Ribbons are beautiful

I just love ribbons! Ribbon embroidery (RE) is a very fine art of embroidery... Wish this one is my very own handmade... Dream on girl.. (errr.. I bought this)... I wonder when can I start making one for my own? This RE handbag is made by Maklang, from Kerteh Trengganu. Beautiful indeed... I love it.

I also bought an RE kit for my own to practice (are you sure Jurra?? you're taking RE online classes and yet nothing has been done so far..) ... hehehe

PS: Maklang or Kak Umi... gimme a lil "kick" to get my homework done!!! So lazy me...

And lastly, Maklang has given me this very meaningful gift, all handmade from her kind heart.. Its a Yassin covered by a handmade flowery fabric cover & tasbih made of glass beads.

Thank you Maklang for your kind thoughts... also thank you for being my friend. We will meet someday. Insya Allah..!

Play around with beautiful ribbons

I received this book yesterday which I've bought from the original author.

Puan Suzana Mustafa - which also the owner of http://www.wanitamelayu.com/

This book is great! Its worth buying for those who are really into embroidery sewing.

Only RM39.00 + $4 pos express charges.

Wow, exclusive from the author, I even got her signature.

Nah.. to excited to try this new thing.. See my first Ribbon Embroidery.

I made it last nite!

Well.. this is good enuf for a start. Its not quite "kemas" yet.. still need to get my hand get used to hold an embroidery needle.. Ouch.. Painful lah! Eventhough I used the crosstich fabric whith lotsa holes, piercing the needle together with big ribbons is so damn painful.. (tak biase kot)

Long time no embroidery.. eversince primary school leh..

I'm going to try more..

Stay tuned my friends.

p/s: A very special thanks to my new virtual web friend Cheq-Sue for her inspiring website. I learn a lot of ideas from there. Get to know her, she's great!
