Selepas beberapa lama...2012 / After a long hiatus...all set & ready for 2012

salam semua, apa khabar? Terimakasih kepada yang masih 'follow' serta kepada yang baru 'follow'. Maaf kerana dah lama tiada cerita di sini. Panjang kisah di sebaliknya tapi saya pendekkan ya ;-)

Selepas kembali ke Semenanjung, pada Mei tahun lepas, kami sekeluarga menetap sementara di Bangsar sebelum berpindah ke Kajang. Seperti perpindahan sebelumnya (ya kami berpindah secara purata setiap 2 tahun), saya sibuk mengemas rumah, menyusun semula barang2 dan tak lupa menguruskan persekolahan baru anak2. Dalam kesibukan itu, rupa2nya saya mengandung. Kami tak sangka ;-) . Saya alami morning sickness yang sangat teruk, banyak kerja yang tertangguh. Namun, khabar gembira terhenti pada minggu ke 11-12 kandungan, beberapa hari sebelum Ramadhan. Saya mengalami keguguran, serta komplikasi semasa proses D & C. Saya dimasukkan ke hospital selama 9 hari dan disyorkan berehat selama 2 bulan. Saya masih jumpa doktor sehingga awal Oktober.
 Sememangnya, selepas berpindah ke Kajang, saya tak sempat kembali ke aktiviti menjahit& kraf  sehinggalah akhir bulan Oktober. Itu pun tidak rancak seperti sebelumnya.

Pada bulan Disember, saya menerima jemputan mengajar Kelas Patchwork & quilting di Kolej Komunti Klang. Awal tahun 2012, sibuk dengan persekolahan anak2. Saya kembali aktif menjahit & kraf seperti biasa pada bulan Februari. Dengan harapan, momentum ini dapat dikekalkan & ditambah sehinggal ke penghujung tahun.
Tidak seperti tahun 2011, yg mana fokus saya lebih kepada aksesori & pakaian, tahun 2012, saya lebih kepada barangan bayi& ibu bersalin seperti quilt, barut, bedung dll. Dalam pada masa yg sama, turut menjual secara kecil2 barangan jahitan utk patchwork & quilting.

Hi, how are you? Thank you for still following and thank you to new followers as well. It had been a long silence in here, there is a long storyto tell but i'll make it shorter ;-)

After we moved back to Semenanjung in May last year, we temporarily resided in Bangsar before moving to Kajang. Like another moving house episode (we live semi-nomadically for the past 10 years i.e. in average we move in every 2 years) i had been very busy unpacking & re-arranging things plus managing the kids new school & kindie. amidst the hectic schedule, we found that we were pregnant. it was a very pleasant surprise, indeed. However, i experienced a very bad morning sickness. i was so sick and unable to do lots of thing. Then, it was about week 11-12 of pregnancy just couple of days before Ramadhan, i misccariaged. And there was a complication during the D & C - i lost about 5pints of blood and bed ridden for days.  i was discharged after 9 days in the hospital, and the doctor asked me to get rest for at least 2 months. follow up appointments were made until early October.

Actually, after we moved to Kajang, i've never really get the chance to sit down and enjoying sewing & crafting until end of October. It was not as productive as before, though.

 In December, i got an invitation via a friend to teach Patchwork & Quilting at Kolej Komuniti Klang.

 Early 2012, i was busy more on kids school thingy. By February, i'm back on my track, sewing & crafting as usual hoping that this momentum will last and maybe accelerated until the end of the year.

Unlike 2011, last year I was more on sewing clothes; accessories. this year 2012, i do lots of baby & maternity things e.g. baby quilts,bedding, swaddle, nursing covers etc. after considering demand especially from my students & friends, I also started selling patchwork  & quilting tools / supplies
