A Boy Who Loves Chuggington!

Choo Choooooooo!

Wow! This Boy will celebrate his 4th Birthday with some noise from the Chuggington railway tracks!

It was fun creating this piece.

Thank you so much for your order :).

Have Fun.

Salam and Morning Doodle :)

A Gorgeous Couple Portrait-Caricature

Thank you for your order, Kue.

Oh yes, Kue also made me created a Cool Car Sticker for her Kindergarten.

Hehe..

That was a fun creation!

Enjoy.

Must keep doing what I love...

Drew the girl for just a little reminder...

Doodled two gift-tags (no. 7 & 8) for my nephews' birthdays.

Made a simple black&white gift tag made for my friend's newborn.

Sketched three Little Girls wearing hijab just for fun.

Medium: Pencil Color

When my boy slept a little early at night, I would try to take a little time to draw and/or color anything that attracted my heart.

These little things I do... make my own heart sings!

For Slides and Door Gifts

An old friend of mine who's doing her PhD has asked me to illustrate a few things for her slide presentation. She was afraid if she didn't do this, her presentation will be quite boring...

Glad she asked me to do it.

I did learn a few things myself :).

And then, a sweet customer of mine at Lurvering has ordered a new doodle/ cartoon for her upcoming wedding project.

I'm pretty sure she'll produce some lovely door gifts out of this one :).

Enjoy!

Cool Caricature Cupcake Topper & Another Cutesy Pie

Awwww... 

my client has sent me a couple of pics that turned my caricature into a cupcake topper!

How awesome is that?

Thanks a lot, dear.

Another thanks is for sharing my art to your kind friend who then requested me to draw a digital caricature of her baby with some favorite cartoon characters!

What a cutesy little pie this child is :).

Enjoy!

This Cute Girl Again :)

Another request from her Mom with White background.

I just love drawing her happy bright face...not forgetting those two front teeth!

Enjoy your on9 shopping!

Helloooooooooooo!

I wish you had a great new start this year 2014.

From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for taking a bit of time checking out my inactive blog.

Even though I haven't updated much, I've had people contacting me through emails and FB... asking for my ART services. Thank you... Thank you.

Yes, I'm still alive and I still do take orders for caricatures/ designs/ doodles and such.
However, my time is now more occupied with my duty as a MOM to a very cheeky and active boy who's turning TWO by April this year.

A Happy Little Astronaut!

If I were to do my magical 'creations', it'll be during his sleeping time, especially during the night.
So, if you need me to do anything for you, please get in touch with me in advance and NOT with last minutes job.
Another thing is, I plan to get back to my drawing table and do more serious artworks (ie. watercolor paintings) this year, insyaAllah...
So, you might see some updates here instead of in Yartstik. (I've figured out that managing more than one blog is quite an uphill battle now...hehee).

Last 2 nights, I doodled a new HEADER for myself... but I'm not sure why I couldn't get it installed in the Blog. So, why don't I just display it here for now.

In the meanwhile... have a bright and prosperous year ahead... and enjoy!

Cik Siti is Getting Married

In June, she was engaged... and there was a caricature and a bunting to go with the event which was made by me. You can see it HERE.

This month, the moment has almost arrived for her to experience and embrace the moment when the 'title' Miss will turn into Mrs!

My lovely Cik Siti made a last minute request to have a different Caricature for her Big Day. This time, she wanted the faces to look a bit more 'real'.

So, here it is...

Alongside with that, I have also designed her a couple of buntings and a photo booth backdrop.

Her request: A Sweet Looking bunting with Real Photos.

A Photo Booth backdrop complete with their common field/ interest = Construction!

So...last but not least, Barakallah ya Siti...

Hope everything will go on smoothly as planned for your wedding day, insyaAllah...

May Allah bless you and your family, always.

Thank you for ordering 

and

 Enjoy!

My Little Adventurer

I worry a lot nowadays.

Especially when he experienced the joy of walking...

...which to my eyes, it's more like jaywalking.

And then, he started climbing. 

I could see the sparkle in his eyes when he managed to climb something.

Or he would make a face like..., "See? This is nothing."

My own little Adventurer,

you may give me a heart attack or two...

but it doesn't matter,

for I'll always take care of you.

Enjoy!

APRIL is EXTRA special to me and bee as our baby boy turned 1 year old on the 25th!
How time flies.

Zain, you're really the Apple of my eye...

I love you sooo... much!

Last week, I tried my hands at baking -- baby homemade shortbread! You can find the fabulous recipe HERE. I go to this blog so many times already since Zain could eat solid foods! Thanks, Maghfarah.

And it really helps for a lousy cook like me to join HSFFYB (FB Homemade Solid Food For Your Baby) gang! You'll find yourself at awe with great-healthy recipes and food infos for your kids that mothers are sharing over there.

Almost overcooked them since I'm just using (testing the 1st attempt with...) my ol' tiny oven toaster. But most importantly, baby Zain loves the Kurma Bread Man and Apple Cinnamon Sticks (that's what I call them)! Hehee...sounds good, huh?

Yum Yum Yummy...
(well, i don't have much choice, anyway)

Man, I feel like I've achieved so much within this one year of Zain's life... especially in discovering more about cooking and choosing food for babies. I'm also learning so much about taking care of someone else who's totally depending on me in so many ways.

I almost get my Degree in Breastfeeding and really hope I could reach my PhD target next year! Really glad I was introduced to KIM (FB Kumpulan Ibu-Ibu Menyusukan Anak) because I learned so much about breastfeeding from them!

For me, the most important thing about breastfeeding is... You must be mentally prepared for it and ready for everything that comes with it. It will be more challenging for working Mothers (9am-5pm)... and I really respect those who are able to do this while busy handling office works, driving on the road everyday and taking care more than one kids at the same time (without maids/ helpers at home)!

I'm just thankful that I've the chance to watch Zain grows while working from home for now.

And by the way, DIET can take a backseat for a while when you're breastfeeding but if you're genetically lucky, you won't get FAT!

Me?
Well, I'm almosssst lucky.
Some fats are here to stay. Huhuu...

Enjoy and Take Care.

A Poster for BlingBuubies Nursing Apparel!

It was not until I have my own baby that I realized how important Nursing Apparels are... especially the ones that are tailor made for Muslimah.

Of course, we are so blessed that nowadays we could shop easily online and Mommies everywhere could buy from home before going out with their bundle of joys.

BlingBuubies is one of Malaysian online brands that offers Nursing Apparels. The great thing about them is that they are produced by Muslim Moms who understand the need of others when it comes to nursing wears. They even have set their own philosophies when designing the apparels.

So, I'm proud to do for them a FUN, colorful poster to introduce a new line of Nightwears for Mothers out there :). They are launching the products this month!

Hey, I just might get one for myself too!

A Green Header

Yes, this header I recently made has a lot of Green and a dash of FuN in it.
Just look how happy the kids are. :)

Thank you dear Esmeda for your order.

Head over to PASTI in Pasir Gudang, to check in your kids if you're interested!

Save d' Date for her Weddin'!

Now that almost everyone that we know is on the net, we could always send a friendly reminder in a digital form. 

So why not send a virtual "Save The Date'' for an important occasion such as a Wedding?

Here's one I made for a sweet client, recently...

By the way, this bride-to-be is such a good blogger-baker! (Hmmm.. her hubby-to-be is so lucky, huh?)

So, please take a peek at her hot stove, dapurCikWan for some great recipes!!!

Enjoy...

My Little Hero

" A hero is a man who is afraid to run away" 

- English proverb

Sometimes, I just wonder... What he's thinking?

10 months old, baby Zain is turning.

That means, his 1st birthday is fast approaching.

My full time job now is taking care of him, and I'm not complaining.

I'll do my things when he's sleeping.

He'll be in his walker when I'm cooking.

We'll go to the park in the evening.

We'll watch the pigeons feeding in the morning.

Everywhere I go, he is following.

In the middle of the night he's still crying...

and he's still breast-feeding.

Even though I'm helpless at cooking...

he makes me feel good when he's eating.

My eyes have dark circles for not enough sleeping.

I wish to get some massages when my body is aching.

He makes me happy when he's laughing.

He makes me worry when he's sick and weeping.

There's a long way to go and I'm learning...

... my baby will keep on growing.

If I'm gone I hope I'll be leaving...

a son who'll be a good muslimin.
