DIY Project - Felt Flower Brooch

Selama ini di Creative Mommas sisa2 flanel tuh belum pernah diapa2in, dikumpulin aja, karena belum ada ide, mau dibuat apa2 sisa2 kain itu. Hari Kamis kemarin, Mama Ola dan Mama Fio, semacam mendapatkan sedikit hidayah ^^V untuk memanfaatkan sisa kain yang udah menumpuk lumayan banyak itu. Yaitu membuat bunga-bunga kecil yang bisa dijadikan bros, atau untuk memberi ornamen pada taplak meja polos. Lucu banget, dan gampang banget bikinnya. Dan yang paling penting, ini memanfaatkan kain sisa. I think we're getting more creative each day.. :D

beautiful, both the brooch and the model.. hehehe

Yang kalian butuhkan, beberapa kain flanel warna-warni, potong lebih kurang panjang 5 cm, lebar 1 cm, gulung dan ikat. Kemudian rekatkan menjadi satu. Untuk membuat daun, potong dengan bentuk daun sesuai selera, kemudian jahit jelujur besar untuk membuat urat daun. Udah! Gampang'kan?? Selamat mencoba..

Friday afternoon at my place

Lebih tepatnya Friday Crafternoon, cuaca cerah banget, kerjaan rumah udah kelar semua. Saatnya menjahit.. Oya, saya lagi ngerjain kaos milik Alif, jadi harus ekstra hati2.. No snacks, and keep hands clean and dry..

Kaos milik Fio, di page Creative Mommas kemarin.. So, wanna felt your kiddo's name too?? Happy Creating.. :)

sweet friends

ada yang kurang banget di pengajian rutin hari ini, bunda nay sama umi faza gak masuk karena harus ngejagain anak2 mereka yang lagi di-opname.. maaf ya bunda nay, mama alif belum sempet ngejenguk ke sana.. tapi kalo umi faza, alhamdulillah, kebetulan si nabigh di-opname di rs restu ibu, deket rumah, jadi saya bisa menyempatkan nengokin tadi.. itupun udah malem, jam 9 tadi baru ke sana.. Alif sendiri juga tadi sempet demam, tapi alhamdulillah, sampe sekarang udah gak ada naik2 lagi panasnya.. mudah2an Alif gak sakit lagi de, sabtu besok mau latihan manasik haji, jadi saya harus bener2 bisa menjaga kondisi kesehatan Alif, kalo saya gak mau melewatkan momen manasik haji yang cuma diadakan setahun sekali.. cepat sembuh ya Nabigh dan Hana.. :)

narsis dulu abis pengajian dan arisan

creative mommas's current project, tempelan kaca shaun the sheep..

a friends day

Alif couldn't come to school today because of his stomachache since yesterday.. and stayed at home is a boring thing ever since I've been crafting in Creative Mommas, so I called Mama Fio and not-really-serious invited them to work at my home.. oh my, they really came then.. I remember a quote, a friend is the one who comes in when the whole world has gone out.. as always, we're having fun while we're working..

I'm so thankful you ladies to come and made my day so funny as everyday with you, and I really love being involved in our super fun crafting community.. :D

Creative Mommas's crafts ready to order.. more pictures to come.. anyway, we got super cute "Angry Birds" felt craft but it wasn't done in the rope,so I decided to post its picture later when it has completely done.. :D

I made a super delicious melon syrup to refresh the hot day..

in other news, I always panic anytime I heard Alif says "mom, my belly hurt.." like yesterday, then I sent him to hospital in the afternoon but get back home because the doctor wasn't available until 7 pm, and we brought him to the hospital again at 7.30pm.

Alif in hospital lobby, everyone said he didn't seem sick..

crafty rainy day off

semua orang lagi ngomongin hujan seharian di Balikpapan hari ini, gak ketinggalan sampe TV nasional juga menyiarkan berita tentang pesawat LionAir yang tergelincir di landasan pacu bandara sepinggan tadi pagi pas hujan deres.. tapi itu gak ada hubungannya sama saya.. yang nyambung cuma soal hujan, ya pasti karena not cooperating weather itulah, we ended up stayed in on day off, tapi bagus juga buat saya, saya jadi ada waktu buat ngerjain angry birds projects..

baru sore2 abis ashar langitnya mulai cerah ya.. abis nganterin ibu' beli air-climber, suami saya ngajakin cari maem, saya terus inget pangsit gunpas, jadilah kami ke sana, tapi kehabisan.. akhirnya balik lagi de makan pangsit di bawah (sebutan untuk mi ayam ojo lali di jembatan mariyati).. :D

enjoying crafting, done with boomerang and almost done splitting birds.. :D

mi ayam are all over the place in Balikpapan, and always the great way to enjoy cold rainy day..

a very cold Sunday evening, enjoy hot tea with Papa and Alif.. happy tomorrow..!!

my old purse new contents lately

that's so rare that I cleaning out my super old purse then switch over to another new one, well I don't have any new purse right now (lol).. I still wear the same purse ever since 2009, and get a new fancy or not fancy bag is still bad news for my wallet.. would anyone donate for me to get new purse I'm currently craving for?? lmao

whenever we get together, we know we're going to have fun

let me say, lately my life has been a big meeting, crafting, laughing and eating.. oh my, it's nobody's birthday, but we, as always, laugh while our hands stitching and I don't know whose idea it was, we just decided to eat out again in I-don't know-whose favorite spot to eat then more laugh..

here some pictures from today..

this morning, talking about angry birds, for myself, creating my own idea to draw the patterns of angry birds characters is like I must swallow an elephant, but I I no longer saying "I could never do that" so, Semangkaaaa!! :D

whew!! I'm a good model I guess.. :D

learning by stitching

my very own version of Pangsit Gunung Pasir, with no noodle.. I didn't finished those balls.. that's way too many balls in my bowl.. but there are always friend's bowls to throw some out..

the first order, stitching angry birds preparation

dari tadi sore, tab2 di browser saya isinya tentang angry birds felt craft ideas and patterns.. saya sangat excited walaupun agak capek dan bingung mau menggambar pola karakter2 angry birds di kertas.. saya udah nemu beberapa website yang menyediakan tutorial gratis untuk bikin boneka2 angry birds, tapi saya bingung gimana ngasih taunya ke mama2 yang lain ya..

akhirnya saya mutusin besok saya akan bawa netbook axio classmate yang udah gak pernah saya pake lebih dari setahunan, dan googling di sekolah aja sama mama2 yang lain.. believe it or not, semua temen2 creative mommas gak ada yang tau apa itu angry birds, tp mama faza tau ya walaupun gak seakrab saya sama infuriating and depressing angry birds.. jadi mereka gak bisa mbayangin boneka angry birds itu kayak apa.. saya udah harus nyiapin yang mau saya bawa besok, soalnya charger netbook-nya aja saya udah gak tau saya simpen di mana.. :D

free tutorial found..

a dusty kind of knowledge..

big meeting and dream job course

recently, we (mommas) seem like in meeting mode everyday.. meeting about crafty this and that fill our days.. a list and some goals, that's our days now.. we have so many "what's next" type conversation.. and today, we just started everything on.. we were in felt crafting course with Mama Fio.. today was so exciting and it's looking like that the next days will give us a run (even I can't be full-time at it) for extra cash.. life is good, isn't it? :D

laugh as much as you breathe, and work as much as you laugh, and eat as long as you work.. :D

mine, it's not done yet.. :)

my new crafty blog to check out..

saya sibuk banget di weekend ini.. dari hari jumat bersibuk2 di pecel famili dan saya juga lagi sibuk bikin blog baru buat bisnis kecil2an sama temen2 Mama di Auliya.. jadi, Mama Fio yang hobi banget bikin barang2 lucu, ngajakin mama2 yang nganggur untuk bikin pernak-pernik dari kain flanel untuk kemudian dijual.. saya sebenarnya gak mau ikut karena saya gak nganggur.. waktu saya udah habis di warung.. tapi kemudian saya inget, kenapa nggak dijual secara online, kan nyambung sama hobi nge-blog saya.. maka jadilah blog baru yang nantinya bener2 saya isi dengan crafty adventure kami..

untuk saat ini, kami masih mencoba berkreasi hanya menggunakan kain flanel, yang gampang dulu.. tapi nanti kami semua akan belajar membuat crafty things dari bahan2 yang lain.. saya sendiri udah pengen banget nyoba bikin boneka2 untuk Alif.. tapi nunggu besok, diajarin dulu cara menjahit tangan dengan macam2 tehnik dari Mama Fio.. sekarang saya mau cepet tidur de, cepet besok cepet ke toko Setiawan belanja bahan2 untuk bikin felt craft.. :)

check my blog here and share your crafty thoughts there.. xo
