Stop being worry

I need to tell myself over and over to stop being worry over nothing! I bet it's my nature alright. Why was I born under this sign *cancer*.. I am good hearted that's cool..but to be extra sensitive that is a headache. Hopefully I can cope with myself.. *sigh*. Today I tried to finish the "bikini project" but guess I couldn't manage to set up my zig zag stiches on top of my funny material fabric. This "many faces" fabric I adore so much only able to work with my serger. And I don't have cover stich feature... what to do!!!! My husband said my face look cleaner due to my illness. He said when I am sick.. I stop to being worry... ow.. there you go again. Worries means sick! So don't worry be happy! ow yeah ;)

Naughty cough

I have cough! so annoying. Everybody in the house are worrying coz I keep coughing and seems like I can't stop coughing... (not that I wished for that though). For the last few days I stayed at home. Do nothing but watching movies or browsing....*hey what's wrong with that?!* I completely stop being creative. Just can't do it now. I actually have a project waiting to finish. First time trial on making my own bikini. Should be a one day project this one. Eventhough I hate to make the strap..damn it!

Half Moon shape BAG

One hot sunny day came after a big rain the day before. I went to centro and had a look around with my NEW modified Charlie bag. Pretty huge isn't it.. Like it!!

Super star wannabe..Aha!

The whole look of d bag... Half moon shape.

Scottish mini skirt

This skirt I made from a leftover my mom in law one. Originally was a real scottish kilt with a real English wool. Too bad I don't have a picture of it before I refashioned it ;(

But It was only sufficient for the front panel, so the back part I cut from another fabric. Black, half velvet. The pattern from BWOF march 09. I modified though!

has two pockets on the side like the original pattern, skip the waistband so that the skirt fit on my hip. And make it short...short...short..

sorry for the image poor quality

Uova di pasqua

I thought the easter egg is only for under age, but hey I got one too so I wont envy those spoiled kids ...hahah... my father in law bought it for me. Cioccolato fondente (dark cocholate). I'll open it on sunday (easter) and get surprise by the "crapt" inside, which called "plastic-pathetic-gift". buona pasqua

yeaaaa.. its me just got up from my "beauty sleep" during d day ;)

One sunny day

first lizzard I saw on a spring day... cute isn't it

It was a lovely day, sunny, warm.. real spring after many windy days. We went to the park and stop by in Mc D for frappe. It was one horrible taste though. Guess what in d night I got diarea ;( But I was happy.

Cover me up "Faces" dress

Oh boy.. I'm happy now. I just finished my summery dress. How it is actually easy to make mommy bun happy ;). Total work around 2 days .... 5hours a day so 10 hours...ffiiuhhhh..

I use pattern bwof 09 for the top part and for the skirt (I like this one...flowing) part I trace from my "seducing skirt".. the one I used to use to seduced my husband with...ahahhahahha

The fabric is.... the "faces" motive... I'm so fallin with this one. Has so many faces from many cultures. Even Balinesse girl face!

Timeless

I wonder where is the time flying? Today I feel down so I thought I might have feel better if I sew. So I start to cut and sew and when I looked up at a time is 7 o'clock at night. Are u kidding me? Yesterday supposed to be 1st day of spring but It was super windy... collllldddd... Silly me I wore a thin coat coz I wanted to look good..yesterday was saturday night but then I get dusty when I visited my hubby in d flat so It was a total mistake. Catch cold n dusty on sat night. Great! Today fortunatelly is a sunny day. But what's the point sunny day outside but moody inside?

This dress is a result of a timeless... even poor me I don't have anyone to help me to take a picture

from BWOF!

Borneo printed bag

Hopi play inside mommybun's bag... can u see there is a printed Kalimantan map on it??!!

Weekend start today so I thought let me put my hand on sewing machine... and 40 minutes later i finished the unfinish-bag. The shoulder strap I bought in Leroy Marlin (1.60 euro/mtr). I struggle a bit on a circle side part... basically its a rectangle.. fold it make a tube..close the side part with round cut fabric. Insert zipper for opening.No pattern used.

Dreams

Dream..dream...dreammmmmsss... For the last few days I'm dreaming of baking cakes ... I know why coz after that cheese pound cake tragedy I still curious with the recipe and want to taim it. The other dream was making clothes. This one I think its just very natural to me for having such dream... I will make them real...soonerrrrr....

Lace Top

The skirt coming from my unwearable malissa which I took out the top part ..insert elastic and ta da ..turn out to be swingy adoreable skirt. Love it though! The fabric has so many tiny holes..cute... see through

you see... many holes

The black top I made from elastic lace.... transparant...also cute. I follow basic pattern Lidya after i altered. It is just like a shirt. Without zipper nor buttons... I'm so happy. I wore this combination on Indonesian meeting... which lately I find it a bit boring. I just cant go along with them...hehehehe.. This meeting every once a month is basically stuff urself with food... and "please enjoy yourself" or join the "boring" club!

oh whatever.. I think everybody has a right to entertaint themself anyhow. Right?!

Cheese Pound Cake tragedy!

I made this cake the other day for Indonesian meeting (arisan euy!).It was a disaster! the outside was hard and the inside (supposed to be soft n spongy) was uncooked properly. I wanted to cry... Huaaa..why!!??? I follow the instruction alright. And the worse was: i found out that the cake unproperly cook in the morning.

But then I remember I have this instant puff pastry and panna in the fridge. So I bake the plain pastry- filled it with panna mounted mix with cream cheese and garnished with jam. I saved!

puff pastry

NOTE: just have a thought, I tried to whisk the white eggs but i couldnt make it foamy. Might be the cause....

I use this recipe I found on the web (after alteration) : Ingredients : butter (250gr) /package cream cheese, softened (200gr) /sugar (500gr) /6 eggs (separated) /flour (750gr) /baking soda Directions : Preheat oven to 300°F/160 C /Cream butter, cream cheese and sugar together /Add eggs one at a time. /Add vanilla and then flour slowly. /Pour into a bundt pan or Tube pan. /Bake for 1 1/2 hours. /IMPORTANT: Do not try and rush by cooking faster in a hotter oven.

PS: If some cake tragedy like this happen to you.. dont throw away the cake! (I know.. I also get pissed off and intent to chuck 'em away). Instead..slices it thin and bake them again (in d oven or grill.. I grilled them though). They will turn into something like a biscotti /cookies. Taste lovely ;)

Treasure of mine

A pile of new fabric from London.. They came together with my husband hidden in the boot of the car. I treat them like my treasure...hhmmm we'll figure out what to make out of 'em. In d pic they dont look that adoreable... trust me they are lovely..huhuhuhu.. From lace to drappery.. from elastic to sturdy.... from jersey to velvet. My favorite at d moment is d one with so many faces printed.. a bit elastic aswell... good combination so I dont need to install zipper. And the red one on top is good for a "red carpet look"...huaaaaa

chocolate or flower?

Which one u would like to choose as a gift? chocolate or a flower? I would prefere a box of chocolate..the dark one! even that I dont eat sweet stuff that much anymore.. Many occassions here where u able to find every corner of the town full of chocolate (not for free though!).. with various kind of chocolate. dark.. milk... u named it!

Refashioned or recycle..whatever!

What would u do if u have a pile of unwearable stuff like me? cut ..re-sew and wear them I supposed..

the finished 3hours project (well..I need to have a pause for a cup of hot tea n muffin)... ready to wear

Vintage Flowery gown refashioned

the originall dress after I took out the sleeves.. u dont even want to bother urself to noticing I am so annoyed..annoyed... these days....HUAAAAA!!!!!I want to go on holiday!!! Then the only thing able to distract my mind is making things/sewing. So here I go again find some old stuff and this time will be my "winter night dress"....oww.. I used the basic pattern Lydia which you can find on Burdastyle.com (lazy to set the link).

do you happen to notice my bootie? and here it is my nightdress... I cut the pic coz..hmmm.. I guess I'm being funny these days ;(but I dont know weather I will really wearing it or not coz somehow it looks odd and old... tell me what do u think..?

Another clothes recycling

Too bad I dont have a picture of the original dress before I cut it to pieces...

I have a pile of unwearable clothes in my bedroom. Again..we need to do some action so that this useless pile turn to be usefull...eh.. at least for myself..Yay! I try to use other simple dress pattern but I thought... its not worth to trouble myself with that. So we decided to use my "favorite recycle pattern".

I look chubby here don't I?

Inspiring people's blog

I check people blog through burdastyle and most of them are inspiring. On the other hand I dont know how to spice up mine. I keep wondering how these people able to find their spare time during their real life. Lets say I am a full time wife.. sometimes I sew for someone and earn some euros sometimes I sew just to cheer myself up. Most of the time I cook... tide up when I feel like it.... sewing and browsing on the internet and when I realize its already time to sleep. So when is the time to take a picture and upload it to ur blog PLUS write some notes?! My husband say that the more u are busy the more you have time free on ur hand. HA!! show me how maybe..

MommyBun sewing corner

In this corner (indeed a restricted corner) I spend my everyday from browsing sewing and serging. The good thing is that nobody bother me nor the Tv sound. Lets hope I will create something that can be a HIP!

Faux fur fabric

these two are my favorite fabrics among the rest. I havent find any proper idea what to make out of them. Suggestions..anyone??
