Bookmark Exchange

At last the suspence is over... the mystery is solved....and all the questions answered...
My secret partner is who else but our dear Adik Manis,Musliha....
This afternoon when i went to the Post Office to collect my parcel, when the post worker was flipping thro' the bundle of registered items, i spotted my parcel right away .... i recognised Mus's neat handwriting.... what a nice surprise...
Ok...without further ado...lets us enjoy the view....

This is her beautifully stitched bookmark.... it is soooo... beautiful in my eyes...i keep staring at it all the way to my lil girl's school.... muahs... thank you very much Mus...

And with that, she gave me this cute crocheted cupcake...cik gumi2...alahai memang comel sesangat....
Then, there is a set of needles... hmmm very2 useful....
And a ball of white tatting thread... well, i really like this thread... i want to try crochet a doily from it... huhu... talking about big dream........

And here is the back view of the bookmark... see the fabric she used for backing?.... she remembers.... that is a pumpkin pincushion she gave not long ago...and i have actually made a very good use of that 'labu'...hehehe.


Thank very very much Mus for all goodies and pumpkin too...

Ps: oh ya...my DH said the bookmark is awesome....shantik!

Da's Candy FLoss And More Pincuchions

Just for the fun of it... i want to show 2 pincushions i made not so long ago.... Actually i wanted to see how my own hand-dyed threads turn out.....you see... i've been doing some experiments with threads and dyes...

So here is the result...



The last one is my favorite floss...it turned out so well.... But the first one on top is the 'failed one'..... i nearly threw it into the dustbin.... but being my first ever hand-dyed floss,..i tried stitching with it a bit... and made into a that blue pincushion.... just for keepsake...

Notice the better picture quality?... those pictures were taken by Dear Son No 1, with his newly bought camera... hmmmm.... i need to borrow that camera often....

My JE SAL Update

Hello friends....i realised that i haven't shown my progress on my JE SAL until now... so sorry about that, Puan Organiser Salmi..... we should make an update on our SAL progress at least once a month, right?

So here it is....


hmmm... i thought i can finish the top shelf before i show it here... but sad to say... my target is not achieved... and now that i have some thing important to do..(the Bookmark Exchange), my SAL has to wait in queue again....
