Friendship Forever

Remember making friendship bracelets out of embroidery floss during school days?

As a symbol of our 19 years of friendship, I've made my husband a friendship bracelet. It has been as many years if not more since I made one. Do you even remember how to make one? I, again, turned to the ever helpful google search for refreshment course. I still don't know how to make those complicated pretty patterns. It took a lot of trial and error to make the basic ones that I did.


This was me making the W pattern during a recent trip to Singapore. Believe it or not, hubby actually taught me this pattern!


The one I'm using for the keys turned out too short even for my bony wrist and the one in the middle was intended for hubby but also turned out too short for him, so it ends up in my own stash of accessories.


This is another one of the same pattern in similar colours made for him. So we now have matching bracelets! :)

If you are wondering where I got my embroidery floss from (they are awfully expensive nowadays!), I actually managed to search and find the balance I put away from all those years when I used to be a novice cross-stitch enthusiast.


Some of my masterpieces

I kid you not. That was a lifetime ago. I, myself, find it hard to believe when I look at these.. at all the hard work and patience put into them.
