k is for kettle...

i made this wall-hanging for my little kitchen for quite sometimes ago but still can't decide where to hang ...

and there's a nice story behind this simple wall-hanging which i would love to share with ...

... i was summoned by my sis in-law to make a gift for Perkhemahan Pandu Puteri di Rompin closing ceremony and the receiver
was none other than our KDYTM Tengku Puan Besar Pahang Tunku Azizah .... i was honoured ... thanks !!!

my SIL wanted something that close to KDYTM Tengku Puan ... as all of us knew that Tengku Puan Besar loves cooking and good in crafting ... so i told my sister "let's make wall-hanging..." and so i did.... too bad i don't have the photo of it...

.... i made the wall-hanging ..then i sent it to my adik in Kuantan to have it framed ...then my brother took it back to Rompin a week before the event ...and my sis in-law forgot to snap a photo of the 100% finished wall-hanging .... :(


every now and then when i saw mine...i do hope that the wall-hanging has find a nice place somewhere in royal's kitchen wall ... ;)


i made myself a 90% replica of it ..as i never like making a same thing twice ... so mine is bigger
...no framing...no dollies ... just a simple wall-hanging to remember the event ...!


p/s : thanks to my SIL Liza for printing the pattern for me....

weekend projects...boxes n purse...

well.. .it's a quiet Saturday evening for me...my love hubby took Azeem and Adam to Bangi for soccer game and Aliff was out with his friends... and i was left home alone ...

at first ..thought of joining them but i really need to finish making the boxes ... and glad that i decided to stay... now the boxes are done ... next step , wrapping it which i feel it's easier than making it ....really hope i can finish it by next weekend !!


while waiting for the glue (using contact glue) to dry and ease away my backache ... i found a sweet and cute project to do... it was a felt purse which i saw and learnt from http://paper-and-string.blogspot.com
the purse was so sweet ... so i decided to make one as the tutorial looks so easy to follow...and really happy with what i made ... thank you !

here's my sweet felt purse ...

today , i'm glad that i'm home alone ... with 20 finished boxes and a cute felt purse ... who wouldn't ?

p/s : now am thinking of making felt cases for shades and phone ....

my bags...vi

it was a sleepless nite for me last night... just don't know why...
thought of finishing this bag last nite...since i can't sleep but suddenly...i don't think it was a good idea... :)

another bag for me but.... what is it for ????
firstly... i thought of making it for my cute mini HP... then ... maybe it's for my telekung... but until now ... still undecided !!


actually , it was my first attempt making this design ... which i think it was quite tricky especially the top curved part and putting the zipper ... purghh! i really bad in putting zipper.... help!!!!

but for now... i guess , i'm happy with it ...yesssss!
