Those Nimble Fingers



I have always admire my mum for her meticulous handicraft and work. She is very detailed and take pride in her work be it sewing of baju kurung, making kuehs (especially pineapple tarts), sewing curtains and decorating wedding gift trays. My second sister has her traits especially in decorations and sewing.

The very meticulous handcraft work for wedding gift sets by my mum.

So you see, my mum who has no formal education at all, grew up in kampung area till she got married to my dad at 16, I have to take my hat off her for having these extraordinary talents in her. However, my mum is a humble woman and she always insist that she prefer doing all these out of favour and never want to compete with anyone. She did all her orders with sincerity and that's why each time she received orders, she would make sure she did all that neatly and with near perfect results.

And that's when Ummi's Wedding Gifts is born. My mum together with my 2nd sister collaborate with each other and worked hard to create these lovely wedding gifts sets. My mum and my step-dad would deliver the items at the bride's/groom's doorsteps and collect back all the dulang/trays 1 day after the wedding. See? We make it simple for the bride & groom! :)
All these for only $250/-.
Insya Allah, @ Ummi's, we make every wedding with the perfect gifts.

Do check out dollhouse.cribz for more collections yeah!!


As yours truly (hehe!!), I do have my own interest as well. Besides bridal make-up and makeovers, I love creating my own personal stuffs. There was once when I received a request to make baby's hairband for a fren. I did one for her and that was it. It was recently again that I received another request to create hairbands and kufi hats for another fren who had just gave birth. And being me, I do not like something which chances are, you will see another person wearing the same thing along the streets. Even if it meant for babies, I want it to look exlusive!! That's when I came up with "one of each design" concept.


Crochet flowers are made personally by me. As requested I will fix the colours accordingly as per request by individual customers. You know how we ladies sometimes can get finicky over colours and designs. For examples, wanting the same design of bag but in two different colours..??
I took that into consideration *winx!* and will prepare each hat/hairband only by request so your baby or little girls will be wearing her own exclusive hat and hairband!

The different colours of crochet flowers.

Each flower is created differently like the one shown above.
Eg: rounded edge-SAKURA and pointed edge-IXORA. And again, customers are free to choose the type of flower they prefer.
:)

Below are all the different designs I came up with for customers to choose from. But of course, YOU can tell me what you prefer from the colour to the design! See...?? I am being very considerate..... hehehehhe!!!

This got to be my personal favourite. Unfortunately I have to wait very much longer before I can put this on on my own baby....
