Sew Me Happy

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.

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~

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...

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 ~

Wow, very the busy one........ Belum masuk bulan Ramadhan ni, sudah macam ni. Hi yo'll....... What a weekend! My Aiman gone to KK with my parents, and I got all weekend to, what else?, SEW... I completed 1 baju kurung and wore it the next day! 2 more to go!! But since sunday (25/7) is our 1st anniversary, we bought a tiramitsu cake from Kak Lia (my officemate)and ordered pizza. What a nice (sempoi) way to celebrate, eh? hehehe... My idea at first was to celebrate on a beach. But then I thought what a waste of time. So many things to do at home.... So back to the house, celebrating with my bro Baboy. Hmmm...... Hey, check this out! My 1st try on combining pictures into one frame using photoshop. P/S : Happy anniversary Sayang, hope that Allah SWT blessed our marriage, forever n ever... Amin....

Hey, check out my new top header? In case u r wondering, the orchid is my mom's, the picture was taken by my hubby, and edited by me. How bout that? hehehe.... Juz showing of a bit bit.... See ya!

I am exited to tell that I got a new hobby. "Photographing". It first come from my hubby when he bought a DSLR EOS 1000D camera, but since he only knew little english, I had to read the manual and tips for him. It is hard to block the knowledge from entering your brain when you are reading. So, here I am. I have zero knowledge on taking photopgraph, so I googled (the most efficient and fast learning tool). It's kinda interesting, and even more when I saw nice and beautiful photographs on flickr. Then I learn photo editing using Photoshop CS. What a cool program!! Check these out!! Too much green??? My cute niece My brother n my father on the roof!! Whats with the new hobby? Hardly have time to do all, now this??? (question to my self, pls ignore...)
