updates on PB

the other day, my cousin Aye said to me .. "kak siti takde perut laa.." .. [yes Aye, I'll blanje you that Dorothy Perkin's top when I'm rich..lol!]

but seriously, a number of people [office n home] told me I look smaller... even my ex-manager.. hehe.. I guess betul laa kot.. I tak timbang pun..but I noticed I could wear those old jeans of mine...and my tops pun dah tak ketat macam dulu..hmm..

When they ask.. "diet ke..?" .. I'll for sure say No..because its true..i still eat a lot..just the same as I did when I was pregnant.. so how did I lose those fat?

I would say... Premium Beautiful.... I never fail to wear that baby of mine..every single day for at least 8 hours! ok..maybe I cheated a bit during weekends and that one week when I was having a fever.. but, I do wear it everyday.. mostly out of habit now.. pagi2 before I put on my outfit for work..I'll wear my PB first.. if tak pkai rase semacam jer..

I dont think I've lost that much of weight..coz the last time I weigh myself I was still 60+ [not telling you the exact figure! embarassing!] haha... but PB does shape ur body and hid all that flabby part of ur body that you seriously want to hide..and I think it slowly helps get "everything" back into place again..like my tummy..I dont do sit ups like I used to back then, but somehow.. now its flat [not as "tight" as before] but ok laa..at least my tummy doesnt show when I wear those not so lose tops..believe me, I am super conscious about that part! ;p

but I guess fully breastfeeding helps too... ;)


so anyone interested in knowing more about PB or interested in joining the business, drop me an email (escallonia08@yahoo.com) or send me a text msg (0192710102).. i'm more than happy to share with you guys!

and for those who are in JB/Kulai and are interested in purchasing PB, you can text my SIL - 0197157691 (Ita) .



till then,

addicted to cotton!

came back from lunch today and saw this on my table [even the pakguard knows where my table is since I've been receiving lots of parcels lately...very2 bad!]



I looked at the shipper's name [another bad sign..too much online purchase until I had to read the senders name!!!] and I saw "May"...uuuu..my fabrics from MayMayShop !!!!




lets count.. one..two..three...on the other hand..lets not! [feeling guilty already]



I super love the first one! cant wait to make a dress out of it.. [any takers? hehehe]

the second one is for baby Aqil [mama has been neglecting him a lot lately..hehe] , still cant decide what to make him..maybe a quilt ?

And since I've bought fabrics from May before, she was kind enough to give some freebies!!



Its like she knows me or something..i lurvveee pink! huhu.. ;)


hmm...if only I had my sewing machine with me...cant wait to start sewing!!

tutorial : easy towel bib

I've been feeling guilty because I've been making a lot of girly stuff for my friends and non for lil Aqil..hehehe...but I didnt know what to make him..there's not many choices for boys..

when I went into Cotton on for Kids at Pyramid last Sunday, I saw these cute bibs selling for RM15 (original price rm29)...belek2...hmm...this is easy to make...Aqil is at the stage where he's playing with his saliva all the time..his top is always wet, and the mother always get nagged by the grandparents to put a bib on him...hehe...Aqil have limited pieces of bibs coz the mama only wants to buy the cute ones..and they aint cheap..hahaha...teruk betul..but now..no more....coz mama can make for you...and it doesnt cost that much..hehe

One of the bib I made him..



and to share the love ..

what you need:

1. Hand/face towel
2. Cotton fabric/ Old tshirt
3. Velcro
4. Coordinating thread



Cute the cotton fabric, the same size as ur towel



Mark the middle and draw a circle, for my case, I used a 4 inch diameter circle..;



something like this.



take a 3 x 4 inch fabric, sew and turn inside out and sew at one of the opening at the top. cut the line above the circle before you do this.



you'll get something like this..



sew the sids, and the circle... fabric and towel right sides together...leave a 2 inch opening at the bottom.... (if not clear, kindly refer to the picture above)



2 inch opening at the bottom



Cut the circle



before turning inside out- make slits inside the circle



turn right side out and u'll get something like the above..



sew on the velcro on the top part of the bib



and topstich arounf the bib (this is optional)



tadaaa!! ur done... simple right??



you can actually wear it bothways.. but of course you want the cute part outside



i made 4 for aqil...the two on the left I used my old tshirts..hehehe...



Hope you guys like the tutorial..and good luck!!! ;)

weddings i like

when it comes to wedding, I prefer the days before the wedding, the preparation, the kecoh-ness of the situations [of course when its someone else's wedding and not mine!lol!].. i love doing the door gifts and the hantarans and getting all kepochi about the wedding dress bla bla bla..

last weekend was my cousin's wedding, and of course I was there to lend a hand... :)









this was my first time trying to do a pelamin..[mom volunteered me out of the blue - of course she helped also - and my super creative aunties] it was nothing fancy..just something simple for the nikah ceremony..






it didnt really turned out the way I imagined it to be..but I guess it was OK for my first try..plus we did it in 4-5 hours..very2 limited time..considering all that...cousin loved it btw [of course she had to say that kan..huhu..] sorry laa lin..kami budak baru belajar!


I actually had a fever since wednesday [oh-the-sacrifices we make for our family! hahaha] , I was coughing and sneezing all day, and since I am breastfeeding my son, ofcourse eventually he had to catch something from me..sian dia.. he had a temperature and a running nose for 2 days..but him being the mommy's little son..he was laughing and playing with anyone who held him..mcm tak demam langsung..huhu..

took him to the clinic on the 2nd day..no fever then, just running nose..Granpa orders.. doctor said " apelaaa papa you ni..sihat2 bawak you g klinik...aktif jer ni..." hahaha... at last, she didnt charge us anything.. mak die jer yg kene amek gas sbb cannot breathe..haihhh...



tertido while waiting for our turn..









**cant wait for the next wedding..
