+alhamdulillah, finally~

 bismillahirahmanirrahim.. my last entry was in may. been away to welcome our second daughter, alhamdulillah. a little about our latest addition, ya?

her name is Farah Liyana Binti Khalil. she was born on the 23rd of july 2012, in Assunta Hospital. the special thing about Liyana's delivery date is, it's the same date as her EDD, and she was born naturally, subhanallah. Kun fa ya kun~* 

a bit busy with both Nayli and Liyana. but, recently Najiha Craft Boutique was launched. one step at a time. slowly adding new products. the main purpose is to share~ iAllah will be sharing some tutorials too! 

i am not a good teacher.. 
maybe some of En. Khalil's tricks will help!

okay, that's that! 

*all my not-for-sale-stuff will be posted here, as usual, iAllah~ hihi~

*been thinking to-move or not-to-move to other blog adress... love this blog soooo much~*

+hand-stitched scented plushies

latest craze, doodle stitching~! 

using kain belacu and some thread, stuffed with polyfill.

scented by a spoon of lavender(from Serendipity Lavender Farm).

 

they are fully hand-stitched, size about 5cm by 5cm.

 

still in the process of completing the range, it'll be fully girlish theme~*

"No Thanks!" tibe2 keluar from Nayli's mouth.. :)

so, she's been working very hard(24/7, none stop.. unless if she's sleeping/"tutu"ing..) for the last few weeks.. trying to memorise ABC song, barney's songs, and all the videos she's been watching all day... imitating the characters.. from Ponyo to "the extra in Spiderman 2"! yeah, it's quite nyaring if it's the screaming part when octavious climb the office building~! hmm.. that's okay, Sayang.. do what you gotta do~

been busy with Oaties orders and some wedding item for an Old Bestfriend~ ;)
a guestbook and rosettes~ below is the rosettes... 50pcs.. :D alhamdulillah, siap! now kene siapkan guestbook. felt+some hand embroidery on unbleached cotton~ GO GREEN~!! :D



finally managed to make some amigurumi for Little Baby.. hasrat yg dah lama terpendam... dah siap satu, macam2 yg lain muncul dalam kepala... end up making lots of strawberries and some veggies(baby carrots and orange are not in picture*)~ she even keep the baby carrot(not in picture) in the fridge~! O_o

Mummy&Nayli

it's been a while since the last time i illustrate~ :(
today was a lovely day, at 3 in the morning.. Little Baby was sleeping.. quickly open the Adobe Illustrator cs5 program~! and that's the result.. Mummy&Nayli.. i have problem in illustrating guy/boy.. dont know why... maybe, i should make illustrating as a weekly event.. tidaklah rugi ambil jurusan Multimedia selama 3 tahun itu~ walaupun selama belajar, mmg takde pun silibus yang ajar illustrator!! :( sedih! belajar sendiri2 dengan bantuan Hubby(that time bukan hubby lagi.. masih my dear~ ) illustrator is a must know software, to me. i did ajar my 11years old sis to use the program, not just illustrator, photoshop too~.. now she's 16years old dah.. :)

okay, tukar topik!! been busy with my craft project. dah buat branding(logo, chup! blog address), iAllah maybe akan daftar dgn ssm, insyaAllah~! :)
memandangkan saya sangat suka bidang ini, will do it the right way~ iAllah, yang lain2 Allah aturkan~ for the time being, still on my oldfriend's wedding.. 50crochet flower rosette and a handmade guestbook design~ :) the rosette are all done, and iAllah will focus on the guestbook now~ might be publishing the pictures, once dah serah to her, iAllah~ :)

last but not least, i'm addicted to deviantart now!! masuk je situ, boleh hilang akal tengok those talented people~!! huhu... boleh visit my little page here~ still new, still learning~

*in Islam, in life, in business, in motherhood, in familyhood... i'm still learning..

crochet leaves~*
been wanting to make flower garland for quite a while.. been searching for some cute simple leaves to go on the garland~* i came across this tutorial here!!
now, i'm addicted to it~! great~* been working on a project right now...
*should i sell it...? or just keep it in my treasure box?!? :/


yay! finally Little Baby got her Tutu~! whoot~ whoot~*
been eyeing on the no sew Tutu for soooo long!! but, as usual... made my mind to just make something different! some crafter kind of Tutu~ hentam jelah segala teknik jahitan..


the hujung~ buat keputusan untuk biar the hujung macam ni.. kurang skit gatal2... :)


RAINBOW is our latest fav colour~! :D

yang menjadi guideline adelah my childhood memories~*
handmade nightgown, dresses, baju barbie dolls~! my first cross-stitch project~, batu seremban, chop from ubi kentang, homework pendidikan seni(yang my mom tolong~*),
and all the handmade flowers she creates~
my mom is a crafter~ she's a home maker~ been watching(kadang2 helping) her all these years..

what keeps me going is Mr Hubby yang sgt2 supportive... tak sangke dapat suami yg appreciate hal2 craft ku ni... :)

Little Baby pun membantu jugak, sebab sentiasa happy kalau Mummy pass her some handmade stuff~!

love to share all my craft with my adik-beradik(7girls!!), masing2 ada talent masing2 in craft world~! so, that's a bonus for me~*
