A Homemaker’s Diary

I know, I know..I’ve been neglecting this blog.

Well, I am so busy with my other blog and some crafty work that I feel so lazy to update this blog..heh!

Maybe I don’t have much motivation since the Nuffnang buffered earning for this blog is still stuck at the same amount the last time I checked. I’m not sure when that buffered earning will go into the metered earning because I so want to cash out the amount at the end of this month. I plan to buy more craft stuffs with that money…err even then I have to wait another 30 days to get the cheque..but still at least I’m earning something from blogging, right?

Home wise, nothing much..precious son is still having problem getting to sleep at night, sometimes he falls asleep at 5 am..huhu..and I will usually spend 2 hours after he’s asleep to recharge. These days I am contemplating on what to buy for my latest craft venture…learning whatever I can from those videos on Youtube before I make up my mind on what to splurge.

I bought another great parenting book by the same author that wrote Sleepless In America and currently reading it. I also bought Eat Pray Love, but that book will be like secondary to what I’m supposed to finish reading. Parenting my son the right method is more important than reading some divorced, career driven woman autobiography.

Oh, for the past few days, I’ve been watching Criminal Mind and The Unit on FOX almost every night while hubby is babysitting dear son..Thanks Hubby for giving me some ME-time! I love you..muah! Tomorrow night will be the final episode for Criminal Mind for the current season, so that would mean I only have to spend one hour to watch The Unit instead of 2 hours being a couch potato..what a relief!

Till then, happy Wednesday people..try to have fun in whatever you are doing 🙂

We have terminated the Maxis Broadband on Sunday. Why? Coz we have Unifi now..hehe!

What can I say about the speed? Fast enough for me to watch all the videos on Youtube which usually will take ages to finish loading. Now I am more inspired and determined to do more cards and scrapbooking layout for challenges..hehe!

Perhaps it’s about time I start Tweedlewink class, since the online class is in video format.

Err..Hubby, The HyppTV VOD got Prince of Persia la…soon I don’t need to spend money buying DVD la if they have all nice movies which I haven’t watch..cewahh!

Since we are planning to go to the zoo this week, I just remember that I haven’t completed the second part of the KL Bird Park entry done in June.

My son really enjoyed feeding the koi. I liked the area as well since there was no scary bird..haha!

This was taken around the area where we fed the fish. Can’t help noticing the bright red flowers. Actually there were a few hummingbirds (kelicap) around the plant, but it was so hard to take their pictures.

As we walked back to the exit, we passed by the feeding point of the free birds.

I can’t remember the name of this bird. I think it belongs to the pheasant family. Asked Hubby whether he can recall this burung biru, mata merah, he also can’t remember. Maybe next time we should bring some paper and pen and jot down notes like reporter so that I can write an accurate entry. Macam lawatan sambil belajar gitu..haha!

Hopefully our plan to visit the zoo this week will come true. My last visit to Zoo Negara was like 20 years ago..huhu!

Gardening is about enjoying the smell of things growing in the soil, getting dirty without feeling guilty, and generally taking the time to soak up a little peace and serenity.

Remember my previous entries about crochet flowers. Well, I am certainly getting better at crocheting those flowers.

So since I am a practical person who love seeing things to be used rather than left hidden in the drawer, I decided to make all these felt hair clip.

I found a few tutorial online on how they make cover for the hair clip using felt. Being a meticulous person when it comes to crafting I decided to sew rather than just use glue.

I am using buttonhole stitch or jahitan insang pari to merge the top and the bottom felt. I think for those who have learned this stitch during Kemahiran Hidup lesson, you wouldn’t find it too difficult.

Oh, the big white rose is my personal favourite. I am selling this one (well, actually I have made another one) to a friend who has a daughter. Apparently she has been searching for such hair accessory to match her family Raya theme (red and white). Will need to post it to her soon because she wants to put the clip on her daughter’s head during Raya..cewahh!
