Mission continued ;)

Semalam misi menghabiskan kain continued. Well I only started at 6pm since Encik Suami ajak berjalan2 ke Puchong hobinya towards toys with remote control thingy. On the way balik, singgah Tesco Shah Alam beli ration for traveling esok and take-away lunch (rajin sgt kan memasak :) ). Lepas makan nak rest plak tu yg projek mula lambat :).

So apa plak projeknya, you may ask ( as if ramai la yg baca ). Xder grand pun but I have been stalling on it for months. So I decided to finished it pronto and cross it out of my mental-to-list ( kak LG you are my inspiration he..he..)

1st project for today - cover for throw pillows. If you look at it, you won't see that the color is light green, too light it looks like white. Cover ni main potong betul2 ikut saiz bantal tu. don't ask what kind of kain is that he..he..All I know it is really...really... soft gitu.




It took me almost 1 hour to finish it while tend to many question and request from my puteri. This is my first attempt on slip cover, so glad it turn out right. Now I can buy more throw pillow and make customized cover for it ( ye lah tu, bila la pulak nak siap ya :) ).

Well, the second project is to jahitkan angry bird theme blanket for my puteri. Kain ni dh tersimpan since last March. Punya lah lama kan. Apa nak buat, Ibu if nak menjahit ni kena ader mood ( alasan ;) ).

Cik puteri berposing dgn new blanket.




Saiz nyer around 3ft x 3.5 ft approx. this is her second blanket I make for her. The printed material is cotton but not sure about the back one. It kind of material macam gebar.

Third project is to cover the Barney bolster, which I would not dare to show you the before condition, span dh kuar2 since only one layer of fabrics were used by the manufacturer.

The after look...



As you can see, I used a leftovers fabric for the blanket. This is also my 1st attempt and it look ok. I use a leftover ribbon I found during my spring cleaning, to be the tail to tie on the top side. I have found the technique to attach the round cut for the bottom in YouTube. It look easy and it is easy.

Another productive day indeed...

Aktiviti cuti panjang

Ha..minggu ni cuti panjang sebab ofis tutup sempuna Diwali dan Awal Muharram. So dari minggu lepas Ibu dah buat plan mcm mana nk jadikan cuti ni productive :).
Ni dia to do list:
1- Kemas bilik belakang, sambung operasi spring cleaning last 2 weeks.
2- Organize barang2 yg still survive after spring cleaning.
3- Bercucuk tanam.
Setakat ni, still kat no 1 and 2 sbb, in order nak buat task 1 and 2, kena decide what can I do with kain2 lebih yang penuh 2 kotak paper A4. Jadikan, sebab tu lah yang no 3 tu masih x dapat dibuat lagi.
So, Monday, pack benda2 yang berjaya ke peringkat akhir spring cleaning, sbb even ari tu dh buat berplastik2 bag sampah yang besar tu (8 to b exact), still on Monday I managed to throw another 1 bag :). Punya lah banyak sampah. Tuesday plak sort stok kain2 sambil buat mini pie sardin for tea. Pagi tu brunch terus so tu pasal tea kena yang berat2 sikit. Najwa ate 7 mini pie. Lapar sungguh dia :).
Anyway, today start project menjahit. Semalam dah siap asing-asingkan kain untuk project ari ni. So as at this moment, I dah siap re-upholster my dining table chair. Ader lebih kain langsir for my bedroom hari tu, baik la digunakan jer kan :).
So inilah hasilnya, jeng..jeng..jeng..
You may notice ader dua kerusi yang lain covernyer. Yang merah tu lebih kain lagsir my room. Yang pink tu untuk my daughter and yang lagi satu tu for my sewing chair.




Close-up kerusi Najwa, guna lebihan langsir bilik dia




Ni plak guna lebihan kain sarung cushion last two years.




Productive gak kan :)

Ros Jepun ke Lidah Cicak?

Ha, nilah 1st tanaman yg menjadi walaupun hampir2 nak kiok. Nasib baik dpt diselamatkan lepas di letak kat luar and bagi baja cukup2. Yang ni dapat my auntie Uda.




Yang sebelah x berbunga lg beli kat nursery. Pada masa post ni ditulis, dh berbunga mix of pink, white and shocking pink ( or maybe shocking purple)




Ni pulak hari tu terpatah, hidup pulak dia. Sekarang ni dah berbunga merah pun. Pokok yg sebelah tu lak, pun terpatah, saje jer cucuk, x sangka sekarang ni dh nak berbunga, tp xtau apa warnanya.




Dapat sikit info ni masa buat research, tp x ingat lak namanyer. Ikut kan ni
Pokok Bunga Ros Jepun yang nama saintifiknya Portulaca grandiflora merupakan tanaman jenis menjalar,amat mudah dibiakkan melalui keratan dan biji benih benih.Pokok ini memang sesuai ditanam di kawasan yang menerima cahaya matahari penuh. Bunganya biasanya mekar atau berkembang pada waktu pagi dan kuncup di sebelah petang. Terdapat pelbagai warna bunga yang terdiri dari merah, putih, kuning, unggu, merah jambu, dan jingga. Dari segi khasiat perubatan, daunnya dipercayai boleh digunakan bagi merawat luka ringan iaitu dengan menampal daun yang dilumatkan pada bahagian yang luka.

Sekian kelas pertanian kita hari ini yer :).

Najwa is 6 !

This post actually meant to be posted on Nov 2 2012 but since ibu I rajin sgt maka ditunda sampai ari ni ;) . Well, takpe la kan better late than never ( alasan :) )

So Najwa requested to have cake Barbie for her birthday since early this year. Makanya, si Ibu ni, dengan beraninya mencuba la buat sendiri dengan bakat yg x berapa ader :). Selepas membuat research kat YouTube, thanx to Howdini.com, si Ibu ni pun membuat plan mcm mana nak mulakan project ni. So layan jer gambar kat bawah ni proses membuat kek Barbie dn juga isi goodie bag yg dibuat sendiri semuanya oleh Si Ibu :) . B advised, for those who knew me, this is definitely a berani mati attempt since si Ibu mmg xder berapa nk ader bab2 kreatif ni.

Base kek Barbie, Choc Moist.



Ni pulak selepas dibalut dengan fondant. X guna real Barbie pun



Stage kedua menghias dengan buttercream icing, guna star tip
