My new page Jewelleria is on the corner!

Hi there! Mm…actually I’m quite busy lately to make sure all my works in the office can be completed before my maternity leave (expecting due is 17 Dec 2008). Counting the days… I hope everything will be just smooth and fine on that day. Pray for me ya…

But still I have some times to update this page. I would like to inform you that this web page is not a blog type that needs to be updated so often, like a diary. It only comes out if there any new stuff regarding to my handmade product or project. But I will try my best to at least release any new idea or entry for every month.  Lots of idea in my mind actually, but no need to rush to make it comes real. Slow and steady..

Right now I want to show you my new product which I called it Take Away box (others called it Chinese Take Out Box), another type of gift packaging. And not least is, let me introduce you my new page named Jewelleria right on top of this page. It’s a range of handmade wire wrapping jeweleries made from Swarovski, crystal, fresh water pearl, cultured pearl and semi precious stones, wrapped with 14 carats gold filled wire and beads, that turned into lovely charm bracelets. It’s a common yet simple though, (still new to this skill of craft) but it cheaper than the market price, plus it’s customized! Meaning to say, you can choose your own color and pattern, I will make it for you as you wish.

So, I guess it’s enough for now. Happy viewing, especially that new page. See you next time, Insyaallah!

Welcome home to myself!!

Assalamualaikum and hi there… Finally I have a suitable and relax time to sit in front my pc and update this web site. It’s good to be back in my home page. Sorry for the delay since my last entry. Actually, I’m still in the mood of Hari Raya and holiday but already started go to the office on last Monday. My 10 days off really was utilized with family’s Eidul Fitri celebration and gathering, and what I really like the most was invited relatives and friends to our first time open house ever. Really happening and satisfying!!

Hence, I present my latest idea of gift packaging. Actually I have done the sample before Raya together with the Heart Shape Box and Heart Shape Paper Bag but this is the right time to show you the Cone Shape Box, Flower Puff Box and Triangle Puff Box in My Gallery as well. I tell you what, I’ve learn these unique shape boxes from a friend who have same hobby and interests, and I just improved the appearances to be like that!

Oya, I would like to congratulate my hubby for having his own Nikon D80 digital SLR camera, a few days before Raya (now it seems like that camera is his 3rd wife, after me and his car!) But I’m happy for him anyway as his dream came true. Just imagine how he really admires that thing; the pictures of the camera are affix on the wall and door at our home, and he already bought some of that camera’s accessories such as lens, tripod, flash, UV protector (??), lens protector, blah blah from the eBay long before he truly got the camera! What I can say is, he’s crazy of his new passion (after Tae Kwon Do) and until now he still waits for some other gadgets to come! Whatever la cinta but thanks for the over lock machine you bought me…

Before leave, I want to show you these…

Another version of Gift Packaging…

Salam… It’s been quite sometimes since my last post. Actually, I’m a little bit busy like a bee on settle up my customer’s orders of baju raya for this coming Eid Fitri. Still got a few to sew, and I hope to finish all of it before the pay day! Just want to relax and shopping a week before Raya. Its funny when I don’t have time to make my own baju raya instead of my customer’s. Otherwise, I decided to buy me some Jubah for Raya this time. (Perut dah besar la..)

You know what, actually I just learn how to stitch beads and sequins embroidery and really admire it as my new passion as well as hobby. As my customers requested, confidently I took a few orders from them to put some pattern on their baju raya. Emm… not bad I guess (minta puji sikit!) and what makes me happy, they like it!!! Thanks to my favorite beads embroidery links ladybeads, noramanik, lovelybeads and sabahmanik for the gorgeous and wonderful ideas indeed! So here it goes…just click on the picture to get a large view. Don’t laugh aa… it just a simple and easy one. (Maklumlah, budak baru belajar kan..!)

Oh ya, as I promised earlier here I bring you another idea of gift packaging. Just click here to view my new release products . I’ve got a lots of ideas in my head that need to turn into reality actually, but its just a matter of time..always keep it slow and steady.  So I just made a few sample of heart shape paper bag and box, cone shape box, hexagon puff box and triangle puff box for you to view, for now.

See you next time! Selamat berbuka puasa for today..

Happy fasting, Selamat berpuasa!!!

Assalamualaikum wtb…

Its been a year and now Ramadhan is coming!!! A month of seeking forgiveness, seek for demolishing all sins that had been made and a month of improving the worship to Allah SWT. It is a kind of test to our faith, for us to feel the hunger for a month but nothing compared to those who have to hunger daily in their life. We have to appreciate for what Allah have given us and must have faith of what we are doing. For me personally, I pray for stay strong and manage to fast though I’m almost 6 month of pregnancies.

Also, I would like to wish all Muslims Happy Fasting, Selamat Berpuasa in this Holy month of Ramadhan Al-Mubarak 1429 Hijrah. Be strong, keep your faith always! Hopefully that this Ramadhan would bring all the good things, more meaningful, blissful and blessed! To all JajaKraf.Com visitors, thank you for visiting me all these while. To tell you, I got something to show you later on regarding to my new products, so please wait because more crafts will come!

May Allah bless all of us, amin!
