August Blog Bash, Day 6

     Today's feature for August Blog Bash 2012 is yours truly. I'm sharing two of my favorite works, which I hope all of Kathy Uyen Nguyen's followers will enjoy.  

       The first one is my "Fairy Moon." Among the numerous cross stitch designs I've diligently worked on, this is my favorite. I used to sew a lot and was hooked on adding sparkly beads to my cross stitch designs. This took the longest to finish. But like magic, it turned out more enchanting than I expected.    

       The next one has something to do with magic, too. It's my first published children's story entitled The Magic Paintbrush. I still can't believe that it's the #1 Top 7 knowonder! stories (as voted by readers). I think Alexa has something to do with it. ;-)

       Please read Kathy Uyen Nguyen's write-up for Day 6 here and check out the daily posts to discover all the authors/artists featured for the whole month. So far, I've been very impressed with these recent contributers: S. M. Abeles (Day 1), Jessica Tremblay (Day 2), Johannes S. H. Bjerg (Day 3), Lana Phillips (Day 4), and Stella Pierides (Aug. 5).
