Spring SAL ~ Update06 & Oriental Splendor SAL01

Rasa mcm byk dah jahit.. tp rasa mcm byk lg yg kena jahit.. Ni je la yg sempat aku siapkan sampai kelmarin..


Semlm ngan hari ni lak aku bz jahit Oriental Splendor, SAL aku ngan K.Salmi. Tak byk mana pun. Still tgh men'serasi'kan mata & jari jahit atas 18ct fabrik. Halus kemain!!!! Sampai nak tertidur la.. zzzzzzzzzz.......

Stitch ALong Oriental Splendor

Another SAL.. another WIP... walla.. byknya WIP!! Boleh siap ke ni.. hahhahahaaa.. Kali ni SAL between aku ngan K.Salmi. Actually dah lama aku beli kit ni, somewhere masa Raya Puasa last year. Hajat nak buat (hajat je la...) tp takde masa (alasan...). But since K.Salmi pun ada kit ni, so aku suggest kat dia buat sama2. At least we can motivate each other to complete this beautiful design..

Very simple rule as it just between me and K.Salmi - update our progress every 2 weeks. Sama mcm Spring SAL jugak. But, yg mencabar ialah ada DATELINE!! K.Salmi suggest by end of June. Kalau tak 100% complete pun, at least 60-70%. Just wait and see how the progress..


SAL ni start today, tapi aku belum start stitching apa2 lagi. Just sorting these colourful threads....

Stitching Bee January 2010 @ Starbuck, Bangsar Village II

Our 1st NNC Stitching Bee for the year of 2010. Same place on 23rd January 2010. Nothing much to 'show & tell" as i forgot to bring my camera. You guys can read full story (if you want too) from Paul's Blog. For those who want to see how Cik Alynn look like, feel free to visit Paul's blog ok.. *wink*...

BTW, this is my birthday pressie for Rose. Actually her birthday was long time ago, somewhere in December but I too lazy to wrap this big cushion. So I just wait until our next bee.. Hopefully you like it Rose.....

Travelling Stitcherhood done!!

I'm free!!! I'm free!!! lalalalalalaaa..Finally, its completed this morning after 12 days. I really enjoy myself stitching this piece. Thanks to you MW for the chart. As you guys can see in the photo below, i decided to stitch the house with Pansy Purple instead of Old Blue Jeans (both from Crescent Colors) and also no bird motif on my piece.

So tomorrow the chart will travel again - all the way from Kuala Lumpur to Aw from Kuantan, Pahang.


I also done with my Valentine Enchange gift. I'll blog about it once my partner receive the package.

Spring SAL ~ Update05

Hari ni, satu hari dari pagi sampai la pukul 6pm td, aku update SAL.. So, ni je la yg sempat aku buat. Ok la tu kan, dari tak buat apa2 langsung. Aku still buzy lagi ngan Stitcherhood. Pastu ada Valentine Exchange nak disiapkan. Due date dah dekat.. benda alahnye tak siap2 lagi.. ada yg beli kat kedai je ni kang...

Oh ye.. K.Nisa dah ada blog sendiri... so silalah g jenguk umah beliau ye. Byk khazanah2 yg boleh buat korang jeles ok...

Travelling Stitcherhood

Remember last time i mentioned about being buzy from this month until mid of February 2010? So, this is why.... Last year, i joined a stitching project with NNC organized by MW ~ Travelling Stitcherhood - Home of a Needleworker too! (HOANT) by LHN. This how its work : We note the number of members interested to stitch the chart, and we pass the same chart to the next member after we finish. We are given a period of 1.5mths to do it and we MUST send it off . So at the end of the Day, the Group of us here have the same stitched piece, all in the name of sisterhood!

Now is my turn to stitch HOANT after Radha and MW. Hopefully i can finish it on time because its not easy to stitch on Linen (this what happen when you get used to stitch on Aida!). Oh ya.. i'm using Crescent Colors floss too.... quite challenging huh! Can't marked the fabric and definitely can't wash it!!!

Buku baru....

Ptg tadi aku gi MPH konon2 nak beli Cross Stitcher latest issue la.. alih2 ada buku xs baru.. ingatkan next dtg MPH baru nak beli... bila pikir2 balik, kang dtg lain kali mesti dah takde.. so aku dgn berbesar hati beli la jugak....heheheheheee... baru je plan nak beli kat Amazon... mmg aku aimed nak beli buku ni... wording dia sweet and funny, tu yg berkenan sgt tu. MPH ni mcm tau2 je. harga kat MPH ni mmg 'tercekik' la... tu baru paperback.. kalo hardcover tak tau la.. mau tergolek pengsan kat situ gak... MrHubby takleh nak kata apa dah.... sukati mu la.. ngeh...ngeh...ngeh...

Lucky Draw

Last year (just a few days back.. LOL), i had joined a Lucky Draw organized by MW of NNC. But i guess i'm not so lucky *sigh*.... So, the winner was Radha from Kedah and i made for her this:

A small box with crossstitch design on the top

.... and also this hanging thing from felt

Unofficial SAL

Lama dah tak jenguk blog ku ini... mintak sorry ye kengkawan... phone line kat umah ada problem, to internet pun takleh nak access.. tension yg teramat... now ok already.

Photo SAL ni bukan aku yg empunya nye yee.. Ni K.Nisa punya.. diam2 je K.Nisa men'join'kan diri.. K.Nisa is my friend from Semenyih, Selangor. Since dia takde blog, so aku dgn sukacitanya menepek SAL beliau kat sini... Byk tu.. dah buat tu.... Diam2 je K.Nisa ni taw..... jenuh nak kejor K.Nisa ngan K.Shima ni... Macamana ni Yati? Kena kerja keras ni...hahahahahaaa..


Nota kaki : K.Shima & Yati.. officially, K.Nisa join kita ber'SAL' ni ekkkk... takde hal kan? Utk K.Nisa lak, nanti amik gambor ekkk, pastu email kat sy naaaa....

Spring SAL ~ Update04

Bersemangat nih nak update SAL aku nih.... hahahahaa.. takde jugak sebenornya... actually, maybe aku takleh online pasni sampai New Year nanti... maybe je. Takut lambat sgt lak nanti nak update..

So, ni je la yg sempat aku siapkan. Nak kata byk tu tak jugak... nak kata sikit, nampak mcm dah byk jugak.... hehehehehee.. sibuk buat mende lain...


Antara alasan2 yg agak reasonable tak byk jahit tu - aku sibuk siapkan Lucky Gift (akanku blog di entry akan dtg, kena tunggu lucky person tu terima parcel dr aku. So bersabar la yek). Alasan yg paling best adalah seperti di bawah:

Jgn gelak ok.... senyum je.... Ini adalah hobi terbaru cik Alynn selepas Quilt & Patchwork. Org lain dah terer buat mcm2 design, aku baru ni je... tu pun single stitch je. Double stitch pun mcm dah ok, tp lupa nak amik gambar sbb aku dah bukak balik... hahahahahaa... lupo lak, sila abaikan kecacatan tu ye... i'm beginner remember... bukan senang ye puan2 nak belajar ngan Cikgu YouTube. Tengok boleh la, tp nak bertanya tu yg tak boleh tu. Nak taknak terpaksa la repeat video tu byk kali.. Tengok buku apa tah lagi, makin pening ada la. Apa2 pun yg paling best, MrHubby bg full support. Tu yg bersemangat tu... pasni nak belajar lak buat treble, double treble, quarduple etc...etc... apo ke bondo nye ni wehhhhh!!!!!

Nota kaki : K.Shima & Yati, maybe bulan dpn sy agak slow berSAL ni ye.... ada projek yg terpaksa disiapkan dlm masa 1.5 bulan... akan di'blog' dlm masa terdekat apa ke mende yg cik Alynn merepek ni...

Stash Swap ~ Pincushion in d'House

Akhirnya... selamat sampai gak pincushion dr Cik Kema nehh. Tak senang duduk taw menunggu parcel ni sampai. Mekaceh bebyk2 la Cik Kema. Mcm2 adaaaa - pincushion (ni kompem la kan), pot holder (rasa sayang nak guna la pulak), Owlla si burung antu (nama ni Cik Kema yg bg ok..) & yg paling best ialah purse itew. Nampak je kicik, tp besar sebenornya yeee... Mekaceh ye Cik Kema.. muahhh..muahhhh..muahhhh...


Yg ni pulak pincushion aku buat utk Maya, owner Craftzone Malaysia. Simple aje. Actually ada 2 pincushion. Tp entah macamana aku dpt idea yg tak berapa kreatif, aku combine jd 1. So dpt la 1 pincushion yg boleh tahan besar besarnya... sungguh tak kreatif.. Hopefully Maya suka (ayat standard la nii).. Yg lain2 tu gift iringan aku utk Maya sbg tanda ingatan dr aku - Needlebook (felt + cross stitch), flowerpin & simple card. By the way, design utk needlebook tu dah penah aku buat sebelum ni, pincushion jugak.

Zila Kasim's Giveaway

Sifu aku ni buat giveaway lagi.. sila klik kat gambar di atas ye.... 5 yg pertama akan dpt pouch mcm dlm gambar ni.. mana blehhh.. aku pun mau gak... syarat2 nya mudah je, copy n paste pastu comment...

WIPs & Spring SAL ~ Update03

Aloha... nampaknya K.Shima ngan Yati bersemangat betul nak siapkan SAL nih. Pagi2 lagi dah update SAL memasing. Aku je yg terkial2 lg.. hehheheehehee.. anyway, ni je la yg sempat dibuat dlm tempoh 2 minggu. Nak kata byk tu tak gak, nak kata sikit, mcm byk je

Ni pulak semua WIP yg sempat aku buat.. stitching mode aku pd tahap gear 1.. tah kena sampuk apa tah... mood tu mcm suam2 je..

Periwinkle Cottage tu aku buat sikit je.. nampak mcm tak jahit apa2 pun kan? Ni sj je gatal tangan menggodek Photoshop. Org lain dah advance, aku baru je terhegeh2 nak buat basic.. heheheheheee

Spring SAL ~ Update02

Tak banyak beza dari Update01. Mcm tak bergerak je kan?? Tapi boleh la dr tak buat langsung... Baru je buat lawatan rasmi kat blog K.Shima. Banyak jugak dah buat tu.. macam aku dah ketinggalan jek ni... uwaaaaa....

Billy's Wedding Sampler

Akhirnya selamat jugak berbingkai sampler ni. Sepatutnya MrHubby pegi amik hari Sabtu lepas, tapi member tu lupa lak bawak resit.. sabo je la.. So, kitorang g la kenduri tu semalam (Ahad) berlenggang je... Tunggu dia masuk keja balik baru boleh bagi..

Billy's Wedding

Wedding gift ni utk MrHubby's colleague. Actually dia ni kawan aku gak. Aku kenal Nubaili (aka Billy) ni sebelum aku kenal MrHubby. Nak kata matchmaker tu tak la.. dah jodoh kot.... hahahaaa.

Design ni simple je, patut boleh siap sebelum 21 Nov.. tapi disebabkan seisi keluarga kena selsema, semua WIP tergendala termasuk la SAL aku.. Hopefully tokei frame tu boleh siapkan sebelum 27hb ni, hehheehehee 2-3 hari je lagi. 27hb ni Majlis Bertandang, kalo tak sempat frame, nampaknya lepas honeymoon la baru pengantin baru ni dpt present diorang ni...

Ni bukan original design. Aku buat changes sikit... and aku rasa original design lagi cantik.... sila abaikan sepit2 tu, tgh tunggu fabrik tu kering.


Ni original design. Rasa2 yg mana lg ok? Aku pilih yg original design........

Floss Tag

Floss tag aku yg pertama -Quaker-Style motif .. not so nice and simple je. Takde yg menarik, tp boleh la nak hold semua HandDyed floss aku tu.. kalo x bersepah je kat dlm basket..

Spring SAL ~ Update01

Baru ni je yg udah siap.. slow stitcher huh... pening gak kepala nak differentiate certain colour especially yg dark colour... kena tenung betul2 & kena refer balik kat original chart.. silap haribulan nanti keluar gak magnifier aku ni kang... LOL

Sorry la ye kengkawan, sepatutnya update semlm. Tp apakan daya... bateri kameraku sudah out.. baru jek g beli tadi.

Stash Swap

Inilah kali pertama aku join swap dgn crafter2 dari seluruh Malaysia nih... Saja je suka2. Dpt gak berkenalan dgn depa suma nih.. ye la kan.. selalu tu blogwalking je, segan la konon nak bertegur sapa...

Swap ni Hani yg organized. Syarat2 swap mcm kat bwh:

Stash yang perlu disediakan:
* 10 biji butang
* 3 pieces fabric bersaiz fat quarters (18"x22")
* 3 pieces ribbon (1 meter each)
* 2 pieces felt (A4 size)
* Special (surprise) stash dari diri sendiri

so, ni lah partner yg dah Hani tetapkan

Fida --> Shiela --> Hani --> Jaja --> Faiza --> Azie --> Mus --> Alynn --> Kak Pah --> Anas --> Fida

Dan setelah menunggu bagai nak giler, akhirnya adik posmen tu pon dtg ler ketok pintu umah aku mcm nak roboh (actually adik posmen ni mmg dah biasa anta parcel kat umah aku, takyah tanya nama lg dah, terus bg jek parcel tuh)... Mekaceh byk2 Mus.. Dr jauh mai nih, Penang nun hah! Aku mmg suke giler hari ni... mmg tahap meroyan dah.. mana taknya, Cik Mus mmg betul kasi surprise.. 6 ketul Cross Stitch Mags.. mcm tak caya jek.. stash yg lain tak ku pandang seketika la Cik Mus. Dah abes belek magazine baru aku belek stash yg lain.. muahahahahahaa.. Kalo Mus ada kat depan aku, dah lama aku cium2 taw.. muah...muah..muah.. Tima kaceh la Cik Mus cayang.... mcm2 adaaaa... meroyannn okkkk..



Stash utk Cik Pah dah aku pos lama dah. Since dia jauh nun kat Sibu & dia lak kena balik Perlis sbb FIL dia meninggal dunia, so aku takleh la nak tunjuk lagi. Kena la bg tuannya tgk dulu.. belek2 dulu... nanti aku update bila Cik Pah dah received ok...

Slow Like a Snail

Dah lama rasanya tak update WIP. Malas sungguh, nak amik gambar, nak pilih lak yg the best, pastu nak edit lagi.. asyik tertangguh jek.. Tapi semalam aku tetiba lak rajin.. punya la semangat nak update, tapi card reader aku pulak hilang entah ke mana. Bikin hilang mood tawwww.. Nak tak nak aku ajak la MrHubby g JJ beli lagi satu. Aku gerenti 2-3 hari lagi mesti card reader yg lama tu keluar dr tempat persembunyiannya!

So, buat sementara (sementara??!) inilah semua WIP aku.. slow like a snail baby!!
