REASONS FOR BEING ABSENT


Latest and simplest... From an amateur beader... Took me two days to complete...including intermission of lunch break, Harith's chores ect, etc......


 
This dress aged ten years old... a make-over on the sleeves


 
Another make-over (above) ... it was previously beaded for AH's Mama's wedding reception...(below). Carefully unpicked every single beads and re sewn... on the sleeves only.













 My first bead work done for Harith's Mama's third wedding reception held in our home...two years back. A daring attempt on this art work using needles, threads and beads. The sewing was done on the sleeves, on the body's middle portion, bottom corner and shoulder... The design was beaded on the batik prints of 100% cotton fabric. 
The fabric was a gift from my elder sister, Paezah. TQ sis.


Free Estee Lauder bag was half beaded for a little glitter.  It was beaded on a denim fabric with ready-made floral design.



Below was thought to be the best... a few days later...I changed my mind and  it transformed as above... The fabric was a 53rd birthday gift from La Vie en-rose...

Below was how it once looked like. I thought it was too simple and resulted as the above... the completed version. This costume was another gift from my sis Paezah.


Below... lilac Baju Kurong with One of my favorite designs ...



 A head scarf that was 10 years old and traced with beads to add glitter and a little face lift...



Since "The Lady Next To ME" is home after her major SMP exam... less of my time was spent in this blog ... thus I missed reading blogs and email updates
BUT trust me...time was well spent.....most of it was with my needles, beads and sleeves of my dresses... My bedroom carpet and floor suddenly became pricky... they were caused by  fallen beads that missed the needle and thread...

I have not ventured further by using sequins and bigger stones... perhaps later...
