An Owl A Day 2018wk 6

an owl a day 2018 wk 5

D56.18.2.4 An owl a day a sewing day
Managed to do some alterations for my girl's dress and my top.
Sew the curtains today, so satisfying, loving the material more . .
Hopw my mil will love it too.

D57.18.2.5 An Owl A Day A happy day
I visited my friend , Choo to share my cheesy fingers and new year cake.
Her little princess is walking very steadily at almost 13 months old. Very curious girl and active too.


D58.18.2.6 An owl a day a repeat day
was looking thru my toilet window . . .
Managed to lengthen a playsuit n sew a dress which was way too huge
hmmm... got to sew my son's 'bed sheet' next week.
i learned to sew a buttonhole too. need to do it for the bed sheet.
yes, need to buy buttons.
 my toilet window


D59.18.2.7 An Owl A day a busy day
I had arranged to bring the curtains to my mum-in-law and have lunch with her, but I could not reach her nor my sil (who stayed with her). I was eager to hang and see the outcome. Nevertheless, I had to bring them to my hubby to send it to them when they finally home. I was doing my next target, shopping for material for my Sofa backrest and owl/master room glass panel. Finally, got something I like and cheap. I dare not buy anything too expensive incase I failed my sewing. I wasn't good at it. Then proceed to buy more mushrooms, my in-laws (sil's parents) will be coming my house for our reunion dinner. It will be very warming and hope to prepare a good dinner for all.
Finally, the best came, my girl cooked a fusion spaghetti dinner. I could smelled the fragrant while she was cooking, making me hungry. Yummilicious! my girl is really 'mou tak teng'!!!

D60.18.2.8 An owl a day a sewing day
I successfully sew the sofa back seat, My son's sofa bed cover n a huge bolster's case, alter my girl's dress and alter her pyjamas! I feel great!!!

D61.18.2.9 An owl TGIF
Finally, I am done cleaning my owls cabinet for the year!!! Can't remember how many I have , but I love them all!


D61a.18.2.10 An owl a DAY A FORGOTTEN DAY
