New Year Card and Goodies

I organised (for the first time) a craft activity at IG (the place I always lepak). The theme was handmade gcard with some craft goodies for swap. My partner, cik puan yam sent me a lovely, fabulous and superb card with 2 end hook (how does she knows I'm hooked?) and a beautiful variegated coloured yarn.
... and, came earlier, a beautiful-as-always card, a-gorgeous bookmark and yummy yarn (boy, is it so obvious? my mero"yarn" thingy?) hee hee . they are from yanE ...

Thank you to both of you. You people sure do know how to make my day! *wink*

Mini Sorting 3 2009 (Hogwarts at Ravelry)

Today is Mini Sorting (3) day at ravelry. So here it goes :

There once was a hat that was crafted
To assist the students getting drafted
To one of four houses
So no one grouses
Well enough no one felt shafted
This hat ensure the forefounders traditions
And follows their original missions
To gather young minds
Who think all in kind
And train them in magic acquisitions
Ravenclaws are for thinkers and planners
Slytherins gather ambition in all manners
Gryffindors are brave
But don’t always behave
Hufflepuffs are loyal enchanters
Today we sort a new passel of new students
Into one of four houses each represents
To Crochet or Knit
Which craft does fit
With Great Fun and Mirth enjoy our events!

The hat then stops moving. Apparently it is done with its Sorting Song.

... and

I was sorted to HUFFLEPUFF!!!!!! yay! Actually I've been crossing my fingers to be sorted in Hufflepuff. Why? Because they have Edward Cullen! LOL (note: I'm OCD occay). How do this happened?

Yes, Cedric Diggory was not dead, he was changed into a vampire and changed his name to Edward Cullen (you know.. security reason). What? Mr Ijat never went through that in any of Harry Potter's book? Of course you don't because it's only happens here - in my world of make believe.. Am I sound insane?

O! my world of make believe ... here I come .. again (thee hee hee)

Two bunnies and a cat

The sweet bunnies pattern is from irenestrange. you can visit her page here. She has some other cute stuff to make too. The cat (yes, he's a cat) pattern can be found here. It is in japanese but the chart is easy to read. It has another two cat pattern which I am so ambitous to make. :D

By the way, I think I have to put a mouth to the cat before I send him to Liz.

Missing Mistletoe

I made this for Hogwart's Missing mistletoe challenge and gathered 15 points for hafflepuff. yay!

Headband made at height of 30,000ft from sea level

ecehhhh... yerps.. crochet this headband in a plane (ewah!) to and fro sabah.. land below the wind .. yeah! i love the colour!

Moko for Alisha

Ainul (Alisha's mom) saw Moko's picture and wanted one for her baby girl. She wants Moko in red because Alisha loves red. So Moko is in red. The little one is little Moko to be hung on Alisha's diapers bag. I have to redo knittingturnip's pattern a bit to suit the size. I hope she's don't mind. And if you like Moko, you can always visit knittingturnip's other creation at her blog. She is a great artist. Moko is her free pattern.

My Favourite Corner

My New Toy

I bought this antique from Kak Murni with a good price. An antique I might say for it's a third hand! But it still work like new because Kak Murni had changed the motor and everything new. It's just the body that is ancient. I love my new toy. he he

I'm Reading this Book

...right now.

Moko the Cat

he's from knittingturnip's free pattern. I finished him while looking after Anas at the hospital recently.

When an Alien Feels at Home

My recent place always a foreign country to me. I always thought of it as my transit. So, on my last day there, suddenly, there's an angel or at least three, let me know that I was home. She gave me this. She had her hands on it for about a week. Knowing my hands are all hot (I'm hot bebeh! LOL) she pampered this beautiful art and gave it to me. I feel really loved/liked. And of course, I love it too!

So Nadia, or irma, or Syu or anybody who knows Kak pah and read this, tell her I am so happy to have such a friend like her and I will not let the art dry. Will always keep it fresh and firm like I always keep her in my heart.

Thank you very much Kak Pah. and you too, Nadia and Syu. Will miss you guys always. (will put your gift in my blog soon. at the moments, takde tempat lagik lor)

4 Books in Less than One Month

This is the third book from the box. Eclipse. The story destressed me a bit because Bella cannot decide which one she loves. pathetic! hahahaha emo eh?

... and this is the final book. I bought the box on September 27 and finished the fourth book on October 20th, at 4.00pm (i know.. I know... I was at work that time.. LOL)

Generally, They are my favourite after harry potter (and this one had nothing to do with ijat's influence or what). It's my husband to be blame on this craze. Well, it's always good when you have somebody to blame. muahahahahaha

notakaki : camno nak rotate gambar tu eh?

My 2 Buttons and 2 Charms

I finally received from Anila Janssen (keljas) from the Netherland. Since I moved to the new home, my exchange package seldom reach me. I wonder why. This didn't happen during my stay at the old address. Maybe i have to check with the post office to find out why because my partner did send their packages to me. Pending now three packages. :( So whenever a package reach me I would be very happy.

The Addiction Continues

hehe... mrasa la nurul nun di sana... umpama menyerah diri... dan secara tak langsung.. suaminya yang baik itu juga terlibat. These are what Nurul help get for me. As usual, yarns,
and more yarns, and buttons. But mak tak tamak na... barang-barang tersebut adalah perkongsian bersama msdaisy dan cik kema yang sedang mabuk butang itu... ekekkekeek

Books and more books

Another thing beside yarns and hook that I addicted so much are books (vampire books..LOL). Nehhhh... actually it was a feeling of needing to brush my sewing skill so I bought this book. It's a good book for beginner though. If you think you want to learn how to sew your own baju kurung, this is the book I would recommend. And these I bought out of my addiction - the magazine I mean.. hee hee pricey here ( we can get a good novel with the price.. but .. once a while it make no harm eh?). The stitching directory got 25% less the time I bought. Okay la tu kannnn

And So Now

I'm reading the second book from the box: The New Moon.

I am Reading

... this book from this box in 4 days and finished. I can say it's a record for now because I had so many things in hand. But those can wait. It all happened when I was lobbied by husband to watch the movie for quite a long time ago. It didn't come to my interest until last Friday and wow! I was dazzled. Dashed to the bookstore and grab the box. If the movie was good, the book will be better. And now I'm under the cursed of the vampire. keh keh keh ... furthermore, with a vampire this hot, who could say no? definitely not me. muahahahahahah (evil laugh). some more arr... he drives a volvo you know.. LOL

Phewww... it's been a long time since I last pick a bead and sew them on somebody's dress. Recently Jijah sent me two pairs of dress (baju raya occay) for beading. She's my loyal customer ( memang dia aje pun sorang yg rajin menempah...) ekekekekekek So.. the bajus ... The picture again so blur because the camera is so cikai one ... hee hee
