warning...gambar banyak

well, i am so tired. ni lah, jadi pak sanggup. in this case mak sanggup eh :) i was approached by one of the librarians if i would like to conduct a computer class for the center of learning. well, basically what it is , is this computer base classes held by the library for adults. and the topic that i was to cover was Flickr. it's not that bad. straight forward, but yang leceh nyer is that, i kena buat the handout lah. so i was given this topic for like ..what...2 mths ago. and when did i start doing the handout, bearing in mind that my class is two days from now..hehe...today. so apa lagi lah..had to cram. and sib baik i am the type that function very well under pressure. selamat dah siap. cuma nak kena proof read by susan.




well, i managed to sell a few of the stuff that i made and i got like 3 orders for the flower bracelet in swarovski crystals. hehe..naddy tak suka this small crustals. takper nanti i buat this venetian glass beads for you to see. it is very pretty. i love the way the colours complement each other. from the blurry gambar kan, i sold the earrings and the bracelet that was made out of the light blue beads. i also sold a necklace and earring set that my friend ordered. i sold, another set of necklace and earrings, made of coin-shaped fresh water pearls and gold tojo seed beads. :) happy, happy :) alhamdullilah. now with christmas coming, perhaps, they will order more.




actually, i ni segan nak jual. just so happens that, i was wearing what i made when one of my colleage saw what i had on. she mmg suka pakai all these things. i pulak, suka but now dah malas lah. maklumlah, i am no longer working in a formal environment...hehe..nak nak time sejuk ni.











i pakai sweater and jeans jer. paling2 i pakai sweater lawa sikit, but mostly since keje evening time, i pakai those hanes cotton sweater jer. make-up , make-up ni seme..so not necessary..hahaha. anyway, she told me about one of her friends yang suka buat these things too and that she knows a lot about it. i told her, i ni baru starting2 jer. i tak tau lah nak buat yang cantik2. so one night she showed me what her friend had made for her. she had this swarovski's crystals dengan silver beads. i nengok the bracelet asnd told her..that i know how to do that. i am now working on something different.




so since she nak nengok, and i thought, well my opp to show my keras tangan, i ran home, which is like lat dua rumah..haha. and brought it over. she saw that and she liked it immediately. of courselah, since it consists of all swarovski's crystals, it is not that cheap. well..cheap jugaklah..considering, but the time and effort i put in to yang i tak tau camana nak put a value to it. anyway, i have other ideas on what to make.




i have also experimented with wire work.
using croshet needles, you kira crochet this 24 gauge wire and then you string beads in between the holes. and what do you get? you will get something like this. and kalau you use a thicker gauge wire, you can make all sorts of things. but i think mostly, my fave is beading. kira macam jahit all these beads together to form whatever bracelets with whatever designs that you like.



anyway, last weekend was very nice. a perfect fall day. i had the bicker kids as well. so by the time lunch is over, i apa lagi, told the kids to go out and play. and furthermore, the yard is full of leaves. lawa, but since, sarina said that she would rake the leave is i pay her, why not. i ended up paying naomi and her 2 bucks each. they raked like 3 bags of leaves. they could have done more but sarina got side tracked. she decided to rake the neighbours yard, sebab one of her schoolmate is there. i reasoned with her, why should she do that when she has her own yard yang lagi berserak.but all in all, i think they had fun. it was gorgeous. kalau lah the car didn't have problems, we would have gone hiking. sib baik saturday dapat jugak gi hiking sekejap. hopefully the car will be ready by friday. bukan serious sangat, just need to replace the hoses and the water pump jer. maklumlah kereta dah tua...hehehe..camana eh lagu arwah sudirman tu..is it ; orang biasa..kereta tua'..hahaha..ni main hentam jer..





we don't like buying new cars, sebab once you drive the car out of the lot, it depreciates quite a bit. that, and also kereta baru mahal lah.. but we are thinking of buying a second one as a backup. kira second, thrid hand or even fourth hand car..hehehe or maybe buy the same year and model as our current one. reason being, we are familiar with it. sri, you kata nak datang tolong rake kan..ni ah nengok berapa banyak dedaun yang dah gugur. dua tiga hari pun lom tau habis..hahaha. bak kata kak za, dunno why ppl here will rake and then there will be more leaves in the next few days yang jatuh ke bumi :)




well, this pic was taken last night. nengok betapa penat nyer si sarah. entah apa dia buat during the day that come time to eat dinner, wah lepak seh. but nak tak nak kena jugak kejut dia makan. kalau tak siaplah..malam nanti dah lah tido lambat, she will ant to eat at a much later time. then gedebak gedebuk, tido gerenti nak dekat midnite. okaylah, dah nak kena gi lipat baju. berlambak pulak tu.
