First package was a special handmade blanket made by my grandma who passed away 6 months ago. Mah we called her. The colors don’t match perfectly, the material came from any scrap cloth she could use. But still it’s very meaningful for me and the whole family. Mah made about 6 blankets, and I’m very honored to have the chance to keep one.<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5510390072138498674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTZjBKRD388AoAPgQUw4VzqAppVAbOEjY2HyH-ypKq6YhOCMYhjSU0IP6fV4kk19VaH81GSYwhjdijXeZcrZjKWww3LRumDO_j6-ecvJ6DFfnP6H4CJJOaVIwOZ9uW6xvkQimLBHacbUk1/s320/DSC01495.JPG" border="0" /><br />The first package, has moved me somehow. I feel like I to make something like that. No, not a blanket, something smaller maybe, combine with a little tatting here and there. At the same time, I found an online store selling a manual sewing machine. I NEVER use a real sewing machine, but yeaaah…whatever I bought it anyway. 2 days later taaadaaa the second package has arrived.<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5510390088331437378" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVMvw2Dc_gRMl6sPSMiYEoEkdrC5B8P0ti0W5mXwlVxJbk7OEQfNBFqYD8GHnZU7prP-B2CO3opGcAodtgMke_cRxBqlMbkFuywE_Ex0ob3em-wIpumQKzPnITMnvLuuZK3x6Qyp063EnB/s320/DSC01501.JPG" border="0" /><br />Still manage to make a straight line though. To make something real, still waaaay ahead LOL<br /><br />Ow and this week also a great week. It’s always a pleasure to meet new tatter friend. Especially if they are near. I found, online, 2 Indonesian who like tatting too. Wooohoo. Never met them personally, but we talk sometime by email or Facebook message. Wish I can see more and more tatter in Indonesia.</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Next week is a long holiday in Indonesia celebrating Idul Fitri.

Some major events in my days, makes it difficult to enjoy tatting, put them in picture, and blog them.<br /><br />Like I said before, I had a month of tax exam, a month of study, and a month of tat-free. Naaaaah…..you won’t believe such lie, will you? LOL. A quote from a movie, well not exactly the precise words I think : “ A drunker always have something to celebrate” ; and I always have reason to tat ^_^. The reasons were silly, yet I managed some time to make some patterns from Mary Konior book.<br /></span><div><div><div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414177937504456754" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 219px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 211px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2vEAcrtYcKSQFULDhe3i9QI1X9i14SnSRThDBqieDHX9AcWxOmAEn_nZpFmVP8ZvSHpcEB7MaQ91wvCBWIl1GoDhaTUmQ-NkIOeqGRxb714ZF5I0sbgiQxR8wmxFyHpBIROb9KrEzDNkb/s320/IMG_1594.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414177929008179698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 229px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 282px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip_Oi62jb52P0_fiAh3U6H9TCWpVwnt48cYKAQ-ECfAsy1oNyceNNSri_z3g_szMneKPmSY9bvH_RmLFdPMbgPY3RT-ozBSOzxioLh8839T3L_IW5tlnSn6-sBUMblwRQk9tqFq4sNd8Ym/s320/IMG_1591.JPG" border="0" /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"><div><br />While struggling with my exams, I also planned to quit my old job, looked for new job, had some interviews, and fortunately, everything went well. Right after I finished my exam, I moved to my new job.<br /><br />A less-bright side of this new job is, they don’t give me internet connection. I won’t able having lunch reading my tatter friends’ blog like I used to, searching for ideas to tat, blogging or uploading pictures. All that have to wait until Saturday, after I sent my husband to office, done some housework, and get lunch prepared. Hoooouuuh see….I really gonna miss a lot of time with you girls….:((<br /><br />Enough about bragging that thing on my shoulder! Fact is I still have some time to sit back and tat. Right now I have 2 little projects. First project is to decorated this Christmas sock. Well, to be honest I’m not satisfied with the color, and the pieces I put. But, I have no choice on the sock’s color and I only have a little time to finished it, so it’s really the best I can get. Maybe I can do better next year. </div><div><br /> </div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414177941693107858" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 222px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzbaXebI3vZTSxdPfo9DC1teXoszT4oUwa8fWhoZpPGeM-AEAekTXJvgqVpkMtPQWhBH1eBUmzBMKvx-NZjbWIvoklYLIBbN8f1wTYdqMkH1xA6CO-VtfOY2NNzpUvQxQ6EG5364hB5JqW/s320/IMG_1595.JPG" border="0" /><br />Second project still from Mary Konior’s book. Masquerade table mat. I’m quite challenged to make it as big as I can. But to avoid dullness, I tend to stop once in a while, make another piece, then come back to continue this mat.

It simply because I'm really not a good student, failed to follow Jon's clear instruction!!!<br /><br /></span>I was, <span style="font-size:130%;color:#ffcccc;">unconciusly</span>, adding the count of DS after placing the beads. After slipped the bead, I secure the bead with one DS, and adding another 2 DS as instructed. After third quater, I realized, I have added another DS (times 8 for every beads) , made my ring more full than it's suppose to.Ended up with this modified piece.<br /><br />A close observation of Jon's example and a very detail image by Elizabeth's (though she added several DS on the chain, but same counts on the ring), I'm really sure that I've made a big mistake for they only have 2 DS after the beads. </span></p><span style="font-family:georgia;">Since opening a ring is not an option for me, there's nothing I can do than skip some DS's, 2 rings, adjusted the outside chains, ignoring the fact that the center motif looked like a 3-legged man, and conficed my DH that I did all the modification in purpose LOL </span><p><span style="font-family:georgia;">Then, I get confuse about this whole DS count. <span style="font-size:130%;color:#ffff99;">One question</span>, if the instruction is 5 - 5, after completing the picot, how may DS left? Is it 4 or 5? I never worried about this before, because without the cabone ring, if I do either 4 or 5 DS, as along as its consistent, guess I have no problem at all. But the DS for plastic ring have been counted accurately, adding more DS will result...another piece! ^_^</span></p><p><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">PS : once again, the first two pictures are not mine, added to my blog with generous permission from Jon and Elizabeth.

It's not my favorite step, so I tend to put them back on my treasure box, until I have a mood to sew them. And there, I was spending hours of sewing in the ends. Surprisingly, it's fun...to finally able to see the piece without any thread left over.</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">To think it for a while, I think I have made some from new pattern, I just don't have a chance to picture it. I'm taking tax class at night. Just right after office hour at 5, I'm rushing to my tax class until 8.30 pm. By the time I arrived at home at 9.30, I'm already too tired to do anything. Hope I can spend some time on this weekend to make new pattern and to give them a nice photo shoots. </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">I'm a bit uncomfortable to make a non-pictured blog. Feels like something is missing. But for now I really miss blogging. So, forgive me not able to share any picture.

Another days passed, another week passed, and I still hadn't prepared the pictures. But today, I open my flash disk, suddenly I realized the pictures are THERE this whole time LOL.

So sorry to share it to you, but I think I need to spill my mind and my feeling. </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Remember my trip to Singapore 2 weeks ago? I was doing a procedure called IUI (Intra Uterine Insemination); some of you might familiar with this procedure. For those who don't know IUI, this is how it works : </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">I was taking medicine for several days to stimulate folicles in my ovarium, I also having some injections until I'm ovulate. After I'm ready; my husband has to produce his sperm, bring it to lab, and they will "washed" the sperm to get the best of it. After the sperm ready, those 'tadpoles' are injected to my uterus and then we just hope for the best. </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">It was quite a stressful experience; I have to see doctor everyday for about 10 days , I have to remember all the dose he gave me, I also have to face my fear with needle, and dealing with the 75% of failure. Everybody reminds me not to get so anxious and stress. But it's rather easier to speak, isn't it? So, I tried (hardly) to enjoy my 2 weeks in Singapore, pretended that I'm on holiday! </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">And yesterday, after 2 weeks of waiting for the result, I had to accept the fact that my first attemp of IUI is officially...<span style="color:#ff0000;">FAILED</span>! I had my period yesterday evening. </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">I'm the weak one, so I told my husband, and I just kept crying all night. I saw my husband so worried about me, he's afraid that I can't handle this. Though I know that he also quite sad, but he's so strong and keep calming me down, makes my mourning time lot easier. </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">That was last night, and I kinda make a deal to my self <strong><em>I can pity my self all night long ,but only for ONE night! Tomorrow is a new day. </em></strong>Well, I'll try my best. Today, I make decision for my next plan : I am taking a break, no pills, no injections, no med check, find some distraction, let go all the fears, have fun, and just keep believing in His path. Wish me luck ! </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"> </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span>TatForFunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11278082891416540259noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460502733782339908.post-4871672401821869912009-06-02T08:32:00.000+07:002009-10-09T13:42:50.910+07:00HIBERNATION<div align="left"><span style="font-family:georgia;">Few weeks ago my husband asked me what is Hibernation?

And it's already a month since I wrote my last blog. I 've been busy this month. Many things should be done, and too bad, I also don't have many time left to tat and to blog. I've made some of tatted animals from my new book. I think I can upload their picture this week.<br /><br />Anyway, last weekend I finally had a chance to meet Jon. She's come all the way from Malaysia to Bandung with her big big family to do a lot shopping. Well, I can't describe how many it really is...but she said she was so tired...so I guess it's quite a lot hahaha...<br /><br />I'm trully sorry that I can't join her during the weekend. But I have a little time to see her at hotel, ad at the airport just before she flew back to Malaysia. It's only a short time, but I enjoy the meeting. At that chance, we exchanged gifts. And Jon was generous to me. Look what she gave me<br /><br /></span><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK6h4sjC9oM6JnNCfLm094FRIbM83CjfKFOOVuw1wihSUgnr7yJy-ZN33WX4GUVONF_mrX7L2ltxRU1uVs8D66G0tocQJi5ecVqXzTqLrZyjxCQ0jkUSI0z-uYHwg1jMWS3liUscTOHvZT/s1600-h/IMG_0820.JPG"></a><span style="font-family:georgia;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329549065360793490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBzsJyKQAS9aSHLI56bWgZTsIYgsIMTy34ZNQ9AFt63L6F3VZMphqtCYbQs56F8NKWE9ukf_Dwmz2a8ud_kOweb6jnu_5ibEJ_xCqUKV8pyHb48Ckihxru0bWSkQyVspK9NVqsqT4sBQsh/s320/IMG_0816.JPG" border="0" />Beads, shuttle, and a yellow thread.<br /><br /></span><p></p><span style="font-family:georgia;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329549193830987266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9Nf0niDPKjmqg-u-DnUgP3Knc28TWmvTXvv0M0TnqtvWIeZuvwD2_yKyBMcj00UiaZpgjgxorhjqaRXkiMZge2lCUzyCeARyNIQd-dNn639ecjgtFT5rs7742TLG1IRMcttH80HQp5NDI/s320/IMG_0817.JPG" border="0" />Plastic ring to practice on new technique, a measuring tape, and a...uuuh...ehmm...eeeh...I don't know the name for bobbin-like thing LOL<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329550057399176306" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgwRPM1I3-sputN8vuWfjPsxZidgHbfVy1aN_o0OKXPaSUaskSlyNHRWnm1ZNPvqSamNUwI-UQm6oQ83zynWzvbzceYElEiCBArZ71-jY0ZxSJT5CCLoUvm5_fUolc3BhrTa2UvovQPTq8/s320/IMG_0821.JPG" border="0" /> </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span></p><p><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span></p><p><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span></p><p><span style="font-family:georgia;">And also a beautiful snowflake with a plastic ring.
