Pretty mugs

Nowadays I pay attention to a lot of details of my life. I treasure every moments I have... and enjoy every bits of my time including when I sipped my coffee in the morning.. with my favorite mug of course.
Speaking of mugs... Did anyone has a favorite one ? or you just don't really care about mugs anyway ? as long as you can drink from it right ? LOL
but for me ( now ) drinking from lovely mugs is different.
Mine is a pretty flowery mugs with Red and White roses...
But I still missing something ...  what I need now is a Mug Rug....
If I don't have at least one Mug Rug, then I can't say I pay attention to the details right ? ... LOL...
I will make one... 

Under the mug is my log cabin quilt... but it is for a table cloth... not a mug rug...
I need one... I want one ( or more ) to complete my ritual coffee morning...
Do you have a mug rug ? share with me.... I want to see.. :)

I am still learning for not ignoring the small details of my life.

Baby Toys

I found the different me...  I am content and live my life with more passion and  know the purpose of my life is to be a blessing for others cause I am blessed abundantly. Thanks be to God...oh Joy.

I'm so grateful for all that I have in my life... a lovely family.. a bunch of friends to share my time with... my mind, my talent, my health,.. oh the list will be long of course....

Once I label myself as a Quilter... I came out as a different person. Don't you  feel the same ? It was  like I will pay attention to a small details... like I am inspired with nature as I did my morning walk around neighborhood, like I am really attracted to colors more than before... like I'm saving money for the next fabric hunting... and always eager to do something new. I don't limit myself for only making a Quilt. I make dolls, bags, handmade accessories and toys... Yes baby toys !

Making things for your family is one thing a quilter does..
and I make this baby toys for learning colors for my baby.. ( ooh I never  imagine that I'll make this for my own baby.. )


Colorful and Fun..

Be a Quilter and beyond..... :)

Quilted Bag

I have made Quilts,  toys, doll... and now  I made this useful  Quilted bag with a darling doll head as a brooch.

This bag carry my yarn or books and changing cloth or even a baby bottle :) .

Actually this fabric is a table cloth... I might spilled coffee or anything that makes a yellow spot... so.. I can't use it as a table cloth anymore..But I love this fabric and it is a heavier than cotton. so just perfect for sturdy bag.
I cut it.. and make this a simple square bag..
still useful, that's what I like.

Too plain to just leave it without this art doll face... 

 
I choose to be Happy today.. :)

Bali Bedcover

Bali has their own unique Batik pattern.. I'm talking about Bali Bed cover.. the one that are done with Batik process and they put the color like they are painting on the cloth. After they are done doing the top then they machine quilt it usually following the lines.
My mom has  a beautiful one.. covering her bed...

This Bed cover only use one color. This one is my mom's color choices... but sure not mine. It's oke with me if this done in only one color.. I've one that are painted in only  blue color ... but actually my color choices is more colorful..

I just found out that we can order this Bedcover custom made and they can make it with our design. Wow... I just have to try...
Hmmm.. I'm better drawing now... :)

Now, keep yourself warm in this cold month.. better with a Quilt for sure...because under a quilt you'll feel warmth and love...

I've been busy cleaning up my studio for a few days...
Yes... it takes days.... 

I dig some of unfinished project... I don't want to pile all those project unattended any longer.. I want things all done well so every body can enjoy them... instead of  hidden in my junk closet.
ooh well,  it is easier said than done.

I found this little doll they are faceless... ( for a long time ) ooh I am so sorry... so I just need to work on their face.. and I do it right away. No more.. tomorrow.
Yeay me... wow, usually I get excited when doing a new project, but now I felt like my hands are needed.
 I can't finished this in one day... ooh my ... it seems like an easy things to do... but can't do it easily.
ooh well, at least they are on my desk now... 

This is how they are.. when I found them...

so glad to see them smiles.... 
I heart them so much...
Now... you see how they are so pretty with black and blue eyes.. and those little red lips... need more embellishment to make them more attractive...

These ladies will be function as a Pin Cushion.. they are soft and perfect to put all those pin in place. Fun and Functional. I like it.

Still more works to do...1 more junk drawer to dig in..

Felt great to be able to have energy to  finished what I've started. :)

Senangnya punya energi untuk menyelesaikan kerjaan yang sekian lama sudah tertunda...
Yuuuk mariiiii aku beresin kerjaan dulu yaa...

Amigurumi

This Japanese craft of softie crocheted toys caught my eyes. I see them in the first time while browsing a book about crochet ... then when I eager to learn ... i just google for the pattern... See.. if there is a will... there is a way.... :)

They are so cute.. and as you increase your skill.. you can make anything you can imagine..
Wow !

I was  so curious how this things were made... so..I tried one, and another one and another one... this is addicted.

Always try with a small project...

The feeling of accomplishment is incredible, and take you to keep wanting doing it....

All you need to know is a basic crochet and off you go... learning how to read the pattern is not difficult. You just have to try it yourself !

Sesuatu yang baru memang menyenangkan ! salah satunya bagi saya adalah membuat Amigurumi . Amigurumi adalah salah satu kerajinan jepang yang menggunakan tehnik merajut.
Sekali mencoba, pasti tidak mau lepas dari benang dan hakken....
Yuk.. kita coba


This is a Cup cake amigurumi dan little hat amigurumi. I made this as a pincushion. It is lovely, isn't it ?

First turtle...

New York Beauty ( another UFO )

New York Beauty... is just awesome

This is a meticilous project to make... it looks very gorgeous... I always want to make this kind of quilt for a long time...
but life is sure flowing... now I just can't wait any longer 'til my life slowing down... 

IF NOT NOW.. WHEN... ?

Yes... so I dare my self and committed to make it.. but  this project become an UFO  ( Un Finished Object ) for a long time...
But my heart still whisper to finished it...
Because if I really did it, then this Quilt become a great accomplishment for me... 
Hope to get there soon...  

Let's dream it... Wish it... and Do it... ( the last part is not that easy though ) LOL

I pick lots of bright colors.. against the dark solid fabric to make them speak more..
I don't really measure how many yard I have for one fabrics.. it doesn't need that much for 1 block.
so mixing and matching is what I do here...

Look at those sharp edges... wooo hoooo... Love it.
I need to make lots of those blocks... 
before piecing those blocks together and make a stunning Quilt... I can't wait...

If This Quilt is finished... then I'll be proud of myself..
( Certainly will pat myself on the back ) LOL. and I already have a spot to hang it on the wall... hopefully become a conversation piece to every one that come to my house... :)
 
New York Beauty ... itu Quilt yang gue banget.... ha ha ha.. rasanya kalau bisa menyelesaikannya... Waaah bisa2 ngga malu lagi untuk menjerit dan menceritakan pada dunia...  Yes... finally I did it. gituuuuu...
Tapi.... ( selalu ada tapi yah ) bikin Quilt itu ngga semudah kalau tinggal melihatnya aja.... prosesnya itu lo..
Proses yang panjang  suka bikin Quilt jadi proyek yang suka di tinggal2, belum lagi kalau mood hilang... belum lagi kalau anak nangis.... belum masak.. belum kerjaan rumah lain.. belum ini .. belum itu.... banyak alasan deh...

Tapi kan ngga boleh terus terusan cari alasan ya... kita harus juga dorong diri kita untuk cari waktu... kan katanya sedikit sedikit jadi bukit... 

Sebenarnya ngga sabar pengen kasih liat kalau Quilt ini udah jadi... tapi... kesabaran memang harus diuji... ha ha..

Ok dehhh sampai post berikutnya yaa.. semoga jadi nih Quilt. Kalau memang beneran jadi.. bakal jadi Quilt kebanggaan deh... 
Pastinya  bakal di posting disini ... :)

Keep Calm and sew on...
