the end is the beginning is the end

Hi peeps,
I'm gonna have to leave this blog for a while.
Sorry for any inconvenience ever caused..
I'll see you again in early December, insha Allah :)

Built-In Storages in Small Space

I came across this article and thought I'd share with you some of my favourites which will suit well in a small space.

I'm sure you've seen some floor to ceiling book shelves, yet these ones caught my interest since they're nicely put in often ignored space.

Like this one in a narrow hall, complete with display of pictures on the opposite wall.

Or this one which frames the outdoor view, creates a small reading nook by the window.

This next one is also a floor to ceiling storage, but it's for shoes! I really should built this baby :D

Animal Instinct

inaku™ handmade is goin' wild!

Zebra?! Jaguar?! And each with snake!

Don't miss all the excitement (^_^)

Yay!

I won a giveaway from Helloilmare!

What have I won anyway? Apparently one of these fine sketch books from Oma Anna :)

So happy! Can't wait to get my hands (doodling) on it (^_^)

... so much for my fabric fasting *sigh*.

1 Room 3 Looks

Same room, same furnitures, different accessories. Then what do you get? Completely different looks!

Note how the only big difference is on the wall hanging. The throw pillows? They are the same, only changed the cover. The table lamps? Only changed the top cap. Even the area rug is the same, but they put different smaller rugs on top of it. How easy is that :)

Tempur

Tempur is the name of a village at the hillside of Gunung Muria (Mount Muria), not too far from the city of Jepara. It boasts one of the most beautiful natural view I've ever seen!

I had fun playing with fresh cool water in it's mountain river :)

Eid Mubarak!

Taqabbalallâhu minnâ wa minkum
May Allah accept from us and you (our fasts and deeds)

I had a chance to visit the Great Demak Mosque (Masjid Agung Demak) on the way to my husband's hometown. It is one of the historical and oldest mosques in Indonesia, you could feel its rich culture.

Since it's forbidden to take pictures inside the mosque, I could only take some snapshots of the exterior.

for the teachers

I decided to make (very simple) bags for my kids' teachers. They're actually made from tea towel I bought at IKEA, I really love the colors and motives so I kinda hacked and used them as fabric material instead.

I didn't put any lining inside so the bag came out more like a foldable roomy shopping bag. I didn't put any embroidery or embellishments either since I couldn't find any that suit both my preference and my kids'. But I think it turned out nice - simple yet nice. Hopefully the teachers will have some good use to it :)
