Weekends Update

I haven’t been well for the last 4 days..:( But today I feel much better after taking much needed rest & just relaxing with the kids. The General Election in our state has come and gone yesterday. I don’t have voting rights so I just enjoyed the holiday but doing spring cleaning, throwing lots of broken toys and torn magazines. Rearranging the store room and my verandah so I have a little space to display my stuff, just in case someone want to come and take a look at my stuff. All these time I just kept them nicely folded in the trunks..:D

I also found few fabrics from my making-pouch-days. I made few pouches for swap with my Indonesian friends when I went home last January and I made for my sisters too.




They made of handwoven cotton and some made of Indian Silk brocade . Handwoven cotton is most sturdy if you want to make bags or purses. I usually made my son’s summer shorts from this type of cotton too. It’s very comfortable.
I have listed few Indian Fabrics HERE.



Anyway, the yellow frock from my previous Post finally finished and my friend was very happy it



and I made receiving blankets for her too. It’s Cotton with cotton voil lining. She’s going to have the baby this summer.




In between making all these frocks I managed to finish one Ribbon embroidery for the Spring Swap and still one more to make..:D Aready got few ideas in mind, just hope I get a little time to do it..:D


This weekends I have 2 frocks to complete, just few handstitching & embroidery to be done and they’re ready for delivery..I just hope my tummy is fine..I stick to porridge and Dal (lentil soup) for my staple today..:D

Have a great weekends

Kid's Mail Swap: Got 3 of them so far

My elder son likes to play "office office", which mean he has his own office "set up" and on "office day" (which mean holidays) he will dress up and sit in his "office table" pretending to write or just doing computer's work. he also collects his father's or uncle's junk letters to put his briefcase.

So Rizqi was so excited the moment my DH gave him 3 envelopes!. He saw HIS NAME was written on it..NOT his father's name or his uncle's ( we live in join family).

Yup, he got his first installment of the KID''s MAIL SWAP: 3 letters from Australia...he's so excited that he kept them in the folder, neatly and carry it around the house and showed them off to everyone...^_^

From Luca

"Ooww...this is Train" he squeels "and this waterfall is just like our Shillong one". and his name pasted on the card made him more excited.

From Hugo

Rizqi carzy about stickers too...thanks a lot. He sticks them in his (steel) cupboard and his scrap books

From Caleb:

We love then handpainting, Rizqi said "ooh I've done this in school too". He seems pretty surprise that somebody so far away does the same thing..^_*

To Luca, Hugo & Caleb Thanks alot and we hope you too got yours ^_^
