RUG FOR A MUG OR A CUP OF TEA?

Early this morning, I found my glasses with a broken handle..handle, is it a correct term to use? I need them to sew and to surf. O well..need to buy a new pair then..

But somehow I managed to sew a mug rug..

This one measures 9" by 11"

I used scraps given by Rosni of nykolett

The other side of the rug.

I did not use interfacing since the material is thick enough by itself.

hmm..looks like I need a new camera too :)

FABRIC FLOWERS MAKE DOORKNOB DECORATION

MY NEW SHOPPING BAG

Roomy..

Light and bright...

Can be folded....

Ok..here's the story, last Sunday I went to my stepmum's house and discovered the material among others in her store room.

I cannot put a name to it but I can describe it as..very light, almost waterproof, very durable.

So I thought this sort of material will make great shopping bags mainly because it can be folded and take little space in the handbag. Keep it handy and anytime you make an unplanned shopping spree...there you have an extra bag to carry your goodies.

I brought home meters of the same design and others as shown below. If you are interested to buy, it is RM10 per meter excluding postage.

One meter of material can make 2 shopping bags.

NO 1

NO2

NO3

NO 4 is the one which I have sewn into a bag.

Extra info : NO1, NO2 and NO4 are of same type of material ...which I still do not know what to call it :) NO3 is a little bit thicker.

All material imported from South Korea.

My stepmum is Korean :)

SMALL WINDOW DRESSING

My small window all dressed up.

This is my old day curtain, perhaps 4 or 5 years pld.

I fold up the lower part about 11"...

...then sew along the folded part, giving allowance of about an inch.

Take a piece of ribbon, secure to a safety pin and push through the sewn part.

Pull the ribbon to form gathers.

Take another look :)

JAM DI PUSING?

Baca suratkhabar harini dan biasalah perempuan bagi tumpuan pada artikel pasal perempuan.

SANGGUL???

Sanggul yang dihias macam zaman 50an..60an..

Sekarang bukan lagi zaman jahiliyah..kita semua tahu rambut itu AURAT dan WAJIB

DITUTUP!

Lagi satu yang penting ialah soal mahram. Tak kan lelaki pulak nak dandan rambut.

ISH ISH.....

MY TEMPLATE..ALL TATTERED

My very first 'ala ariani' template.

All patched and tattered.

I have used this template since December 2008 to make new templates for my students

and for those who bought kits. Of course I always explain this is basic

and the shape and length and can be changed as desired.

It has served me well..but then it has become too worn out and need

to be replaced.Probably have to say 'goodbye' soon..sadly :(

JALAN MASJID INDIA ON SUNDAY 5 JUNE 2011..hmmm

....so I did a little shopping at Jln Bunos off Jln Masjid India yesterday. My daughter tagged along, since the incident where I slipped and broke my wrist one of my children will accompany me on my shopping trips..I still cannot carry heavy loads with my left hand.

What I'm relating is not what I buy but what I see.....:)

What did I see... not a common scene but a very clean stretch of road...no cars double parked...no petty traders in front of the mosque...not a single piece of debris...and lots of DBKL and police personnels. Aha...a dignitary is paying visit so the big banners say.

Wished I brought my camera so I could snap a few pictures...and how I wish the scenario is a permanent one.
