not in a good mood

Today I'm not in a good mood, although it's weekend already. I know it's not a good thing to write, but I just want to express whatever I feel so I can feel much better after that.
Some people commented that my baby boy is too skinny, and he might have some worms inside his tummy .. I hope that's not true ..
All of my 3 kids just suffered from a fever this week, yes it's been a tough week for us. Their weight might be decreasing.
I've been postponing my kids vaccination schedule because of their diseases .. Thank God 2 of 3 kids are healthy today, so our job for the next few days it too fulfill their appetite so they can compensate their weight loss.
I just registered my second child preschool. Everyday I always update my budget sheet .. and whenever I go to the market I always told myself not too buy anything apart from my plan (hate doing it :( ) .. but it's for our own good sake.
Whenever I feel bad like this I always want to do shopping, and I've been longing for fabric shopping for weeks now :( I know I already had lots of fabrics, but having many patterns is good for my creativity :)
Alhamdulillah one customer of mine ordered another dress for her child, it's using shirring method which is new for me. I just shirred the front part. I plan to make the pattern today, hopefully I can finish the dress on sunday.

Oh and also, my dearest baby boy birthday is yesterday! we didn't do anything fancy, just order a 3D cars birthday cake and my kids blowing the candle in the morning. Dek Al, bunda loves you soo much, bunda did make some prayers for you, it's not only for your birthday.. Bunda tries to do it as often as bunda could :)


Another news, I found a dress made by overseas designer quite similar like the dress I made a year ago !!
I feel so overwhelmed, *ge er maksudnya :)

moms knit top

My mom bought this knit fabric for her top, she asked me to sew it.. Oh, as long as the fabric is not too expensive I'd love to do it. I trace her top to make the pattern, the chest part supposed to be wavy .. after I sewed it, it turned out very odd .. I cut it, and try again.. after several attempts I use straight cut for the chest and it turned out okay, but resulting in a shorter top (too short for my mom) :P I'm sorry mom, better luck next time ^^
Another project is remodel my daughter's legging .. the legging is supposed to have ruffles in its bottom, but I don't know what I was thinking at that time, I only used half part of my cut fabrics .. so the ruffle is not too puffy. I want to remodel it using lace fabrics, it takes only 5 minutes to cut the old ruffle and sew the new lace fabric. Love the result.

planning my 2nd child preschool

I've been browsing and surveying some preschool near our house ..
it seems so easy when I did this 2 years ago for my oldest .. but now that my oldest will enter primary next year .. and my second will enter kindy too next year, I'm calculating and .. I have to take a very deep breath .. the numbers are there ..
my husband and I will have to work hard in making .. planning.. budgeting.. executing everything in order for us to achieve the goals; able to put our kids in their dream school with our own money ..
Fingers crossed .. believe in ourselves that we can do it .. God will lead us the way .. Insya Allah ..

dc cupcakes


I just watched the serial last night, and I love it! together with junior master chef Australia is a perfect weekend wrapped up for me. My daughter like it as well she began to draw picture of cakes with some figurine (picture soon), and she insisted me to make that cake last night. I was so tired and I didn't have any cake supplies .. so I passed it, she cried and I have to persuade her and make her calm.

I promise I will buy the cake supplies tomorrow so we can bake anytime we like. And make cupcakes !
I was horrible in making big cakes (it failed the first time and I have no courage to make the second one) .. and it will result in huge cake and no body can finish it so it ended up in trash :( that's why I prefer baking small amount of cookies or cakes (cupcakes sounds good rite ?).
