the thought that counts

It's been a while since the last time I blogged.
The last blah that I wrote it was like 5 months ago. (lazy me!!!)
Anyway, I'm so excited to write this blah because, ..., well basically it's just because. :D

For people who know me, know that I have a thing for birthday. Other people's birthday, not my own!
I like to make a birthday present, instead of buy one.
Yeah, I know it's easier and maybe cheaper if I just buy it.
But I'm a sentimental seeker kind of person, I like to make it personal. (blah...blah...blah...!!!) XD

Remember this cutie pie lil' angel, Nahla?
She turned 1 year old on Sept 24th, 2011.
With major help from my neighbour, Tante Rika, we made these as the birthday present for 1-year-old Nahla.

 

  batik dress and a headband

 collar & buttons

for Nahla

Hope she'll like the birthday present and it will fit on her. *crossing fingers*

Happy 1st birthdate you cutie one-year-old, you're so cute I'm gonna eat you up!

I like her style.
I wanted to ask her permission, so I could get a better picture of her.
But just before I did that, her bus arrived.

frustrated hair stylist and fashion stylist wannabe

This is an episode where I'm trying to be a hair stylist & fashion stylist. :p

The experiment victim: my baby sist, whose getting bored with her long hair.

She's going to a wedding party.
As her good sister with extra "talents" *evil grin*, I'm saving her money by cutting her hair.
So, i guess I'm "sort of" doing her a favor, nein? *muhaha*

The Result:
*drum roll please*
Pop Quiz: is that the "I-love-my-new-haircut" expression or "I-got-punk'ed" expression?

And now, for the fashion-nista part.
*another drum roll please*

simple black dress: salt n pepper [akamba's]
black tights: some store at itc cempaka mas [my collection]
