The garden is growing, but slowly

Well, I said almost two weeks ago that I was going to complete my fifth page, and I only managed to complete it more than a week later. I blame the wreath, all those one stitches took ages longer than expected!



I finally completed it last Saturday, and immediately celebrated by doing no HAED whatsoever until today (Wednesday). And, to add to Eel's good news, I'll be going on holiday (yes, again!) to Singapore and will only be back this weekend.

We were doing some calculations the other day, as to where we were in regards to the competition. Originally, I was supposed to do 130 stitches a day, and she was supposed to do 125 a day. After some number punching, it turns out then I'm over 40 days ahead of our 4 1/2 year estimated completion date, woohoo!! Of course, she's something like 60+ days ahead of her schedule, so that means I'm way behind her, and only going to get worse this week.

Haha, well, as long as I'm happy, I guess that doesn't really matter. All I need to do is to make sure I complete it within our timeline! So, I still haven't packed yet, and I'm leaving for lunch in about an hour's time. Till the next update, bye!!

Competition Rules

Competition Begins: 1st May 2008
Competition Ends: Chinese New Year 2013

Goal: Complete a HAED design by the time allotted.

Designs chosen are to be of approximately the same sizes. Contestants are free to change their design half way, however it must also be of the similar size to the original design chosen.

Each month, each contestant will deposit USD$20 into a separate bank account.

Every fortnight, each contestant has to update this blog with updated progress pictures.

Prize Money:

If only one contestant completes her design by the deadline, she gets the total amount of money saved by both contestants.

If neither designs are complete, the entire sum of money is to be donated to a charity that is agreed upon by both contestants.

If both complete it on time, the money is divided in the following manner:

60% of the total goes to the contestant who completes* her design first within the deadline.

40% of the total goes to the contestant who completes* her design last within the deadline.

* For EeL, completion means full completion. For Sae, completion for the 60% winner total is 210,400 stitches, with the remainder stitches to be completed by the deadline.
