:: Giveaway :: Strawberry Pincushions!

In the midst of busyness last week, I couldn’t help myself to these strawberries… Along the way, I was already thinking to myself, that I can bring this out if I am going for a craft lesson, leave the big ones at home, grab this and go! or pin one at my working board or maybe hang one around my bag……. many thoughts flowed in

They are just so cute and I have made more than what I need  So, I would like to giveaway some as an appreciation!!

pink-floral (left), beige-with-words (middle left), pink-white-floral (middle right), dark-green-floral (right), lighter-green-floral (missing from pic)

I have five and green is missing in these pictures…. green is one of my favorite color and YES! I have actually thought of keeping that for myself… but …. nope, I am willing to let go of it. However, I didn’t have time to take another picture… so we will leave that as a mystery green, okay?!  These cute pins are included too!

So.

:: lovelies.. aren’t they colorful?

Ever since, I become a mother, I love everything colorful! Yes, I used to have lots of black for my daily wear to work, but now, after staying home for 8 years, I love colors!

These put a smile to my face…. almost done, but not yet!

Each day passes by too fast and before I know it, it is end of the day, especially these few months. I think I have too many on my plate ~ driving practice took most of my time (twice a week) for about 3 hours, other than that, schooling (our priority), and come chores (shared among me and children) and then what I love to do ~ sewing!

“Slow down a bit!”, my heart says. But can my hands obey??

Next is what I love most, embroidery by hand… it is quite therapeutic, I think I have mentioned this many times but it’s true. What I love best before I finished off an item is to have some form of hand stitching… it can be just a simple close-up using slip stitches or a simple name embroidery. It somehow completes the look and also, I-feel-satisfied after a long busy day *funny I am, I know*

Completed items? Next post!

Blessed day! ~jean.

:: my mother’s day gift :: thankful!

This year, for the past 5 months, it has been a lot of sickness for us (me and the two children), in and out the clinic many times, high fevers, lack of sleep and all these put together did make me think of how my mum survived throughout those years when we (five of us) were young and me always falling sick. I don’t recall her showing her displease or temper due to lack of sleep.

I learn to appreciate my mum more after I become a mother myself and this year, I made her a simple lap quilt to keep her legs warm as she travels with my dad.

Totally love the hand stitching part of it as it is pretty therapeutic after a day of busyness.

She is a cheerful and elegant lady in my eyes. Why? because she has that special smile and calmness in her even when she is unwell. So, I chose all the colorful print and added a sweet red tulip fabric as the border, combining both to reflect what a wonderful mother she is to me.

As I had mentioned in my Facebook page that this lap quilt is not the most perfect one as there are flaws… but I hope she will use it and not keep it

* Just a short note to say how thankful I am to GOD, to friends and new friends who bought my handmade … words cannot describe the joy I have… thank you!!

Have a blessed weekend! ~jean.
