A Tuesday parcel....

Color Me Pretty.

A working SUNDAY...

Although its an off day for everyone...its definitely a working day for me.....Hanging of curtains took place at a six bedded house in TIARA SETIAWANGSA.Work started at 10 am .3 roman blinds and 67 meters of pinch pleated sheers were hung ..Sebab dah penat supervise the hanging session so lets just look at the piccies aje..tak perlu banyak celoteh kan..hihihi
Will only show the pinch pleated sheers hung at the main living..The other areas will look just the same...

My two assistants which made my hanging sessions a breeze...huhuhu..bless me!

The kitchen blind in GREENMARKET DESIGN...from ELYZA..

This roman blind at the kitchen is partially hidden on the left by the hanging wall cabinet.

Jahit blind senang tapi tak tahan bab menggantung...a lot of process to follow...

 A lot of strings to tie,adjustments to make....before you can finally hang up.Work was completed at 1.30pm..Part 2 will continue when the night curtains are ready.

My humble recluse....

Now infested with that greeny hoppy pest.......Manage to FLATTEN 2 with my fingertips this morning..they are so tiny but look at the damage done..Any body have any idea how to shoo them without chasing the beautiful butterflies away?!

And more here...

But these two babies are so gratifying.....and on many hot days makes me want to swim along...

A very busy hexi patch work but quite neatlly done!

Today  i received another huge patchwork measuring 120 inch x by 86 inch...huhuhu..nak di jadikan 2 pieces quilt for a single bed...But owner whispered to me," Rosni buat slow2 ya sebab kak dah broke..,,tunggu gaji bulan depan..." 

She wants the backing to be one in green and the other set in  blue checks...Adeh....lagi ribut ...don' you think so..?I will shove it aside for awhile...

And in the mean time the 3 blinds and 67 meters of pinch pleated cream sheers are all ready tu hang..

Entah kenapa minggu ni tangan saya menjadi-jadi gian nye..Too much blog hopping i guess...and look what i got myself indulge in...

A heavenly laden yoyo hexie caddie pin cushion..Kalau the first was done in three days...this one was completed in 3 hours..!minus the yoyos which i have ready stock all the time...Yeh! Saya Boleh!!Tapi unfortunately,caddie nye dah kemek sebab terkial2 nak jahit yoyo..kakaka.Don't be surprise if i have my own hexie caddie parade....saja nak syok sendiri..

 And i also got myself making a new home for my mates....Mr Scissors...all the time seating in a box,,,kali ni bagi chance merasa kain ELYZA yang mahal sesangat nih...ROOM FOR KIDS VOL 2.Kain ni i hijack dari sample book...dapat buat small case ni pun jadik lah...

Nostalgia zaman kanak-kanak...

Many many years ago bila cuti sekolah aje arwah mak suka ajak i sama2 siapkan alas meja yang dibuat dari perca2 kain..( .Arwah mak memang suka menjahit aneka bende ...dari baju ke langsir sampai lah ke kerja kraftangan)...Now kite tak  panggil alas meja..ada nama lebih glamour ... runner..Masa tu memang rasa kene dera lah....Mana tak nye....time tu kite lebih suka main masak2 and teng-teng..Tak macam budak2 sekarang..asyik mengadap lap top,tengok wayang dan membelik i-phone...Dengan kemajuan teknologi manusia pun dah jadi so complex kan!Salah siapa agaknye ya!

Anyway berbalik pada hobby arwah mak...yang membuat saya teringatkan hobby arwah yang satu ni ialah selepas bertandang ke blog sew mama sew about yoyo embellishment...Sekarang dah ade yoyo maker ...time i dulu puas lah cari tudung tupperware untuk buat acuan ...or now panggil template...Tapi sampai lah ni i am still using the old fashion way of making yoyo...old habits die hard...yeh!Sebenar nye i belum jumpa the yoyo maker in Malaysia.Lihat lah what i did over the past few days...

Great way to utilise small remnants kan!Banyak nye bende yang nak buat tapi tangan ade dua aje and masa ade 24 jam aje sehari..and time is passing like the breezy wind.....woosh.......dah nak sampai December!

AL-FATEHAH BUAT ARWAH MAK

Sekadar melayan tangan yang gian...hihihi..

Jangan pikir yang bukan2 ya....sebenarnye setelah melihat hexie caddie pin cushion Kak Dee and bertandang pulak ke blog Penny,hati kecil ku berlonjak2 nak mencuba...dah tu nampak macam senang aje...tapi believe me it is not as easy as it looks..my caddie almost topple kerana tak dapat nak agak berapa banyak fiber nak di sumbat...well if you have many kilos of fiber staring blank at you,( oops at me),you cannot help going overboard...wakakaka..Lepas tu bab nak handstitch...adeh .....memang mencabar kesabaran...rasa nak tekan aje dengan mesin highspeed aku tuh!!!( olih kerana cikgu kata kene jahit tangan jadi anak murid kene ikut) Tapi masuk hari ketiga( ya 3 days..punye lah bengap) siap jugak bende jahanam nih....kikiki.

Tapi terpaksa embellish untuk menutup kecacatan handstitch ku....But i had fun laughing at myself and the end product is......

memang tak layak masuk Hexie caddy parade.....kesian dia..

Pesanan khidmat masyarakat.......

Kepada kekawan yang meminati barang2 dari rotan,sila ambil perhatian ...Kedai Uncle Liew terletak nun di Ampang  berpengalaman dalam pembikinan perabot rotan...mana tak nye...pekerja2 dia semua above 60 years old...So kalau nak tempah kene le berbanyak sabor...But he also sell a lot of ready mades like rocking chairs,chests,baby cribs,tables.....and if you want something done according to your specifications pun he will do it for you.His price memang unbeatable ...So ini lah alamat dia....

Tapi kedai dia tak glamour ..kedai orang tua kan ...but quality of work is fabulous!...tahap 5 bintang!

Yesterday.....

pergi ke kedai rotan yang terpesuk kat Pekan Ampang nak collect my baby swing which was long overdue!Janji siap in 5 days tapi....genap 3 minggu baru siap ma.....Dah tu kalau nak murah kene lah sabor....One thing i like about this kedai rotan is harga dia tremendously cheaper than those kedai rotan yang tepi jalan2 besar tuh..better not mention names..takut2 nanti tuan kedai belasah saya dengan rotan2 nye..hihihi.I stumble upon this kedai rotan at Ampang about 10 years ago...masa mula2 nak start my business..

Anyway nak pendek kan cerita my intention of buying this baby swing is ( not for me ya..kilang anak i dah expire!) bagi menyahut permintaan customers yang ingin menyewa untuk majlis akikah and berendoi...and not forgetting cukur jambul...Ya lah...Buai ni pakai sekejap aje pas tu duk menyemak at one corner..and harga nye pun bole tahan gak mahal...

Kalau ade sesiapa nak menyewa buai for those occasion please contact me or e mail or sms.....Heres the pic..Masih belum di pakaikan baju .....Masih baru....Now tengah  memerah otak nak buat sarung pesen ape.Dah jemu dengan frill2 tuh...

Rasa macam nak chat warna putih...tapi biar lah dulu...Lepas tu tergoda pulak dengan meja ala basket chest nih..Seperti orang mengantuk di bagi bantal empuk.. Uncle tu pulak bagi harga spesial...ape lagi...rembat lah...

 

Ade telinga on both sides for easy handling.As for now Kak Dee's wall hanging fits nicely on  top..Take a look..

Is this the beginning of a new collection?!Oh i love rotans..Dah mengendeng the love seat wicker chair..akan bertandang lagi ke kedai rotan tu.

Pinch Pleated sheers for TIARA House,TAMAN SETIAWANGSA

Lama tak talk about my curtain affair..sebab demand for curtains whether you like it or not is fairly seasonal.Currently i am working on pinch pleated (sebab you really have to pinch the 2 pleats before you can sew on it ) sheers for a six bedded house at TIARA SETIAWANGSA.All are in cream striped polyester..All 67 meters.....

 

In the meantime,2 roman blinds are ready..also for TIARA HOUSE.

.

The yellow greenmarket design is for the kitchen while yang gingham check in purlpe is for son's room...Both roman blind is fully lined.Another blind is currently being stitched for daughter's room..Tapi gambar blur lah sikit..Will still show off the pic anyway.... hihihi....

Sesiapa yang berminat nak buat sendiri roman blind bole le drop by at
http://www.alternative-windows.com/roman-blind.htm.Very detailed tutorial.

Roman blinds are easy to stitch.The most tricky part is to sew the straight horizontal lines..need some skill and good practice though!For a first timer,NUROL did a great job.Her stitching experience as a dress maker pay off well!She is still under training in close supervision...very meticulous in her work but bit slow for my liking....adeh!

More gifts received!This time from........................

Kamila.....the DIY Lover......

Thanx a zillion Mila..Suka the young looking granny's bag and the handsome wristlet.,fabulous job!!
Would you be interested to do more wristlets for me in exchange  for more beautiful scraps??just asking.....

Saja nak tayang the first received handmade project from NYKOLETT's SCRAPS.

From Kak Dee

A wall hanging and a hexie caddie...thanx so much Kak Dee..Saya suka sesangat...

Another tulip quilt for Khariyaton...this time in bright russet color ....

Rupa2 nye,bunga tulips pun cantik...sehebat roses jugak.This time the quilt is in tulip flowers on both sides with russet frills.As for the pillows,two are in russet piping while the other two are frilled in tulips and piped in russet.

Green quilt for Khariyaton...

This time with double frill all round the comforter.Floral frill on the green side and plain green frill on the floral side....Tedious work but it was worth it...sweet and different.As for the pillow cases,the frills were just floral with green piping.

Harga runtuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....Operasi meyelongkar,mengemas dan jual murah-murah.....

 sedang giat dijalankan di NYKOLETT......so.........

Sesiapa yang berminat dengan kain heavy cotton sila ambil perhatian.Dua kain dibawah ini nak saya jual dengan harga yang cukup istimewa..........only RM25 per meter...But theres only 4 meters left for each design..Postage not included lah pulak....and yes...as usual will selit a few scraps for you to belasah for small projects...

Better stay tune for more updates...entah ape lagi yang terpesuk kat timbunan stash....tu lah beli tak beragak...main ikut nafsu..pakai semeter dua dah bosan......now kene let go.....

If its not embellished than it is not finished...so true kata2 BETTY BLAIS...

When i know my embroidery sucks,or maybe mesin singer i tu yang dah usang.,and an inner voice  whispered  " do not despair old girl "....so i went digging into my embellishment buffet,;.kakaka..and look what i found......among other things lah kan....

I remembered using these sweet ornaments for a baby project many years ago....But now the meterage is too liitle to do big projects.So mula lah operasi menepek dan menekankan...huhuhu.

Sometimes little things give big effect on an otherwise plain artwork...easy peasy...So kekawan yang tak ade mesin embroidery tak perlu gusar..beli aje trimmings yang melambak dipasaran lepas tu tepek and tekan..Your job will be completed in a breeze.Just a matter of choosing the right trimmings...

Enjoy your weekend...
