I'm still here

Yes, I choose that title to show you that I'm still alive and still here :).

I was busy lately, I have one more role to play, which is a kindergarten teacher -literally-, these weeks were our new semester, full of efforts to calm down newbie and teach them from zero, but I am happy doing this, despite missing to craft more.

And I was mural painting the school's pool wall, I don't have the picture now but I'll update them as soon as possible. Enough for now, see you later alligator :p

update: pool's wall before we paint it


 These are my teacher fellows, I drew the picture on the wall, and we paint it together.
And yes, I forgot to take the after picture (I guess this post will end up trilogy :0)

Not So Quick Post

Halo semua, maaf sudah berhari hari nggak update blog, kebetulan minggu kemarin saya agak sibuk membantu teman yang sedang mempersiapkan kostum untuk perpisahan TK-nya. Kebetulan temanya "Around The World", jadi dia harus memakai baju yang mempresentasikan tema tersebut, awal ceritanya teman saya meminjam baju hanbok yang pernah saya beli di toko 'babe' seharga 40,000 ribu -yup seneng banget bisa dapetin barang bagus dengan harga murah- tapi masalahnya hanbok itu ga ada boleronya, jadi hanya dalam 2 hari saya harus bikin 2 bolero, dan yang paling parah adalah, saya tidak tahu apa2 tentang menjahit baju dari awal pengukuran sampai selesai --', tapi alhamdulilah dengan segala trial and error dan dedel sana dedel sini selesai juga tuh bolero (sayang sekarang lagi ada di laundry, kalo sudah selesai mungkin saya kasih tau wujudnya).
Baik, cukup tentang saya, sebagai ganti karena beberapa hari ga update, saya ada tutorial lama saya yang belum di upload, gambarnya pun masih gelap, tapi mudah mudahan masih bisa kebaca dan dimengerti, ibu ibu .... saya persembahkan tutorial tote bag saya;

Hi everyone, i'm sorry for not blogging for days, last week I was helping my friend to prepared costumes for her kindergarten graduation party. The theme is "Around The World" so she had to wear foreign outfit, it begun when she borrowed my hanbok that I was bought from the thrift store for 40.000 rupiahs -yup, i'm soo thrill to get fine quality dress on a cheap price- the problem is that hanbok have no bolero with it, soo I have to make 2 boleros in 2 days, and the worst part is I don't know nothing about making my own dress from measuring until it finish -sighs-, but thankfully with all the catrasthrope and unsew here and there, I finally finished those boleros (too bad their on the laundry right now, maybe I'll show you when it's done).
Allright enough about me, to show you how sorry I am for not updating in days, I have this old file that haven't been share yet, and the picture were still dark but I hope it can be read and understanable (is it a right word?), anyway ladies .... I present you my tote bag tutorial;

Tas Tempat pensil ku (My Pencilcase Clutch)

Teman saya memberi saya ini, karena dia tahu saya seneng banget sama stationery, perhatian banget sii

A friend gave me this, because she knew how I heart stationery, very thoughtful of you

Tapi saya lihat ada potensi lain dari tempat pensil ini, lalu saya coba bikin versi saya ....

But I saw her in another way, and I made my own version ...

Dan lahirlah dia :)), cantik yaa .. hehehe

And this beautiful baby was born ... isn't she pretty? lol

Dan ya, saya akan kasih tau cara bikinnya, monggoo ....

And yes, I'm gonna show you how to make them, so here we go ..

Oo, kayanya saya lupa kasih komen di foto ini, tapi kayanya gambarnya cukup jelas kan?

Oops I think I forgot to add caption on this pic, but I think the picture says the word




Lalu saya menambahkan mutiara kurang lebih 10' di bagian pegangan yang tadi saya tambahkan diatas resleting, juga membuat bunga dengan membuat lingkaran lalu saya cubit bagian bawahnya, lalu di'amankan' dengan menjahit tangan, juga menambahkan mutiara kecil diatasnya, lalu membuat lengkungan di tepi lingkaran tersebut (maaf lupa ambil fotonya)

And then, I took about 10' of faux pearl beads as handle, I also made flower by making circle pattern and I pinch the bottom and secured it with hand stitch, I also add little pearl on it then making scallop on the circle's edge, I hope I say it in English right  --' (sorry I forgot to take picture of this action)

Dan beginilah saya membawanya, dan tempat pensil saya sudah berubah jadi tas tangan kecil .. selamat berkarya

And this is how I carry them, and my pencilcase has turn into a clutch ... have a nice crafting
