My New Love

sewing No Comments »

I have always been a die-hard fan of Sony Ericsson when comes to mobile phone. And when my previous mobile got spoilt due to my negligence I decided to settle for Nokia E61i. I wanted a phone with wifi but SE is out of my budget. Luckily this Nokia does not disappoint me and I am growing to love it.

It has got quick-office applications which comes in handy and keep me occupied if I got the extra time in the train or at mom’s house. And the sound is also not too bad unlike some other Nokia models. It is so convenient to check emails from my bed now without having to switch on my pc. I love the large screen and the qwerty keyboard. And with many wireless hot spots at popular hang-outs, I don’t have to wait until I return home to check if I’ve got mail.

E61iThis model may not be a lady’s choice but that’s fine with me. I can always dress it in different pouches to make myself happy as I have lots of pretty cotton in store.

I have just sewn a simple pouch and thinking of sewing another one for an extra cover and for the fun of it.

Stay At Home Moms

Fridge magnetsI saw someone meticulously filling up details for a membership account in the internet. Being a little impatient, I told him need not be too accurate when supplying information. For myself, most times I would fill my position as Minister and as for company where I work, I would put as Home Affairs. Not bad, I am the Minister of Home Affairs when actually I am a SAHM (stay-at-home-mom)!

And it is usual for a SAHM has to wear many hats. Not surprisingly she is the family CEO, maid, tutor, accountant, driver, counselor, chef, nurse and etc. etc. I was also the house painter last week. If we are to be paid based on a 90-hour work week plus overtime, our pay is quite substantial. But most of the time our job is a thankless one without monetary compensation except being paid tributes on Mother’s day and hopefully in our obituaries.

But I am happy to note that even though it is a demanding job, many moms excel in this labor of love.

But dear SAHMs, let’s not forget to find time for ourselves. It is important that you have activities besides housework and children. Find time for hobby like sewing, making crafts, dancing or go out with your girlfriends. Remember, you are doing a beautiful and important job so you need to stay healthy and beautiful.

Kitchen acessoriesTake a look at the video to make roses from ribbons. You can use this to decorate sewing and craft works. The size of the rose depends on the ribbon width. I usually do this way to decorate small sewing projects like the fridge magnets and kitchen accessories.

Stay beautiful!
