When I went out to get lunch for Ma and I, something caught my eyes as I passed by a tiny, corner shop.
I saw a display of cross stitch materials.
Browsing through them made my fingers itch so I decided to get a simple set which includes the cloth, thread and needles. I shall make this my post-exam project.
I used to love cross stitch during my teenage years because I had a friend who was very good in sewing. Seeing all her creative works made me want to pursue it too. However, it cost too much and is very time-consuming and my Ma only allowed me to pursue it after my Form 3 public exam.
Hence, after the exam, I went to some arts and crafts shops in Segama and got myself a very beautiful yet complicated set, bought all the material and thus began my stitching.
Alas, it was too complicated a piece and I gave up within one week. I was also distracted by other more interesting post-exam outdoor activities with my friends.
It was more than one decade later after I'd started working that I continued with my abandoned project during one December holiday. My first cross stitch was completed within two weeks of continuous labour and is now sitting prettily on a chest of drawers in my room.
I hope this time round I will be disciplined enough to complete my second cross stitch without any delay.
