light at the end of the tunnel

heyyaa, feels like ages I haven't been writing here... Well things are pretty much crazy in my life lately. After that short trip to Dubai last Monday, I sorta broke my outer side water. So we rushed to the hospital worrying that it might actually be the water that is broken. But thankfully its not. Apparently outside your water in your womb, there are two other layers of water to protect it, God is indeed one truly magnificent maker don't you think? If one of the that two layers is broken, it's OK coz in time, the tear will heal itself and protect your actual water again.

After that incident, been pretty much starting to sew and sew and sew. I went to Passer Baru to buy some cotton materials and I went overboard! I bought fabrics in lotsa price range, from the cheapest one I can found in pasar Atom to the lovely Ratu Busana store. Here are the pics of my fabric findings. So so thrilled with the polkadots, stars, flags, well basically ALL hihihii...



My first project is making a baby's bib. Got the tutorial from Lia, this very sweet and creative mother of two girls. She really really amazed me, and turns out I kinda know her husband from high school era hehe. Thank you so much Lia for the pattern n tutorial, I definitely definitely need to practice more in making bibs. Here's my first bib and according to me not quite realistic to use in real life tho somehow, so so different from Lia's bib for sure hahaha. Ya well...




After bib then I make some pouches, the first attempt is the pear pouch, still from Lia's tutorial the gift bag applique and again, hers look soo put together n mine, again, yah well...



Made two other pouches one for my nephew and one for my hair straightener that is abandoned by me for ages. Didn't get the chance to take pics of it tho. Gave this one pouch to my mom for her blackberry.

And yesterday after browsing cottonier's site in facebook and looking at this pretty pretty oh so pretty matrioshka dolls, I got the idea to make a plushy for my dearest nephew Ndu who is crazy with all sorta dinosaurus things rite now. Hopefully he"ll loves it. Kisses Ndu, I love every bits of you much much much!!!



the oh so pretty matrioshka dolls, hint husband hint!

and my dino/camel (unta) 'donta' for Ndu. Somehow I felt this more like a camel rather than a dino, hehe hopefully Ndu wont realize it and still thinks its a dino...
