Assalamualaikum semua.. Best kan weekend ni, ada cuti satu hari hehehe..... Aku seperti biasa, menghabiskan cuti dengan mengusahakan 'kilang' beg, cuba menyiapkan order2... Ni lah hasilnya... Enjoy :D

I always bring Aiman's pix in my thumb drive, coz sometimes I missed him while working, and I can just look at his pix. Too bad we didn't have a digital camera when he was a baby. I missed the moment when I took care of him since he was 2 days old ~sentimental me~

Halluuu.... Today I wanna join Giveaway lah... Organized by Tote Boutique , one of my favorite handmade crafter. Her famous product would be Long Wallet. But this time, she'll give away 3 card wallets to 3 lucky people. Hopefully I am that lucky :D Wish me luck!!

Assalamualaikum.... Last 2 nights ago, I finished a Buttercup Bag, a free pattern by Made By Rae . It was an easy project, and definitely recommended for beginners. Somehow, I omitted the magnet button closure, so there was no closure on the bag. Suddenly I remember I bought 2 sets of snap button at my favorite store, ♥Jelip♥ last month. I've never use them before, so, oh! there are instructions on the back :p Easy, don't worry. The only additional tool you must have is a HAMMER. This is how it looked on my bag. But one question remains, which is front? The full covered button or the ring button? The finished / beautiful / lovely / cute and the renowned Buttercup Bag .

Alkisahnya... pada 10hb lepas, jenguk FB kalu, ramai rakan2 prihatin mengingatkan kita untuk menantikan gerhana bulan. mula-mula kami nda kesah la sangat... kalau nampak, nampak la. kalau nda, nanti ada la yang post di FB.... tapi!! kalau sudah balik-balik di post, kambuh tia jua........jadi kali ni aku dan hubby pakat2 la untuk shooting malam tu. setting2 la kunun.... berbekalkan kamera DSLR Canon D1000 kami yang paling basic, aku buat stress test :) Mo liat sejauh mana kemampuan kamera kam irang. waktu start gerhana, aku ambil gambar. waduh!!! kecil ya amat!! macam cahaya lampu jalan saja. bak kata urang kedayan "paidahnya ini!!" macam mana ni? so aku setting, gambar, tukar setting, gambar.... nda jua menjadi. jadi aku pasrah. maklumlah.... lens basic.... hubby pun sudah surrender, last2 layan G-Tabnya. Alahaii hubby........ Tiba-tiba, -TING- lampu atas kepala ku menyala. aku tukar image size kepada yang Large/Raw. pastu gambo je le.... dah tu import ke komputer dan maximi...

Nak tahu kami bercuti di mana? Saaaanaaaa KL saja bah........ Weird thing was, Mom and my bro went to Vietnam, as planned earlier, and Dad went to Jogjakarta, with rombongan KWPKB. It was like one goes to the north, and the other goes to south. We stucked in the middle, in KL. hehehe... Mom at the front seat. Mom and bro, trip to Vietnam Dad in Jogja Funny and yet, freaky!! I won't blog about our trip, you can read about it in my sister's blog here . What I really want to share is, my fabrics :D We stayed in Palace Hotel in Jalan Masjid India/Jalan TAR, so we practically live in the middle of "Fabric Heaven"!! Here's my findings :- Fabric for clothes, from Nagoya & Aked Fabric for bags from Nagoya Fabric for bags from Kamdar Fabric for clothes, from Vietnam Fabric for bags, from Vietnam What I like about cotton from Vietnam is, bidang 60"... Woohoo.... By now I'm pretty sure you know my favorite color :D

As salam Jumaat, hari yang penuh berkat, semoga kita dilimpahi rahmat, bahagia di dunia hingga ke akhirat...... Everyone is fussing over today's date. Why? Because it is a beautiful and easy-to-remember date. That is also why so many couples choosing this date for their solemnization ceremony, or other beautiful date for that matter... I personally think that numbers are numbers, no significant value for a person's life. If I want to get married, doesn't matter what date it is. The sooner the better :D But, I've been married for 2 years now. And whenever the question arises, when did you get married? Errrm... *pause* well... 25th of July, if not 26th, on 2009 or 2010 *pause again* I'll check the calendar. WHAT????? I don't remember my wedding date??? Now I know why. So go ahead, choose the easiest date to remember, because when years passed you by, in my case 2 years, you won't remember unless with the help of your best friend, the handphone calendar notific...

G . I . V . E . A . W . A . Y Soon... So Gals and Guys, watchout ya! (^_^)

Yeay!! Finally. I get to sew productively this weekend, at least that's what I thought. I managed to finish 3 items ordered loooong ago. Hehehe I apologize for making you wait too long my friends. This thing above, ordered by my office mate Maz. It is originally a pleated purse, but I omitted the pleat pocket, instead, I add a zipper pocket at the back, as requested. So lets call it a Zipper Purse (^_^) Black stripes Galaxy Pouch Orange Stripes Galaxy Tab Pouch These 2 stripey twins were ordered by my office mate Julie. Notice my product pictures lately? I just learned how to use Photoscape (how lame~). My favorite is picture combination, and it is obvious thehehe.... I saw several craft bloggers using this technique and it's just beautiful. ~ Salam Aidil Adha ~
