Found this article on Facebook and I thought it's a good read. So I thought I would share it here in my blog, for future reference. For creative business. Read the article -->  http://thenectarcollective.com/9-things-ive-learned-from-running-my-own-business/

Assalamualaikum. Pretty common view, kan? But this is a view of sunrise, the sea and the mainland of Sabah from my bedroom window. Imagine waking up to this every morning.

A year ago, there's a baby. Precious, adorable, beautiful, sweet baby girl. A wonderful blessing. A gift from Allah S.W.T. Born on this special date. 03 October 2014. A baby that filled the empty place in my heart. When you arrived, everything changed. My world gets bigger. My heart grows fuller. And my life means more. Because YOU are in it. Nur Hidayah. You are my bundle of joy. My sunshine. My rainbow. Happy birthday sweet baby. I LOVE YOU.

Love at first sight. That's right. A pattern by WIKSTEN.  This pattern is for intermediate sewing skills. My first time sewing a blouse with an existing pattern. I usually draft blouse pattern myself. See these links here. Lacey Bib Blouse , Buttoned Bib Blouse , and Blouse Muslimah . You can also view all my self-drafted blouse pattern posts under  Blouse/Tops/Tunic Label. The pattern are pretty much the same. However, that collar look soo yummy, and I have never made that before. So I gave it a try. The advantage, I can learn new skills, AND honing them. Yeay!! I only adjusted the pattern size a bit to better fit me. My kinda top. Loose and comfy, yet stylish. My favorite. 

Assalammualaikum. Raya tahun ni tak sangka boleh ambil tempahan menjahit dengan baby 9 bulan. Sebenarnya aku tiada perancangan untuk mengambil tempahan, takut tak termampu untuk menyiapkan. Tapi alhamdulillah, mungkin rezeki anak, boleh juga ku menyiapkan tempahan tertunggak tahun lepas dan tempahan untuk raya tahun ni. Paling laju merempit pada bulan Ramadhan, menjahit pada waktu malam dan selepas sahur. Tempahan kali ni pun daripada kawan pejabat saja. Ni nak cerita design baju yang ditempah kawanku, Kurung Moden Eyelash Lace namanya haa.... Dia mau begitu-begini, aku pun ikut saja lah. Turn out cantik sangat la pulak. Lace tu dia beli online. Nantilah kot aku beli buat sedondon dengan anak.

I just remember that I haven't blog about this bag. My favorite, so far. Beautiful AND large. Finished dimension of this bag is 11" height, 14" wide and 6" deep.This pattern is michellepatterns. Brilliant. I use this beautiful roses-printed denim I bought at Kamdar Jalan TAR. Lovely, isn't it? I made this bag for a very special occasion, to welcome our beautiful daughter, Nur Hidayah. She was born on October 2014, and I finished this bag on September. Perfect timing. Instead of shopping for a new diaper bag, I decided to try out this 4-Pocket Skirt Bag pattern because it looks funky yet girly. I also love the single and adjustable long strap, totally fuss-free, especially while holding a baby . I made some upgrade from the original pattern by adding zipper to the main entrance, adding another zipped pocket at the back, because every bag HAS to have one, and another open pocket inside for my tab. So overall, I made a 6-Pocket Skirt Bag. That, my friend, i

Entahlah. Ke mana menghilang semua MASA ku? Terasa terkejar-kejar setiap hari, kerja, kerja, kerja. Tiada masa untuk berehat pun. Tahu-tahu, sampai sudah ke pertengahan TAHUN 2015!!! Inilah post pertamaku untuk tahun ini. So sad.... Haissssh...... Ku ingin kembali aktif, dengan hobiku, dengan blog ku. InsyaAllah. Mohon dulu kepada Allah SWT.
