more and more time was spent on sewing, and one month later, less and less time was spent on sewing. motive? none.

spent a week or so end of april sewing appliance covers- toaster, grill, kettle, for a friend. used the same fabric as before: the cherry cord fabric, so not really worth any pictures. only to say that i'm now more confident to sew any size cover given the correct measurements.
with some excess material (because i was charging her based on the price of the meterial) i made some pot holders.


sometime before that i also made my mom a k-mix cover


i also worked tediously on my most prized quilting project. finally after more then a month of hand quilting (seriously, it took me that long!) it was done! there was a huge sigh of relief when i was done, people were getting tired of seeing the same thing on my lap everytime i sat down. however, i haven't come around to taking afinished picture. instead i'll put up a picture of the patchwork-in-the-making


also made an oven mitt with extra fabric (husband was giving me looks for buying fabric, despite still having many more leftovers in sewing box.)


and i also made a nappy wallet on one fine afternoon. prize possession in handbag. goes everywhere with me.




also, i tried my hand at crayon rolls. made the first for my own daughter (not as successful as wished) and later made another two as birthday presents. (don't have a pic of 1st or second though)


other then that, i've been baking (very little) and have a few good photos. i promise that i will update recipes sometime soon.

till then

First attempt at patchwork. many many flaws, but then again it is my first try. Will try to do better once this one is completely finished.

I have decided to try something new. New but not unfamilair. when i was in high school, one of the subject i had to take was home economics, so i have been introduced to the basics of sewing.
this was my first project. hopefully there will be more projects to follow.

Oh and yes, baking means eating which means putting on weight.. haha which is why i'm taking the break.

All the nice pictures put up from sometime in november till the last entry was taken by muhammad fauzi daud. Thank you.

Birthday went by. Got a lot of wonderful wishes from friends.

I also received a bunch of lilies and a birthday cake from my sweet housemates.


My husband also gave me a NINA RICCI perfume gift set. (yeaaay)
