Fairy tales and Folks Tales Character Day

Posted on May 14, 2015 by binikedek

Tadika Ariana ni best. A lot of activities. Minda berkembang. Parents pun turut serta. Ikut aktivity held by the tadika.

So last month, ada fairy and folk tales character day. Since that Ariana sudah boleh membaca, I wanted her to be the character of the book that she can read. Went to the book store and mula memilih buku yang costume nya mommy dapat jahit sendiri.. Hehe..

Setelah berungkus lumus dengan kerja last minute mommy pegi membeli kain awal pagi (jam 8 okaaayyy.. Nasib kedai sudah bukak), menghantar MIL pegi airport balik Sibu dan menjadi very full time house wife, akhirnya siap jugak costume ni jam 11 malam. Eleh.. Ingatkan sampai jam 3 pagi menjahit.

Tadaaaaaa… Oh patutlah sampai jam 11 ja menjahit. Very simple design. Asal memenuhi syarat emas-emas tu. So her character was King Midas. But she wanted me to call her Queen Midas. Baiklah.

Reading to her classmates.

Ariana with her Marissa and Mikhail.

Ok lah. Mommy puas hati walaupun baju tu ada besar sikit for Ariana. As long as shes happy. Oh ya.. I made the crown my self as requested by the queen, she wanted colourfull hearts on it.

DIY : Gel air freshner

Posted on September 17, 2013 by binikedek

Soooooo, tahukah anda bahawa gel air freshner yang di jual di supermarket itu kita boleh buat sendiri di rumah? Dulu saya tidak tahu, sekarang, saya sudah tahu dan mahu share dalam blog!

Tapi, saya cerita dulu sejarah macam mana saya boleh terfikir untuk buat air freshner sendiri. Kisah bermula dari salesman Honda yang beli carpet murahan dari supermarket yang sangat kuat bau getahnya untuk si Sharkie. Jadi, to get rid of that unpleasant smell, saya pun google for petua menghilangkan bau dan pergi ke kedai untuk cari pewangi untuk kereta, or at least something that can get rid of that smelly getah. Tapi, tidak semua air freshner ada tester, jadi saya balik rumah dengan kecewa. Then, saya google2 lagi untuk cari link to any d.i.y for potpourri. Kemudian terjumpa lah link2 ke blog yang share cara untuk buat gel air freshner sendiri.

So, bahan-bahan nya:
1. Unflavoured gelatin
2. 2 cups of water
3. 1 tablespoon of garam
4. Essential oil ataupun perfume pun boleh
5. Bekas yang tahan panas (sebab rebusan gelatin yang panas2 akan di tuang ke dalam bekas ni nanti.

Mula-mula, rendam serbuk gelatin ke dalam satu cup of water.

Sambil-sambil tu, rebus garam bersama 1 cup of water. Bila gelatin tu sudah kembang dan air sudah mendidih, satu kan dua bahan tu dan gaul2 dengan api perlahan.

Saya guna bekas kaca macam ni. Tuang beberapa titisan essential oil atau perfume (ikut citarasa) dan kalau mau gel tu berkaler-kaler nanti, tuang sedikit pewarna makanan.

Rebusan gelatin & air tadi tu, boleh tuang masuk ke dalam bekas kaca tu. Sambil-sambil tu, gaul hingga rata pewarna & essential oil tadi.

Siap!

Biarkan selama at least 8 jam untuk pembentukkan gel.

Kalau google2 kan, banyak jenis air freshner yang boleh buat sendiri. Paling simple yang saya jumpa, a mix of baking soda & essential oil, macam ni..

Bekas tu boleh pakai jenis apa-apa pun boleh, but since that Im going to use this in the bathroom, so saya guna container plastik macam ni, and buat lubang atas penutup nya. Goncang-goncang bekas tu untuk keluarkan bau wangi.

So, selamat mencuba 🙂

DIY : Bed for Baby Dolls

Posted on May 1, 2013 by binikedek

I love buying dolls, specifically Baby Alive for Ariana. As of now, she already have 5 Baby Alive and bed-less. There are possibilities of them, taking over our bed, one day.

I bought 2 beds before this, but it was huge. takes up too many spaces. So I decided to make two beds using shoe boxes for the remaining bed-less girls.

With leftovers wrapping papers from the previous kitchen project, i wrapped the box and embelished it to make it look nicer.

And our bedroom was transformed into a hostel that night by Ariana.

One more super large bed for Ariana’s new Baby Alive.

DIY : Kitchen Set

Posted on April 26, 2013 by binikedek

I am sure that all you mommies out there are aware of the nice, size-friendly and great kitchen play set in the market are super expensive. RM500 for kitchen play set?

I was browsing through Amazon and thought of buying a proper kitchen play set for Ariana and actually fainted for few times after seing the price label. Well, there are less expensive, but it doesnt meet my criteria.

Then I started to google for ‘tukang kayu di Miri’. Hahaha. Yes. I was thinking of hiring a carpenter to build a kitchen play set for Ariana, but failed. No carpenter promoting their workmanship on the net. Pffffftt!

So I used google again to look for ‘kitchen play set’, and found few blogs showing their DIY kitchen. Just a few pictures to show you. Dont forget to close your mouth :p

(Picture source : Google)

And these are made using old tv cabinet.

Then I started to google for ‘used tv cabinet in Miri’ and again, failed. Haha. I texted Enchek Kedek abt this and said that I wanted to buy few plywoods and wood cutter to make a play kitchen. I am pretty sure that Enchek Kedek started to worry the moment he received my text. Hehe. Then I found a few more blogs giving tutorials on DIY Kitchen Play Set using cardboard and boxes. Score!!!

I started sketching and visualizing that dream kitchen in my head, and the next thing I know, I was already at the stationary store buying supplies for my kitchen project.

But, I only have the finished product of the kitchen because I didnt take any pictures during the process.

The overall view of my cardboard & recycled boxes kitchen play set for Ariana.

It was a fun project to be done with your children. Ariana did helped me sikit-sikit.

As long as you are able to visual the kitchen that you wanted, knows how to wrap a present and very determine to do it, start collecting used boxes, NOW!

I would love to see your own DIY kitchen set 🙂
