Ivory solemnization Dress

Sometimes ago, i did a favor for my cousin's friends for her nikah dress.. the dress was very plain, with few embroideries at sleeves and body.. i was afraid that i cannot make the dress more lovelier..firstly i sew on beads, but beads are very hard to handle, speed for beadings also low, and the impact is very less.. then i decided to put pearls only because the impact of it is huge compared to beads. and here goes~

I'm Engaged!!!

Although it had happen on last Eid Ul-Adha, I still wanna post this..hehe

 

DIY Sireh Junjung

My cousin and I made this Sireh Junjung. Yay!!! it turns out to be very beautiful. Apart from Sireh leaves, we also used Chrysanthemum and orchids.. I dunno what that small flowers are called. huhu initially I am a bit worried about using the orchids.. How to use it and its very delicate..but it turns out Ok afterall..Yippeee!!

 

This cake was made by my cousin as she is a chef and also opened up bakery business for weddings and events and candy buffet.. can checkout her works HERE 

 

 

 This lovely cookies were also made by her to surprise me.. YAY!!!really love it..

I'm wearing a dress which I purchased at Plaza Alam Sentral at a very cheap price and embellished them more with pearls and beads..huhu of course la.. I dont have the pic with me..huuuu... on that day, i'm trusting my cousin for my makeup..it took almost 2 hours..haha just after she finish my makeup, the groom party arrived..Of course i'm staying in my room with my cousin for CAM-WHORING.. haha then my cousin went out to check out what happen, suddenly my mom asked me to come out..WHAT? settle already? so fast..huhu i was not that nervous when my future mother-in-law put the ring on my finger.. The nervousness comes later when people asked my fiancee and i for a picture together..MALU!!

Time flies away too fast

Time is running too fast. i'm gasping for air to catch up with it. but i'm still grateful to Allah. He shower me with all this 'nikmat' and 'rezeki'.

I have just started my new job last week. it's a more challenging job, which is what i'm chasing for, one of the reason why i choose to change my job. And the new company has a hostel/house. a big house with me alone. Very Nice! Started to like this job more..huhu

My E-day is just around the corner, next Eid Al-Adha.  Since my mom and I are such a control freaks and have different taste level than that's in the market, there's so much DIY that i need to do.

No	Item	Description	Difficulty	Remarks
1	Engagement Dress	Buy ready-made dress and upgrade with beadings and pearl	Hard	Very time consuming
2	Lapik dulang	Mom already bought the cloth. Have to attach lace ribbon, flowers and pearls at each corner	Medium	Waiting for supplies from mom thru GDex
3	Hijab 1-    Inner 2-    shawl	Upgrade shawl with lace, pearls, crystals and beads	Medium-hard	1st time. Hope to turn out alright
4	Hantaran’s Deco	Bought basket at Daiso – so cheap but have to deco a bit Mom want to deco with fresh flowers	Easy-medium	Still have no idea on what to do with the basket Fresh flowers – last minute prep.

Hope there is enough time to make it happen. Insya Allah..

Sulam Manik ~ Beads

Lately i'm interested in beadings (sulaman manik). it was triggered when i made a request to my tailor for my engagement dress. and it turns out to be very expensive for a little detailing. nyesal pulak g tempah sulam manik skali. it was not that impressive and how i wish it will be more glam~ at least a little glam-glam..so i tried DIY and it was quite fun after looking at the outcome.

beadings on my baju raye..glamourous raye la this year

Later my cousin asked me to add beadings for her dress which she had asked her friend to do but not satisfied with it.

Now i'm working with few beading projects. will keep u guys posted with my beading designs. lotsa lurve~

creative kah?

One of myfriends posted something on his wall about the relation of teacher-student roles, and one of his friends attached a video that can be summarized that theconventional learning system is actually suppressing our creativity andimagination.

Afterwatching this, I think my creativity started to wake up. So, I start to surfabout DIY and I came across stuff that I’m really interested at and capable offor now (although there’s reasons of why I’m interested in them) :-

1	Wire jewelry	P
2	DIY brooch – wire jewelry extension	P
3	Paper flowers	OTW

Why wire jewelry?

Well.With the influence of my cousin, I am very fascinated with dramatic andgothic-like rings. I surf about them and it’s all over the internet. But,sadly, it was so hard to lay my hands on them as it’s not really a common thingin my place. So I started to dream of making them myself and there goes thesaying “When there’s a will, there’s a way”, and it’s definitely true. I searchfor the supplier and guess what? Its only 10 minutes drive from my house. Istock up my supplies from GM Klang,right across the street of AEON JuscoBukit Tinggi. I never even realize that a group of building can have allkind of things and I have been driving past over it hundreds time. Firstly Ithought that GM Klang stands for GeneralMotor, when it’s actually an initial for General Market. Silly Me ; P.

DIY Brooch

I reallyhave fun making rings from crystal and wire. I even bought the DIY books onwire jewelry. After sometimes, i found out that I have allergy towards theserings. So damn sad T_T. i can’t wear them anymore. So i tried making bracelet,bangles, which i don’t really wear. It’s fun but since I don’t wear them ishould stop making them. I should make something that I would wear all the timeso it won’t become useless right? I wear hijab and the most important thing forhijabis is brooch. So I want to try making them. It was a trial and errorprocess since it’s very hard to find DIY books on brooch-making, at least thekind of brooch that I am wearing. Still in learning process to find the mostsuitable and efficient raw material to make brooch. I like being one of a kindor having ‘one of a kind’ things. So these DIY stuff is really satisfying as Ican make it however I like with whatever colour crystal I like.

Paper flowers

How Iinvolve in paper flower making is totally different than the wire jewelry stuff.Amongst my friend, it is very popular to get married at my age. It’s like virusand I’m affected too (the truth is I really want to get married fast). Afterattending my friends’ wedding and all, I decided to have a personal touch on mywedding day, despite putting all the wedding decorations stuff on the weddingpackages/planner shoulder like everyone did. I want to put my creativity inuse. At first I want to make my own invitation card. There’s few reasonactually on doing things myself. Rather than displaying my creativity, it’sreally the economy that I most concern of. If I order the wedding card that Ireally want (thinking of vintage-themed and lace and all), it will surely beexpensive. But my future spouse is against it, he don’t want me to go throughall the hardships just for invitation card. Then “Bunga Telur”, kind of goodieswith egg that will be giveaways to the wedding guest, comes in mind. It’s notreally hard to make and fewer to be compared to invitation card number. Isearch over the internet and I found interesting ideas that I think i canmaterialize. After I bought paper from a wedding craft shop, I found out Ibought the wrong kind of paper, the hard, crinkled type, instead of crepe paper(tissue-like texture). But it won’t be put to waste as I will make it usefulsince I made it myself. It’s still a paper flower.
