Colour your life contest

The deadline is today! 28th Feb 2011. My previous crafty swap partner WEEN GORGEOUS is the organiser. Sound fun, heh?
I was undecided at first about participating because I feel others are better in this 'mix n match' area than me..... But lantak ler.... need to put more colours in my life.... Let me check my closet.... Aha! Yeah, I found the dress I bought last year so asked my lil Raina to be my professional photographer..... hehehe....
Equipped with only my hp camera, see the result la..... hahahaha!!!! (psssttt.... dh makin berisi le.... hiksss..)

-a yellow tudung & a simple english floral cotton dress(blue, purple, green, maroon, orange, a bit of brown & red)(sofa pon mcm serasi jer dgn tema bajuku.... ngeee...)
Click HERE for more info ya....
p.s. Sometimes we really need to spice up our lives. Betul tak Ween?
p.p.s. baju tu sebenornyer nk buat sample baju jahitan tgn sendiri... hiksss!!!

Farewell gifts for Mr Anas

Sorry ya, can't show uols the pics of the presents coz somehow they r gone in d hp. It's already too late when I realised that the photos were missing.....huhuhu.... The farewell gifts are for Mr Anas. He's Ijan's & Raina's music teacher. He's moved to Alor Setar & today, it's their last day together. At first I wanted to sew something but with so many PHD (Products Half Done), I decided to make a felt keychain for him. Luckily, I bought a few "Jom Buat Sendiri" packs from KEDAI SUS ... hehehe... One of them is this pack..... "JOM BUAT SENDIRI KEYCHAIN GUITAR". Konpem sesuai buat Mr Anas yg tera muzik nih!

Last night, I stayed up to accomplish the mission. The result? Sama tp tak sama...

If u want to imagine my end product, refer to the above pic ya.... I used the same colour even though d pack consists of pink, white & grey felt. Couldn't resist the temptation to use the same colours... hikss!!! But unlike the guitar on the left above (kosong jer), my hasil kerastgn has Mr Anas' name. Caiyok...caiyok...

Besides the keychain, I also purchased this cute mug. There're a pair of them but I gave one jer to him... hihihi... the other one of course mine la... Too cute... Below is my mug. Just want u to get a glimpse of that farewell gift. Tomei, kan? Beli kat Tesco. Rege between RM20-30 a pair.

Imagine that in the middle, there's a wording ....

"Especially for MR ANAS"

Then.... "Love... HIFZHAN &...

........RAINA"

So uols gunakn ler daya imaginasi uols sbb nk tunjuk pon brg dh selamat di tgn Mr Anas... hikkss!!!!

p.s Thank you Mr Anas for being such a wonderful music teacher. The best of luck from all of us!

p.p.s. Apron dh siap 90%.... hehehe...:D

To Penang With Love

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!

I'm extremely fortunate to celebrate it a week early coz my boss decided to allow us to have a ten day break..... (of course la kena cuti ganti lepas ni.... huhuhu...)

So many UFOs at home but I was outside most of the time & ended up feeling exhausted... hahaha... Hey! Did I tell you that I'm also under the weather! At first, it's sore throat....then the cough & now the cold.... I sneeze almost all the time & have to supply tissues because of the runny nose.... very irritating! That's why I told my hubby I didn't want to go to Kelantan. Not fit enough to travel on the road (yelah tu... pi Penang boleh pulak!)

Yeah, I did go to Penang this week...TWICE! Today & 2 days ago! (jgn tak caya...)

PENANG STORY NO. 1

Today, we were in Penang with my brother-in law & his beautiful family. They were visiting my in-laws in PB but my mother-in-law joined the trip to Kelantan..so my hubby thought it's better for all of us to go for an outing to Penang instead after the Friday prayer. It's the last minute notice but it's better late than never! From SP we went straight to Penang. While waiting for Eddy & his gang , we dined at Mr Teppanyaki at Gurney Plaza. Once they arrived, my kids were in joy.

See! My lil princess posing cheerfully with her cousins....

(apa nk buat...dah lama tak jumpa...)

After that, we went to Botanical Garden & had a ride on a sentimental train...hehehe... (sbb malas nak jalan). On the way back to the jetty, I managed to snap this pic from inside the car. I really love to see the architecture of the buildings in Penang. Cantik, kan?

oops...gambar senget le pulak...hikss...

Once we reached the mainland, we had dinner at R&R Pantai Bersih. The kids...loved the beach so much. They even built sandcastles in darkness... (habis ler kotor bdk2 tu tp sekali sekala... why not! Yg penting they all... HAPPY!!) We reached home after 11pm. The kids are all asleep...shhhh!!

PENANG STORY NO. 2

2 days ago, I fulfilled my promise to go to kak CORINE's Pondok in Penang. The last time I was there, I learned the art of making "Little Missy Sling Bag". It was before Hari Raya Puasa last year. My mission this time? To master the art of sewing zippers..... & sewing more bags.... hahaha!!!! The result???? Uols tgk ler sendiri...... ikss...

sbb tak buat homework, tak dpt ler siapkn bag idaman tu....

but it's ok..... going to post the pic of the bag once it's completed.
Going to see kak Corine again next week...lalalala...

p.s. Will go back to Penang with more love.... hehehe...
