For our Anniversary Celebration this year we went to the Legend Water Chalets, PD. Tahun lepas berdua je sambut anniversary kat Pangkor…this year…bertiga! Yahoo!!
The resort is awesome! Let the pictures do the talking…

Adam especially loved the HUGE bath tub. Terkinja2 mandi dlm tu…sampai tersedak2 tertelan air (he purposely nak masukkan muka/kepala dlm air) pun dia tak heran…
look at his face..excited sgt ;)
We had soo much fun. Hubby took about a trillion photos. But most of the photos are only of Adam and I. This is the only one with all three of us in the same pic;
Happy 2nd Anniversary Hubby Dearest…I love you so much ! Best 2 years of my life, no doubt =)
******************************************************
You can see in the above pic I’m wearing Adam in a Mei Tai – a modernized Chinese inspired baby carrier (Go Google Mei Tai. It’s a wonderful versatile carrier). It’s handmade! It was my most complex project yet but was definitely worth it.
I looked at many patterns before coming up with the modified design I want. The fabric I bought from Nagoya dirt cheap – rm6 per meter. It is the softest, smooth fabric, and yet also very thick and strong. Since Adam had trouble with the previous handmade carrier (wrap) because the fabric was uncomfortable, I wanted to make sure this one must be made of really soft fabric.
It worked! Adam stayed in the carrier for hours, didn’t complain once! I was able to walk by the beach, went out for meals, went sightseeing etc with him in carrier and he didn’t even have to miss his naptimes! He was so happy playing with my scarf or looking around or simply sleeping comfortably.
I made the straps wide and lightly padded for the wearer’s comfort. It has a rounded headrest for Adam that is also padded. The back panel is interchangeable. That means I can take it out and choose another fancy fabric to place in the slot. I can make as many panels as I like (only need small fabric scraps) and change them to suit my mood. The one in the picture is my favourite fabric so far – a fabric with handbag prints. I’ve been saving it to make handbags but can’t resist using a little of it here too.
I just love the fact that I can carry my baby close, have my hands free and also look fashionable all at the same time. Yay for babywearing!!

oh how i wish i hv hasil kerja to show u!
i started doing manik for my lengan kurung 2 months back. but tetiba stop bile memikirkan if im pregnant wiz a boy...kang my boy jadi he-she tak?
oh nauzubillah!
dot, bestnye legend waterchalet tu..kompem aku pegi nanti. Nak pakai mei tai gakkk.. ;)
MOT,
No, no..if it's a boy then he'll be a VERY CREATIVE boy! Go on, siapkan your beading!
Chun,
best giler..sila2 pegi...jom2,pakai mei tai...(cpt2 cari "bende" nak isi dlm mei tai tu...hehe)
wah tat's a great way of seeing things positively. I definately would love to have a creative boy.
Bleh lar start balik buat beading mcm ni, hihi.
thinking of tat, my first pregnancy i kuat tido but now my babies both early riser and hardly sleep during the day. I guess sume itu mitos pregnancy belaka
MOT,
i read all these amazing blogs where these crafty mommies craft with their children. even 8 year old boys can sew his own bag pack! how awesome is that..
as long they maintain their 'machoness' then tat's fine wiz me...takut kang jadi 'au-au'...
love the carrier, i am still a wrapper..lol nak buat mei tai ni but tak buat2 lagi. but yay for baby wearing, i wear Ben in a kain sarong in the house, that budak is "allergic" to the floor..and now i master dah wear him on my own on my back.
retail theraphy,
insyaAllah a little creativity won't turn them aww aww =)
aida,
my first choice would be a wrap too but since i can't get any decent material to make a wrap with i went with a mei tai. you pakai kain sarong as in kain batik ke? cos i saw the pic of Frank wearing ben in something that looks like kain pelikat..? how long is that kainla..enough to make a wrap ke?
suke nya tgk akak suka menjahit. Saya pn suka jugak. Tp tak berkesempatan sebabnya saya masih belajar lagi. Jarang2 je dpt blk rmh
Assalamualaikum..
