NNC Birthday Exchange 2010

2010-08-12T23:03:00.005+08:00

As-salam & Hye....

Happy Birthday to me... Actually, yesterday 11th August was my birthday... Nothing much to do, no celebration like year before, and year before that and so on.....

Last year, December 2009, i signed up for NNC Birthday Exchange organized by Margaret Wong aka MW.. and my secret exchange buddy was Astrid from Mauritius. I received my gift long time ago. As you guys can see the date, its was almost 1 month ago! Its really makes me crazy as we can't open it nor peeking it.. or else we will be 'chase' by our headmistress, MW.. LOL!

This is what inside...... Taraaa....Very lovely purple wrapper... and inside the purple wrapper - A table runner, a bunch of DMC Stranded Cotton, Silk Threads, Mill Hill Beads, Buttons & Birthday card. If you noticed, everything in purple, my favourite color!!! Astrid also give me a CCN chart "The Tea Room" together with flosses..

Nice ehh...

Everything for birthday mum...

I really love this table runner. Its apprx 1.3metre long! and of course, its purple...

Dear Astrid, thanks you so much for everything you send to me.. I really love it.. For those who want to know about Astrid, a superb quilter, you can visit her blog : Grandma's Red Needle.

Last but not least, Selamat Menyambut Bulan Ramadhan Al-Mubarak to all my muslim's reader.

Bowled Over....

As-Salam & Hye....

Sibuk... bz... ayat klise... Hakikatnya aku mmg sibuk. Menyiapkan tempahan dari sahabat baik aku dari Kuantan. Tu belum lagi tempahan dari SIL aku.. Nasib baik la umah dekat je.. bila2 pon boleh pegi hantar... ahaks...

Setelah sebulan tak pegang jarum n kain xs ni, ni la hasil utk sesi memanaskan jari dan tangan. Tapi still xleh lawan K.Shima punya Bee Hive... jeles.. jeles....

Design kali ni byk guna beads. Leceh la guna beads, aku prefer buat French Knot lagi. Tapi dah ada dlm kit tu, nak buat macamana... buat je la.. rugi pulak kalo tak guna.

Big package from South Carolina, US

2010-05-13T16:56:00.007+08:00

Yeahaaaaaa.... i've been waiting for this parcel for the whole week. Its from my Pincushion Exchange partner Diane Merlock, South Carolina, US. I was informed by Diane that the box is about 12"x16" and my first impression was - wahhh, its sure a large pincushion!!. Then, later she email again and told me that there is another smaller box inside. She had to bubble wrap it and put a lot of shredder papers and packaging peanuts because she said that the pincushion she made is breakable. Now i wonder how my pincushion look like LOL!

The package was sent by Priority and postage costs a bomb!!

After 'digging' the big box, here's what inside the smaller box. Oh ya.. the smaller box also have a lot of packaging peanuts!

The main attraction!! My lovely pincushion from across the entire ocean... and its inside the ceramic bowl..

Its come with saucer too!! BTW Diane, i'm not going to glue it. Both flower bowl and saucer are so beautiful especially the saucer. Its like a sunflower!

I really enjoyed the stashes too!! Everything in blue - DMC Stranded Cottons, small scissor, felts, very nice beads (pearl beads i guess), ribbon flowers and a container. Thank you so much Diane for everything.. *HUGS*

Biscornu & Pincushion Exchange 2010 With K.Nisa

2010-05-04T20:59:00.008+08:00

Hye and as-salam semua...

Lama dah tak update blog. Last month aku ngan K.Nisa setuju nak buat exchange. Kitorang berdua jer... saja suka2 bg hilang tension ngan stress (aku ler tu.. ahaks..) Since K.Nisa dah tau camana nak buat Biscornu, so kitorang decided nak buat both Pincushion & Biscornu plus satu lagi Mystery Gift.

So, ni Pincushion & Biscornu dari aku utk K.Nisa. Simple je designnye...

Pincushion : The Prairie Schooler Design (14ct Aida)

Biscornu : World of Cross Stitch Magazine (28ct Evenweave)

Ni pulak Mystery Gift dari aku utk K.Nisa. Actually aku nak handmade something. Tapi disebabkan dua2 buah ati aku, Afiqah & Haiqal tak sihat, so terpaksa la aku pegi ke plan B. Nak masuk 3 minggu ni, baru depa sihat sepenuhnya. Kalo tak tu, sambung-menyambung sakit diorang.. Paling teruk Haiqal la.. 3x pegi klinik. Sampai doktor cakap, kalo aku dtg lagi, doktor akan suruh pegi hospital. Alergik aku dgr perkataan hospital tu. Trauma, fobia, semua ada.

Buttons, Impression Aida, 2 FQs, Newton Law's Bookmark Kit, Chart, DIY Love, DMC Threads - Satin, Pearl Cotton, Light Effect, Variations

Yang ni pulak dari K.Nisa utk aku. Suka weh... suka.... Hilang stress, hilang tension, hilang mengantuk di kala tengahari yg panas terik... hahahahaa.... Pincushion & Biscornu yg sgt2 comel gitu.. geram je aku tengok.. rasa mcm nak picit2 je bagi penyek.. cute tau!

Crossstitched card, Cross Stitch & Needlework Magazine Issue March 2010, 2 kits, 3 packet beads, bling2 (actually aku x tau nak panggil apa, tapi yg org dok lekat kat tudung, baju kurung tu), frame, cord, Tupperware Keychain & Round Tupperware

Kalo korang tak percaya, tengok la betapa comelnya pincushion & biscornu yang K.Nisa buat ni. Combined dua2 dlm 1 tapak tangan aku jer... Kalo x silap aku, pincushion tu K.Nisa guna 18ct & biscornu tu lak 16ct. Betul tak K.Nisa? Harap betulkan kalau saya salah yeee...

Tupperware ni lak dah ada penghuni dah.. hehehehee.. aku simpan koleksi Mill Hill Beads aku. Sorry ler kalo nak letak gulai ayam ke.. kari daging ke... atau paling teruk cili giling ke... sayang taw... Tupperware ni saiz medium and comel gak....

Nota kaki : K.Nisa, thanks sebab sudi exchanged sama saya... & thanks jugak dgn stashes yang K.Nisa bagi. Saya sgt2 suka. Tak sabar nak tunggu next exchange *wink*...

NNC Bookmark Exchange 2010

2010-04-28T22:15:00.004+08:00

Last February I signed on for Bookmark Exchange organized by Zarina. Then we have to wait until 23 April 2010 (World Book Day) to "unwrap" our bookmark parcel. This round my parner was Ann from Italy. She's a Malaysian and currently living there. We were only required to make 2 bookmarks of differents crafts.

Bookmarks for Ann. I sent a small stashes too - A Chinese crochet book and 2 stick-it pads. Unfortunately Ann can't read Chinese.. LOL.. I don't have any idea how she want to deciper the instructions!

Bookmarks received from Paul. Thank you sooo much Paul. I really loved the quotes and the embroidery bookmark you made (maybe I should try to stitch the Rhodes Heart too, never try it before)

3rd NNC Anniversary Meet & Exchanges

2010-04-07T20:30:00.005+08:00

1st of all, sorry for MIA for a while.. anyone missed me?? After our 3rd Anniversary Meet, I was too lazy to do anything including cross-stitching. Actually at this moment i'm still not in mood to update my blog. So, here's just a few photo from the Anniversary Meet that was held at Sabariah's house @ Setia Alam, Selangor. For full story, you can read from Nik's blog.

My door gift contribution - Ribbons

Door gifts - Felts (MW), Bookmark (Nik), Bias tape & buttons (Zai), Paper stamped (Usha), HDT (Zarina), FQ (Janet), Hand-dyed floss (Diane, USA), Ceramic Rose Cup (Rose), Button set (Mel), hand made Japanese clay ornament (Valarie), Tupperware fridge magnet (Sabariah)

- Thanks everyone

Goodie bag for Afiqah

Goodie Bag for Haiqal

Lucky Draw - Sabariah received mine ~ Simple drawstring with Eifal Tower (crossstitched - from Blackbird Design) and a compulsory felt flower (i made into hair barrette)

Co-incidentally, i received Sabariah's gift - a big 'kekabu' pillow with crocheted cover and compulsory felt flower too

I also managed to complete my exchanges. Even though its not comes to the dateline yet, i used this opportunity to send out my exchange, so i don't have to mail it out.

Pincushion Exchange - Once again MW became my exchange partner. The theme for this exhange is Blue. So for the safe side, i made everything in blue

Even the 3 compulsory stashes also in blue including the box.. LOL!

Bookmark Exchange received from Paul. What a surprised! But unfortunately i /we can't open it until International Book Day on 23 April 2010. Another waiting in pain *sigh*

Spring SAL ~ Completed

2010-03-16T08:56:00.003+08:00

Akhirnya siap jugak kannn... mlm tadi dah siap jahit dah. Sampai sakit2 la belakang badan aku nih. Baring jap, alih2 tertidur.. hahahahaaa... So pagi ni je la aku update. Lega rasanya dah siap, boleh la aku rehat jap. Betulkan balik tulang belakang yg rasanya mcm nak patah ni.. heheheheee..

Utk semua SAL Sisters, see you guys in "Summer".....

Tgh tunggu kering..

Spring SAL ~ Update08

2010-03-07T23:59:00.003+08:00

Minta maaf la sebab lambat update. Bukan lambat sikit ni.. lambat sgt2 dah ni. Another 1 week nak nak update lagi... panjang ceritanya ye kawan2. Secara ringkasnya (kronologi la ni):

26-28 Feb : Cuti2 Malaysia - pegi cuti sakan kat Bukit Merah Laketown Resort
28 Feb (petang) : sampai umah, sempat cek email ngan tengok Biscornu K.Nisa. Off notebook jap sbb nak mengemas.. Bila nak on balik, dah BLACKOUT!!! uwaaaaa.... merajuk kot tak bawak sekali pegi holiday.....

Kesimpulannya notebook haku sakit dan perlu rawatan selanjutnya.. Tensen tahap gaban okkk....... kalo sehari dua takpe, dekat ngan seminggu.. huhuhuhuuhuu.. Nasib baik MrHubby boleh repair, selamat poket aku... abis notebook aku kena format balik. Satu hal lak nak install balik software2 yg biasa aku guna. Dan nasib baik gak sebelum pegi holiday aku dah buat back-up semua fail2 aku. Kalo tak mau aku meroyan tau!!...

Gambar ni aku amik on the day yg sepatutnya aku update SAL dan aku belum ada mood nak snap gambar latest. Ada la progress masa menunggu notebook aku dibaikpulih. Since next week je nak update SAL, so tunggu je la ekkk...

nota kaki : thanks K.Nisa sbb memahami adikmu ini......

Valentine Exchange 2010

2010-02-16T13:16:00.003+08:00

Actually i received my VE from my secret partner long time ago, on 23rd January if i'm not mistaken. But our organizer, MW only allowed us to open our exchange gift on 14th Feb. So, to avoid myself peeking my gift, i hid it somewhere under my table.. LOL

My secret partnet was Usha from Klang, Selangor. Thanks so much Usha for the lovely card, crocheted heart shape coasters + crocheted flower paperclips. Opsss.. Usha gave me additional stashes too - a long ric-rac ribbon and flower beads.

And these are my VE to Maria in Portugal - a Valentine card (crossstitched on front) + an ornament (crossstitched too)+ tissue pouch + rose. I also add a fridge magnet and 2 postcards of Malaysia. Hopefully Maria will like everything i send to her..

Spring SAL ~ Update07

2010-02-16T13:07:00.002+08:00

Sorry semua sbb lambat update.. Biasa la, cuti panjang, langkah pun panjang jugak.. hahahahaa.. xde la pegi mana2 pon. Bawak putera & puteri beta ni g jenjalan. Kesian asyik dok kat umah je..

So ni je la yg sempat buat. My life agak huru-hara + kacau bilau kebelakangan ni. Tak banyak yg dpt jahit. Hopefully semua akan ok balik. Aku tau K.Nisa dah siap SAL dia. Takyah g jenguk blog dia pon aku dah tau.. hehehheee.. actually K.Nisa ada sms aku beritau dia tinggal jahit awan je lagik.. saja je nak bg aku jelessss... aku ni jgnkan awan, pokok pon belum abes tanam lagik.. huhuuhuuu...

Spring SAL ~ Update06 & Oriental Splendor SAL01

2010-01-30T23:10:00.003+08:00

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

2010-01-25T23:22:00.004+08:00

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

2010-01-25T23:08:00.002+08:00

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!!

2010-01-20T11:58:00.004+08:00

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

2010-01-15T20:44:00.002+08:00

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

2010-01-11T22:40:00.005+08:00

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....

2010-01-10T23:09:00.004+08:00

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

2010-01-07T23:18:00.008+08:00

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

2010-01-06T22:52:00.002+08:00

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

2009-12-30T00:02:00.004+08:00

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

2009-12-17T13:10:00.002+08:00

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.

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

2009-11-30T21:17:00.005+08:00

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

2009-11-30T17:03:00.004+08:00

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

2009-11-25T09:40:00.006+08:00

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

2009-11-24T10:15:00.004+08:00

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

2009-11-16T14:41:00.004+08:00

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

2009-11-14T19:54:00.003+08:00

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

2009-11-11T09:46:00.008+08:00

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!!

First time aku melibatkan diri dgn Stitch ALong aka SAL ni. Buat masa ni just aku ngan K.Shima je. AKu sesaje je gatai tanya dia nak menjahit pattern sama2 tak.. Alih2 K.Shima setuju lak.. lalalalalaaa... seronoknya, ada gak geng nak menjahit Kitorang dah setuju nak jahit patten ni - Spring. Actually aku pon tak tau title design ni. Design ni dari China, so aku bagi je la title ikut sukati aku... LOL. Janji buleh jahit.... Buat masa ni, xde dateline. Kitorang dah agreed, sapa habis jahit dulu kena tunggu sampai sorang lagi abes baru buat pattern yg kedua lak - Summer. Agak2 boleh ke jahit all 4? Berangan abes kitorang ni wehhhh!!!

Anyway, sapa2 nak join SAL ni amat2 la kami alu2kan. So far xde rules & regulations. Just for fun only... Just inform kitorang kat ruang komen - sapa nama, dari mana & jgn lupa blog anda sekali taw! Tapi kalo ramai yg nak join, kena ada dateline kot? Kang jenuh lak nak tunggu sumer member abes jahit baru buleh proceed next pattern...

Oh ya.. lagi satu, kitorang kena update kat blog WIP memasing.. bagi semangat kat each other supaya cepat siap.. ada 3 pattern lagi sedang menunggu....

Ni syarat aku curik dari blog K.Shima (baru je.. heheheheheee)

1. suci hati supaya tak stress
2. suka hati bila nak siap
3. senang hati take your time
4. kena check dgn alynn... alynn ada nak tambah tak? ~ akan ditambah dr masa ke semasa (biasanya idea mari masa tgh stitching)

So ada sapa2 nak join : Yati, K.Salmi, K.Azie, Cik Faihah dan sapo2 la yg nak join...

Go go go... ole ole ole.. (curik lagi... muahahaha)

How Come, How Long - Babyface feat Stevie Wonder

2009-07-23T18:54:00.010+08:00

Just want to share one of my favourite song with all of you.. I really love this song... Hope you guys enjoy watching the video clip *smile*

Here's the lyric...

There was a girl I used to know
She was oh so beautiful
But she's not here anymore
She had a college degree
Smart as anyone could be
She had so much to live for
But she fell in love
With the wrong kinda man
He abused her love and treated her so bad
There was not enough education in her world
That could save the life of this little girl

How come, how long
It's not right, it's so wrong
Do we let it just go on
Turn our backs and carry on
Wake up, for it's too late
Right now, we can't wait
She won't have a second try
Open up your hearts
As well as your eyes

She tried to give a cry for help
She even blamed things on herself
But no one came to her aid
Nothing was wrong as far as we could tell
That's what we'd like to tell ourselves
But no, it wasn't that way
So she fell in love
With the wrong kinda man
And she paid with her life
For loving that man
So we cannot ignore
We must look for the signs
And maybe next time
We might save somebody's life

I on occasion met that guy
He stirred up bad feelings deep inside
Something about him wasn't right
The way he proves himself a man
By beatin' his woman with his hands
Oh I wish she'd seen the light
How can someone like that
Call himself a man
In reality he's far more less than that
And we cannot ignore
Whenever we see the signs
'Cause any kinda of abuse
God knows isn't right

Doughnut Pincushion

2009-07-13T21:37:00.003+08:00

Pincushion yg aku buat kali ni special sikit... This time aku guna evenweave fabric and overdye floss yg MW bagi. Floss ni lebih kurang mcm DMC Variegated. So a bit easy to stitch but cannot wash because its not colorfast. Hubby yg bg nama "Doughnut Pincushion" sbb mmg mcm donut pun, tapi xleh makan je *grin*

Needlebook Exchange

2009-07-08T00:06:00.003+08:00

NNC Needlebook Exchange organized by MW and she was my secret partner... and it makes me verryyy nervous.. I didn't know which design should I stitched for her and finally I decided to stitch Fairies Alphabet.. It just a simple design - just a letter 'M' & 'W'. I made a small changed on my stitching - I stitched beads on the fairy's headband instead of cross-stitch. Look nice huh?...

And this how MW's needlebook look like..... I sent out last week and I really glad that she love it.

Sewing Set ~ Rose

2009-01-07T10:48:00.007+08:00

Aku start buat sewing set ni mlm New Year ari tu. Tak sempat nak snap beginning dia. Tetiba jer terasa nak buat. 1 week gak nak menyiapkannyer. Tu pun sebab aku, hubby n anak2 aku kena demam, batuk n selsema. 2 hari aku terbaring jer. Hubby aku sampai surrender. Terus amik MC. Kalo tak aku rasa 2-3 hari dah siap dah set ni..

Buku Sam Hawkins dah lama aku cari. At last dpt gak... yahoooo...
Ni pulak buku2 crossstitch dari Japan.. Berpinar gak mata nak mencari. Tak paham apa dia tulis. Kena amik n tengok front page 1-1. Nak harap tulisan kat tepi kulit buku tu, mmg haram aku tak paham....
