Stripe Cardigan

Finally my baby's cardie is 98% completed.

No buttons yet.. and a some itsy-bitsy seams to be sewn..

Embroidered hankie

I made an embroidery design of "Maya" on her hand towel hankie..

My hands are still not that steady yet.. with sewing needles.. Long time I never done any embroidery..

Cuddles Maya's lil teddy..

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!

My special Yarn Organiser..

Look at my latest invention of "Yarn Organiser"..

Haven't got the time to "embellish" it yet.. It comes from raw material (Maya's Enfagrow box)

I'm in the process of making a "Stripe Cardigan" for Maya..

Its easy to put my yarns inside this box, since I had to use 3 balls of different color yarn, at least I can keep my yarn safe & clean & of course tidy.

For a start, I'm knitting the cardie by making the "back" side of the cardie. I'm using a bamboo 4.5mm needle, not that that bad.. Although its faster to use an aluminium straight or circular needle, but I managed to complete the back part in just 2 days ( err... not full 24hr-day ya.. I only got 2-3hrs per day to spare after Maya sleeps...)

Tada... done 1st phase, back of the cardie..

To be continued...

Sippy bottle tote

I knit this little tote bag for Maya's sippy bottle for her to carry it around and easy to hang inside the car.. Theres no pattern for this.. I simply made it with my leftovers yarn..

Luckily it fits the bottle.

I can also tote along Maya's small flask. But its a bit too heavy for the yarn to hold the weight..
