Butterflies....Really Back To School!

My hasil kerastangan.....
combination of pink & blue....
so sweet...
(tgh syok sendiri nih... hehehe...)
the idea is from one of the books I bought from
It's another item for my swap partner, Ayu
hopefully she'll love it
(yelah.. nak jahit beg ilmu masih kureng...hehehe..)

The butterflies remind me of the little butterflies
who performed on the 1st day of 2011

2011... my lil butterfly is in Year One... all smiles....

Soursop Ice-cream, New Year, Fabric Trays & I

Soursop ice-cream aka ais krim durian belanda....
hmmmm... yummy....
my fave lately
(mmg suka... suka... teramat suka.... ngeee..)
We went to Village Mall, SP just now....
Dinner at Chicken Rice Shop & bought d ice-cream from Daily Fresh..

See my contented face..... hehehe.... enjoying d ice-cream before the food arrived...
(d pic was snapped by my little angel, Raina)

The end of 2010... the beginning of 2010...
So I'd like to take this opportunity to wish
ALL OF YOU
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Well, I was in Selangor & KL recently...
no sewing done though I did bring my tool box....
(patut le rasa keras semcm je masa mnjahit td... hikss..)

Besides visiting my sis, shopping was on d list too...
I heard so much about Daiso(rambang mata) & Craftworld(tak jumpa pon)
so I persuaded my Cik Abe to bring me there... hehehe..
(of course, that's another story)

This book is from Daiso... It's only RM5 but very inspiring!
(cuba tgk gambar sebelah kiri bhgn atas tuh... cantik, kan?)

My first attempt....
tersilap kira so rendah le pulak.... hisks...

tp cun gak...
(kena puji diri sendiri supaya lebih bsemangat!!! cewah!)

kain corak kasut tu?
Purchased from Kak Ros-Nykolett Curtains & Soft Furnishing
the pink fabric? Alamoda (Jakel) Sg Petani.
(saja nk bgtau supaya korang tau)

Terbalikkan....
ni le rupanya....

I was dissatisfied...
Thus, I made another one
maybe more after this....
by d way, if Ayu from Sweetlilcraft Collections happens to see this
I hope she'll like it coz it's for her....
she's my swap partner who's going to get my handmade item..
(berdebarnye...)


p.s. I should post it by 31 Dec 2010 but it's still here...
Jd kena tambah 1 lg buat Ayu... Denda sbb lambat...
Tak sama mcm fabric tray ni....Apa ye??? Tungguuuu...

Use them, please..

Whenever I bought bedsheets, I got the plastic bags...

Recently, I cleaned up my room
and reused them..
They are now visible in my room
like this nataria plastic bag...
or Aussino plastic bags....
or even the small plastic bags from a decor shop..
(label diskaun pon masih melekat.... hehehe...)

I put all my threads, zippers, ribbons and laces in them.

Now, I can see clearly what I have...
you know la...
everytime I searched for these items...
I'd mess up my room coz I couldn't find them...
Besides, whenever I see the colourful zippers or laces or ribbons..
I got new ideas..
(masih dlm kepala.. hehehe...)

p.s. never throw these plastic bags... they are extremely useful...

Raina's 1st Designs

Raina showed me this....
and this....
her first designs...
InsyaAllah, i'll try to realise them one day...

I want to be hurt!

Usually, i tried easy tasks
i avoided pains caused by d pins
but today i just want to hurt myself..
so i gambled in making this hp casing aka hp pouch...
no tutorial to follow...
i just look at a sample & tried to do it myself
Fortunately, I succeeded....
the rose is for my sis, Yun...
she's in d hospital right now...
battling against cancer...
the lady in d fabric reminds me of her...
so sweet... so cute... so young...
yet she gets cancer..& she's so young...
(my heart is crying for her...)
because of her, i chose black...
all because of her...

inside it's all black!
i added two pockets in red
which are always there side by side...
i put my hubby's hp inside just now but i know it's wrong..
d owner is still waiting....
i'm still stuck here...
2 more days before i can be there
to see her, my lil sis, Yun...


i miss her
i'm praying that she'll be fine
i'm hoping so hard for her well-being
i'm wishing for her health..
so that she'll be d sis i used to know

that's why i want to hurt myself...
to feel all pains she has to endure..
sewing helps me...
i did hurt myself...
but it's nothing
compared to d pains Yun has to face..


p.s. ya Allah! help us! give us strength to overcome all obstacles.... make her healthy...please...

Back To School- Pondok Craft (Finale)

I've added two items...
Item no. 1....it's a bag
(beg mengaji blh... beg pi tusyen pon ok..)
zoom dkt jap...
& dalam....
my first attempt in making this type of bag
(sempoi punye bag berani ler....hehehehe...)
and my Raina became a model too
showing off the bag...
happily...
but dissatisfied...
(sbb beg ni bkn miliknya... hikkss..)

I thought I was done
but at the last minute
I made item no. 2...
another pencil case
coz I like the fabric
So a pencil case it becomes....
the other side....
& inside....
all fabrics are from Nagoya...

I packed everything in a plastic bag
recycled from Aussino's bedsheet plastic cover
(rugi kalau buang.... mcm2 blh buat guna benda tu...)
tgk blkg lak...
ready to be posted...


This morning, I went to the post office...
cramped everything in the 'pos ekspres' box
voila, it's ready....

Hoping for its safe journey....


p.s. Tima kacih ye Ayu sbb bg peluang utk beramal sambil mengasah skill jahit mnjahit ni...
May Allah bless you!
