"Mommy feed you"... & "Feed Mommy"...

These are the 2 sentences that i hear everyday from my 2 little gals. Big Ray who is going to be 3 years old next month can't differentiate the word "YOU", "YOUR" and "ME".

She often said,
- "I want Mommy feed you" instead of 'I want Mommy feed me'

- "Popo (Grandma) take out your pampers" instead of  'Popo, take out my pampers'
   (which my mom always replied with a big grin  =)  - I don't wear pampers!)

- "Daddy play with you! Daddy play with you! instead of  'Daddy play with me'

and many more funny phrases. She's picking up what people said to her and well, sometimes i'm surprised by what she said.

As for Little Jay, she's picking up quite fast too. She can say short sentences like "I want drink", "I want play" and the cutest of all - "Feed mommy" instead of  'Mommy feed'. Also, if you bring her something that she doesn't want she'll keep on saying "no,no,no,no,no". I'm trying very hard to get her to say 'yes,yes,yes,yes,yes'  (>.<)

Watching them learn to speak was quite fun, especially when both of them are speaking their own gibberish language (it's like watching the minnions, haha) And the best of all is you can actually understand what they are trying to tell you even they pronounce the words wrongly. My husband will always ask me to translate when he doesn't get what his daughters are saying, so do my mom and sis. Guess, this is part of the Joy of Motherhood.

p/s: these photos were taken during a recent trip to Teluk Cempedak, Kuantan. Nice & beautiful sandy beach they have and it is much cleaner than Port Dickson.

Stool Cover ^.^

There are so many things that i wanted to sew/make after blog walking to various crafts blogs. The list is never ending! it just keep on growing!!

Anyhow, this stool got the priority first because it really need some touching up (notice the fabric sticker at the middle part?) Yup, it had a small hole courtesy of my eldest daughter and then it just grows... at first, i only used half a patch of the fabric adhesive but now i need to use 2 patch of fabric adhesive. On top of that, Big Ray and Little Jay loves to dig out the fabric adhesive - toddlers!
So i guess the best thing to do is to sew up a cover for the poor stool.

 

I've been wondering what type of cover shall i make? one with applique or a plain one? and i settle for this little patchwork. Well, this is my first time trying the patchwork stuffs so i just did a few blocks. I really admired those peoples who sew quilts and paper piecing stuffs. So much details and hard work goes to each piece of their works. I don't think i have that type of patience (heheheh)...

And for the reverse side, i have choose a purple paisley design fabric from my stash of fabrics (which my mum had thrown out - hehe i collect small pieces of fabrics which my mum doesn't want anymore ^.^ )

I personally prefer the purple side. Guess i need to to practice on my patchwork more!
My sewing skills are just so so, but i believe someday I'll get better ~ with lots of practices of course.
And a millions thanks to all crafts bloggers out there in the world wide web that put up so many tutorials and tips to help out people like me - Thank You ! =)
