No time for craft

*sigh*..I miss my sewing machine...This holiday seasons really make me busy, first coz my maid has gone home for x-mas and will be back on the 30th (hopefully) since we'll have small new year party...well mainly for our house-staff alias PBT..he he...They've been bugging us with this idea, so this year we will concede and will have a lil party. My BIL (bro in law) already made the garden lit up with lights. My sons got very excited..mainly becuz they wait to switch on the light in the evening hehe... So this few days I will just run around after my little BRATS...since raihan is very OUTDOOR little person, so half the time he was outside..picking up fallen fruits, digging my MIL flower beds and spoil them, cycling around and playing toy golf which in the end always end up fighting with Rizqi over the golf sticks...*ouch*....

My mind is buzzing with ideas and I already bought few fabrics. Just can't help my self yaaa....whenever I see nice beautiful unusual fabric I just have to buy them...and INDIA is full with all of these pretty fabrics...eventhough I live in the small nook of India hehe...I got crepe fabrics with paisley prints, leopard prints (which finally I gave it to my tailor with painfully explain to him what sort of cut I want...U know they speak ONLY their language, so U can well imagine I try my best explain to him in Englsih, hindi, Assamese and SIGN language hehe....) and i got this pastel yellow wool fabric and white check wool material...

Hopefully I will have some spare time next year so I can do some cutting n sewing again....Wanna try to make few more purses or tote bags...and I'm still continue putting beads in my hijab (jilbab)...AWWWW..so little time soooo many things to do....Hum kya karoooooo....he he

till then....HAPPY HOLIDAYS and MAY YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR....

Tartan Vest

I made another set of trousers-waist coat for my son (I still have to take the photos), and I have little material left, so I made this vest (waist coat for my self). The material is very less actually so the front part I cut diagonally. And it turned out..well...good..at least I liked it. And I gave a red pure cotton lining. Hope you like it...I'd love some comments, ideas or critics...thanks for looking

Mini dress

These two short dresses I made last week. The black one is from handloom mekhla (Assamese "sarongs"), it's just simple dress. The tartan one, insprired from old magazines...very simple with one pleated in front part. back part is just simple...I want to add some bottons and belt but haven't got the time to make it...so I'll update the post once I'm done...

till next time....keep smiling...:)

OOpssiee...sorry for rather blurred fotos...:)

Something for my son

Ehm..so my Mom-in-law told me how she liked lil boys in their tartan trousers & waist coat...and she assured me that I can make it...so after several days of thinking I came up with this one...how does my lil gentleman look???..:D
