inlove forever

Being a mother is a sweet roller coaster ride. One minute you're all over their poop, the next minute you are in heaven having eyes locked with eachother giving out unspoken 'i love you's'. 

These are my boys whom I am forever inlove.

Akii, the baby manghud at 2 months old. 

Zaiid, the babykuya at 2.5 years old.

great finds

My mom has a super talent in finding great deals. Yes, I meant cheap finds that's got quality and beauty that stands equally with those expensive snobs! Don't you agree? I would love to weart these myself but I own a doll's feet, too small to walk in those wedges. Argh! 

my little mac genius

He calls our Macbook Pro "Appo!" because of the embeded famous bitten apple. And he knows just how to run his chubby fingers to control the cursor to get what he wants. When I came back from the kitchen, he gave out a big "look ma!" look to me because he had opened PhotoBooth - had taken pictures - and had opened and played a video he wants. Oh my! He might already been blogging his way. Start them early they say! 

do the burdastyle!

I found a great community site where sewing people meet, share their works and techniques - may they be professionals or just a novice who doesn't even own a sewing machine like me. It's called BurdaStyle, an open source website dedicated to sewing. Weeee! So much good stuff going on.

The site offers patterns which are proudly shared by BurdaStylers. With easy-to-follow steps that are copyright-free and easy to download, I got myself smiling with excitement! They also have great How To tips also posted and freely shared by members. Go check it out and become a member. It's good to be part of a sewing family.

Can you see my work up on the BurdaStyle homepage? Not much, but all is full of love! Let's sew away!

crazy over rocks

My 2.5yo has a thing for rocks. He picks them up and throws them... and picks them up again. He carefully selects what rock to pick. Even if he gets his hands dirty, that's not a problem. I only want to make sure he's enjoying his little adventure. 

I think he's found that extra wonderful truth in those dull, blunt things. 

Happy rock picking!

i am govinda.

I am hosting and "renaming" my portfolio site to a new home. Thanks to an old friend, Jeffrey Wong, he rescued the life of my designs on the internet back in 30minutes flat. Genius!

stitched for love

I made this for my 2 yo when he first joined a playgroup. It was his apron and I wanted to personalize it. When I showed it to Zaiid, he gave out a "wooow!" I'm glad my little boy appreciates my little labor of creative love...

And then I made this for Akii on his Christening Day. I bought a plain swaddling blanket and customized it with his name on it. It just fits him perfectly...

I have always dreamt of owning a small sewing machine so I can sew baby dresses or bags (not for my boys!) or create whatever I fancy. Someday I will find time for that little passion for anything sewn and stitched.
