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.

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 !!

Among My 1st Ever Cross Stitch...

Eerrmmm.. It been ages since the very last time I hold my cross stitch needles. I wanted to stitch but been distracted with so many other crafts. But, for sure I'm not giving up on my cross stitch. Hope, I will continue again.. one day..

Well while playing with the puter, I remember my webshot account. Lucky I remember my ID & password, LOL.. so long I didnt update anything there.

So I would like to share one my 1st ever completed cross stitch projects so far. It wuz stitched in 2004 - the year, when I start picking u p my cross stitch needles again. This is sp ecially stitched for Shirley for her birthday. I hope she still have this in her collection. Oppss.. her birthday is coming next week !!

See the aida ? I stitched this on aida 10 ct. I think th is the only aida I found nearby my area. Later I've upgraded myself to 11ct , 16ct & 18ct as well to linen. Among all, I think I like 16ct & linen d best.

For this flower bouquet.. I didnt remember where I keep this piece. It should be in one of the XS mags in my collection. But I remember this piece very well, as I used to stitch this in the car on my way to work, of course with DH driving.. hik hik..

Check Your Website Speed

For quite some time, I realised my blog is getting slower & slower. During a chat with Zalita, she suggest that I start using Firefox. And I found it a bit.. a bit.. arr.. better with Firefox, compared to IE though I still feel my blog is still slow. I do checked with other friends, and their comments : well.., nope.. I can easily accessed to your blog easily. But I still not satisfied.

Today, while bloghopping I found the answer - from Din3187 blog. He wrote here about checking your website speed using the web tool from iwebtool. If the test result shown your blog is more than 200KB, it means your website is slow and you should minimise some widgets or gadgets.

Upon checking, this is the result. My blog size is 328.31 KB, with load time 0.28 seconds. urrmmm..



So my feeling is right.. Now i must get rid some of the widgets & gadgets from my blog. Do you have any suggestions, which widgets & gadgets in my blog that I shud remove ?

For those you would like to check your website speed, you can check it here..
