what I made last weekend

Well, these are what I made these day.

I'm learning how to applique. This is Sue with a balloon.





A tree in autumn

Cat pouch. I saw this lovely pouch at Mairuru's blog and tried to do. This is the third one I made but I think the first one is perfect in size. I will give this one to my friend, then he will give it to her gf. :D Hope she likes it.

A wallet for my cousin's birthday. Well, it's a little bigger than a normal wallet. But he loves the colors and fabrics so much.

learning how to use Canon 7D

Well, I want to take photos of handmade stuffs sparkling like other blogs, so I borrowed Canon 7D but I don't know how to use it.

It took 1 hour to get familiar with it. Now I think I can take a basic photo with blur background by using Auto feature, haha... However, the outcomes are good to me.

I want to post some pics I've taken but there's no cable to take them out. Oh my.

happy weekend

I had a happy weekend with my dear and friends. On Saturday, I woke up early and practiced piano for a while. After that, I went to Giac Uyen pagoda to pray for my grandpa. It took about 30 minutes. Then I went to a market near by to buy something for my craft work. I bought some tiny embroider frames, some colorful buttons, 2 pair of metal button... I realized that the material for crafting is very expensive and it takes time to do. That's why the price is higher than industrial stuffs.

I'm not dare to buy fabric from the shop in market, because it's very expensive and I don't know how to bargain. I often buy fabric from a shop which sells fabric in kilogram. The inconvenience is they don't have beautiful fabric like floral cotton...

After buying something, I went home and took a long nap. When I woke up, I decided to make a cat pouch like Mairuru's because it's very cute and I also wanted to know how to do it. The outcome made me satisfy. Sorry I didn't take any pic of it.

I had a small party at a pub in district 7 where is our favorite place for drinking ( I don't drink, just eat :D). An, one of my friends, was drunk and did some funny action :)).

I waited for Sunday so much because we had lots of fun at the first time. Men played card while women, sis Trang and I cooked spaghetti with beef. It's very delicious and was not enough for 9 people. I should cook more next time.

Ah, Him ordered me a pink cat pouch for his girl friend. Well, I did it last night but it was very ugly, huhu, I cannot give him this one.

I received some gifts from my mom and my aunt Thảo. My mom saw me 3 tops. They are very graceful because they were made by muslin fabric. Thank mom. And a leather clutch, Thailand gift, from aunt Thảo. hehe. I love it so much. I hang it today to work.

Today should have been my first day in piano class but the teacher is busy. Well, I will study next Wednesday.

two birthday parties

I've had two birthday parties. One is Him's happened last night, one is ms Thao's happened this lunch. Well, so much fun.

It's raining heavily again. With a previous experience, I won't go home right now. Although my stomach is boiling, it's better than stuck in a terrible traffic jam...

an unsuccessful night

Yup, it rained heavily yesterday , I had to wait it stopped raining to go home. I left my office at 5:45 pm. When I just turned left at a corner very near my company, there was a big crowd of people and motorbikes. Oh my god. I couldn't move. I was stuck in the crowd about 15 mins. After escaping from that, I thought I could go straight home, but it's just my thought. The traffic jam appeared everywhere along the way I go home. It took me 1 hour and 15 minutes to get home, oh my god. However, there was interesting surprise. When I felt so bored and looked around, I saw my dear at my left. I called him but he didn't hear me. Then I sent a sms to him. Haha, he was so surprised.

After having dinner with my dear. I intended to make a case for my dear iPod, but I was unsuccessful. The outcome was much smaller than the real size of iPod. huhu... I will remake it tonight. This time, I will be careful. ^-^

Oh no, I forget that I will have a birthday party tonight at Duy Anh's house. So maybe I'll sew another iPod case next day. ^-^

daydreaming

Yesterday, the electric was off after lunch, so I went home. I decided to make something, so I stopped by Soul Shop which sells sewing elements but it was closed. I thought the lady was taking nap. After arriving home, I had no ideas to do anything, just surfed web and watched film.

Yesterday was Him's birthday. He's a close friend of mine and Dix. I invited them for dinner. We ate Phan Rang dishes. It's so delicious.

At 8 pm, I had a video chat with my uncle from USA. I could see him and his wife clearly. They look younger than their ages but I know they are getting old day by day and their health is worse. I worry about that. They have son and daughters but they're far away from them, so how can they take care of parents?

Ah, I want to create a new blog which is just about my crafty work. I'm thinking of it every time. Well,....

hand made stuffs

Every time I visit the crafter's blog, I can't subdue myself try to make something. I bought lots of tools, elements to do but thing I couldn't find is Japanese fabrics. I'm so jealous with crafters who can buy it easily.

Beside embroidering, I learned to make these things by hand sewing.

blog updates

It's nearly 3 months I didn't post anything. My blog is frozen. There are many things happened in the last 3 months. After finishing the piano course at Suoi Nhac, I've not taken any course yet. I've learned little by little. These are 2 of 4 songs I've leaned.

Canon In D - Brian Cain:

And Rain by Brian Cain:


30 August 2010 is the worst day in my life when my grandpa passed away. He's is the person I love most in my life. Not only the rest 32 members in family but also relatives, neighbors, and acquaintances were mournful. He flew to heaven but we still remember him so much. Every night when I close my eyes, his images appears. Everything what happened with him are shown in my mind. He was very sick few months ago, but he always said OK when I made a call for him. He always smiled. I remember his smiles so much, like angel's smile.
