A Thank You Card

Made this Thank You card cum

X'Mas card for Mrs. Kroon.

 

 

 

 

She's Amin & Hakim piano teacher.

She'll be going back to Sri Lanka

for X'mas, so I stiched this card

for her and also gave a

butterfly key-chain (upload in next post) as an X'mas gift.

 

Hope you like it Mrs. Kroon.

 

Love,

Fara

14/11/12 ~ Off I went to Beijing, China for my company trip.

I brought along my hubby, Hashim and my sister in law (Sue)

 

What fun we had there, visited Forbidden City, Tian An Men Square,

but best of all we visited "The Great Wall".. and it snowed.

My very first time encountering snow.. waahhh.. and the

weather there was freaking cold..

 

Hashim posing in one of the Palace walls in Forbidden City.

 

Great Wall.. amazing

 

Excited touching snow for the 1st time.. Hahaha

Amin and Cross Stiching

 

Kids will always be curious.

Amin too.. has been bugging me to teach him cross stiching.

 

 

Haha..yes, Amin.

So, yesterday I gave him some extra cross stich cloth,

some pattern to choose.. and he was ready

and very eager to learn.

 

 

Cloth, threads, hoop & pattern all set

 

Amin chose to stich a "Watermelon"..

 

 

 

First attempt in putting in the thread thru the needle.. :)

 Looking good.. Amin has talent

I mark the cloth with white color pencil, so that Amin knows where to stich.


Five minutes of stiching, here's the result

Not bad.



After 10 minutes, Amin gave up and only finished this lot.
Amin said he's tired and will continue later...lol.

Good work for a 1st timer.. don't you think.



Love,
Fara

 

 



Keychain Gifts

 

 

Schools are getting to the end..

For Amin, his school holidays starts on the

10th Nov '12 till end of Dec

 

As for Hakim & Aleem.. theirs would be on 15th Dec '12 

 

 

Hakim will graduate from pre-school this year..

(Oh my boy is going to Standard One next year..How time flies..)

 

As an appreciation to his teachers..for guiding him

and teaching him throughout his 4 years in pre-school..

(yup I started him since he was 3 years)

 

I thought of giving his teachers a gift..

A cross-stich keychain gift to each and one of them.. :)

 

Will upload the finishing outcome later.

 

 

Love,

Fara

Here's the highlight from my double birthday with Hashim boy!!

We have a party at home with friends and families.. the theme was circus carnival.

 

I browse through the internet and stumble across this site giving out freebies cut-outs and printables for a circus theme birthday party.

Hostess with the Mostess was indeed a good site featuring amazing ideas and deco for any kind of parties or occasion you are organizing.

 

It was soo fun browsing through their site and give me ideas in preparing Hashim's One year old party. Of course, I also had helped from my sisters.

Avengers Mania

My boys are a huge fan of the Avengers and would draw them repeatedly over and over again everyday.

I had bump into this site featuring avengers free cross-stich pattern :

http://kitschydigitals.com/Avengers-Cross-Stitch-Pattern-FREEBIE.html

It would be a great to stich this one and hang it in their room. Go check their site out Kitschy Digital for more freebies and lots of printables and embroidery patterns.
