Baby Elephant Embroidery for my best friend :)

I created this Baby Elephant illustration especially for my bestfriend's baby J. I asked her if she has any preference for baby animal and she mentioned elephant so I tried to draw one for her. I was thinking how can I use this particular pic and had the idea to turn it into embroidery. 

I have a cousin who make Baby Clothing as a business called Banana (it's quite a popular brand in Jakarta) and I asked her a favor to create a custom embroidery for me ^^ The pics shows how the illustration turned out and I love it! I hope C will like it too ^^

Baby Shower!

My bestfriend C and my cousin from my hubby's family L organized this whole thing for me. They choose the theme, the decor, invite the guests, choose the place, etc. It was quite a surprise for me since I had no idea they organized it until 3 days before. I found it the printed stuff at my store and I asked hubby if he knows anything about it. He admitted that they're creating a surprise baby shower =D So, even though it wasn't entirely a surprise as they hoped it would be but it's still such a nice surprise for me ^^

The place is called Pand'or which is a nice restaurant and cafe located at Wijaya, South Jakarta. Their menu consisted of Western and some Asian food including Indonesian food. The decor is pretty and combined with the balloons, gifts and additional decorations done by C and L, it was simply beautiful and stunning. 

So it was such a beautiful day for me and hubby. We enjoyed the food, the time we had with our friends and families and of course... the pressies! All of them gave us pressies for the coming baby! I feel that we're so lucky to be surrounded by so many thoughtful and caring friends and families. Not many people are as lucky as we are and we appreciate everything and thank God for everything. Such a lucky baby too :) He's not even here yet and already got so many presents!

So many things to do yet so little time...

I feel that I'm chased by so many things at the moment. Since there's only a week left before the time we fly to Perth, I feel there's sooo many things to be done for work and home. I haven't done my packing too which is unusual. I like to pack 2 weeks before my departure ^^ this is to ensure I have everything ready and since I don't like like being rushed so I always do my packing real early. But this time, all the baby stuff are still scattered around and I have no idea how to pack those hehehe... 

We just visited my Jakarta doctor for one last time and he said the baby is great, he's about 1.5kg now which is normal and healthy. He also said the baby has lots of hair hmm.. hehehe.. something that he gets from his dad definitely ^^ But he's healthy and that's what matters the most. 

I can't wait to go to Perth but at the same time thinking about work makes me feel rather guilty. But well, there's priority in life sometimes we just have to make the choice.
