Trip to New Delhi

In February 2011 my family organised a trip New Delhi.  My father wanted to visit the Taj Mahal in Agra.  This time my father, 2 brothers his wife and me.  My husband did not join us.  He was more interested in visiting Kerala.  Next time-lah my dear husband.............! 

Taj Mahal was so....... beautiful.  The work on the marble wau......  no words to describe.  You have to see it for yourself.  You will wonder how people can put up such a building at that time.   

 

Taj Mahal .... the 3rd wonder of the world that I have visited. 



I was fascinated to see the beauty of Taj Mahal.

Baju Kurung Kak Yati stitched for her son's wedding.  She wanted something simple with more stones on it rather than sequins.  So I used more stones and fewer beads.  It looked very sweet.



  

Trip to Beijing

On behalf of my office club, I was asked to organised a trip overseas.  Majority of them chose Beijing, China.  So end of last year 06.11.2010 around 20 of us went to Beijing for 6 days 5 nights.  Vacasia tour was the travel agent.  My group has to join another group from Kedah & Langkawi.  They were very nice and friendly people.  We had a wonderful and memorable time together.   

The whole group at the feet of "Great Wall of China".

Welcome

Just created a blog for fun to share my recent activities, beads and design.  I have to thank Nadia for helping me to create this blog as the idea of creating this blog came from her.  Thanks Nadia....

    

My journey on beads started from this dress.  This dress bought fame to me and Kak Nun was my 1st customer.   In fact my beading started in 1995 when I won the 1st prize in a beading contest organised by PUSPANITA Jab. Akauntan Negara Malaysa (JANM).  To participate in that contest Kasuma offered me her dress and that was the first time I am stitching beads on a dress.  I was surprise when I won the 1st prize.  Later I have to represent JANM at PUSPANITA Ministry of Finance.  There I was given a piece of  black cloth and within an hour I have to sew beads on it.  Then again, I never thought that I will win the 1st prize.  Not many knew about it, actually it started from then but not at a big scale.



Puan Farawati wanted this design to be stitched on her dress.  This dress is to be worn on her in-laws wedding and it is the theme colour.  I made slight modification by adding stones, beads and sequins matching the dress.  Being a sweet looking lady, she look much more sweeter with this dress on her.

 

This design was sewn at the request of Puan Azira.  The design originated from a boutique that stitches all her baju kurung.  She wanted the same design and gave me the sample.  I made slight changes on the design, used expensive stones, beads and glass pearls.  It was lovely.  Puan Azira looked very gorgeous on this dress not only because of my beadwork, she herself is a very pretty looking lady.

My punjabi dress, stitched by a Pakistan tailor at City One Plaza, Masjid India.  I did not like the plain green cloth stitch on the neck and the sleeve.  I was terribly cracking my head how to go about it.  Then I had an idea of stitching the beads around the neck and the sleeve.  Not bad ....... !!!
