Deal With It, Please...!!!

.......

You know, there are some people out there that really really giving me hard times and tainting my positive energy. Look Sweety, we all have s**t things in our life, let's just deal with our own things and respect others lives. Don't pushed too hard for attentions....really Dear, we are busy with our own s**t. Unless you've also lost your Mom, must deal with the reality that came afterward with your Dad, your new family members, your siblings, etc. Realising that you're getting more distance with your own family, seeing your Dad is getting old and misses his grandchildren, understand that in his heart he's feeling lonely...and as his daughter you can do nothing....Then, knowing that slowly you loosing your Identity after marriage, only known as 'a Wife', 'a Mother', or 'an in-law'. You crafting as a therapy, as a distraction, and also helps you feel 'present'. Last but not least, you feel s**tty with all that (and honey, the List doesn't stop there...yet)...then I considered you get my point of 'Respect each others lives'.

I'm focus with my life and am in my journey to be more Religious now.....so please, don't make me start over again!

Thank you Dear, yes it's my birth-month ;), and....hei, we had a TV shot in the house and it'll be airing on BeritaSatu News Channel next Tuesday April 30th (that's what they said ;D).

My Birthday Little Girl...!


10 Things I Know About Alicia.....the-little-girl-who-just-turned-4 in the clan ;p :

1. She can wear flip-flops correctly. No more right-and-left-mixed-up....(finally *sigh)
2. The Rebellious chick....well, she's a bit a 'my way' missy...but, the adorable one :)
3. She's the most often to get penalties and to get yelled at...(and Mommy always feel sorry afterward)
4. BUT, she's the first kid who will rub your back and kiss your forehead when you sick...awww :*
5. She plays with the hardcore way with her siblings...although she always takes one of her dolls everywhere.
6. She loves to hug while sleeping :)
7. It's so hard to get her tidy up! -_-'
8. Now she's excited to learn to wear her own clothes.
9. She has good stamina....but sometimes it's a minus point when turned to too active.
10. She's sweet...so sweet I couldn't stand not to cuddle her even when I'm furiously mad at her.
......
Oh, wish I could go on with the list...


This cutie...



Has grown into

1st Cross stitch & 1st Knit Skirt


Happy Valentine, my Lovely Angels...! My Heart for you EVERY day :*

Oh, I started this month of love with a week of total bed rest. We are having an extreme rainy season since several months ago and it seems will continued on until I don't know when....therefore, diseases are everywhere, especially cough and cold. Unfortunately, Mommy was infected with these diseases badly.

Thank God now everything and everyone in the house are back to normal routine again now...Alhamdulillah ;)

Anyway, during my recovery, Mommy managed to knit a birthday present to my lovely niece, Sophia. I squeezed up my strength to knit two or three rounds everyday with the hope that I could catch up with the deadline...although I know it's impossible, and it is. Because finally *sense of relief*, it's done today...10 days later after her Birthday...upsy ;p. I used BERNAT Baby Jacquards 100g. It's my first time using this yarn...and I love it! Even though it's a bit slippery for me to knit but I love the warmth and the softness and the puffy feel of this yarn...favourite! The pattern is from Bernat Design Studio, you can check it out at Ravelry, and it's FREE!

Flash News!...
I'm Cross stitching! And I LOVE it! (^^,)

Puffy Water Dispenser Cover

Hi there Cupcakes..... ;*

First of all, I feel sorry for the Floods that hit Jakarta lately. Almost everyday we have a non-stop rain, and that caused Jakarta is fully paralyzed by floods today. However, I hope the Authority and the Community can cooperate together to overcome this disaster. And I'm hoping for the flood victims are all safe and well in their shelter....Amin
              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anyway, I finally finished my longest-time-ever crochet project. I let you take a peek in this post, and a week later I managed to wrap it up.......Woooshaaaa.....mission accomplished!!!





There's nothing fancy with this pattern. I just got inspired when seeing this puff stitch, and I have some cotton yarns which had no idea what will be made. So, tried to made a pattern for my water dispenser. And I didn't write down the pattern since the steps was created during the making, so.....sorry :(

BUT, if you like to make your own pattern from Puff stitch, here is a tutorial of How-to Crochet Puff stitch.

I'll see you later, Angels...it's getting chillin' here...brrrr!

Biggest Simple Things

Hi Angels....

Almost everyday is a rainy day here....freezing....but Mommy's still survive ;)

Anyway, two days ago -at a family gathering- I had a nice conversation with my cousin-in-law, Dannii. This lovely lady owns an online Kebaya boutique which produce beautiful and elegant Kebaya. You can visit her online boutique at Inade Kebaya. Since both of us love to create something and sell it...(well, I'm thinking of selling it ;p), so the conversation went on things that we (really) passionate about. I really had so much fun, and miraculously, it became some kind of creative booster for me! AND, I also got introduced to one of her friend who also owns an online boutique and produce her own collection...how great! 

Oh, I'm so grateful with our last talks, Dear Dannii..... I had so much fun, I got new supplier for my shop, I get a creative booster, I even got a slight courage to try taking part on craft bazaar or such. Look what have you gave me, Dannii?! Alhamdulillah, who would expect great things comes from a humble and fun conversation.....I didn't ;)!

So, since I fully recharged, as soon as I got home I picked my hybernating-for-almost-two-months crochet project and said to it..."Don't worry beautiful, I'll finish you now".....



Well, Angels.....what is your biggest Simple thing?
