Oops, I'm late!

I was meant to blog a few days ago but with MSN being busted between me and Sae, I've had no one reminding (nagging :p) me to update. It finally hit me just now in the shower so I thought I'd better do it now before I forget and tomorrow Sae will scold me somehow.

I've been in a HAED rut lately and pretty much haven't touched it. It really doesn't help that I'm stuck on single stitches trying to finish this page. I think I better print out the next page and move along to gain some momentum.

Anyway, here is my progress pic. As you can see, I'm so close! And yet, still so far....

Some stuff that has been taking up my time? Well firstly I am now legally married :D. Our marriage registration was last Sunday. Check out our wedding rings:




Other news, my mum has just arrived to visit. Maybe she has some wise advice on how to stitch faster!

I'd best get onto some stitching right away!

Eeleng, congrats! You know I almost used this template for my own blog (I still have it there to be selected), then I see that you're using it too. So we have similar taste :P (at least for blog template).

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.
