Tanamera postnatal set - checked! & the late night creativity

The set arrived yesterday!

*I need to drive out as the sender could not pass the security check*

I'm loving the packaging!

The design looks so eco friendly!

So when I opened it, I saw this binder and the manual

The manual.

The item that I bought is from :

http://tanamerapostnatal.com/

I received 11 of the items, plus one extra VCO, for rm390.

I heard and read great reviews about this postnatal set that I'm sold. 

So far I'm now using the VCO to aid delivery.

Could only update once I deliver, whether I tear or not!

*Was so freaking busy last night making 7 dulang hantaran for a friend of hubby as today is his engagement.*

The 7 dulang (nigh time + phone camera is the worst)

One of the close up. (makeup set)

I did these for less than RM100!

The flowers, the alas, and the polystyrene is all around RM95. 

He gave me his own dulang and those items, so I've just create this out of 2 hours mark.

We start at 10pm and finished nearly at 12am.

Will update the nicer version later on. :D

* Hubby couldn't believe I could do this. XD *

DIY:: Bantal hantaran

Hello people.

How are you doing today?

Me, not so good. 

But I wonder why when people ask you, how are you, even we are so down, we will said, yeah we are fine, how are u?

 Or even when we said nah we are very this and that, and they will not listen?

Tee hee. I guess, it's just politeness, eh?

Oh well..

Last weekend, I made this lil project on bantal or "pillow" hantaran.

I love DIY, but since the engagement will be just around the corner, so I made this super easy, even the most un-creative people could also do this!

This is so bloody easy, I finished it less than 2hours only for 7 pillow!

Okay so the things U'll need will be::

Polystyrene that shaped like pillow ( I bought rm5.80 for one)

Sponge ( rm1.50 1 strip, a strip could cover 1 polystyrene)

Piece of clothing. (mine is dark purple jersey!) 

And the most important is this glue gun! ( RM3 for gun, RM2 for 10 sticks of glue)

1.Lay down the sponge

2. Lay down the polystyrene on top of the sponge

3.Glue one side together

Tadaa

4. Glue the other side, then glue in between gaping between polystyrene and sponge

Tadaa, the spongy polystyrene~

Lastly, glue the fabric together. 

I didn't even make it very put together, just throw everything out and I think it turns out rather well, isn't it?

After that you can decorate it with strips of sequins, blings2, crystal, fur, feather, tulle or whatever rock ur boat!

Haven't decorate mine yet, but when I did, I will post it out!

So, what's next for me?

1. Deco the bantals

2. Crochet small pillow for his watch

3. Make two bantal for sofa

4. Confirm flowers

5. Buy stuff for flowers (sponge, flower wire and tape, ribbon)

I think this will keep me busy busy busyyy~

Happy Diy-ing peeps!

D.I.Y : Gubah gubah bunga~

Hey Folks!

Yesterday I went to Maple Flora to buy some flowers, and try to DIY the flowers. and I think I need to buy more!!

I bought cameron rose in dark pink, pink, white and peach, baby breath and statice. 

My friend bought that sunny yellow sunflower. Pretty!

The flowers before the ritual. :p

So what I did is buy the sponge, put it in a pail, and wait until it absorbs water and turn dark green, then wrap it in aluminium wrappers. 

Next, I just start putting in the flowers! 

So taadaa~

First try

Second try.

So moral of doing hantaran yourself is::

a. make sure how much flowers you will need for this.

ex, i thought 8 roses and 4 stalks of baby breath is enough, turns out I could only get a quarter of that round one, and only top ones for the second ones.

b. Make sure to buy more, not less!

I can't emphasize enough on this, as you know flowers could wilt, or the petals could unfurl, as exhibit b. XD

c. do not wrap the aluminium wrapper twice!

I did on the sides and I kept making my stalks broken, and make my flowers stalk shorter and shorter. 

d. Make sure which design goes well with the hantaran itself. 

No point making a round wreath when you need a tall hantaran, right?

So there you go. 

Maybe I'll buy more and try again later. 

Hopefully I could do more prettier :D

Simple hantaran~

One of the things I noticed these days are too complicated and elaborated hantarans. Like, wth...

Some are so full with beads and flowers, that they don't compliment the things they are holding, obviously.

I am not against it, it just that sometimes its too much too look at. :(

Well, I guess I am more into simple, uncomplicated, and fill with fresh flowers. 

Such as below findings: 

Taken from gossip blog, cant remember where. credit to you~ :P

Simple, fresh and just cute! 

That's my aim!

*sebenarnya katie pemalas gilaa. :P *

Toodles!

Theme? Color? Hantaran?

Hey everyone~

I think I haven't post any post for.....okay I forgot I just post one yesterday on the berries. Teehee. But hey, I have been really quite for these past months. Well, I've been busy! I went to Singapore for two days straight, on Sat I went with Syida, Atun & Khair. Went to Bugis Village, Iluma, Lil India, Mustafa centre. I bought myself Paul Smith Rose. The smell is amazing, like I'm walking with a bouquet of roses. The sweet smell of roses, without feeling like drenching myself in rose water. Yummy smelling perfume! Then I think I overworked my legs. =.="

The next day I went with Dad and Khyru. I bought Braun Buffel's wallet for him and he bought me Crabtree & Evelyn gift set that also match my perfume, roses! So, I could safely say that I can cross a few things from my hantaran list. So here's the list::

For him: (7)

::Sirih (beetle leaves)

::Manisan (sweets)

::Wallet & Belt & Watch

::Shoes

::Coat & Shirt

::Bag

:: Ring (?)

For her(5) --- Why is mine is smaller quantity than him??

::Sirih (beetle leaves)

::Manisan

::Body set (Crabtree & Evelyn)

:: Watch & Perfume

::Ring & Mas Kawin (dowry)

So, I'm thinking of mine is mix of pink,peach and purple and him is probably white and green... Or blue and white. I keep on thinking that I have to do my own hantaran and so I already pick up the theme and color and how I envisioned to do it, however, Khyru point it out to me that I am supposed to create hantaran for HIM while I was thinking that his hantaran, his mom supposed to do it..... I am one crazy chick! Of course for my hantaran, I am supposed to get it, not I am giving it to myself.... Geezz. =.="

Other than that, I am still thinking about the mini dais or pelamin. Am thinking of using my dad sofa (cos I'm too lazy to tempah all this thing coz we are just going to do a small intimate gathering and after that kenduri doa selamat). Next, am still sourcing flowers. And I haven't finalized the design yet. There are a lot of design that I'm eyeing right now, and keep on changing a few times a day... Or depends on things that I need to do. Then there's check list that I think I haven't check yet. Especially on the most priority one, that is... wedding course. I only know that in Johor usually they charge RM120 and by weekly. Probably this 16 & 17 July I'll go. What else should I do eh? Other check list? Photographer I'm not sure..... I know the importance of the day and those shits, but.... am not sure. I know few guys that good in taking pics, and I already enlisted one to help me on the day itself, but he's not professional but I love his pics! So for now, I'll just wait around..... For the mini dais, for sure I'll do it my self. And I diy few other things too, the hantaran, the flowers, the gift back. However, since my way of thinking is more to western side, and my parent keep on disagreeing on things I chosed. Sighhhh..

Oh well. I just hope everything will work on their best side! I want to enjoy my day, so am keeping the list small and intimate. I don't want to make it too grand, just some thing that I envisioned long time ago. Am not sure I could get everyone to come, but don't take it too hard as I don't want to spend 30k just for a grand wedding then later I'm going to regret as I don't have any money left to live my life. So, that's me. Okay people, time for lunch!
