7, eight, 9, ten,11...Hmm.. let's just fast forward everything to February 2013 shall we

Whooooaaaa..I'm wayyy behind!

My cik kak is now 11 and a half months old! Still hairless, toothless but can stand still without support for like half a minute and have started to take baby steps. She loves to eat (she will go to anyone she sees chewing haha!) and very good at imitating. But one thing I can say about her is that she's a very manja girl  (and a garang one too. Shhhh!).

Kimi is in standard four now (Wow! Time really flies!). Hafiy who turned 6 last January goes to a new kindy this year. Akif and Sofya stays with mommy and become mommy's little helper . Erkkk...yayy? Lol!

My sister got married early this month. Alhamdulillah, everything went well. I was the 'event manager' for that meaningful day..so I'm sure you can imagine how hectic life was for me few weeks back.
Nevertheless, I still make time to sew for my cik kak. Her attire for the whole event was fully sponsored by Itsy Doodles hehe. (In return she has to agree to model for Itsy Doodles) *big grin*



So..these are what I sewn for her...

Everyday Play Dress for majlis akad nikah (solemnization)

May Dress (square neck) reception on our side (bride's)

Tinkerbell top (shirred sleeves & waist), Skirt and a new hat

For the time being..I think Sofya has more than enough dress to wear. So I guess I won't be sewing her anything anytime soon. *I hope I can refrain. LOL!*

What I Picked Up, Put Down and Baby at Two Months

It has been 3 months since I last posted anything. Today, while going through my blog..i realised how I miss those days when I had time to blog about my babies, my sewing activities..breastfeeding.. well..practically about anything I want.Hopefully..more post will follow after this one ;)

*Few post will back date on things that happened since the last time I wrote until today*

While I was pregnant with Sofya, I learned tatting. The word 'tatting' was new to me when I first heard of it. Until today, this is what i managed to make..few rings with picots.

Then, after I was done with my confinement, I picked up knitting. Me and a few friends meet up and were taught on knitting basics by sifoo Rozi. During the two hours class, I learned how to cast on and the knit stitch. I was not ready for purl. Bought the circular needle set for beginner so I could practice.

And here is my practise piece hehe...

On Sofya...here is a pic of her at 2 months old and weighs 4.0 kg. Her first time wearing a skirt. Paired it with a romper. Easy!

Another pic wearing another skirt. Because of this pic, I named this skirt the Peek-A-Boo skirt ;). and yes, I made the diaper cover too.

Now, she can still wear these skirts. Used to be knee length. But now they have become mini skirts. Lol!

Love Note : Able to sew for a girl is a bless :).

More Missy Totes...Super Gorgeous!

I find them absolutely GORGEOUS! I think i have over used the word GORGEOUS whenever i decribe designer cotton (not my handmade ya ;). But i couldn't find other words to described them better. Nasib je takde girls..if not, would have kept all for her/them hehehe.

 
What's even great is that they are reversible! 

Inspired by the tutorial given by Little Girl Pearl

Little Missy Tote

Have been wanting to make totes for girls. Had an idea on the design. Gave it a try, but it was a little complicated to make. After all, it is meant for girls. So it should be sweet, nice & simple.
Consulted my 'partner-in-crime' and she emailed me an idea.

Here's the results : Delish Missy Tote
