February has been awesome, started off with my Baby M starting school, then celebrating her birthday on her second day of school, and I get to pick her up that day..
We had dinner because my husband got off work early so yeay! Then I had to honour to wake her up for another school day and fetch her.. It was a nice feeling. She didnt shed any tears. just all smiles and went hand in hand with her teacher and waved me goodbye.
The following week was a bit of a rush, I reach a little tad late, but all is well. We head home and then came Friday.. She didnt want to go school she said she just want to sleep, so i carried her. Also it is the start of my laloolang event with Artisans' Haven, so I send my stuff over to a friend nearby before I send her off to school. We reach school safe, without tears. she kept her shoes, hand over her bag to her teacher, I was signing in on the book then she pulled my shirt, so I thought she just wanna salam me, instead, she let out the loudest cry and said she dont want school and just wanna go home with me to sleep!
Oh baby! I know! I want sleep too! Haha. After trying for 5minutes, it didnt stop, and with the teacher's cue that it is going to be alright i had to separate myself from her, hear her cry like I murdered someone, and just made my exit feeling horrible. Haha.
Ah the challenges mothers face.. I got busy through my errands, and before i knew it, it is time to fetch her home. So I did. The moment she saw me, she smiled, waved at me, then made dash, carry her bag and salam me. How cute is that???
So we got home happy. And she demanded a movie treat which her Abah complied happily. We watched Batman Lego Movie. She slept 3/4 of the whole movie! I fell asleep too at the start.
On Sunday we made it down to The National Museum for my duty, but i was horribly sick and was not in the mood, it was gloomy, weather was raining and stopping. I sold one little polka dot pink and purple girl's shorts over the weekend. Which is great!
Then we had dinner before we head home and rest. We could hardly breathe so visit the clinic on Monday.
I started vomitting that night and didnt feel any better the next day so another visit to the doctor with another day of MC.
The following weekend we didnt fetch Baby M to allow us to recover fully. It went off like a race car. I got completed my new pullover sweater for my niece, so I conveniently named it the Nadiah Pullover!
Quickly after I posted it, I received a request for a pair of mother and son sweater just like it, so I conveniently made a Nadiah & Iman Pullover set, just like that!
Pretty, yes? Why Nadiah, because the first one I made is for Nadiah, my niece. Why Iman? Because Iman is an unisex name, it can be a girl or boy. So there you go! Looks like #sewbasicsg is looking good.. Alhamdulillah!
And just as I thought I get to rest, it is already Monday all over again! And I received another order for another mother and son set! She requested the Lane Raglan Hoodie with a Lil Raglan hoodie.
Oh thank you Allah, for the blessings!
I hope I can maintain the quality of my sewing and receive positive feedbacks consistently.
Yesterday I made the Speedy Pants for my Baby M for she is going diaperless - I blogged about it prior to this being posted, so read it here. That cute pants are too adorable!
And finally completed my sweater for an upcoming trip, but there is a mindless mistake. I didn't put zipper, and I dont know why I made bands, I didn't put eyelet in my hood either, so no idea how that will hold up. So people, when the mind or body say no, you have to listen, don't sew.
I dont know if I will add snaps on those or leave it as is. But surely will wear it because it is pretty and I get to match up with my mom.
Now i am left with making a zip up hoodie for the husband. And another one for me that would match his.
Since Baby M wont be with me this weekend to celebrate her grandad's birthday, I might as well sew a storm eh.
Thursday, the last day of work week for me.. And I got this horrible pain between my brows above my nose bridge, conveniently right after lunch. Took actifast panadol, hopeful it would go away. It is stinkingly annoying. I feel like my face is flattened due to the pain. An hour passed, no reduction in pain. Not sure if I should see a doctor. But I got lots of sewing orders to finish tonight! So let's endure, fight on and see it goes away tomorrow.
I finally finished the order for my cousin, a matching Raglan Hoodie set for her and her son. It is adorable!
I have since received 3 separate orders. Alhamdulillah... And when I announced to the husband, he quickly reminded me of his long overdued bean bag. Okkaayyyy.. I need to sort that one out first then.
Weekend, as usual, went by oh so fast. I wasn't feeling great about going to work today. How I wish I can just stay home. I went to work anyway, and at a red light, a lorry inch forward beside me and gave me a thumbs up. I chuckled. It had been so long since I get that on the road. It made me flashback the good times I had with Baby Blast. Anyways, I was probably too tired today, I couldnt make it go on main stand. And knowing my luck, I didnt push it any harder, it is 90% chance of me dropping the bike than popping it to main stand.
So today, the last 2 days of February. A good good month for me, a challenging March ahead.
How's your February?
A happy person overall,
Jun
