Changes

-Assalammualaikum-
-Hi-

It's December. And I haven't yet confirmed any of my plans for my online business for next year. In the past 3 years, I was just sewing to fill my time, earning some side income to help my husband and perfecting my workmanship.

I have never thought of becoming a seam-stress before, because I was a lousy sewer back at school, though I really love crafts and creating stuff from scratch. I guess, being a perfectionist helps me along the way as I cannot stand seeing flaws in my hand made (but still have tiny bits of mistakes sometimes, but hey, nobody is perfect, right? Right?). I started to sew when my husband decided to buy a hi-speed sewing machine 3 years ago, despite knowing his wife have no experience in sewing. It was like, he already knows the future (can he??) He specifically asked me to sew bags! First time sewing with a hi-speed sewing machine (only those who sew using the machine knows how fast the machine can go!) my skill was way too far from being a beginner. Horrible! I can't stitch straight line though had drawn a line. After a few attempts and failing to control the fabrics and machine, I just stop! That is how I always do it, if it's just not working, I have to stop until I can figure out what went wrong.

SHELL POUCH. Lama tak buat pouch ni. Nak buat lah lepas ni. 

After a few days, I think a few weeks kot (dengan sindiran suami yang dok kata beli mesin biaq berhabuk :)) I started to sew back again, this time, macam mai seru tu hehe...I controlled the speed by putting my right hand on the hand-wheel, most of the time, so that, tak lah terbabas, tapi panas gak tangan menahan wheel tu if kaki tertekan pedal secara tak sengaja...hehe...But it prevent me from getting an injury.

When my husband was warded due to stress about 3 weeks ago, I am now trying my best to not letting him worried much about the money, and house income. I never talk to him anything that involves money! At all. I don't want him to overstressed himself and led to another attack. I wish I never have to experience that ever...ever again.

Now, I am planning to make my online business as our main income, next year. I've planned to double or maybe triple my effort daily to come out with more items for in-stock, to participate in any crafts markets, open a small stall somewhere in KL and expanding it to international level. My only hope is for him to just rest and recuperating well. Without having to worry much about anything.

And I've started to double up my effort by making these yesterday and early this morning hehe...

It's a good start for me, juggling everything was never easy especially if you have 5 kids with no maid! :D But I am confident enough to be a super-mom! Sekurang-kurangnya di mata anak-anak. Kan?

Moga Allah permudahkan segala-galanya buat kami sekeluarga dan sentiasa ada sinar mentari yang menyinari di setiap cuaca mendung. Take care!

And this will be the new name for my hand made brand, next year. What do you think? :)
