Happy Teacher's Day

Ehm..sebetulnya agak telat postingnya karena di India Teacher's Day jatuh pada tanggal 5 SEPTEMBER.

So sebelumnya, to all my teacher friends

"HAPPY TEACHER'S DAY"

Di India sini, Teacher's Day di rayakan di sekolah-sekolah dengan meriah. Setiap murid membawa kartu, bunga atau kado kecil lainnya utk guru-guru mereka. Pada saat ini toko-toko kartu (Archie's) selalu penuh dengan orang tua murid ataupun anak-anak sekolah/kuliah yang akan membeli kartu ucapan.

Tahun ini di sekolah Rizqi & Raihan, gurunya menulis pesan supaya membuat handmade cards *untungnya emaknya suka liat postingan teman-teman yg membuat handmade kartu *

Seperti biasa pemberitahuan sudah 2 hari sebelumnya, tapi dasar sok sibuk, saya lupa baru ingat kalo ada "tugas" membuat kartu tadi. Well, sebetulnya si anaknya yg harus bikin, tp karena udah malem & they will make a mess instead of making the card, jadi emaknya yg ngebut bikin kartu ha ha ha....setelah bongkar-bongkar "our small room" , nemu deh kertas kuning. Tapi mau diapain?? Spidol ada juga udah "setengah habis", yah tp di paksain masih bisa lah buat nulis. Trus telp. Bapaknya anak-anak, tolong di print-kan tulisan Happy teacher's day huehehe...maksa.com deh pokoknya. Setelah itu giliran bongkar-bongkar koleksi pita di ruang jahit a.k.a dapur , nemu beberapa pita yg lumayan bisa dipake & juga fabric glue buat nempelinnya.

So, setelah sejam berkutat dengan perlengkapan tersebut diatas, ini dia hasilnya:

Setelah membuat kartu ini, saya semakin salut & kagum dengan teman-teman yang seakan ngga kehabisan ide membuat kartu & papercraft lainnya...

Bags and everything else

Been making lots of small bags (pouches) these days...and busy with my first venture HERE, and my exhibition next month..I feel like 24 hours is never enough if you have to do all by your self. Anyway, my dear Mom inLaw is really BIG support since she helps me a lot with looking after the kids (though I have maid, but can trust them nowadays??), so that I have a little time to do this and that..:) ..thats including Blogging and I'm too much into blogging in my other BLOG nowadays. And I got lots of stuff to upload to my ETSY shop and havent taken any photos cos my cam just refused to work. Thankfully my Dearest Hubby got another one for me after seeing me struggling with editing each and every photos I took using my handycam..:X Isn't he sweet??

OK enough about ranting, now I want to talk about these little bags I made. Well, one is finished and when I pulled the zipper, i just gave away!!!.Now what do I do?? I hate ~repeat H*A*T*E ~ opening it again since it means I have to open everything and start making it all over again. So I do the next best thing, by putting it away till I got better idea what to do with it. *Anyone ???*

so, here they are: (pssstt! the stripe one at the back is the one having prob. with the zip:D)

Oh and I started learing CROCHET too, by the way. I've seen my friend here making pretty crochet stuff that I decided I have to learn. Well, this aunt of my DH knows about it and she tought me a little bit before she went to visit her DD, so here it is:

I did the neck line and the mirror work (what's the best word to describe it actually??) just to give a little accent there. This is is my fave fabric. Pure cotton with this print. Though it's quite common here in INDIA but still I love the print. I had one in Pink and Green too...:D. If you like it, you can take a look at the detail of the tunic HERE

Hmm..that's all for today...hope you all have a great weekends...just remember: Stay healthy, eat healthy and Have a nice CRAFTY day...;)
