Soft Toy: Sneaky SSSnake Polkadot

There's a snake in the house. I can hear it hissing. A polka-dot snake it is! Surprisingly tame and venom-less.

This cute soft toy I made originally for Balqis to play. Here is the close ups:

Find it adorable? You can have one too, I can make it upon orders (of course with a small fee). Hehe..

Mini Soft Toys: Vegetables

Harapan seorang bapa untuk anaknye apabila besar nanti - menjadi seorang chef (sebab die x dapat jadik, suruh anak die pulak). Huhu.. So, the first step is kene la ajar die main masak-masak kan.. That's why I made those mini soft veges for her. 

Ada 10 jenis sayur yang cik abby buat:

(From left) Carrot, radish (lobak putih), chilly, brinjal, tomato, cabbage, potato, yellow pepper, sweet pea and mushroom.

This is one of the way for my little girl to learn to eat vegetables too (walaupun ibu die x suka sangat sayur). Hehe.. Teringat zaman kecik-kecik dulu main masak-masak. I missed those times..

A Case for your Stationery

This is it. This is the pencil case I'm talking about. A dimensions of 20 x 12 cm, big enough to store more than 10 pens, 2 highlighters, an eraser, a marker and a stapler. 


As usual, geometry motives for my husband, I chose circles to represents the earth (I know, I know earth is sphere), and I did it in a colorful way, hence the fancy look. A green background is dedicated to our source of oxygen, the refreshing trees and forests. 

I think it is really worth it to stitch those 20 colorful circles (what a relieve!), because it ended up very nice, indeed (puji diri sendiri). Hehe..


Well, sharing is caring!

Recycle: Coconut Shell as Hanging Plant Pot

Kepada sesape yang terlebih rajin, yang nak buat garden ala-ala di tepi rimba, boleh la try buat.

Materials yang digunakan adalah seperti berikut:

S-hook tu beli kat Ikea, brand Bygel RM 1.60/10pcs. Murah je. Hemp twine tu lebih kurang macam tali jut la, beli kat Daiso @Curve, RM 5.00/3pcs. Daiso tu sume barang RM5, ada kat IOI Mall, Curve, One Utama, Aeon Bukit Indah JB. Tempurung kelapa tu pulak buat muka tempe mintak kat brader jual santan kat pasar. Die lagi suka sebab kurang sikit tempurung die kene buang. Hehehe.. Gunting potong ikan tu cik abby amik kat dapur. 

Jom start!! Kalu tulisan kecik sangat, click image to enlarge.

Kalu hati nak, senang jek. Kejap dah jadi. Amatlah sesuai untuk pepohonan yang berjuntai-juntai dan air plant (pokok udara). Lagi mengancam bile pokok dah mula berjuntai ke bawah.

Kalu nak buat, tempurung kelapa tu bersihkan dulu guna sabun untuk hilangkan bau kelapa, allow to dry for 1-2 days. Nanti residue kelapa dalam tempurung tu tanggal dengan sendirinya. 

Nah, amik ni pantun 2 kerat:

Buat pasu guna tempurung kelapa,

Selamat mencuba!!

My Very Own Sling Bag

It was my first attempt. Two nights of light sleep and I nailed it! (nak buat siang, tapi Balqis kacau. Hehe)

It is designed specifically to fit only the purse and mobile phone of mine. Nothing more..

Ok lah kan for first attempt. Lain kali buat maybe boleh lagi cantek kot. Huhu.. I still have a lot to learn though.. 

Recycle: Aluminium Candle Container as Picture Holder

When the light is out, candle is the first things that come across your mind, right? (or is it torchlight? hahaha).. Light the candle. When the wax is out, light out, aluminium container empty. Actually, you can do something with this wasted containers, as a picture holder!! 

Two slits are all that it takes! Cut both ends of the container (estimate your width of your picture). Don't go too big or your picture will fall..

You can insert two pictures at the same time. In front and at the back. 

Alternatively, I also slipped my old-become-new mirror. The broken mirror was from my make-up box and I gave it a new kitten frame, appreciating the love for cats of my little girl. 

There you have it.. What a great way to recycle, huh?

Happy trying y'all!! Sharing is caring!

Got Excess Fabrics?

Orang melayu cakap kain perca. Omputih cakap excess fabrics.

I got some excess after I was done with my notice board and my so-called wall art. I gave my dull cushion a brand new look, but unfortunately I can only managed to sew one. X cukup kain la pulak. Kain perca la katakan. I also made a table runner for my TV bench. I do not have a sewing machine (soon will have) so I stitched along the parameter so that it did not look messy. I used embossed thread to give an impact on the stitching.

Check it out:

Other than that, place mats and wall pocket would be awesome too (already in my soon-to-do list)!!

Got any more ideas? share with me..

Convert your Ugly Container into a Fancy One!!

If you are a take-away junkie, then you must have a lot of empty plastic containers. They can be reused over and over, and that is a good thing. But what if you do not use them? So take out your containers hidden deep inside your kitchen cabinet, and make them pretty!! 

I got a bunch of excess paints after painted the house last year, so just used them. Alternatively, use water color. Let them dry after the first motives if you want to decorate more than one color. A glossy finish can be created when you spray a thin coat of transparent gloss (ada kat kedai hardware).

There you have a fancy container in less than 30 minutes. Labeling your stuffs on it also can make your container looked smart and cool. Try it!! 

Pesanan penaja: Do not ever use the container for food storage as it might be contaminated (from the paint).

Create more space with Shelf!

Once upon a time, I was doing an ultimate cleaning. While cleaning the store, I found a piece of papan pendek, the excess part of my kitchen cabinet. Sayang pulak nak buang. Then the thinking began...

I looked at my chaotic, messy work space and ting *lift eyebrow, cynical smile *, a shelf would be good!

I just used two tins to support the shelf. I put anti-slip mat in between the shelf/tins and tins/desk.


If you have something such as this papan, don't just throw it away. Lain la sampah kan. Keep it, because it might be useful to you someday, someday, someday... (echoing)!!

Pin Cushion ku yang x seberapa

Jarum-jarum peniti ku kat atas gobok (cakap orang joho) ada, kat atas meja ada, kat dalam beg ada.. mana aku nak letak jarum ni?


Jawapannya, cucuk la kat Pin Cushion. Kat kedai ada jual, tapi kalu buleh buat sendiri, apa hal aku nak kuar duit beli, ye tak? Paling sonang, bak kata orang kampung, "piece of cake", buat bentuk bulat leper. 


I went to Sushi King today and bought my daughter a Melon Sherbet. Bekas die looked cute, so cik abby pun bawak la balik umah. Last-last jadik tempat pin cushion. Selalu tempat pin cushion takde petutup, tapi cik abby punye ade sebab bekas comel Melon Sherbet tu siap ada lid. Kurang la sikit bahaya tu kalu anak-anak ter'main' pin cushion.. Tapi jangan la bagi main terus. Bahaya tu tetap ada. Malang tidak berbau Calvin Klein ok!


Well, below are the series of events that I went through to make a simple pin cushion. Check it out y'all!!
