One Of My Weaknesses In Life

.... is quilt binding

Ever since I started learning to quilt, it has been one thing that I always drag to do.

If some of you may recollect, I even had the heart to make those big quilts while forgetting how lousy I am at binding. I tell you those quilts are still lying somewhere in my house .. unfinished !

so tonight I was determined to face my weakness by making a small quilt

But the thing is I have another weakness too which is bad when one wants to quit:-

lack of patience

I m still struggling in that department

tak adanya orang dalam dunia ni bind mcm ni

kalau benang pun berserabut .. apa lagi jiwa I kan ....

I was so engrossed that I became lost in my own world and in time. Its almost 1.30 am and I still couldnt finish it. I finally gave up for the night and decided I should try again tomorrow and really study and get some guidance and help from the net.

so sesapa yang ada niat nak upah I menjahit atau buat apa2 untuknya

fikirlah beribu-ribu lemon kali

:-)

I ll keep you updated insyaAllah on this small project

I know if I can ever do this, insyaAllah, I am sure I can do more !!!

Its just a matter of time and patience

cewahhhh

hahahaha

Favourite Cushion Covers

Its been some times since I last made a "proper" cushion cover. The strawberry fabric was purchased last two years, I never knew what to do with it until today when I decided to make cushion cover out of it. The other small flower print was bought just recently.

For the first time I felt so satisfied with the outcome of these.

Its not quilted, simple design and they turned out just lovely in my eyes

Maybe because I used the same fabric for the backing

:-)

and perhaps the fabrics themselves are just so sweet

that they speak for themselves

Orang Yang Demam Perlukan Kasih Sayang Dan Majalah Yang Cantik Walaupun Tak Faham Majalah Itu Yang Berbahasa Thai

Saya jumpa edisi pertama majalah ini pada tahun lepas sewaktu berkunjung ke Thailand. Cakap macam melancong gitu padahal naik kereta tak sampai 30 minit dah ada kat pekan Siam tu, Danok. Benarlah cinta itu buta. Biarlah tak faham sepatah habuk pun tak mengapa asal sedap mata memandang melihat gambar2 di dalamnya. Maka sejak dari itu, bila ke Danok saja mesti cari majalah ini.

Saya suka majalah ini kerana ia memaparkan cara hias rumah yang simple mudah dan cantik. Bila kita lihat gambar-gambar di dalamnya kita seperti terasa:-

"ehh aku mampu buat mcm ni"

"Ehhh boleh ja aku amik lemari Tok cat kasi cantik dan letak kat bilik"

"Simplenyaaaa ...."

hiasan yang cantik menggunakan gabungan modern dan asli

kalau tak silap ini hiasan untuk kedai makan

i just love the bamboo fence !

Kebanyakan gambar yang diambil adalah dari rumah orang biasa yang berseni

yang bestnya rumah kampung pun dihias cantik rasa mcm sukaaanyaaaa

kalau rumah modern pun masih tetap sedap mata melihat dekorasinya

ni rumah crafter nih

tengok sempoi jaaa kan tapi cantik sangat

almari kain pun mesti rembat nenek kat kampung dia punya kan

ada juga resepi di dalam majalah ni

kadang rasa mcm nak ikut

tapi tak pasti daging apa dia pakai

(piiirahhh nak ikut resepi konon, macam paham kannn )

hahaha

kadang ada juga dia ajar cara2 nak cat atau bertukang

tengok rumah kampung ni

rasa mcm nak balik kampung suruh nenek cat rumah dia mcm ni kan...

Bukan selalu saya ke sempadan, rindu selalu mebuak2 pada majalah ini. Minggu lepas jumpa kat online dan saya pun tanpa berlengah masa terus ja order, ada yang dah out of stock. Hari Selasa baru ni terus dapat, sampai saya terlompat-lompat ....

Bukan tak suka majalah hiasan rumah kat Malaysia, tapi kadang rasa bila buka baca, eshhh mcm hiasan perabut tu semua untuk orang2 kaya berduit saja .... tak adanya nak jumpa gambar bilik tidur sempoi mcm kat bawah ni kat dalam majalah dekorasi Malaysia...

cozy gilaaa kan

sweet !

Sekian dari saya yang

memblog dari atas katil

Pelari Meja Melari Menari Ria

semua orang buat pelari meja 

Tinihani la, Mila la

bila tengok saja pelari meja depa

saya pun terus berlari 

cari kain-kain yang dah terperca

susun susun kain

kemudian berlari ke meja

menari-nari dengan jarum dan benang

menjahit sampai petang

(tipu, bukan sampai petang pun, tapi saja nak kasi ryhme dengan benang)

lari sana sini konon
tak kurus2 pun

hahaha

What I ve Been Up To

After more than a week of my photo with Popo in my last entry I better put up something new. Raya was fine Alhamdulillah. My grandmother , my dear Tok, has not been well for the past few months now and we've been taking turns to look after her

If you must know I have moved into my present house for more than 5 years already, and I have never bothered to add anything to the bare porch. My father just complained to me recently that he had no place to sit outside my house to read the newspaper. So ....... when I saw the swing in Changloon the other day with my sister, she insisted (yes she did) me to buy it. Its not like one of those elegant expensive looking swings in "Laman". I bought this for only RM450 and I have to say it myself, I just love it. Its so me ! So, to celebrate the new swing, I burned the midnight oil making the bunting ! hahaha ... "ghayan" kata orang Kedah ! 

And here are a few other things I made .... which include some I ve shown before in this blog

Coasters from the linen purchased eons ago

painted the stones too and turned them ugly

saw those polka dots fabrics at Nagoya and made a simple mat

blue and green on each side

 my sister saw the fabric at Nilai, mms me

and I asked her to get me a few meters

the new table cloth brings cheerful mood to my kitchen

I hope your Raya has been wonderful too 

.... dah puasa nam ?

hahaha

saya pun belum

:-D
