We've made it to our first full HAED year! It's so hard to believe, it really doesn't feel like one year yet, time has just WOOSHED right by. In honour of our anniversary, we've updated all our information on the right side bar, as well as set up a new template! We weren't sure what template to use at first, but then we found out that the 1st year anniversary is paper, so we found a paper-themed template. So, if by chance you're following us via an RSS feed, do pop by and check out our new look. Eel and I have also created an individual slideshow of our progress pictures from update 1, till now, so sit back and enjoy the show below.



In the past year, I've graduated to stitching my HAED by hand to using Q-snaps. I learned about terms like tent stitching, parking and confetti stitches. I used fabric higher than 14ct for the first time in my life! So, all in all, a pretty good year stitching-wise.

During that one year, I also went on a lot of holidays (thanks in part to Air Asia!). I visited Boracay, Bali and Egypt! So, yes, a very good year traveling-wise as well! :D

I don't have a full blown picture of my HAED, as I don't want to take it off the Q-snaps until I'm done with the page I'm currently working on, but I took one a couple of weeks ago. Here's what it looked like when I first started, compared to two weeks ago.



And this is my progress on the section I'm working on.


So, we've posted early this time to make it in time for our 1st year anniversary. This means that it's also Labour Day and a public holiday for me, yay! I'm heading out for breakfast with friends, so I hoped you all enjoyed our changes!
