Stress? Make a Dress

2012-01-06T21:55:00.002+08:00

It rhymes eh? thee hee hee.. I am in the middle of 3 stressful weeks... The exam week! woo hoo!!!! .. I have 3 papers to sit for exam.. and three major reports to submit as requirement of each subject. Lucky I only took 3 subjects.. Imagine if I took 5?

And so, it's stressful.. I haven't touch the hook for about a week .. (really?). I missed them so much.. So, after during the first paper, I started a dress!

This is how it looks when finished.

After I washed and put a flower .. the picture did not do justice to the colour .. :( I took the pictures in a dim light at night with my phone.. :(

And some details...

I made it rom a free pattern from redheart website. What do you think?

Thank you for looking!

Goodbye 2011, Welcome 2012

2011-12-30T19:44:00.003+08:00

I had never write a lot before. Actually I want to write longer for this entry but I don't know, let's just see. ;)

Today is the last Friday of 2011, 30th December. Another day and it's New Year of 2012. 2011 taught me loads of things. About life, about love, about happiness, about sadness, fear, joy, friendship, and the list will never end. Maybe I just recap some big events happened to me in 2011 that makes me move forward to 2012 (not in particular order).

1. I got a new boss. A lady boss. She's a bossy as a boss can be. At first I thought it was her who makes my day a hell at work. But someone told me that it's me who has the power to make the day bright and happy.With this, I learnt that happiness lies inside us; but where we are do contributes. ;)

2. I was sick and warded for almost 2 weeks. God knows how painful it was and how scary it's been to have to be in the operation theater for 3 times in 10 days time. With it I learn that Allah listens. And He is Ar-Rahman and Ar-Rahim. With it too, I learnt about human character. I met the loving, the caring, the selfish, almost everybody and I learnt where I was in some of people I called "important".

3. I was featured in an article in one of leading English newspaper in Malaysia - the Star. My hobby that I love so much - Amigurumi has been acknowledged. With that, I found new friends, I found self confident, I got inspirations and I am happy. :D. I was featured in the same newspaper again recently, on "personalised presents". No face but the thoughts was publish. Makes me want to speak out more and contribute.

4. I took action to what I've been wanting to do all these while - pursuing my study. September 5th was the day I register for my Master Degree and I'm struggling right now (age factor - LOL) and I found that I love learning. I love the knowledge and I started to wonder if I had enough knowledge doing my work all these 13 years.

5. I went to a school reunion. I always had inferiority complex - that's what I always said about myself. I feel embarrassed to meet my classmates, the other kids from other class, I don't know why. But things happened and I was COINCIDENTALLY being at the resort ON the very day the reunion was planned. Actually I planned not to attend but hey! there I was. I learnt that I'm not bad at all. I am good and all my fears are nonsense.

6. I lost a friend to ovarian cancer. She was a joyous friend until the very end. She even laugh and make me laugh during her most painful time. Let's pray for her; may she be blessed. I learn that life life is short and I have to live it to the fullest.

7.All and all, I am happy and blessed with my family; loving husband and three kids that keep me busy and occupied. They make me feel important.

.. and so, for 2012, I wish:

1. I can express myself more in writing, verbal and through my crafts.

2. I want to cherish every moment I have, enjoy every second of the day, being off the office and do what I love to do.

3. I can fulfill some of my dreams that I wrote in my private journal.

4. I can knit ;)

5. Most of all, I am blessed with health and happiness and loved.

Ameen

Thank you for reading. Have a year full of happiness and joy!

Bear with Balloon

2011-09-18T11:49:00.003+08:00

I've been running here and there a lot recently and I hope it's about time I can slow down and enjoy the time. At this moment, I present you with a special gift. A pattern for "bear with balloon". I first saw such a cutie at haruki's harugurumi blog. I can't resist the cuteness so I try to come out with my own. It's not as cute as Haruki's but I like it and I hope you'll like him too. Kudos to Haruki for the inspiration. ;)

Now, without further ado, here is the pattern:

Pattern Note: the bear and the balloon are made in round but it's not compulsory. I used 3.5mm hook and some 8 ply acrylic scrap. You can use any yarn you like best with suitable hook. You can choose any favourite colour to make your bear too.

Head

R1. 6 sc in a magic ring

R2. 6 inc

R3. (sc, inc)x6

R4. (2sc, inc)x6

R5. (3sc, inc)x6

R6 to R9. sc around

R10. (3sc, dec)x6

R11. (2sc, dec)x6

R12. (sc, dec)x6

Finish off and leave long tail for sewing

Muzzle

R1. 6sc in a magic ring

R2. 6inc

Finish off and leave long tail

Body

R1. 6 sc in a magic ring

R2. 6 inc

R3. (sc, inc)x6

R4. (2sc, inc)x6

R5 to R6. sc around

Change yarn colour if you want to make your bear looks like he's wearing a shirt

R7. sc around

R8. (2sc, dec)x6

R9. sc around

R10. (sc, dec)x6

R11. sc around

Finish off

Ears (make 2)

R1. 6sc in magic ring

R2. 6inc

R3. sc around

Finish off and leave long tail for sewing

Hands (make 2)

R1. 6sc

R2 to R7. sc around

Finish off and leave long tail

Legs (make 2)

R1. 6sc in magic ring

R2. (sc, inc)x3

R3. sc around

R4. (sc, dec)x3

R5 to R6. sc around

Finish off and leave long tail

Assembly:

Now that we have all the parts ready, stuff the head and body and sew them together. Then, sew the muzzle, ears, hands and legs together. I did not stuff the hands and i only stuff lightly in the "bigger" part of the legs. Viola! your bear is ready now! It's time to make the balloons.

Balloons (make as many as you like that can fly your bear far far away)

R1. 6sc in a magic ring

R2. 6inc

R3. (sc, inc)x6

R4. (2sc, inc)x6

R5 to R7. sc around

R8. (2sc, dec)

R9. sc around

R10. (sc, dec)x6

R11. sc around

R12. (sc, dec)x4

R13. 4(dec)

Finish off and leave long tail to tie to the bear's hand. Repeat as many as you want your bear to have the balloons. ;)

Now your bear can go up, up and away!

Note: You can make your bear your own way with the guidance of this pattern. Please DO NOT sell this pattern and do not claim it as yours. It is mine and please have a respect to it if you call yourself an artist. Thank you

The Mother

2011-06-21T15:47:00.002+08:00

I re-post this article from my favourite author's blog - Paolo Coelho. It touched my heart so much that I want to share it.

When the Good Lord was creating mothers, He was into his sixth day of “overtime” when an angel appeared and said:
“You’re doing a lot of fiddling around on this one.”

And the Lord said, “Have you read the specs on this order?

* She has to be completely washable, but not plastic;
* Have 180 movable parts… all replaceable;
* Run on black coffee and leftovers;
* Have a lap that disappears when she stands up;
* A kiss that can cure anything from a broken leg to a disappointed love affair;
* And six pairs of hands.”

The angel shook her head slowly and said, “Six pairs of hands… no way.”

“It’s not the hands that are causing me problems,” said the Lord. “It’s the three pairs of eyes that mothers have to have.”

“That’s on the standard model?” asked the angel.

The Lord nodded.
“One pair that sees through closed doors when she asks, ’What are you kids doing in there?’
“Another here in the back of her head that sees what she shouldn’t but what she has to know.
“And of course the ones here in front that can look at a child when he goofs up and say, ’I understand and I love you’ without so much as uttering a word.”

“Lord,” said the angel, touching His sleeve gently, “Go to bed. Tomorrow…”

“I can’t,” said the Lord, “I’m so close to creating something so close to myself. Already I have one who heals herself when she is sick
“…can feed a family of six on one pound of hamburger
“… and can get a nine-year-old to stand under a shower.”

The angel circled the model of a mother very slowly. “It’s too soft,” she sighed.

“But she’s tough!” said the Lord excitedly. “You cannot imagine what this mother can do or endure.”

“Can she think?”

“Not only can she think, but she can reason and compromise,” said the Creator.

Finally, the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek.
“There’s a leak,” she said. “I told You were trying to push too much into this model.”

“It’s not a leak,” said the Lord. “It’s a tear.”

“What’s it for?”

“It’s for joy, sadness, disappointment, pain, loneliness, and pride.”

And the Mother was created – a work of genius.

thank you for reading.

Whilst waiting for DH one day (I just can't recall the exact date here), I, who always armed with hooks and thread, had chosen this lucky rock to wear a cloth.

Thee hee hee. A sign of boredom, eh? Literally!

But at second thought, I think it makes a pretty decoration at home. So, I think, whenever i got the chance, I will be making more of this. ;)

Barney the Bear

2011-04-24T02:31:00.003+08:00

About two months ago (phewww.. where did the days go?) I took a pattern test for Diana (mygurumi). She asked for a few pattern testers for her new design - Barney. I was about 12 hours late actually but she was kind enough to let me test this cute bear. I was so happy with the outcome. Here are some pose from my version of Barney.

Does he not a cutie?

Front view.. thee hee hee

Into some deep thinking

Just loafing around

SERISHOPPE by dazzlingdewi

Please feel free to visit my shop and any constructive comment is welcomed. I even put the link and preview of my current listing at the sidebar. I haven't sell anything yet at the meantime.. Maybe I need more time to learn and the room for improvement is still BIG.

Other than that, I am constructing my own amigurumi kingdom (still in preliminary phase) and I hope it will come true in a few months to come.

I hope I can pamper this blog regularly ... I'll be back.. thank you for all your support.. you know who I mean you are.

This is a sticky note. Please roll down to see my latest entry.

Amigurumi is my love at first sight. The first time I saw it, I know I'm in love with it. Since then I have been making loads of them. I started to make them out of love and passion and then, came some who really see the beauty of it offers them a new home and I let them go to the good hands.

And now, if you ask me, yes I will answer that I do sell my amigurumis and toys. I am offering every single one that I made for a small fee (except some I might note as not for sale) because I have to buy the yarn indeed. I don't produce them in mass because I believe every single of them has their own character and personality and most of all, they are made with love... and passion. But, I do take customised order should you need them for special occasion because that is what they are meant for.

So, feel free to contact me through email or at the shoutbox should you have anything regarding to my work. I am more than happy to serve you for that. But please, serious buyer only.

Announcing here that I have already started a new blog - Serishoppe for supplies and my handmade items.

Thank you

my another addiction. boy! I have too many addictions! okay .. I don't want to take any blame, so I blame it to the worst conference I had ever attend and it was held near to one of my most allergic place - bookstore and it's KINOKUNIYA. boo! In order to keep healthy and stable, I treat myself a visit to kino and was hooked with these books ; again - I still can't read any Japanese and the books has no English word inside. Guess I'm a good picture reader eh? LOL .. I will definitely need you MsFyd!

the books :

no hook required

tawashi again (Terry! you did this to me ! LOL)

baby book (who can resist the cuteness of it?)

another baby book (too many friends with buns in the oven right now - phew!)

so, am I to blame?

Fan Bookmarks

2010-09-25T08:30:00.001+08:00

I've been admiring these bookmarks from crochetroo fo so long. I think they are beautiful but I don't have the guts to make any because I thought it's difficult to make until Clare from the UK sent me one and she said she's a beginner. I talked to her saying that she must have been kididng me because it was perfect and so beautiful. She said the pattern is not hard .. it's just clever. So I gave it a try and make one .. and then another one ..

and in a week, I already made 9 of them! It's not just clever I might add, it's contagious! LOL.
