Early May 2015, been such a hectic week as due for back to back deco work.

8^th May 2015 a reunion dinner deco and 9^th May hantaran wedding deco.

Luckily both happened in Putrajaya and Kuala Lumpur so still able to cope.

Really looking forward for the reunion deco work and it was very first deco work at Pullman, Putrajaya.

Before engaging with candles, lantern and flowers… as usual I will go for site visit and look around the space. Nice cozy ambiance for a romantic dinner by the lake side. With candles around would definitely brings up the mood.

The deco work was done on the actual day after Friday Prayer. I was lucky to have supportive assistants around. The deco was pretty much straight forward so finished the setting up much earlier.

We welcome the guest with sheer curtain and white, grey, light blue paper lanterns dangled along the entrance and candles along the walk path to the dinner area.

As for the centerpieces, we had the candles glasses and flower vases wrapped with denim just to match the theme for the night. And four tables with blue classic lantern representing denim too.

For the soft touch we used baby breath and white daisies. And yeah, mirror as the base for reflection effects.

Alhamdulillah, the client really happy with the simple yet welcoming outcome. I was more than happy and without help from the assistants I may not accomplished the project well. Thank you Dida, Wani, Jaja and Jojie.

And once done we celebrated with Nasi Arab at Sabaa in Cyberjaya and we called it a night with happy tummy … J

Till another deco work ...

Handmade Door Gift done for a school reunion

Received a request from my former primary mate ( sekolah rendah gombak setia - yes, i was the former student in Gombak before moved to Petaling Jaya in 1986 ).  50 pax of twine coasters as a door gift for her secondary school reunion. 

Took me a few days to get it done with number of stages. From soaking the cotton twine, drying them  until the packaging stage. Oh ya ..A box consist of 4 coasters. Meaning 50pax x 4pcs = 200pcs manually done..yes, manually..ie handmade :) ...

fyi, i soaked the cotton twine by using food coloring.

Colored the twine according to theme color of the event. I did 2pcs of  blue and 2pcs original color.

luckily it was sunny days to let them dried ...

oh that was my lunch during one of my days making coasters

Most of the work was done in Kuantan and two days before the delivery headed to Kuala Lumpur because i have another task to be done there. So, continue the unfinished work at my brother's place.

With sleepless nights... finally the coasters done ... and nicely packed in a transparent boxes.

    handwritten label and secured with cotton twine.

Ramadhan Mubarak

Salam Ramadhan to all..hope it's not too late to wish all Muslims Selamat Berpuasa.

Alhamdulillah, Allah masih beri kesempatan untuk meraikan Ramadhan. Syukur.

As usual Ramadhan selain bulan ibadah .. feeding soul, my schedule is pack with rays cookies. Annual task I suppose.
Tak sempat pun advertise the cookies list.  Plus, a few hick ups pula this year.  I'm not able to get my Hawaian Coconut flakes on time. The stock yet to reached Malaysia ! Been waiting for months actually.  My 3 suppliers semua OUT OF STOCK.  Yes, I know most of my regular clients agak FRUST..but what can i do right.
But then syukur juga because I'm short of assistants too this year. So, it's fair if not lagi susah if I'm not able to deliver kan. We plan but Allah is the best planner...so, can't argue kan.

Right... just wanna share my Ramadhan so far...Alhamdulillah, feeling great each day. Busy month..catching up with all the requested task.  Raya cookies, wedding favors and hantaran queuing up my task list.

For Raya cookies this year, since shortage of hawaian coconut flakes thus, i have to cut most of the orders. But then i make sure they get 1 bottle each.  Just to be fair ..

My Raya cookies list this year :-

Hawaian Coconut

Pineapple Tart

Chocolate Chips

Badam Cookie

Sweet Pandan

Arabian Nite

Cornflakes 

While getting my cookies done with my 2 lovely assistants.. sold a few of my craft items too. Shall put on my IG profile ( @mycraftcottage and @safinazyusof )  soon..restock of mason jars.

Oh, lupa...bulan ramadhan juga adalah bulan rajin masak...errr yer ker? hahha... ya, for the 1st time i did well the Pandan Jelly..Agar-agar Pandan.  Since pokok pandan kat rumah ni dah menggunung tinggi, so i google a few recipe and i think this one awesomely nice ! ..

Give it a try !... Sedap :).. Done it twice this fasting month.

Okay, that's all my update for now.. need to check my hazelnuts in the oven. Catch you guys later.

Don't forget to follow my IG and FB fan page ( I'm yet to create a new one under Safinaz Yusof tho ) okeh !

Do It Your Self

Okay It's 32 degree celsius .. need fresh and cooler air. Hmm but let just quickly update this blog and head up for evening run shortly.

I'm looking forward for some good feedback pertaining my DIY recycled project with the local #wedding magazine. Hopefully it turns out OKAY.. 

The photoshoot took place last week at their studio..yeah it was my first time heading there..( they usually come and see me..so this time around why not doing it at their place..quite pleasant getaway actually eventho pretty far hahahha ).

I was asked to provide some recycled materials / ideas that can be used for the future brides and grooms  on their wedding. And coincidently i was actually in my DIY mode.. kutip apa yang jumpa at home..plus since I'm into baking also so i collected egg cartons, tins, bottles..so just use them !. Eh,  They just read my mind is it ??? 

So, i agreed to be featured in their next issue ..

Such a good feeling when you're able to work with a good team. Easy to work with.. Please don't get bored with me ! .. 

I've prepared some easy steps for all the viewers to follow InsyaAllah.. 

Should the viewers need hands on coach...hmm lets have WORKSHOP ! .. why not ya ... I'm happy to teach.

Okay... need to catch Asar...and head to the beach to run ... See ya when i see ya !!!
