Living with Sarah

Minggu yang agak busy. We have one confirmed training. Since my batuk tak baik-baik dah dekat 6 bulan, I am in no position to conduct a training. Nanti participants semua lari dengar akak batuk kokol. Ok, I tak lah batuk sentiasa. Tapi once triggered... not a pretty sight :). So, dalam proses mengupdate training materials dan slides yang dah lama tak sentuh. Banyak benda baru nak include especially current issues and technologies. Hubby jugak kena conduct nanti... Sambil buat slides, that consulting work yang Hubby buat full-time dan I buat part-time tu dah memerlukan deliverable. Meeting dengan "boss" project, being briefed on previous project and now I have to come up with report on current business assessment. Maka bertimbunlah report yang berkaitan dan tidak berkaitan yang perlu dibaca. Baru bukak satu terus mengantuk! Anyway, I posted one of my felt craft kat Carousell and I got my first customer! Yeay! Ok la, not really first customer. First customer was Hubby yang ...

Stress-reliever. Never would have thought I would actually enjoy sewing and making crafts. So far sudah berjaya membuat beberapa ketul love-shaped felt keychains. Rasa nak buat business out of this lah. Open for orders :)

Completed my 2nd felt craft- bookmark kontot. Sebab kainnya memang sikit saja. A gift to Hubby even though he's not a bookworm. I am. Must make myself one :). But he keeps my bookmark in his wallet!  One side cupcake... One side butterfly! Nowadays, every night I would work on my little "studio". My writing table in my bedroom has been converted into a workbench. My rabun dekat got the help of one LED table lamp and one LED reading lamp plugged to my laptop. So, quite a good working environment. Usually, lepas tengok Big Bang Theory, start work :).  Today spent almost a day at The Mines with Linda researching our project at Spotlight. Memang best but a bit pricey. At least dapat ilmu baru :). So, we parted with each having tasks of our own. We'll start with simple felt craft first before we do that secret project. Yeay! Anyway, quite tiring 2 days of spending time at malls. Semalam Hubby and I had a meeting in Putrajaya. So dropped Aliyah and her f...

For the past 2 weeks, I've been researching this field of handicraft that really interest me. As time goes by, when I actually try doing it, it really is difficult. Nampak macam senang. What I plan to do is - secret for now. In the midst of research phase. I think the best way is to go to a class and really learn how to do it. Anyway, one branch from that handicraft field is felt art. Amazing stuff. Also, nampak macam senang tapi tak lah senang. Mulanya plan nak pegi buat research dengan Linda esok, tapi hari ni pun dah jumpa barang-barangnya. Hari ni Aliyah patut pergi hangout dengan kawan-kawan dia kat IOI City Mall. Tapi last minute, sorang backed out due to an emergency. Mula-mula muka tension macam mati kucing. So I thought, since I'm the one supposed to drive the girls, might as well take the day off and hangout with her. So, hari ni spend setengah hari ukur mall. Berjaya membeli jeans baru setelah jeans lama koyak setelah bertahun-tahun pakai. Half price at Parkson. ...

A friend shared one very interesting video a few days ago and ever since I've been having all these ideas in my head for a new project. I memang banyak idea. Nak buat je slow sikit sebab tak ada modal :(. However, this is something I got very passionate about. Because it would be one of the first toys I would've bought for Aliyah if I knew it existed. Some 13 years ago that is! Back then, we did buy her toys that stimulated her senses. I remember one of my ex-bosses Ida gave this caterpillar cloth book that Aliyah really loved. Know what, that little caterpillar still exists! Another toy she loved as a baby was this Chicken that has a belly full of small balls that she loved to shake. With small wings that has this funny texture. I think there's aluminium foil in it. And the chicken, too, still exists. Anyway, this morning Aliyah went to Festival Belia with her friend, chaperoned by her elder sisters. So, I had time for myself. And I experimented based on my "lesso...
