Crafting Journal | First cross stitch finish this year
Back in late 2016, I think I lost my stitching bug. Though, I've already known how to deal with it: starting a new piece of cross stitch! Around that time, my Facebook stitching-friends had their things on portrait stitching. Their results are all stunning. So I use the online photo-converting website, pic2pat.com, to convert photo to a cross-stitch chart.
I picked a photo of one of Korean-pop singers/idols, Cho Kyuhyun, a member of a well-known boy-band, Super Junior. I was (and still am) a big fan of his velvety voice, witty yet adorable personality on stage.
This progress picture is from mid of November 2016:
As of end of November 2016:
At mid of January 2017, it turned like this:
It finally finished at February 3, 2017:
February 3 is actually his birthday. This year he turns 29 (30 years Korean age) and he is about to fulfill his mandatory military duty in mid 2017.
The piece was stitched on black 14 ct aida, 20 color DMC thread. Photo courtesy of Leslie Kee for Glamorous Magazine (Japan), March 2013.

Snippets of life | Friends forever
A meet-up after the month of Ramadan to celebrate the Eid al-Fitr with high school friends, the 90SMA3… (a belated post from August, 9, 2014)
A quick snap with our school-mate, currently The Mayor of Bandung, Mr. Ridwan Kamil a.k.a. Emil and the first lady.
The obligatory photo-shoot.
The beautiful venue is the official residence of Mr. Mayor. We just couldn't resist the pretty purple flowers.
It was a blast.
See you all next time, friends!

Catching up….
Whoaaaaa!!! Lots of catching up to do…
By the way, hello blogverse!
I've been mastering the art of procrastinating & daydreaming… But that didn't mean I've done nothing! It's just that micro-blogging was more appealing. *sighs*
I'll make it up! See you later! *waves*

Happy belated new year...!
Happy 2014!!!
I've been quite occupied this year-end since my kids are on a school break.
I don't usually make any resolution each and every year, but I simply wish that this year I'll be able to do more blogging and stitching :)

Flashback...
I don't know... I'm a bit mellow these days and came up with this flashback.
The reason I made this blog in the first place was to accomodate my weird and contradictive habits...
I love writing journals and diaries but I get bored easily, not to mention that I'm moody. So I've always ended up with uncontinued diary books. I thought that making a blog would be my solution and saving me from wasting diary books (and saving a forest).
Here's what happened in my everyday life that I've shared over the years here on A Day In The Life.
2007
August 2007 - I started this blog and was still figuring out what I should write & share
November 2007 - I posted my first entry about my work team. I can recall the day, it was a hectic day full of pressure that I came up with a post to motivate myself.
Desember 2007 - I was still struggling with contents to put in my blog and posted a random entry about my characters.
2008
February 2008 - I was still as random as I could be...
August 2008 - I had a blast attending my high school reunion.
November 2008 - I finally found my old passion and started cross-stitching again. It started with my first piece of cross-stitch and several pieces followed suit. And then my passion grew bigger and started to found cute designs. And I started writing in English instead of Bahasa Indonesia because I felt awkward writing in my native language (Yes, I'm weird like that o_O).
2009
June 2009 - I found myself exploring my hometown for cross-stitch supplies more often and of course roaming the internet for ideas and informations. That's when I fell in love with colorful designs of Jeremiah Junction, fresh color of strawberries, and my all-time-favorite designers, Margaret Sherry.
August 2009 - I made a cross-stitch piece for my sister's birthday.
2010
May 2010 - I posted a belated entry of my Oriental Cross Stitch by Lesley Teare.
June 2010 - I enjoyed making birthday gifts for my daughter's friends.
July 2010 - I tried out new designs, monochrome and traditional.
August 2010 - I love(d) batik, I should learn photography, and I stitched so slowly.
September 2010 - I learned new things about cross-stitching and blogging, a Stitch-A-Long and Blog Giveaway... And bought another traditional theme design of the Balinese Dancer.
October 2010 - I attended my university big reunion and stitching this and that.
November 2010 - Bali!!! I stitched a Balinese dancer design and did a work trip to Bali.
December 2010 - I finished my Balinese dancer and did my first New Year Cross Stitch Exchange with fellow Indonesian cross-stitchers.
2011
January 2011 - It was time to reveal what was inside the New Year Cross Stitch Exchange package. I also updated my monochrome tablecloth progress and started my Parisian Street. I also made Violinist Cat from Margaret Sherry for another birthday girl.
February 2011 - More updates on Parisian Street, how I 'build' my 2nd storey of the cafe and then the 3rd storey.
March 2011 - A family gathering and another birthday gifts for Nabila and Tasya.
April 2011 - I did a slow update on my Parisian Street.
May 2011 - I finished my Margaret Sherry Lovers SAL #1, the Culinary Cats.
June 2011 - Parisian Street was finished and maicih was trending.
July 2011 - I finished my monochrome tablecloth and uploaded my blackwork piece.
October 2011 - After two months break, I was back with random post and old pieces post.
November 2011 - I enjoyed mobile photography and captured my everyday life through its lens.
December 2011 - Year-end has always been a hectic time, I struggled to do some stitching and spent holiday at home. And I joined the New Year Cross Stitch Exchange again.
2012
January 2012 - New year and late posts of work trip.
February 2012 - More about my social network service on mobile photography and getting used to mobile blogging through my smartphone.
April 2012 - I joined Margaret Sherry Lover SAL #3 and finished its first piece. I used pictures from my phone camera for blog entries on mobile photography SNS, gardening try-out, and my birthday.
May 2012 - I started to drabble too much and did some updates.
June 2012 - I tried other form of craft, made changes on my daily routines, and prepared Margaret Sherry Lover Summer Exchange.
July 2012 - I finished cat #2 from the SAL and started Ramadhan fasting.
August 2012 - A start to hectic months at work and celebrating Eid-ul Fitri.
September 2012 - It was great participating in Margaret Sherry Lovers' Summer Exchange and doing a Pixie Parcel for a friend.
October 2012 - Appreciate life through Breast Cancer Awareness Month and treasuring friends and family we have.
December 2012 - Time to celebrate special days. And I actually did a New Year Cross Stitch Exchange for the third time, but didn't have time to post about it. Maybe later...
*phew*
Enough with the flashbacks...
Let's enjoy some coffee and happy stitching!

Special days
December has always been a special month for me...
The 21st is my daughter's birthday and 23rd is my hubby's.
This year my daughter turns 13 years old and hubby 42. Actually I was a bit upset to learn about rumors on the Mayan calendar that predicted the doomsday at Dec 21, 2012. Well, I didn't believe it to the slightest, but of all the 365 days of the year, should it be at my daughter's birthday? Hahaha it doesn't matter now, because we survive that one..!
The 22nd is actually the Mother's Day in Indonesia. I rarely post my self picture, but for the sake of the Mom's Day, here's a picture of me, my daughter, and my mom...
Have a nice year-end!
Happy stitching!

Hello again
It's been quite a while since my last post.
Well, my work loads have always been the cruelest at the last two months of the year. And I actually have been occupied with my home renovation for about 6 weeks.
Hubby and I didn't intend to do a big renovation at first. We just needed to fix our ceiling. But then one thing leads to another... We ended up with a long list of things to fix.
And tons of brick, piles of paint, boxes of tile, and lots of packing and unpacking stuffs later...
Our plain pale yellow house...
has a tinge of fresh orange I've been wanting to apply...
I still have tons of stuff to re-manage... but I decide to take a break for a while and finish my two WIPs!
My New Year Exchange Gift 2013 with fellow Indonesian cross-stitchers (I've been doing this exchange for 3 years).
And my untouched Cool Cats, autumn and winter cats, from Margaret Sherry Lovers SAL #3.
Let's sit back and relax... Grab some coffee and stitch stitch stitch...!
Happy holidays!!!
