Blooming Daffodils

Salaams and Hello to all my friends and readers

Another small project of Satin Ribbon Embroidery which should takes short time to complete but I had prolonged it because I had to ripped the ribbon few times and re-do until getting the result that I want. Choosing a ribbon color is another dilemma. Sometimes, we might not get the color that we want and have to be satisfied with the offerings by the crafts shop.


I had adapted the design by Helen Eriksson where you can find it from A-Z Ribbon Embroidery book and Ribbon Rennaissance. Each book shows a different technique in making this flower and I tried both :-)


Overall, I am satisfied and happy working on this project. Flowers can makes someone smile and it makes me smile too..*wink*. Take care and enjoy your holiday!..XOXO

Royal baroque

As my promised to lovely yatt and chempaqa dearie, my personal collection - royal baroque by noritake which is now already discontinued its production. Many thanks to my niece dearie who had gone through all the troubles to bring back this set from Manila for me..muahss..

Pemegang dia semua shape ala nak siku orang jer ..set ini untuk 8 orang tapi saiz teapot tu cam tak cukup nak isi air untuk lapan cawan. Nak beli satu lagi..tercekik la pulak tengok price kat sini..lagi pun noritake kat sini tak jual secara berasingan. Platter tu quite big and comes in 2 pieces.

Sugar bowl, milk jug and gravy boat with small platter.

Soup plate and yang kecik tu tatau apa nama and purpose dia..letak sambal kot.

Dinner plate, side plate and bread/butter plate

Last but not least, the tureen with medium size cam tuk 4 orang makan jer besar dia. All together the dinner set ada 95 pcs.

Have a nice day everyone and thanks for looking.

Missy Laura Enamel

Salaam and Happy Holidays !

Just my luck, I had accidentally bump into this beautiful pieces *wink*. The first blue and white enamel jug was bought during the Laura Ashley sales at Metrojaya Midvalley. The item was discounted at 70% off and its sangat berbaloi-baloi..*smile*

This enamel with butterfly embossed motif, bought from a lovely lady that sell mostly english decoration items at the level one, amcorp mall flea market during blogger gathering last Sunday. The price tag is simply too good to be ignored !.

Topiary Cushion

Salaam Semua :-)

Fabrik motif topiary yang popular nie dah lama me beli dari Hazdi, bila rasa nak jahit me keluarkan lepas tu simpan balik. Bila mood malas datang hinggap..rasa mcm nak tempah jer. Masa me belek2 sample yang sedia ada tu (gambar bawah - sebelah kiri) rasa macam tak susah sangat nak jahit, erm pikir2 boleh tak jahit part zip tu..ngan piping keliling kusyen tu lagi..dah la me basic langsung tadek..kelas jahit beg kat Quilt Gallery tu pun me tak abiskan sejak enrol pada bulan march lepas..payah betul nak allocate masa sebab tanggungjawab dengan kerja dan keluarga yang wajib didahulukan.

Sempena cuti hujung minggu yang agak panjang, me pun menggigihkan la diri potong kain dulu..sambil memotong sambil tengok tv kan, sudahnya part yang depan tu jadi melintang pulak. DD bertiga tu sibuk tanya, "Ibu nak siapkan hari nie jugak ker?"..sabar jer la ngan statement tu..sbbnya dorang memang dah leh agak yang me takkan siapkan on the same day..mesti lepas potong2 tu simpan balik..hehehe..
sssssss

Sudahnya, siap jugak la hari tu sepasang tanpa piping keliling dan berjaya jugak me menjahit zip ..walaupun tak berapa kemas macam sarung kusen yang asal dan gelembung sana sini sikit sebab bentuk kusyen yang berlekuk dan berkorner membuatkan me adakalanya terbabas.., janji boleh sarung dan adalah rupa kusyen kan..kan..kan?..hahahaha…I am happy!..

ssss

Selamat menyambut awal muharam, moga kita semua diberikan rezeki, kebahagian dan kesihatan dalam keberkatan dan rahmat Allah s.w.t. Amin.

Fleur ~ de ~ Paris

Bonjour! comment allez-vous (Hello! How are you?*smile*)..amboi, sejak stitching chart with the essence of Paris, tershashul cakap french pulok..ahaks.. Wahhh feel so lazy to update blog lately..I have relish hibenating like a polar bear *ggrrr*. Fleur de Paris is my latest wip. It is a kit by dimensions that came with coloured chart, aida fabric, cotton threads and needle. It is a standard checklist that usually comes in a kit.

If you happen want to purchase a cross stitch kit, do check these items availability. One more thing, nowadays in ebay there are many charts are made in china ~ please be aware on the fabric and thread quality plus chart originality. Credits to my BFF (luv you kak reen) who had introduced this chart to me..I am in love at the first sigh (ermm semanjang tengok online chart camtu *wink*). I love the varieties in this chart which harmonizes perfectly ** que c’est beau**

I had substituted the Aida fabric with 16ct autumn vintage linen for a more dramatic shabby chic background and using the cotton thread by dimensions. No worries if you are out of thread as you can always ask for additional thread by sending email to dimensions and they will mail it to you - free of charge.

Next, sitting on top of my priority list -- that need to be completed in two weeks time (mesti..). I have planned to personally deliver the chart to a special friend that I had kept her waiting for so long – very bad of me *sigh*. So sorry dear!

Last but not least, nak tayang..ehhhh..share la..my 2 ketul collection wall hanging tapestry. Satu me hang kat living room satu lagi kat master bedroom. Sometimes, untuk kelainan me tukar2 kedudukan dia untuk pemandangan dan mood yang berbeza.

Have a wonderful weekend and holidays. Take Care and XOXO. May God bless all of you.

Cuppies for my thumb

Hello and salaams to all my blog readers

I have been very busy lately. Cluttered papers is fighting for space on my desk and I just don't know when and where to start...hehehehe..my time management is very poor now because I am too tired to get organized *wink*. Doing my work at two different places requires frequent and long traveling time. We are now in December *blink..blink* and that mean I am left with 30 days before the New Year comes, to clear my desk and finished all pending task so that I can start a New Year - fresh.

Alhamdulillah, our company will be 10 years in January 2010. I still remember when we have to struggle during the inception of the business. We have to be very prudent as our source of capital is 100% self financing. It is difficult to convince a local bank to finance large amount of capital for a new ICT business model due to difficulty for them to evaluate the viability of the project without existing reference locally.

We are only a small company with few number of staff and it is meaningful to me when we able to provide employment eventhough only for a few people and they have been with us till present - thanks to my employee. My pray and hope, our company will be able to survive under the current rough economy and continue to expand and financially stable. Insyallah



Thanks to wanie, her lovely felt cup cakes is a solution that I can think of to keep my thumb drive for easy finding. Talked about innovation, I wish somebody can invent a chip that can be attached to this thumbdrive holder so that I can paging it via my handphone for easy searching..*LOL*

Till next entry, have a beautiful day ahead and take care.
