Welcome to My humble Scribblings, where I scribble on normal, daily happenings (which sometimes I take for granted), and on emotional expressions which are most often difficult to do verbally. I don't offer much except for sweet memories, self-reflection, and probably some new lessons for life. Happy Reading!

newborn niece

my baby sister, (sometimes i still feel that she's still a baby)... i still remember when i was 13 and she was 3, she would come with mom to visit me at hostel. she was cute then, and she's grown to a beautiful lady. just last thursday, the 30th June, she delivered her first baby, named Amirah Nabilah, and that's the latest addition to my big family. Amirah is the 8th grandchild of my parents. My own kids are very excited about the new baby. They cuddled, kissed, smooched, and put the baby on their laps, everything. Unfortunately, my camera battery was flat that i didnt manage to snap their photos ;(.

But luckily I did snap this cute 'little suzy' stitched to the blanket we gave Amirah...


unfinished - without back stitch and the baby is still in the womb ;). design taken from the best cross stitch collection mag

finished - the piece sewn on the blanket. (can you spot the error?)
We hope that Amirah will be happy cozily wrapped in this blanket.
Semoga Amirah menjadi anak solehah dunia akhirat....

The following photos are abducted from the daddy's fb album heheheh....



comel kannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn......

the other side of me

my mom is a fulltime housewife, and i admire her (of course, everyone should theirs, rite?). dulu masa kecik2, mak selalu bawak pegi masuk kelas mengait, sulam2an, masak2, mengaji, marhaban, dan macam2 lagi. baju kami adik beradik, memang lah tak pernah orang lain yang jahit kecuali mak yang jahit. even gunting rambut pun, mak yang buat. apatah lagi hal masak memasak ni, rasanya tak pernah makan kat luar. I know McD for the first time, masa matriks di shah alam, itupun roommate yg memang orang KL yang bawa masuk. other than that, my first lesson of muqaddam is also from my mom, and khatam al-quran also from her.

kan best kalau semua skills yang mak ada tu turun kat aku... tapi aku yakin memang ada, cuma tidak dicungkil saje bakatnya... what i know is, sometimes keinginan utk (for e.g.) menjahit tu ada, tapi tak tau nak start macamana, nak masak yang best2 tu ada, tp mcm tak confident, nak gunting rambut anak sendiri tp takut tak cantik lah pulak...

but, one thing for sure, i like doing cross stitch. memanglah benda ni dah sangat lama, i mean, teknologi lama. dulu2 mak memang encourage buat benda ni. the problem is me. susah sungguh nak siapkan satu2 benda. mak always said, 'bila dah mulakan satu pekerjaan, kena habiskan, jangan tinggal separuh jalan'. tu lah...

so di sini i try (word 'try' sbb tak tau lagi cara nak letak pic) letak some of the cross stitch yg selamat disiapkan...
