hexy sewing caddy...

i fell in love with this project since ...

but my thumbs still hurt ... hold on must do it ...but when????

thought that i can hold on ... and wait ... but i can't wait any longer

especially after seeing Diah's lovely sewing caddy ...

must do it ... and just finished it !

here's my sewing caddy :)

hope i will be able to make a nicer sewing caddy next time ...

thanks Penny for such a lovely idea and great tutorial ... TQ

package from penang...

i was excited when MakOnem called me saying that she's in a shop the fulls with beautiful things ... colourful felts and trimmings .... so i asked her to buy and sent it to me ... these are the package i received .... beautiful colours ..thanks Makonem !





so i decided to make these .....
a spring hat pincushions

local beauty...mangosteen

wow..this craze really hit me bad...when Makonem suggested "mangosteen"... i really feel i should take the challenge...it was sleepless nite for me..thinking i must make it ....MUST...and i did..

after finished my 'suppose to do' this morning while waiting for my love hubby to come home...(actually we are sending Aliff back to Malacca...purgh, i'm missing my babies like crazy....!!!)
i took out my purple felt...whatelse....cut...sew and filled...and for all i know this is the result .... our local beauty .....miss mangosteen... sedap nya lama tak makan!



the making...actually i'm using the same technique as making the crunchy apples ... and added the top petals (sorry i don't really know what it call..)
well..i love to see the outcome but tell me what you think of it....does it look like a mangosteen or else...???? and now i'm thinking whether i'll be able making it as...half mangosteen which i think it would be lovely combinations ....purple and white ....????

many did know i'm into rubic cube also...as can be seen in the photo ...that's my loyal past time friend beside sewing....the bestest time i ever made was 1 minute and 40 seconds...not bad aaah?? now both Aliff and Azeem are master in it....i would really love to put my hands on 4 x 4 rubic cube...but not now ...later i will !!!

it's crunchy 2...

well..i guess i just can't help it...need to take a break from my final stage mega-project (another 14 pieces to go.....)

after making those crunchy apples...i went and bought a few more meters of felt...crazy me...this time ... few colours ...

i decided to make another crunchy apple ...a crunchy red apple as a gift to my very dear quilter friend and neighbour Oli Tuang ....

and another green crunchy apple for my sis in-law Liza

thinking of making some other things but i have to stop myself from doing it....stop...stop in the of love!!!



good news..i'm gonna get another cucu..expecting a girl ...again?????just can't wait....hoorey

it's crunchy...

i'll be off from blogging for this weekend...well, we are going to Cherating for WCM Family Day 2009...i was half-half actually b-coz my two elders are not going...big boys already huh?!

well...really hope that i'll be able to enjoy myself....under the sun... sea-breeze ... waves ... sands ... Azeem and Adam ... my love hubby .......and Aliff and Aiqal at home ...purghhhh!

so before i leave...i made these...as my weekend project...

again i asked my not so cheap labour to do another task...cutting the fibre...so that i'll be able to make myself these apples...i saw these apples in livingcreatively.com.au yesterday ...and fell in love with it...lady luck was on myside ...Linda called and asked me whether i would like to go to SS19 with her....for sure...mengantuk di sorong bantal....!!!

but there ...they didn't have what i'm looking for...so we decided to stop at normal sewing shop...i jumped for joy when i saw what i'm looking for...apple green felt....!!!!

here's my crunchy green apples...yummmmmy!

btw..Liza.. i up-graded my needle case...hehehe

....HAPPY HOLIDAYS ...

simply the best especially my MIL's cooking....fingers licking good!!

well as usual..while we were there...me and my nieces (Jasmin and Ariessya) found a lovely project to make....Spring Chick pin-cushion from the latest BHG CC spring 2009...

Jasmin has put her effort in making this chicks...from tracing the templates...cutting...sewing ...and stuffing the chicks....then the group became bigger when...Linda came over to see our progress ...then came A.Ani joining the crowd.....by the end of the day....we make 6 chicks ....

but...my evening does not end there....then came my sis in-law Liza... pestering to make another pin-cushion...still the same magazine as a reference ...she wanted to sew a sweet pin-cushion Sweet Slice...so my weekend end up with these lovely pin-cushions... pink spring chicks, brown sweet slice, bright red xegon and lovely pink square (which i make earlier)....what a day..!
