I've been so unproductive. Did some stitch for bookmark exchange, now both bookmark is done. Packing for NNC Annivesary Meet door gift - Done. But can't take photo of these right now - bookmark exchange is secret and door gift is supposed to be a surprise..well, almost a surprise since i already announce what i'm going to contribute for the goody bag.Gathered some stuff for the exchange i'm currently in - pincushion exchange. Haven't really start anything just yet.

So, between those, to keep myself happy i make a small fob for my scissor. Then continue some beadwork on my friend's blouse.

I haven't start stitching the wedding gift for my husband PA's, which is due in May!..sigh....

Anyway, i bought myself a new camera! definitely happy with it as i think it takes a great picture, as i'am so clumsy and alien with camera..:P

..came at odd time..

so, before it fades out or left ignored in the corner of my brain, i scribbled it on the paper..look at the mess on my table..

it is quite usual for me that ideas suddenly pop up in my head when i were busy or concerntrating on something else.. though sometime it is quite disturbing too, coz i'll be contemplating with my brain whether to draw it now or later.. when that later comes, the ideas were unfresh. If it have a face, then would be a sucking up and sullen!! hahahaha!

:P

ok got to go back on things i'm working on..

I've spent two weeks adorning a friend's baju kurung, a traditional Malay outfit with beads and sequine. i could have finish it within a week but...:P..Back in the 80s or even earlier, such adornment are symbol of luxury. But it is common now that people send their clothes to beader to beauty them. I used water erasable pen to draw the motif, you can see it clearly on the sleeve end but it would disappear after being washed or spray with water.



This is what meant to be a scissors fob, stitched on 11ct Rustico Aida. I brought this in the previous NNC Bee. I make a mistake by cutting the edge too near to the design, and of course i'm having a bad time stitching them together. I didnt stuff anything into it as i might further the damage. Later i would put some beads for it to hang. Would be a good reminder not to repeat the same mistake again.



My orchid has grow a bit!! Done the backstitch, as instructed in the magazine, to avoid confusing when stitching because the colours are soo look alike.

NNC Stitching Bee

Last Saturday i went to the NNC's January Stitching Bee at Bangsar Village II. It was my first time joining the club activities.

Those who attend are AW with her 2 daughter, Alynn with her daughter, Nik, Rose, Faizon and Paul. We have a short meet, around 12.30pm everyone was leaving. I wish it could be longer, but then Nik said they usually end at 2 pm but that day everyone seems to have other things to do so we have to leave early.

i left my camera, but the photos are availble here at Paul's - theheartofpaul.blogspot.com Thank you Paul..

i did window shopping at few shops, then bought few items later. I'm so in love with this beige cardigan at Ted Baker, but RM635 for a cardigan?..see if it still there when i come back, then i will buy it! LOL!

Istanbul and Cairo, we shall come again!

My family had a great holiday in Istanbul, Turkey and Cairo, Egypt. We went to Istanbul followed by Cairo five days later...

Work in progress - for my friend in South Malaysia.
Putting up beads on our clothes here is one of the common and favourite ways to beautify what we wear, to a special occasion, or even to work!
