Owl Pinafore Top and Happy Cousins

I sewed this owl pinafore top for lil Hanan ages ago but only now blogging about it. And here is the model wannabe posing. Can you tell that she is SO into it? LOL!

It was ready before an outing with my sister, Masni, and her two boys, my nephews Nazrin Hakim and Imran Iskandar. We went for lunch at Popeye's at Mid Valley before we moved to the hospital to visit my baby sister. That was when the kids were still allowed to visit I think it was a month ago. The boys and girls had fun, Aisha being the big sister, was leader of the pack :)

Hanan and Imran were born the same year only two months apart (yep, you can imagine my mom's headache having two daughters in confinement under her care lol! Love you Mama!!)...and they are best of friends! I don't know 'bout you but I simply ADORE this pics of them together...Imran is definitely going to be a heartbreaker one day, he's so cute!!!

Hanan and cousin, Imran

And behind all these are two, very busy and very tired mommas, trying our best at keeping everything and everyone together at their happiest best!!!

We are sisters! Love you Ngah!

What The Girls Wore To Mya's Party

Okay....Mya's birthday is officially a trilogy here on this blog lol...

I sewed an Apron Knot Dress for lil Hanan and a matching peasant top for big sister Aisha. I used these cute Hunky Dory fabrics in yellow and pink colorway. Very springy don't ya think? Well I love those warm and happy colors and happy colors always make me smile :)

When asked to pose for some pictures before we go the party, Hanan was obliging but I couldn't help giggling at her "model" near-smile...

Then some sisterly time. It lasted for two minutes until the little one showed her impatience - she really could not wait to go to the princess party...

Before I go, I want to show you what my girls wanted me to write for their favorite aunt, my sister Lin, or Cik Su Lin to them...She is still in the hospital, going through radiotherapy and scores of other treatments. Currently, due to the H1N1 and Adenovirus scare, children under 12 yo are not allowed to visit. The girls miss their aunt so much and when my sister asked for their latest pictures, I prepared these and printed them. I asked the girls what they want to say and typed for them. Hanan simply misses Cik Su Lin while Aisha has a longer wish. My sister cried and cried when she saw these and I know how much she misses the girls...I hope the photos would help her through this ordeal, at the very least, let her have the comfort of knowing how much she is loved by all of us...

Mermaid Maxi Dress For Mya

The birthday present from Mummy Zura to little Mya - Mermaid Maxi Dress!

Ida wanted a nightgown for Mya, so I sewed a sleeveless, maxi length dress in this cute MM mermaid print. Thing is it's just too pretty for bed, and Mya wanted to wear it during the day!

So when Ida sent me this pics of the sassy, pretty Mya, happily getting ready to go and play with the dress and other accessories on, I figured, let's call this the Maxi Dress!

Lots of hugs and kisses from me to both of you - Ida and Mya, love you! :)
