Projects before Easter

On this long weekend I uploaded more pics. First of all, this is the newest bag I made for my daughter this week. I used pretty spring theme fabric that Andrea, my 2009 Summertime swap partner gave me last year.

Early this week I've got sweet surprised award from Leah.
Thanks , Leah!



The other sweetest thing ...I won give away from Christy's blog. A gallon size baggie of Mill House Iin honey bun strips! So lucky am I ,
thanks a lot to Christy :)










Yesterday I finished the top of my Bee Addicted String Blocks project.
Not having good light when I took these pics.
The most I enjoyed all this week was this moment...
Couple of days ago we all had good times at the mall. After finished shopping my little boy found an interesting spot of Indonesian batik painting. He asked to try painting there. The first step the tutor lady showed him how to paint.
Here are all the process in traditional batik painting.

My boy was so excited in painting and coloring so that his big brother and sis were also interested in trying to participate. Here in Indonesia we use natural dyes made from fruit, tree bark or flowers to paint batik. This is specifically for the painted batik handmade, not the ones that made in batik printing factory.





















We all really have fun there. This was the first time for them did the batik painting (so do I).

At last I wish you all Happy Easter :)

String Blocks


It has been a quiet week for me lately. I mean "quiet" for other things, but busy and getting addicted in doing these colorful string blocks. I have sewn more than 40 now! Get other 20's from my Bee Addicted's friends. Don't know exactly how many blocks more to sew..

I really enjoy watching their colorful strings while cloudy and gloomy weather day outside.
