Pretty Florals

 

I'm in love with all the floral prints I've been playing around all week. So pretty!

The above is a party dress for a good friend, Melia's baby girl 3rd birthday. It's a Michael Miller print, don't you just love how striking those poppy petals are?

And below are dresses I sewed for lovely Feena. Love the sweet floral, classic beauty!


I am now working on some major sewing projects (major, by my standard lol). Hint - it involves yards and yards of charmeuse satin, organza and tulle. Oh you can just imagine how the sewer looks like - all distraught and messy as I try to tame those unruly fabrics lol. If you don't see me posting about the finished products here sometime soon, then just assume I gave up ok? :P

Tomorrow is a busy day for me as my business training comes to an end and I prepare for the final presentation to the bankers and investors on Tuesday. Virtual aside, our business made a substantial amount of profit and I learned a lot! One sure thing I'd remember is - no matter how successful your business is, if you don't keep proper records and bookkeeping, chances are the business will go downhill.

Food for thoughts for you there and I leave you with a promise of another tutorial pretty soon, yeay! :)

I dont know why he hates us so much, may be we always talked about the statutory report kut, but now what I heard his biz went down so bad.. and caught by IRB on the backdated financial matters.. but dont know in details..

  17. Haaa...betul kan what I said? Hehe....accountants are there for a reason..but most importantly biz owners kena really care about their books if nak maju coz I dah lalui biz training ni (for small sized trading company) memang kat situlah nadi syarikat. Lagi satu, I think the best knowledge we should impart on our children (other than soal agama) is Finance/Accounting knowledge. Seriously! I tengok those not from this area in my class really struggle but those who are breeze through & it is actually applicable in ALL areas in life :)
