Finally MBS @ PeMANIK is registered !!!

2011-03-25T11:08:00.000-07:00

As the Committee Members busy doing the preparation for MBS 1st Gathering on this coming Sunday, we received a very very good news. Alhamdulillah, finally Jabatan Pendaftaran Pertubuhan Selangor has approved our application as a registered society. MBS is now registered as Persatuan Pengusaha & Peminat Manik (PeMANIK) with Registration No. 158-11-SE on 23 March 2011.

Some of the Committee Members were at De Palma In Shah Alam discussing with the hotel on the arrangement for the event when our President, Datin Elly Lillies and Lavendar received a phone call from our Advisor, Imass Seni Jahitan who broke the news. Everybody screamed to their joy upon hearing this. After all hard work & sacrifice finally our dreams come true. I really missed this moment as I just left the hotel few minutes later.

This news comes so timely, juz days before our event - MBS 1st Gathering. So far, we have received an overhelming response from beaders, with 88 (a nice number, good sign) people has registered. So look up for the next post from me on MBS 1s Gathering on 27 March 2011 at De Palma Inn Shah Alam.

Beading - A Stress Therapy

2011-01-25T16:40:00.000-08:00

That wuz what posted in Harian Metro, 26 January 2011. An article about a group of ladies (they're all my beading frenz.. !!!) choose beading as their hobby. Other than juz to fill up their free leisure hours, they managed to generate some income from their hobby. And the best part, they known each other for past a year via Facebook.

We normally meet once a week or more, to discuss on our beadworks. We also do share our knowledge among each other on some beading techniques. On top of that, some of us do conduct beading classes for those who are in interested to venture more into beads embroidery.

I wuz not there during the photoshoot, as I had some other appointment to attend. Ho.. ho.. I missed this golden opportunity. I wuz told some of them had even received calls, sms & messages in their FB enquiring about their beading services after their contact numbers and blog links were posted in the article. So can I called them as 'Celeb Beaders'.. ?? Ho ho ho.. i missed the boat (I wannabe the Celeb Beader too, LOL)

Dear Potential Customer, Can You Call Me Back

2010-11-30T16:18:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I received a phone call from someone (sorry, I forgot her name) asking about the Rose Garden design that I stitched for Ju. She promised to call me back which she did. Unfortunately I didn't manage to grab the phone on time to answer. There's a number listed over my phone screen but when I dialed the number, it's a main hunting line of TNB.

To my dearest potential customer, if you happened to read this posting can you call/sms me back. Sorry I didn't able to answer your call yesterday as the rings stopped I could pressed the button 'answer'.

Rose Garden

2010-11-28T18:22:00.000-08:00

Ju sent me her baju kurung for some beadswork way before Ramadhan and I stitched this Rose Garden design (inspired by Geejai of Art of Beads but I did some alternation) for her. She requested the beadswork for neck area (5 inch length) and for the sleeves.

As she's wearing headscarf, after Hari Raya she sent back her baju kurung to increase the 5" length to 12" length for the neckline, plus extra beadworks for the sleeves.

BEFORE - 5" length for neck area

AFTER - 12" length for neck area

BEFORE

AFTER - additional beadswork for both sleeves

Needlecraft is My Passions...

2010-10-25T18:20:00.000-07:00

As far as I remember, my love in needlecraft started when I was in my Year 1 in primary school. I always look forward for our needlecraft session where I started learning stitch an X on gingham. Soon later our teacher will teach us some other stitches.

Later, I learnt to keep myself busy at JB Public Library the same year and there I found myself a book on crochet. I remember I told my dad to buy me some crochet needles & yarns, and he bought me my 1st yarn - a dark blue colour. This is where my love in crochet started.

After more than 20 yrs I started seriously cross stitching. I'm glad I found many local cross stitchers who share the same passion as mine. I also introduce myself to tatting, thanks to my sifu Faizon. And I do take up some short courses on curtain makings. At least I can sew my own curtains whenever i like.

And now I'm into beads & sequins embroideries on baju kurung/kebaya or blouses for almost 2 yrs. I started my small business in beads & sequins embroideries services this year, and Alhamdulillah the business goes well. I will share some of my beadworks done for my customers in another posting.

What I want to point here.. Needlecraft is my passions, and if my passions can generate some income, it's a blessed.

note : I'm really pissed off with someone who look down on my passions and my small business. Juz remember : 'life is like a wheel...'

lotsa love from me,

Sequins Flowers Called Pink Roses

2010-01-31T15:20:00.000-08:00

I'm always amazed how beaders created some flowers, using beads, sequins & pearls. They're are all sooo so beautiful yet intricate. Sometimes I spent almost hours looking at the photos of these flowers, analyzing how to they're made.

The moment my sister in law gave me her jubah to work on, I already decided to stitch sequins flowers on it. So for my 2nd project, I use pink & milky sequins with red beads and white pearls to add some colours to her light brown jubah. On the overall, I still not satisfied with my work. I know I need more practice in order to get the perfect skills.

lotsa love from me,

My (not so) Newly Found Love...

2010-01-30T01:03:00.000-08:00

Beads & Sequins Embroidery is something new to me. Due to difficulty to get back to employment for almost 1 year, I decided to pick up beads & sequins embroidery. I signed up for a class by Amoi2505 some time in April 2009. Before this, many of my friends has been persuaded me to learn beads & sequins embroidery so that I could generate some income from beading. Although I'm a bit hesitate at early stage, but later I found that I'm falling in love again - this time with beads & sequins !

The 20 techniques I learnt from my beads embroidery class.

My 1st beads embroidery wuz pyramid design on my old orangy baju kurung. I wanted to mix orange and turquoise beads for this design. But I couldn't find the right turqoise beads, so I opt for dark brown & orange combination instead. For this simple design, it took me MONTHS to complete juz for both hands. Ha.. ha.. ha.. it's not bcoz I'm slow but I could not find time to complete it after I get back to working life. BTW, I finally get a job a month after my beads embroidery class.

My 1st ever creations - combination of orange & brown pyramid design

So far other than this pyramid designs, I have been working on 2-3 other projects and will show it here, later...

lotsa love from me,
