... Blooming Flowers

I have to admit that my flower arrangement skill pretty bad. The very last time I did, was the topiary flowers which I did about 2 years back So when my office mate request me to arrange some flowers, I only promised her with two words : 'I'll try.."

That weekend, I went to Romantika Shah Alam to shop for flowers. At the same time, tried to see how they arranged the flowers. And I went back home with big heart - I want to polish back my flower arrangement skills.

After hours playing with dried sponge & dried flowers, I finally made FOUR bouquets, not TWO as requested by my office mate.

I sold this to the office at RM 40. Is it too cheap or too expensive ?

and sold this too at RM 25

and kept these two at home, as no buyers yet..

I love if you could leave some comments on my flower arrangement. Since I'm still new, I wish to improve my flower arrangement skills. Who knows, this will generate side income for me..

lotsa love from me,

5th Blogaversary Giveaway Extension Date

Since the Hari Raya Aidil Fitri will be celebrated on 20 September 2009 and the last day to participate in my 5th Blogaversary Giveaway is on 19 September 2009, I have decided to EXTEND my 5th Blogaversary Giveaway until 30 September 2009 @ 11.55 p.m.

The reasons for the extension merely on the followings :

• I'll be travelling back to Johor for my Hari Raya Aidil Fitri celebration at my parents' house (yeahh.. this year is Johor's turn !) on 19 September 2009, and will only be back after 24 September 2009

• It's the eve of Hari Raya... so lotsa things to be done on that night - especially the last minutes preparations

• I'll be busy helping mom & sisters cooking rendang, ketupat, sambal kacang, sambal tumis udang and kuah masak lodeh (a compulsory), ermm... yummy !!!

• Lastly, I'm not too sure of the internet connection at my hometown - whether Celcom Broadband work well there..

So, I guess the extension is justified. At the same time, I hope more ppl will be joining my giveaway as currently there are less than 10 ppl joining... sob.. sob.. sob.. (ermm.. my blog not popular lorr.. - of-course laa, as I seldom keep it updated, hik hik..)

And for those who are interested with the goodies but did not owned any blogs, you can just leave your comments HERE and email me back to inform me your participation. Let's make it easy....

lotsa love from me,

I feel so lucky enuf to win this crocheted flower felt hairpin (see photo) from Melorgarden. Aren't they so cute ? And they will be all mine, hik hik.. Nope, Melor did not give me all three. I have to pick one, but I dunno which one to choose as all them are so cute. I want all three, so I buy the other two.. LOL

Jon's Thread Escapade Tripple Celebrations

I had always wanted to learn tatting for umpteen years. And I wuz lucky enuf to got the chance to learn from my sifu Jon @ Faizon of Jon's Thread Escapade. I thought learning tatting is pretty easy like how I learnt crochet before. This time my judgement is wrong. I remember how my fingers are so stiff & I cant even flip & make a ring. But my sifu Jon is such a patience teacher, who never give up in teaching. I've to admit, I learnt tatting half way & yet to complete the whole lessons thou Jon keep on telling me, to let her know whenever I'm ready to grab the shuttles again.


Well, I would like to share my sifu Tripple Celebrations in the month of August :

1. She's going to celebrate her 3rd Blogoversary on 26 August 2009 (I'm gonna celebrate mine in another 4 days !)
2. She's also going to celebrate her birthday in the month of August too...
3. Lastly, Jon going to come out with her 2nd book on tatting. Jon has put much effort in producing her tatting books. I simply love all the patterns that she's created before.

For her Tripple Celebrations in August, Jon is giving away signed copies of her new book to 3 lucky winners. I believe this is something I can't resist. A tatting book (of-course with patterns & instructions) made by a Malaysian. After all, she's my tatting sifu !!

lotsa love from me,
