Sweet Memories

I have been scrolling through some old photos while transferring some new ones into my desktop and found myself laughing and smiling looking at them. Photos sure does bring back those sweet moments. It also reminds me of how time flies and how fast my baby girls have grown to be toddlers now.

I will cherished these moments with me forever. Love you all! Muacks!

"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.

I've been Bitten by the Lazy Bug... & a Watermelon Pencil Case

Hah, I'm back... finally. Caught the lazy bug flu after the holidays (hehehe >_< )


I've been 'lepaking' around and getting excited with the 505 election news and reports. Everyone was so excited about it and seriously, this is the very first time i felt a sense of UNITY among all MALAYSIANS. Anyway, the election is now over, and it's time to get back to life and hopefully our future will be a Bright one.

Oh yes, we had a trip to Legoland before the election - my husband hometown is in Johor, so we went back a few days earlier to spend some time with Grandpa & Grandma. Will upload some pictures later :)


And something i sew up recently,

Yeah... it's another zipper project for me. I decided to make a big pencil case, so i can chuck all my daughter's colour pencils and crayons IN! At first, i thought of an Orange design but then on second thought, a Watermelon would be easier. =P

I uses felt and the lining is some scrap fabric i found from my mom's stash..hehe :)
the stitching is a bit rough ( i'll try to improve in future projects !)

Polka dot lining

Holidays Stuffs ^^

Hi Hi gals!
Just been back from a holiday...and a tiring one!
So this post will be a quick update on a few items that was done before the holiday.
Well, i should have post this earlier but really didn't have the time and Big Ray was down with fever just a few days before our flight (oh gosh! that just got me panicking!!!)
Fortunately, she got well a day before our flight... =)

Okie, so here goes the list...


Fabric Belt

Make these fabric belt for Big Ray & Little Jay so that their jeans would stay put hehehe...
I would prefer toddlers to wear something with elastic and require no belts (easier for mommy to change their diaper) but since the weather is a bit cold i decided to let them have a few pair of jeans around.



Passport Holder

This is the first ever passport holder that i make with 4 slots and a little zipper pocket to keep some money & coins. All these while i've never use a passport holder but since i'm travelling with my 2 gals along, i'll need this to keep our passport together. I really loved the fabric and the out come of this holder but Silly Me, i miscalculate the seam allowances and MY PASSPORT COULD NOT FIT IN! Can you imagine how i felt then? ... =(

After spending the whole day with my mood turned to cloudy, i took out my stash of fabric and look for some materials to do a new one. And this time, i'll make sure i get the right measurement. And so this was it, my passport holder.

It was a combination of yellow & grey colour.  I think this was lovely too and the most important thing is - it fits the Passport. ^^ (I did not iron it beforehand hehe... so it looks so wrinkly)




Luggage Tag

Tadaa... aren't these luggage tags cute? I saw lots of fabric luggage tags tutorials on the web but i wanted something cute and bright so i ended up with these. I used felt for all of them except for the red matryoshka doll which i added a fabric as the dress ( it's pretty easy, just wrap a piece of fabric around the felt with fabric glue and sew them together). The transparent slot is actually book wrapper -  i bought the thicker plastic type from Popular Bookstore. Big Ray loves the Hello Kitty one. I actually put some poly fiber fill in the hello kitty one but the result is not as good as the flats one because the slots behind seems like 'puff up' if you notice from the picture below.

No-Knit Scarf

This was actually from a tutorial i found from Martha Stewart Crafts website. If you are interested, you can find the tutorial here. As i don't know how to knit, this was the next best thing to do. I think i can handle knots much better than knitting and i love the outcome of it ^^ .

I bought a ball of yarn from Daiso. Well, i did not follow the exact measurement because i don't have enough yarn so i basically divide them accordingly. Lucky me, it suits a toddler just nice.

And for the process of tying the knots, i hung up the yarn instead of laying them down which i find easier. (hehe... those hangers are  really old stuffs)  The first few knots got me thinking if i'm doing the right thing but trust your instinct, you'll get the hang of it after a while.




Thermometer Pouch

I always carry a thermometer whenever my gals are going for balik kampung or any trips which required more than 1 day. The original pouch was spoilt - the zipper came off  so i cut the pieces up and make one my own.

Notice the zipper part which was torn? It actually have me cracking up my head a bit sewing this pouch because of the curves and again i did not allocate enough seam allowances. Thus the pouch was a bit out of shape i guess...but fortunately, the thermometer still managed to squeeze in! Whew!

That's the front view in the picture above and the inside lining (picture below). I think i'll do this again sometime in the future - and to get the right measurement.

Well, that's all for this post. Next , i'll be posting about our holiday trip to China. See ya ! ^^

Bus Ride

My gals have not been for a bus ride before, so we planned to do it during the holiday. Well, as we know they will get restless after some time, we just went for a short ride to one of the shopping malls nearby. Little Jay was bored at first but after some time she got to her usual self and started to climb around. Big Sis Ray on the other hand was enjoying the view and keep on asking us to get down at every stop! =)

We managed to snap some photos at the mall :D

Cameron Highlands Trip

Well, this post should be here 2 months back, but ... ( let's not go to the excuses part )
I brought my daughters to Cameron Highlands for a 2 day 1 night trip with my mom, sis & cousins. Since the weather is quite cold, I decided to sew a cozy scarf and hat for my two babes..hehe :)

This is what i bought from Daiso (i love that shop so much that being in there just make me feel happy) - Puffy Pants & Hand Warmer. I bought 2 sets of puffy hand warmer and a pair of puffy pants. For the scarf, all you need to do is sew the ends together so you'll get a scarf that is just nice for a toddler and baby. While for the hat, i cut the puffy pants in half and sew a somewhat curve line (as indicated by the Purple color dotted line) both sides and you'll get 2 hats. The puffy materials is very stretchable and soft and the best thing is it helps to hide all the imperfections of my sewing (hehe =P ) I also bought a bunny applique for the scarf and added flower to the hat. That's all, isn't it simple.


Check out the photos below of my daughters wearing the cozy scarf & hat. (I apologized for the image quality..it's hard taking picture of them cause they are constantly moving around.)

Passion Fruit

Yeay! we've got a fruit! =)  My mum planted this passion fruit tree a year ago and we were all waiting anxiously for it to bear fruits. She got the sapling from my aunt and her tree was bearing so much fruits. We waited and waited and waited but no fruit was found, guess we don't have 'green fingers' after all. It came as a surprise to us as we were clearing away the dried leaves, we found this fruit hidden by the leaves! Finally, we saw the tree bearing fruit.

Now, there are many flowers blooming around...hoping to get some bees and more passion fruits please. =)
