Budak Cicak Nak Posing

Because i am not in the mood of shooting new pictures.... here i show some pictures of Budok, the kitten... the apple of his Mama's eyes.....
The first thing his Mama will look for when she gets back from school is Budok....
"Budok....Budok.... where are you...mama dah balik ni"..... she will call...hehehe

And then she will ask me "Kakak dah kasi Budok makan?...

My...my....he has grown so fast...




Ehem...in case you are wondering... Budok calls me Kakak ... because i refused to be called Grandma... itu Mama dia punya ultimatum...
"Mummy, you want to be Grandma or not?" ....
"NO....no way"
"Kalau gitu Mummy kena jadi Kakak okay?".....
"Okay"...so Kakak it is...hehehe....jangan marah....

Alien In The Garden



This is my Paula Vaughan project which i started quite a long time ago (well... actually very long long time ago).... the pattern is Lovely Lilies from the Quilts From The Garden book....

So far...this is the most challenging project for me.... a lot of colour changing... and there are new things for me to tackle like.... half stitches and quarter stitches.... well half stitches are fine but quarter stitches are killing me...arrgh...

There is supposed to be a quilt some where in the middle but i have given up working on it.... by the way can anybody see an alien there? hubby thought that is a pink alien there... hahaha... how many time i have tell him that no alien is involve here.... that is a QUILT!

Kenduri Cheese Tarts




Last saturday i got the chance to make these yummy cheese tartlets... sedap memang sedap... but not as sedap as yang Kak Ros buat.... fikir punya fikir... i know the reason lah... dulu tu makan ramai2 dengan my darling sisters dan sebab Kak Ros yang buat...
yang ni buat sendiri... makan pulak sorang2(almost!)....pastu filling dia yg mistake... i used wildberry filling.... rasa dia pelik sket bagi orang yang tak biasa (like me lah)...

I made some without fruit filling for my DS no:1... he wont take any kind of fruit...so for him i just put cheese filling.... i tried one of his...mmmm sedap!...then i put some strawberry jam on it....mmmm...laaagi sedap....
So...moral of the story...next time nak buat lagi but nak guna strawberry filling or blueberry filling...

Tapi kan dalam tak sedap tak sedap wildberry filling tu kan..... me dah makan dalam 10 bijik juga....hahaha...

Ps: Buat jangan tak buat....rugi tau...

A Beautiful Pinkeep From Ain

I never guessed that i would be Ain's partner... but thanks to our clever Adik Manis... i am the recipient of her gift... what a nice surprise....

So here it is ...show time!
What a pretty it is... the colour combination is so sweet ...but most of all i love the saying on it..." cross stitch forever...housework whenever".... yess..that is sooo me!...hihihi
Thank you very very much dear Ain...




Along with it she gave me lots of colourful buttons...ribbons flowers...felt and bobbins... oh i love them all... It is so very sweet of you, Ain...muahs!

A pinkeep for Ain

We had our Pinkeep Exchange recently and my partner is our sweet Ain... thank you Miss Organiser for letting her be my partner....
Well i am sure everyone has seen it on her blog but i am going to show it here one more time..... the pattern is Tiny Little Quaker from Papillon....

All the stitching was done during my holidays in Kelantan at my dear MIL's house

And a family photo before i send it to Ain personally... it was a bit late to sent it by post.... well... not really... actually, its just an excuse for me to see Ain again....hahaha

In Love With Crochet

Do i crochet?.... oh yes i do... i love to crochet tho' i am not very good at it.... i learned from the books...and the internet.... so there are lots of guessing game here.... of whether i am doing the right thing or not.... until today i am not sure of how to read certain patterns.... most of of the time i just 'hentam saja'... as long as my finish product resembles their picture... jadi la tu agaknyer...hehehe
Oh how i wish ada sifu yang boleh tunjuk hands on.... kalau Kak Reen or Mus ada dekat kan senang...?

Okay... i started this doily last December.... yes ..DECEMBER 2006..
I was so crazy about crochet then that i started 3 projects...ermmm 4 actually....naughty... naughty...naughty... its been a UFO until i made an effort to carry it around and crochet whenever i can (well... mostly in the car).... so i finished this doily last week....NOVEMBER 2007...



What happened to the other 3 projects?.... A shawl for my girl is completed on the spot...well because it is small and easy... the other two are tops for my girl... all at about 30% progress....hmmmm
And guess what?...last week me TERlaunch another baju project for her... "Mom...dah lupa ker baju saya dulu belum siap?" huhuhu... what can say... the little girl tops in the books look so adorable... i just can't help myself....

And kat bawah ni me tengah test drive pattern utk buat alas meja... its a combination of 2 different blocks ... they are quite easy to do.... just hope that i wont get bored doing the same thing over and over again... Kalau ada geng baru seronok buat ni...so anybody in for Crochet-A-Long table cloth? Jangan lupa....kita kan 'sedara'?
