3As and their Angry Birds Cushions

Senang sekali rasanya tiap kali mengerjakan sesuatu, dan setelah 'sesuatu' itu dikirimkan ke customer, sang customer hepi menerimanya d(^_^)b

Foto-foto ini adalah jepretan Bunda Elly dan di-share ke pilo-pilo, modelnya adalah anak-anak Bunda Elly sendiri dan bukan anak tetangga ... hehehehe...

Bantal pesanan dengan aplikasi angry birds ini kita kerjakan sebelum lebaran. Waktu itu lagi heboh-hebohnya kejar-kejaran nyelesain goody bag ultah karena libur lebaran sudah cukup dekat. Hasilnya, setelah bantal-bantal tsb selesai langsung saja saya kirim tanpa difoto terlebih dahulu *ouch!

Thanks God sehari-dua hari setelah bantal-bantal tsb diterima, fotonya langsung di-share ke kita *yihaaa

Ini foto ke tiga bantal tsb

Dan ini pemilik masing-masing bantal ... Bunda Elly's 3A children ... left to right: Ashlee (kid no. 3) - Azfar (kid no. 2) - Azmil (kid no. 1) ^_^

Foto terakhir adalah neng Ashlee yang sedang main cho cho train dengan menggunakan sederetan bantal-bantalnya.... how cute ^^

Thanks so much Bunda Elly for keep ordering from pilo pilo, sharing these cute pictures, and allowing me to upload the photos to my blog. Muaaach to four of you ^^

Usahana @ Singapore

Hi y'all.... ada yang kangen? gak? aah jangan gitu dooonk, kangenin saya donk pliiisss :D :D :D

Well, udah hampir 2 minggu blog ini terbengkalai, why? gak laen gak bukan karena saat ini yang menjadi prioritas utama adalah antar jemput anak sekolah, nungguin les, dll... that's why i have to say sorry to those moms yang ngerasa komunikasinya kog rada susah belakangan ini.

Btw, thanks God di bulan ini orderan goody ultah kebanyakan adalah goody pengulangan dari motive-motive yang lama, so bisa dibilang para asisten udah bisa bergerak sendiri tanpa harus ditongkrongin dari awal sd akhir proses pengerjaan. Jadilah saya bisa hanya ngunjungin workshop 3-4 jam sehari, sisanya saya jalan lagi buat ngurus 2 bos kecil saya :p

Well, hari ini khusus bela2in konsen di blog buat publish foto-fotonya dear B. Who's B? well, she's my one and only dearest friend who collect all the amigurumi we've made.

These pictures were sent to me yesterday. Total of 30 great pictures of one of her ami "Usahana" that was accompanied her to her Singapore trip last week ^^

Great pictures rite? Sorry, I just upload 5 of them, the rest I keep for myself hehehe. Thanks B again and again.

Hallo, I'm Back

Hi ... hi ... hi to all of you. Is there anyone miss me out there??? *ngarep dikangenin hehe*

Thanks dear Lydia and kiss to baby Claire ^^ ... This photo surely is a great boost to start my day ^^

Gillian Henson's 1st B'day Bash

Remember my cute customer 'Gillian'? For her bday, her mommy 'Linda' ordered 180 pcs towels as goody bag. Well, as usual in every party that Linda held, the number of guests always more than she expected. Hehe she surely knew how to throw a party, that's why nobody wants to miss it.

This is the picture of Gillian's Bday cake. I asked permission to post this picture to my blog. Dear Linda said -quoted- "silahkaaan... monggoooo" hehehe, this is one out of hundreds picture from Gillian's Bday.

Linda has additional order for Gillian's guests who has not yet get a goody bag. I am very happy to take this order, especially at first place I forgot to take picture of the towels. hadeuh.

And this is the towel we made for dear Gillian. Photo taken with my pocket camera, 'cos dear hubby forgot to bring his SLR camera from home. hadeuh-lagi.

Hmmm, I wonder, if Linda threw a party like this 3 times a year for her 3 kids, how many presents do each of the kids have? I bet Linda must have another house just for these gifts only. Hehehe. hi-five lin ^_^

The One and Only BIBRINA

Last Friday, I got a nice package of souvenirs from Japan from my lovely customer -slash- new friend Bibrina. Let's address her as "B". It's always fun to get free gifts especially great ones *uhuuuk-cough-uhuuuk-more-please* :p

Not just those souvenirs, today B sent me 45 great photos of my bunny amigurumi @ Japan. B brought her there on her one week business trip *face-green-of-jealousy* LOL :p

Here 5 photos of them (not easy to choose though).

Photo 1: Bunny and sweet juicy strawberries. B said, those are the biggest and the yummiest strawberries she has ever had. Ehhm, I had bigger *aaaw-ditimpukin-strawberry-ama-Bibrina

Photo 2: Bunny on B's lunch tray. *slurp-drolling :D

Photo 3: Bunny on Disney Sea, Japan. Can you see where's my bunny? ^^

Photo 4: B's shopping bag. Whatever it was she bought there, I got some *woohhooo

Photo 5: The one and only -sweet as strawberry- Bibrina

Today, Tuesday February 1st, 2011, I will deliver 5 more amigurumi to her (can't tell you what they are 'cos some of them I have not started selling yet). And I hope that very soon, B will go to Dubai, European countries, USA and many more new places and bring my amigurumi with her, so that I'll have more great stuffs to post on my blog. Hahaha. As for me, I ..... I .... I cry *woaaaa-pengen-jalan-jalan-jugaaaaa T_T (ROTFL) :p

Ben's 2nd Birthday

Wohhooo, another great day. 20.01.2011.

For today post, I'll show you the pictures of Ben Nardo birthday. Ben is Ms. Meiny's baby no. 1, and he is turning 2 on January 5th.

Here's Ben and his mommy. Photos taken from Meiny's album on Facebook.

And here's Ben and his birthday goodies.

Those cushions were finished by December 27th, and delivered to Meiny's house at Sunter by 28th. From Sunter, those cushions later sent to Samarinda, East Kalimantan using air flight. Wow, bon voyage cushions ^^

Lastly, Happy Birthday, Birthday Boy!!! Have some cakes, sing some songs, play and play the whole day long. Have a wonderful day! Lots of love and kisses and lots of presents, too ^^

January 11th, 2011

What a great day today. 11-01-11. Ckckck, I bet many couples get married today. Or perhaps many (cesarean) babies are born on this exact day. Hehehe.

Anyway, I actually don't have something new to share in my blog today but well, I will not let this great day pass just like any day. So, since I woke up this morning my head couldn't stop thinking what to write ... what to write... what to write ... hahaha

Take a look at these pictures. These are fresh from the oven. I capture them at 12.30 this afternoon when I pick up my Sydney from school.

Yeah, my Koala amigurumi is hanging on little Clairine's school bag.

This is the owner of the bag "Clairine". She doesn't want to look at the camera. Hehe can't blame her, she's a bit sleepy. Toddlers get cranky easily when they are hungry, sleepy, etc right moms? :P

So glad that my koala ami has found a new bear-friend. Phew, finally there's something to post on 11-01-11 (^_^)

Winston Part 2

To have 31 posts during these 31 days of December, one must open her old photo albums. Hehehe. Yup, that's what I did. And I was surprised to see so many photos that I could use. I guess it was a blessed I didn't post them back then *wink-wink

Okay, old photo that I'm going to show you next is about Winston and his cushion. Who's Winston? Winston a.k.a Winwin is Ms. Lia's baby boy. She ordered my cushion for Winston's 1st birthday back on May 2010.

This was the front-cushion-case in progress. I sent this picture for her approval. You probably have seen this exact monkey in my towel and my bathrobe but the first pattern actually was made for Winwin's cushion.

My hubby drew it, not me (as usual :p). I just described him what I want, and gave him a piece of paper and a pencil, he did the rest hehehe. What a lucky me.

To see the photo of all Winwin birthday cushions you can click here.

Okay next pictures were taken from Lia's album. The 'boy' who's sitting next to my cushions is not Winwin -I repeat- it is not Winwin. Its Barney in yellow suit. Hahahaha.

Okay, here you go. This is the one and only Winston. Cute like a button, see?

Thanks dear Lia, for sharing me these lovely pictures. Now, 13 stories checked, 18 to go.

Cool Grandpa of Evan & Kevin

Remember my cousin Santy? Mom of Evan and Kevin? Yeah, today post is about them. Before I share you more story about Evan and Kevin, here I post great pictures of their Grandpa, the jet skier.

If I tell you this man is in his 40-ies, you would probably believe me, 'cos he looks so much younger than his age, but mind you, Uncle H is my Dad's youngest brother and my Popsie is 70 y.o so their age difference couldn't be that much (^_*). Here is Uncle H with matching orange-color-jet-ski-suit and orange jet ski. Original title of this photo is "Cover Boy Danau Tondano" d(^___^)b

I got all Uncle H pictures from Andy's album, Andy is Santy's hubby. There are so many great pictures in it, it made me difficult to choose which one to post. Here's another picture of him with matching blue-color-jet-ski-suit and blue jet ski :p

And again this is my Uncle H (original title of this photo is "Akung -Grandpa- in action"), with again matching black-color-jet-ski-suit and black jet ski. I begin to think that he bought those jets ski based on the color of his jet ski clothing and not on the way round. Hahahaha.

Another jet skier picture. This is Santy, proud mom of Evan and Kevin. I heard that Uncle H has 3 jets ski, one for him, one for Santy, and the other one for Lina (Santy's younger sister). Ckckck, they really love that sport #ancungin-empat-jempol

So, what those great pictures have to do here on my blog. Well, next pictures will explain.

These are Evan and Kevin a.k.a cute sons of Santy a.k.a grandsons of Uncle H, with my monkey towels, just after bath-time (^_*). That's it. The End. Hehehehehe. Top-Markotob.

Customer From Heaven

These monkey towels set of 3 (1 bath towel, 1 sport towel and 1 face towel) were the order of Ms. Tien Widya.

Here I post her comment on my FB wall after I sent her the package. Seriously, to read something like this from a customer made me more than happy. Yeah, I was super-d-duper happy ^_^.

Second order from her were my monkey amigurumi and a bathrobe for her son "Sean" with -again- monkey motive embroidered on it.

Here is my Monkey-Ami

And here is Sean's bathrobe. As usual, my Sydney became my instant model for product photo session (whether she liked it or not ^_*).

And ..... of course, here I copy and paste her comment on my FB wall 5 minutes after I delivered those goodies.

I now put Ms. Tien Widya's name on my "customer-from-heaven" list. Ban ban kamsyah Tien for not-like-but-LOOVEEE my goodies ^^.

Super Duffy .....!!!

Daphne Louise Gandakusuma a.k.a Duffy is our dear friend Ms. Daniella Tjahjanto's 2 years old daughter. Isn't she super adorable? If you think Duffy is super pretty, wait until you see her mom. If you think, Daniella is super blessed to have a cute girl like Duffy as her daughter, well mommies, just an info, she has three more at her house. Superb huh!!! (^_^)

The photos shown here are taken from Daniella's photo album "Hoping for No Pain, No Sadness, No Anger, NOVEMBER"

Super BIG thanks to her for taking these great photos of Duffy with pilo-pilo's products.

Here's Duffy with her garden cushion.

And here's Duffy with her bunny amigurumi.

Again, SUPERB huh?

Lastly, I quote this from Daniella's photo about Duffy "Everything in life I share, except of course my Ratty bear (Duffy's favorite stuffed animal doll) ... and my Dora ... and my Elmo ... and my candies ... and my toys ... all mine mine mine!!! (^_^)

Duffy, we super love youuuuuuuu .... !!! *Give Duffy a super big hug and kiss*

Somebody wears my handmade bag - part 2

My daily schedule every 12.30 is picking up my Sydney from School. Sometimes I was late, but other time I was early. Well, nothing special rite 'cos other moms also experiencing the same routine ^_^ hehe

While waiting for her, I keep notice that one of the nanny always carry this denim bag that for sure is one that we made. Judging by the look and the color of it.. well, it was worn for sometimes now. ^_^. I'm feeling very very happy, 'cos you know that was my first plan when I made my goody; kid who received it will wear it (well, most of the time the nanny is the one who carry it cos this little boss just too busy playing and doesn't care about his/her belonging :p). Its very relief to know that our goodies were not passed to the maid, or worse re-pack and become a gift to whoever having birthday next :)

Somebody wears my handmade bag :)

Last Saturday (July 3rd) we've got invitation from a friend to celebrate her boy first birthday. Me & hubby were late cos we still have to work on that day .. hix.. Anyway, we came when the room already packed with her guests. We sat on the table in the corner cos that was the only table left, and voilaa in front of us there's my green-dino bag hanging on a stroller. I took a picture of it with my blackberry in silence, but I noticed the owner of the bag have a glimpse of what I did, I hope she didn't think that I plan to grab something out of it. hahahaha. Lately, I met kids wear my t-shirts at mall, or wear my denim bag at school, etc. I couldn't describe my feeling every time I saw kids wear my stuff. Aaah sooo P-R-O-U-D. ^_^
