On another note, I’m in search of a book for Mia, entitle “I’m the Big Sister”, or “My new baby brother/sister”, or any kind of sibling preparation books. Masa tanak I could find suchs book, but now tak jumpa la pulak. Well, it’s just one of my steps into getting Mia ready for the new baby. So IF you guys happened to find any of those books, do inform me. Much thanks in advance peeps!!
After being more than a year with my sewing hobby, my fabric collection has grew tremendously and so does those fab scraps. Like any crazy sewer, am sure you’ll have plenty, if not tons of it.
Timing couldn’t be any better, as I found few supercute tutorial and ideas of what to do w those scrappie! How could I not imagine those scrappies can turn into something cute and wearable! Like this cute headband,chic necklace ruffles , tube top and many more. The possibility is endless! ). Actually there’s more ideas, will update on those link later later. Tons of fun things have you guys made out of fabric scraps
Anyways, here’s my Mia wearing mommy’s creation of ruffles headband for her.

ideas and inspiration

Look at that cute hat! Would love to dress up like this! V.typical Japanese uh. But of course, not with my condition right now.
I grew to love Japanese arts and crafts for quite a while now. There are so many kawaii stuff online, from their clothing, fabrics! and most definitely their crafting ideas are oh! am so inspired. Many times, I would go “that’s cute!”, “Now that’s pure genius” but most times “why didn’t I think of that?”.
O well, here’s one of my many favorite jap’s site, some are old and some are couples of news ones I found.
Japan Couture Addict- this site is written in French, so you might need to use google language tool for translation
Japan Craft Journal – her first entry dated May 16,09 makes me wanna go back to BKK!
Kawaii Crafter – whatelse, all kawaii!
Sew I Do – a very talented Indonesian resides in Japan!
http://movinghands.wordpress.com- she has an extensive Japanese sewing and pattern terms
http://www.fjx.co.jp/sewingcom/sewing – free sewing pattern

On the same note, a dear friend who just got back from her hols in Japan brought a gift for me, this utterly cuuute matryoshka clip together with an owl notepad. O Love love! Thank you dear, how v.thoughtful of you.

And while we’re in topic of Japan, I couldn’t stop thinking of Ultraman. You see, my daughter has started to have interest in watching it ( pick up frm bbsitter’s place). She would go ‘Hee-yak’ with funny hand-action to us, (tapi lemah lembut still) say “A-men” pelat like that. Thankgoodness she did not lift up her leg. Oh Dear!

Happy,
my mia

“sugar and spice,and everything nice,that’s what little girls are made of”
Mia’s babyhood picture took via my mobile. She was 4month-6mth-ish. Yerp,feeling a little nostalgic as you can see. Couldn’t help it wondering how mango would look like. More of daddy looks, or myself. Should be interesting.

Now,big girl d’…but petite still. And veeery manja and clingy too I might add. Yes, she knows and I know too as to why.
