I remember, on my birthday this year… I received an email from my friend which includes the picture of this. My name doodled on the snow. Wow! Well, that was my nick among close friends. Hehe.

My friend Fara was sending these pictures all the way from Kashmir. Look at the beautiful place. So mesmerizing. Thank you Fara for doodling my name. At least, my name has traveled this far.

Much Love,

Tooth fairy

Assalamualaikum

Last week, Amani had fever for two days. So I let her rest at home instead of going to school. When I came home from work, she showed to me the ‘new tooth’ at the back of her baby teeth. I was so panicked when I saw the overlapping teeth. 😱 (Panick mommy mode). 

I asked my cousin whom is a dentist, what should I do with Amani’s teeth. There were two options, she told me. One, to make the baby tooth loose manually (using our finger) or two, go to the dental clinic to remove it. 

Of course I would choose the latter. Instead of one, the dentist removed two teeth. He told me there will be another tooth to be removed because there is another ‘preggy gum’ at the back of the front tooth. 

Sigh… Poor my baby. Always with her teeth problem. (Not a big problem, though. Only me the one here is so panick. haha) Remember when she was still one year old, I caught on her juggling and bleeding gum? When I brought her to see the dentist (The same doctor. hehe), the doctor told me it was only teething. Haha! 
Perhaps, she will become a dentist in future. Just like how she adores her aunt’s profession. Hehe. 

Bracelets addiction

Assalamualaikum.. 

I am a bracelet lover. I don’t know how many bracelets do I have. Whenever I saw fancy bracelets, I would buy at least one. Here is the latest I bought from Bespoken Handmade. 

It’s a customized name on a pendant bracelet. You can choose your own favourite colour and design. Well, of course I chose mint green beads. I’m so in love with this. Suprisingly, the seller lived just near to my house. She just drop in my bracelet into the mailbox. Hehe. Hopefully I can meet her in person someday. 

Spotted on a booth selling bead bracelets in Viva City during fasting month. One bundle cost RM24. So I bought two bundles and gave some to my mom. Hehe. 

My favourite from the bundles. Those colour… 💚 

That day when I went back from baking shop during fasting month, I spotted on the accesories booth in Plaza Merdeka. Tada, bought three bracelets! One for my mom. She is a bracelet lover too. Here is my favourite side of the bracelet, the rose charm. 🌹

Another bracelet that I bought is this one. Emerald green with crown charms. I just love it. 

Since I love wearing bracelets, I also contribute in Cotton On foundation campaign “Let’s wrist band together” The design is so simple yet attractive. 

Isn’t it so obvious that my new favourite colour is green. 💚

Can You Hear My Heart (Scrap book insight)

Assalamualaikum..

Have you watched Korean drama Scarlet Heart Ryeo? Anyone has, must have the scars left after watching the drama. 

I loved it so much until it was hard for me to moved on. The OST was so great too especially Can You Hear My Heart by Epik High & Lee Hi.

When I searched the translation of the lyrics, my heart once again touched by the wording. Therefore, this song inspired me to do my scrap book. 

Lady in Green

Assalamualaikum..

I spent my Hari Raya celebration mostly at home this year. 

 So this is the lady in green. Bought the diamond dri kits since last year, only had a chance to make it during the long holiday. Amani also helping me to do it. But only the ‘face’ part. 😑 

Here are the ladies in green. My mother bought the dress for both of them. They liked it very much. They called it an Elsa dress. 😉

Happy Posto (July.2017)

Assalamualaikum

How are you my friends and readers?

It’s been awhile since I received letters from my pen pals. After few of them got lost in space. I’m not sure who is to blame. That’s the pros and cons in snail mailing activity. 

This came into my mailbox all the way from Norway. I didn’t expect her reply so fast. 

Look at all of these cuties. So very generous of her. Another Kerokerokeroppi chart for me to stitch. 🐸

Well, the mysterious gifs. Can you guess? 

Yes. I’m expecting a WOW expression from you. Because that’s what I did when I unwrapped all of them. They were not just threads, they are DMC. 😍 

Therefore, I’m planning to stitch something for her in return. What should I stitch? 🤔
