:)

i'd finished my 2ndYBSS. after some trial errors and a revised pattern. they're ready to be send out . soon :)

good day!

mixture of feelings when EQ badly defeated

wow! it has been zero posting for 2 weeks here :) well, you can't blame me for being MIA. it's *SPRING*! spring is wonderful with the right weather.. fresh air... flowers blooming.. and it always ring with spring cleaning! and i even saw people are having spring-break in their blogs. everyone is experiencing some spring-ness on their own! :) which is so nice if you have spring in your region. *and we never have spring here. ok. you can blame me for MIA then.* lol! infact, our tropical climate is so unpredictable and don't ask me when is our monsoon season because i can't tell anymore , places are getting drier and places are getting flash flood unexpectedly :/ . ok let's get back to the main reason of me being MIA. i was so anticipated! you see, spring is a good time too for re-organizing, moving or removing or even re-stoking! i was so delighted when i came upon some of the most fabulous fabric shop online re-organizing their stock by having spring sale! whoohoo~ for me, who will never care about 'spring cleaning', has jumped into 'spring re-stoking' turbo mode!

first, was the good-ness shop which was a sad news at first knowing it will be closed. and so begun the ever tempting session with my heart beating so crazy when she started with 20% off and then the free fabric, next the 40% off and lastly the closing sale of 50% off. gosh! it was like standing next to a roller coaster ride waiting the right time to hop in! i was so crazy like that. what?! i was so hungry for fabrics! lol! it's been so long i didn't buy any. please excuse my insane-ness :} so, you must be guessing i must have made a whoopee BIG purchased at the end? nope. well, i can't act when $ don't coordinate :/ (i just afford to grab 2)

and so the regretful mood kick in seeing one after one gorgeous fabric being snapped up :{ but i was enjoying the show. people were buying so fast! lol. it's a great bargain really.

despair no more when bee square started her moving sale! oh gosh again! what should i do?! 35% off certainly makes my legs wobbly.

i couldn't think logically any more eventhough existing $ (not equal) to spending $. these fabrics were in my wanting list for so long!! i must bring them home. this time. i'm so happy ! that i did :)

so excited seeing this too! the cutest putidepome! :)

my journey hadn't stop yet. not when the unexpected spring sale from sonatine came along right after my splurged. gosh x100 times! i was still floating up in the air! my senses haven't come back united yet. i couldn't be halted. i was going full gear, i was in frenzy filling up my cart with loads of beautiful fabrics! i'm so happy !! again :)

this huff & puff piggies was so cute! no harm having them in 3 colors ;)

these 2 were a big missed last time when they were such a hit and i saw them all over the blogland. i got them now finally and whoa~ they were really so cute.

fabrics parcel like this really made my day :) and i'm sure it doesn't come often. i'm sure it won't happen again. after my husband show me the not so beautiful statement of the credit card bill :(

oh, but perhaps one day when i was in illogical mode again...

nah.

working slowly

still building little cottages and started

working on my 2ndYBSS.. slowly.

design + construction + sewing + matching + supplies + time = 3 specky-surprises in the process! :)

good day to you!!

thanks!

thanks trashy, lucy and alice for playing in my 2ndYBSS!! a little something will be on your way soon!! :) i'm sorry for any passerby or any regular if you drop by today and saw i'd closed the specky-surprise so soon. but i think i can just manage to whip up something for 3 lucky persons this year.

i'd read a very aspiration word long time ago that if you've nothing to do (besides all your regular chores and nothing that fun, of course) but you really wanted to do something and you've time limitations, just quit! lol. a very wise saying from a quilter you can guess! :) well, why not?! i certainly fit into that description. and i had that specific mission put in my sidebar for SO long already! my mission-to-completion of a quit la-la!~~ lol. :) so, i've started on it and i've been hand piecing in every spare minute i got. i was initially dislike doing the piecing by hand. it took so long to see the end result compared by using the machine. but there were differences in the quality .. the stiffness .. the alignment between two method. and hand piecing yielded a better result. and i gradually like the time when i hand pieced every part.. the quietness and the patience of doing it was quite relaxing indeed! :)

so far i've finished 29 and i need 'around' 60! i have yet decide on the size of the quit.

(blog) is 2-years old!

hi~

i'm still enjoying my blog break but i definitely couldn't miss my blog 2nd anniversary! :) this is so big for me to have this little space and find myself still babbling after 2 years. lol . but life has taken a little more time from me nowadays and i see myself a lot less in here :/ but i couldn't let it stop me from enjoying my most passionate secret moment : craft and sew with all my pretty fabrics! lol. speaking about fabrics... it's quite sometime i didn't spot any cute fabric that make me drool :}` have you?

and i've finally make a good use of these :) will share them soon on next post.

so, shall we celebrate today with a Specky-Surprise? this would be my 2nd-year-bloggysary' Specky-Surprise! comment away with anything. how about your current sewing/craft project? thanks for the fun! :)

edited : 2nd-year-bloggysary Specky-Surprise is now closed. thanks pals!

all done

for a good cause : to a good heart! :)

i've given up on searching my velcro tape :[ did the button holes instead :]

oh, happy valentine's day to all!!

help in so many ways

by this week i'm sure everyone had heard and knew about the awful news of what had happened in victoria, australia. losing your home and everything in this bad economy is already a deadlock. i couldn't even dare to imagine the pain of losing lives of our loved ones... i read the news on paper but i was totally not awared that blog-sphere was so happening doing lots of lots of work in so many ways offering help to the victims and all that affected in the bush fires. how super gracious is that! i'm so sorry of being so late to response.. probably i was too engaged sewing pillows! :/

apart from making direct donations to the Red Cross , there are so many kind bloggers out here who taking so much time and effort in creating more alternative ways for us to offer our most affordable help. all that i'd read from handmade help . we can even help by donating our stash! and the famous trashalou has organized a grand raffle! i was so glad i could offer my affordable help by contribute a cushion cover as prize. i am working on it right now, fast and furious .
