Hello everyone! Hope you're enjoying your weekend :) 

Today I want to upload one of my digital drawing to join the Digi Drawing Challenge at Crafter's Digital Art Centre, you can find their link on the side bar. It has been quite long time since the last time I join their challenges and am hoping to join more often in future :)

Anyway the theme for this September is Does Your Dog Bite/Does Your Cat Scratch (Pets) with Falling Leaves (Fall Inspired Theme). I decided to draw one of my cat who is playing in a pumpkin. well, my cats love playing in a box or in a plastic bag and get their hair dirty from scratching leaves :P although we don't have fall season here but I'm sure my cats will love playing in a pumpkin and even sleeping in it :)

I created this digi drawing using  adobe Illustrator. I actually made one image in black and white and another one is in autumn color.

Good luck to all participants and do visit the Challenge at Crafter's Digital Art Centre web here as they have so many challenges and inspiring images! :)

See you all and take care!

Hello everyone! Hope you're doing well :)

Tonight I'm going to  upload one of my greeting cards which is made especially for my hubby who had birthday on last Saturday. The card as usual is a very simple one made of some scrap papers (oh yess I have tons of them at home! :)

Well, I only draw my hubby face on adobe illustrator program and used blue line instead of black.. I didn't do much editing so actually my hubby's face is a lot more handsome in real life than my drawing haha :D  

I gave this card to him at midnight at 00.01 exactly :D coz I want to be the first person who congratulate his new age :P at that hour we still had time to go to the nearest fast food restaurant and I bought him a small tiramisu cake and put the card beside it :) (Yep, don't be surprise we like to have some snack in the middle of the night :P). He was so happy with the drawing although I'm not sure if he really saw it or not coz we were kinda sleepy and hungry then :P

Anyway, the next day he said he likes the drawing, so it was a bit relieving for me :D but ofcourse he said that it would be better if I could made him looked a bit skinnier (believe or not I draw it from his photo three years ago before he gained weight!! :D) Well I don't care whether he's fat, skinny or whatever.. as long as he remains faithful, responsible and a true wonderful hubby that would be enough for me :) Although he wanted me to cook for him as a gift but I'd rather took him to have a candle lit dinner at a small restaurant (which a thing that we had not done for so long :) coz honestly I didn't have enough energy to cook for him that day :P

Happy Birthday once again sweetheart! May God will always protects you, may all your dreams will come true and may you will have everything that is the best! Love you much!

Thanks for reading everyone :) See you later!

Hiiiii everyone! I'm back! :)

Just want to describe how wonderful Eid ul-Fitr is :) If you like this image, you can download it freely on my online gallery HERE.

Happy Eid ul-Fitr to all the Moslems in the world!

May God gives us so much blessings and peace in our lives! And may we become a better person after doing the fasting for one month. Am also hoping that God gives us another opportunity to meet with Ramadan month again next year! Amen.

Yeah, as you've known that I don't do fasting this year due to my pregnancy. But still, I enjoy the early morning cooking to prepare "sahur" for my beloved hubby :) I'm gonna miss Ramadan month so much and again I wish to meet with it again next year :)

Since I'm taking this holiday season as a chance to get some rest from my working place. I used to go to my home town and visited my mom, but not this year as I couldn't get any cheap ticket until last minute :P So I decided to celebrate Eid ul-Fitr with my hubby only and our baby in my tummy :) We really enjoyed our time together. Watched tv, went to my hubby's friend wedding, bought some cookies, beverages and some cleaner stuff :P Oh yes, we're just staying at home and cleaning all the mess :P

But this year I'm glad to have the chance to create the above greeting cards for some friends and sent them through by mail. I wish I can make more designs but I haven't got much time and energy to finish all :P I also make the e-card version which you can use freely HERE. Simply click the e-card page and it will direct you to these cards :)

Well, not much i can write here but I hope you had a wonderful Eid ul-Fitr day and a great celebration with your family and friends! Amen.

Take care of yourself and See you soon!

Hello all.. hope you're doing great! :) 

Today I'd like to upload few digital drawings that I made and some greeting cards too.. But first, I'm going to upload my newest digital drawing which was to celebrate the 67th Independence Day of our country on last August 17th! Yeaahh!!! Long live Indonesia :)

This year I draw a Gunungan, complete with symbols that describing how rich our country is well, it is far from perfect though :) Hmm I have no idea what "Gunungan" means in English. Gunungan is used by Indonesian traditional puppet show (wayang) which symbolized contents of the world. It is a puppet with a mountain shape and its contents. It is also used to starting and closing the show, to rising action, to acting as land, forest, to symbolizing forest, fire, wind, land, road etc following the Dalang (The Puppeteer). It is also use as a symbol that all puppet characters and the stories do contain high philosophy teaching on wisdom.

Myself, I'm using Gunungan to describe how rich our country is. So therefore, I draw fishes, trees, rice and chain (as a symbol of unity in diversity). Hoping that our government and the people realize that we are rich in everything so we must be able to use our nature wisely and human resources, be more independent, do more positive works, care more to unfortunate people, clean the corruptions and all dirty politicians from bottom to the top :P Thus, we can move forward to the challenging future. Otherwise, we'll be stuck here with nowhere to go except waiting to get more loans from other countries and put our country "On Sale"! Embarrasing.. but I think that's what has been happening now! :P

Anyway, I won't be complaining more about my country and its terrible political conditions. As I believe it happens in every country! I just feel grateful that so far despite of all the bad things here, I do love my country very much and I have so much hope in it! :) I will try as best as I can to support our local products and community coz for now that's the small thing I can do :)

Well, should you like to have this digital drawing, you can visit and download it freely at my online gallery HERE in jpg format. You can use it for your personal projects!

Okay, this is all for now! 

Thank you for visiting and take care of yourself! :)

Hi everyone,

I hope things are going well with you over there. Happy fasting for all Moslems in the world :) Hope this Ramadhan will bring lots of blessing to you and your family. Myself this year I don't do fasting due to my pregnancy. Yes, I have tried though but unfortunately it didn't work for me as I really can't stop eating :P

I'm glad that I fee much better than few months ago. So I used my time to manage my "postpone" crafts boutique and make some drawings.Well, check out my crafts boutique below and you can download the above image and use it for your craft project :) Since I'm using Indonesian language so I added translation so you can choose your own language if you don't understand Indonesian. There's also shopping cart therefore you can purchase the items you need directly in there. I just hope it will run successfully :)

Plumeria Crafts

Now I have to go.. I still have to prepare dinner for my beloved hubby who's been fasting for the past eight days :) and then prepare myself for "sahur" the early breakfast tomorrow..

Thank you for your visit friends! Have a great day and Take care!

Hi everyone, how are you all? 

I have been missing you very much. Being away from my blog for so long has making my brain stuck. Well, I must restart and reload it again now on :)

What has been happening in my life lately? Hmm well, let's see last February I was so ready to run my crafts boutique and then all of the sudden something held me back from doing all the important things I must do.. Yep, suddenly something just switched off my energy and power.. My days were filled with nausea, vomiting, fatigue, diarrhea, migraine, shortness of breath and sleep.. I thought I was too exhausted with my work volume at the office..

But then later in April that I found out that I'm 10 weeks pregnant! At first it was so surprising as I don't plan anything or neither pushing myself to having a baby although my hubby and I've been married for nearly 4 years. And the fact that I personally was afraid of having child. Maybe some pieces of my bad childhood experience is still remain in my subconscious :P Ahh but heyy, why should I complain about the bad things that happened to my childhood; coz there are so many happy things happened to me as well that I will always treasure. And all the bad things do not have to happen to my child, right? All that I must do is to make sure that my child will get better life and fill its life with lots of love and encouragement. Amen. :)

So yep after injecting myself with positive thoughts, endless support from my hubby, family, friends and throw all my fear away.. I begin to feel the excitement of being pregnant :)  Yes, the first trimester had really knocked me down, I just couldn't do any activities other than work. Those times of nausea, morning sickness and sleepy nights were the colors of my days. I could only staring at my laptop and cleaning the mess on my crafts desk, but after that I just don't wanna do anything. I was so easy to losing my temper and patience. Going to work was the hardest time but Coming home from work was my favorite thing yep coz I would just jumped up to bed and do nothing but sleep :) My sense of smell was so very sensitive that I hated vegetable oil so much!! I hated my perfume, bar soap, shampoo, fried food, meat and the smell of water :P I even hated the smell of grass!! (which is usually my favorite)  Oohh it was soo awful and terrible!!

Now that I am commencing to my 23rd weeks, things are getting far much better. Yesterday I begin to drawing again, cleaning up my e-mails and website, yes yes I must start again.. But One thing that I have never lost since few months ago is my eating behavior :D yep, I just keep eating and eating and gaining weight ooohhhh.. no more skinny image, no more S/M sizes clothes! I'm just as big as a zeppelin :D But I don't care, just have to find the spirit to work out after this!

And last week when doctor said that I'm going to have a baby girl, it feels so touching! Ooohhh I just hope she's gonna be a healthy girl :) My hubby is so very happy and so are my sisters coz it means we're gonna add another girl member to the family :)

Now I do realize it's an amazing feeling to having this little human growing inside of me. I feel so full of  blessings! I'm sure that all the mothers in this world feel the same excitement. It's just something that I can't describe, coz it's something that you have to experience it yourself. I just pray to all women out there who are trying so hard of having a baby that God will see your effort and answer your wishes.. Just be patience, I believe your time will come soon :)

Hmm it's already 4.50 am here and I must take a break, prepare myself for an early morning pray and things for my work today. I'm so glad it's Friday!! Oh, and if you love the image I made above, I'd be glad to share it with you, just let me know and I'll e-mail you the file so you can use it for your craft projects :)

Bye for now and I'll see you later soon, okay! Take Care!
