a little bit of this and that....

Bright and clear wheather today. Alhamdulillah...
At home with Sara as Saffiya is with her grandmother.
Poor kids...as we never plan to go anywhere during this school break
I have a lot of assignments to be done
All to be settled during this school break!!
This is the only time where I can concentrate more
on my books and studies!!!
And I have to tune off all other activities that plays in my mind (perhaps until my semester ends!!)
This is the most stressful period!!! ArrrgggHHH!!!

My mind being disturb with a lot of things lately
tsunami...earthquake...politics...women's right...bla..bla..bla...
hey!!! semua tu sangat mengganggu fikiran saya hokkaayy!!


don't know which one has to be given priority
that is my biggest weaknesses (at least i have guts to admit it ehhh)
Nevertheless, I am really grateful for having a great support and understanding from my hubby and kids (especially)
also from the rest of our family
thanks a zillion to them for being my great supporter all this while
without them i could do nothing!!

this is my log cabin pincushion
i did it a long time ago (but yet to have time to post about it)
huhu.. lame excuse from me (again??!!!).
tulah saya...

beginilah rupanya seadanya...

last but not least
remeber the sew n share crafty swap organized by zura lovemelots last time??
this is the bag n cosmetic pouch which i received from my partner Nur zilawati
she does not have any blog (i guess) she is blogless
we only get communicated via e-mail
actually, i received it quite awhile from her
sorry for my 'lateness' (again)
i really love the thing she has given to me
thanks a lot nurzilawati!!

till we meet again.

Sew n Swap

berjaya menyertai 'sew n swap' project yg di'hos'kan oleh zura hari tu. Due datenya pd 31/12/2010 yg lalu tetapi sy (tanpa dirancang & tanpa diduga) terpaksa membuat due date saya sendiri. hehehe..spt yg tlh dinyatakan sblm ni (bagai jatuh ditimpa tangga), mesin jahit dan laptop sy kedua2nya terpaksa dihantar utk 'rawatan' di rumah sakit yg berdekatan. ironically nya ia berlaku serentak!!! huhu..berpeluh dan tak tidur mlm sy dibuatnya sbb terkenangkan 'hutang piutang' sy pd rakan 'swap' dan juga rakan "BOM" saya... Minta maaf pd mereka semua yerr..

dipendekkan cerita, rakan 'swap' saya ialah si manis liza 'iro-iro' tu. hop on to her site yerr.. saya jahitkan untuknya 'lunch-tote-bag' dan juga pincushion. saya peroleh tutorial lunch-tote-bag tu dari sini.

Lunch tote bag & Pincushion

liza ada b'tanya dari mana sy dapatkan fabrik lunch tote bag tu. honestly i have no idea where to get the fabric..sebabnya fabrik tu adalah pemberian kakak sepupu kepada saya. dah lama fabrik berada dlm simpanan saya dan fabrik tu juga merupakan one of my favourite. di alam maya ni pun hari tu sy pernah ternampak fabrik yang sebegitu tapi dah tak ingat di mana. kalau ada kawan2 yg sudi berkongsi di mana boleh didapati fabrik yg mcm tu sila tinggalkan jejak di sini yer..

Terketar2 tangan nak membuatnya. bermacam2 perkara berlegar di fikiran pd masa tu. dah lah dah terlepas due date, lepas tu my swap partner pun can be considered as professional whereas myself is neither ameteur nor professional!! haih...(dalam hati : tu lah gatal sangat nak join 'swap2' nih).

take it easy!!

apapun saya bersyukur kerana telah berjaya melunaskan segala hutang piutang saya. and many thanks to zura for her big effort in conducting this swap thing.

bila ada kelapangan nnti saya akan update kan entry pasal BOM saya pulak yer..

Untuk Ayu...

Ini adalah "pincushion" dan juga "needlebook case'"untuk pasangan "stash swap" saya, Ayu yang dirancang dan diatur oleh Hani. Kami tergolong di dalam kumpulan yang ketiga bagi tujuan tersebut. Barangan tersebut (serta beberapa barangan lain yg tdk sempat saya rakamkan gambarnya) adalah sebagai "suprise stash" dari saya. Terus-terang saya nyatakan di sini bahawa sesungguhnya saya berasa amat segan dan malu atas pemberian saya ini buat Ayu sementelah kerjatangan saya tidaklah secantik dan sekemas kerjatangan Ayu. Tetapi saya amat berharap yang Ayu akan menyukainya.

Yang ini pula adalah '3 FQs' dan juga 'Felt' seperti yang disyaratkan itu...

Ribon dan juga butang....

Walau apapun...suka saya nyatakan di sini sebenarnya saya amat bertuah dapat menyertai "stash swap" ini. Harus diakui sebenarnya aktiviti sebegini dapat mengeratkan tali Silaturrahim sesama kita (dan sememangnya saya seorang yang amat suka berkawan!!!). Dan saya masih menanti apa perancangan Hani yang seterusnya kerana apa yang pasti walau apa jua perancangannya saya akan TURUT SERTA!! Yeay!!

Stash Swap (Group 3).

Salam...
Finally the long awaited parcel has arrived!! I was so happy when I received the parcel from mr hubby. It's from Zura of Sewretrochic! I could not wait to see what's inside!!

Ta daaa... awesome stuffs inside!!

Closer view... These are the fabrics - American Cottons. They are from a very wellknown fabric designers - Amy Butler, Dena Designs & Alexander Henry. Wow!! I heart the fabrics soooo much. Many thanx to zura. Very kind of her to let me have those fabrics!!

The felts, buttons, ribbons, animal eyes n 'noses'. I was so lucky to have them. Anything not mention in the stash swap terms I regard it as a suprise which I greatly appreciate. Thanks again to zura.

Big suprise for me!! Really gives me kinda "INSPIRATION". The mag is fabulous. I Love it!! Really do. Suprising.. zura was able to read my mind especially my interest in embroidery.

I really want to say a big thanks to zura for all the good stuffs she has given me. I heart them sooo much. Actually she has given me more than what she is supposed to give!! Do drop by to her place. You will get amaze!!

By the way, I've sent my parcel to my partner Ayu of Sweetlilcraft. I'm not sure whether she has receive it or not. Still awaiting for her response or anything as regard to the matter.

Have a nice weekend!!!
