Basket of smalls updated

Yess..manage to add 2 more new item to my basket. The rest of the 'smalls' were from my previous collection of fobs..

The small 'red hand bag' is adorable...yess??

Basket of Smalls...

I dont know what to do with the remnants of my aida...nak buang sayang..nak dijahit sesuatu..meletihkan lah pulak..ekekeke. So..with a lot of stored patience..I went on to make basket of small fragrant pillows..in all sizes and shapes.. So far, I've managed to complete 3 item. There are still more in the makings..wish me luck eh..

The patterns was from Donna Kooler and my 'ciput' collection of XS magazines.. I'll update once I've made a handfull...yeehaaa!!

note...please ignore the oily stained plant in the pot eh..botol pecah...hikhikhik...

In The Mood for another .....Needlebook...

Yesss...you read it right...another needle book. I was searching for a small pattern to stitch on my small aida fabric. I found the freebies webbit (rabbit) at EMS website. So..the story goes...

My ribbon lady decorate the needlebook..as if I want to give it as a hantaran..LOL..Aiyaiyai.. calon menantu pun tak terfikir lagi....huhuhu...I like it but I dont know if anyone would ...The pink ribbon sooth the eyes..that was all that matters.. I was grinning widely when picking up the needlebook yesterday...

For those who has seen my needlebook.. will know that there is a difference in the inside of this webbit , right?? This time I stitch a small pocket. I was extra 'rajin' this time...hehehe.

Nope...this needlebook has no new owner yet..if that was what you're thinking...a loner it is..no immediate next of kin too..

Do You Still Remember???

It was my first try on linen. My eyes hurt but my heart was so proud..I was complaining like nobody bussiness.. remember?? ..LOL. After all the fuss. it was kept in the 'goboks' until...who knows when..



While making a pinkeep for the'red poppy family' last two weeks, I decided to do the finishing for the 5 Flowers too. I dont have to feel guilty for ' not finishing the bussiness' anymore..LOL

Look at all the small ribbons attached to the pinkeep? That was not my doing. Initially I only asked G ( my ribbons lady aka biras) to tie the ribbons for me. But she was so 'rajin' and add 4 more small ribbons at the edging..hahaha..I dont quite like it..but decided to leave it there as it will be for display only..its not going to hurt anyone eyes ..but mine...hehehe..Thanks G....

Aksi 'Panas' Pinchesska

Ni mesti kes takde kerja...petang tadi sambil berehat2. TERuja nak ambil gambar Pinchesska alias gegirl..macam2 style . Nak gelak pun ada sebab tersengguk2 dia tidur. Infact, ambil gambar pun dia tak sedar..Mungkin dia pun dah tak larat ..selalu sangat kena posing depan kamera..dah biasa dah..LOL

Sudut kerusi ni memang favorite spot dia. Tak kisah dah nak control sopan...tak malu betul tidur terkangkang giteww..LOL

Hari Membuat Roti...

Hujung minggu lepas, ronda2 di alam cyber...cari resepi yang berkenan di mata. TERmasuk kat blog kawan lama kat CARI dulu2 - Maisya..Himpunan Pelbagai Resepi.
Kagum betul dgn Maisya ni..dia rajin dan kreatif. memang impressive. TERberkenan dgn resepi French Baguettes yang ada kat blog dia. Jadi malam tadi kita pun cuba..

Dah lama betul tak buat roti..kira macam dah pencen giteww..Jadi, malam tadi makan french baguttes with garlic butter cicah dengan mushroom soup.




Sedap lah rasa dia..in fact much better dr baguettes yg selalu beli kat bakery tu..keras kejung..yg ni soft dan ada rasa .Dari satu resepi tu kita bahagi kepada tiga ketul..sorang satu lah kan..Tak sangka pulak..roti tu habis sekali hadap je. Mushroom Soup itu beli yang instant je..jenama Knorr. Just tambah sikit whipped cream, tu pasal soup jadi putih melepak. Yang penting..sapu bersih..



Ok, bagi yang sudah TER dengan french baguettes ni, disertakan sekali resepinya yang dikutip dari blog Maisya .

Dalam oven sekarang ni sedang bakar roti lagi. Kali ni Roti Burger pulak. Juga kutip resepi dari blog Maisya. Next entry ye kita cerita..Wahhh..semerbak rumahku dengan bau roti..

Oh ya, cerita pasal Roti Burger ada kat sini..nak letak kat sini macam tak seswai dgn description blog..LOL

Its Family Time.

Ahaa..dah lama tak mengomel pasal family sets kan..Entry kali ini akan bercerita pasal latest family sets yang dibuat khas untuk seorang adik manis iteww..A very very belated birthday gifts. Maafkan akak ye Mus..slow bebenor gifts tu sampai..ahakss.

Semua stitching siap dibuat dalam bulan Julai lagi. tetapi disebabkan mood yang macam biskut chipsmore kan..sekejap ada, sekejap takde.. semuanya bergerak mcm siput. Sebelum puasa dah siapkan fob..siap dengan tassel lagik. Malah cordingnya pun buat sendiri...kelasss ahkak. Bukan apa, tak tau kat mana nak cari cording macam-macam fesyen kat sini. Bulan puasa pulak kononnya nak buat sekurang-kurangnya pincushion tu tapi tak jadi jugak..ada hal lain pulak kena settle dulu. Lepas raya dah jadi ular sawa pulak..melingkaq kat open house tak hengat..Lepas selesai puasa enam baru tergerak hati nak sambung matress pincushion tu. Rupanya, pincushion style ni leceh jugak ye..nak kelim tepi2 tu memang mencabar kesabaran. Rasa macam forever nak sampai kat hujung tu..




Pinkeep tu pun macam forever jugak ambil masa nak siap. Potong mounting board dah lama, tapi tak terusik jugak. Sampailah satu hari datang kesedaran dalam diri bahawasanya...(cewahh - ayat!!), hadiah ni dah lama sangat tertangguh..nak tunggu apa lagi kan...Jadi, keesokannya..siap semua finishing utk lain2 item..pinkeep, needlebook dan scissors tip protector boleh siap dlm satu hari je...boleh pun makcik...saja je kan...ikutkan sangat perasaan malas dan takde mood tu... Tip protector tu sebenarnya last minute decision..maklumlah kan..teruja dgn projek mega kawan2 lain..so ingat nak cuba buat sesuatu yang tak pernah buat lagi...


Lepas dah siap semuanya, maka berkumpullah semua ahli keluarga untuk mengambil gambar Happy Family iteww. Hanya ribbon pada pinkeep , tip, fob dan pincushion itew yang mintak biras tolong buat..hehe..me kantoi bab tu..




Dalam banyak banyak item tu, suka sangat kat needlebook dan pinkeep tu sebab ia simple sangat. Kosong dan nampak bersih je. Hajat hati nak decorate jugaklah tepi2 tu dgn something tapi tak sampai hati la nak kacau....nanti jadi lagi buruk..Cuma jahitan je lah yang buruk. maklumlah kan, jahit tangan saje..terketaq-ketaq makcik kontrol jangan kasi senget benget..LOL...Oh ya, kalau ada bertanya, kenapa masih guna aida bukan linen atau evenweave, jawapannya...clearance stok maa..sian adik manis...kain ni banyak lagi dlm simpanan..takut dia tukau kaler nanti. Lagipun I bet, adik manis tak guna semua tu, dia akan simpan dalam gobok khas ..for display only.. sayang kan nak guna...*wink-wink*

Lupa pulak nak cerita, pattern bunga poppy ni diambil dari buku ' Cross Stitch Flowers - Inspirational Ideas for Creating Beautiful Cards And Gifts'. Memang jatuh chenta sehabis2nya dgn semua bunga2 kat dalam buku ni. Infact, sekarang pun sdg stitch satu projek bunga dari buku ini. Nantikan perkembangannya nanti..yehaaa!

Jadi kepada Musliha..terima kasih sebab sudi menerima pemberian akak seadanya. Ada lima item dalam tu..so boleh cover gifts selama lima tahun. Kita dah kenal selama tiga tahun, jadi utk dua tahun akan datang, akak tak perlu kasi gifts lagi lah kan....wahahaha..macam ni punya olang pun ada...

Yummylicious Chocolate Cheesecake

I am not a big fan of cheesecake, nor was the rest of the family..may it baked, chilled or the cotton soft type. My only experience in baking a cheesecake was two years ago. My peach cheesecake tasted too sour to my liking..it end up in the..hahaha..you know where..

Since my younger biras has these cravings for cheesecake, I had to bake one for her before she's due. So..armed with a pendrive and and internet connection, I went hunting for the best , easy to do cheesecake. The mission was succesfull as I end up at CARI forum with a chilled choc cheesecake recipe.

Easy to do and fast was the motto. I enjoyed making it. Even more enjoyable as the turnout was not bad at all. Using the leftover cookies as base was even better..skimping on costly food has become a routine..LOL. Membazir itu berdosa!!

Happy sangat bila kek menjadi dan rasanya sedap. Cuma satu saja yang terpaksa di ingati..tak seswai makan banyak. Sepotong saja pun dah fullfilling. Nasib baik buat sebab nak kasi orang, kalau sendirik makan..tak taulah......

Roti Arab...

Bored was the exact word to describe the day. Its Deepavali, no plans was made to fill the day. Everyone was so cozy 'melingkaq' like a phyton that day. So..what else to do...masuk dapur , masak, buat gathering kecil2..makan dan sambung lepak2...bela lemak2 kasik bertimbun..LOL.

Hari tu, masak Roti Arab. makan dgn keema.(daging cincang). Masa ni lah teringat saat2 'rakus' makan kat restoran mamak kat Penang. Jadilah kan..suasana jer berbeza..Di sini ada satu jer restoran mamak..itupun dah tak ori masakannya LOL. Rasa pelik lah pulak makan mee goreng mamak tak pedas tapi manis..shhh..tak baik tawww kutuk2..babap kang!!

Apapun...sedap juga roti ni. Resepi dari forum CARI. Aloo Keema tu pun sedap juga (senirik puji maa). Tapi DH kata roti arab yg dia makan kat Sg Petani lagi sedap..hampess...potong betul lah!! Tapi disebabkan dia yg tolong uli tepung tu..ku pendam duka dalam diam..LOL.

Disebabkan ada satu permintaan...hahaha..satu permintaan pun jadilah...here is the recipe:

My Bear-Bear Completed

Almost forgot to update that I have managed to complete the bear-bear on the second day of Ramadhan. Comfortably tossing the piece into my gobok as I have no future plan for it yet..benci2 pun siap jugak...merungut-rungut pun..nampak cantik jugak bila dah siap..Morale of the story..jangan merungut2 masa stitching, jangan benci2 masa menjahit...tak baik tawww..seri tak naik ke atas hasil kerja kita...LOL

Scissors Tip Protector

With a very envious mind over accomplishments of my dear friends in the group, I was busy looking for something different to do. Ya lah kan..org lain buat projek mega, bullion lah, jahit manik lah, baju kurung lah, sulam lah, RE lah,beranak lah..(phewitt!!)..me too need to find a mega(megi lah for me) project so that my interest and energy for stitching does not subside..sound pathetic am I.

Here it goes...my first (again??) scissors tip protector. I'm still with the flower motif as I want to match it to the pincushion. I hate the glue-glue thingy, but then..remember the word experimenting??. Yeah..for those who has noticed..I didnt do the ribbons okay. Had to beg my "biras" to do it for me. I think I have these ribbons fhobia and its still haunting me to this very day...

I believe I can do better next time..but for a first timer..I'll bear with it..merah ang-ang tuu...

My First Matress Pincushion

Wallahh...it has been ages . I have always wanted to stitch my own matress pincushion. Since I was happy hibernating, I spend some time stitching the matress pincushion. Yeah..I really did spend a lot of time stitching and then do the finishing. Seems like forever....People might wonder why I choose a flower motif for the pincushion. The answer is simple..I luveee flower and always will. Sebab itulah kebanyakan item yg terhasil selalu lari dari orang2 lain...org lain kebanyakannya follow the trend, but I choose to do differently..Yang penting tetap cantik di mataku....



This is how it looks like before I went experimenting with glue and ribbons. Dont laugh please....I was just experimenting ok...I was quite sure it looks better without the ribbons...hahaha, Unless somebody else tell me otherwise...but then it looks so bold..well that was what I thought.




Then...looking at the pincushion with ribbons and whatnot...its not breathtaking at all...Well..ugly pun ugly lah..its my first matress pincushion..I'll make do with it...
