final touch-up for the BEN-10

my little owen never stop bugging me for that item - i got it done quickly.... and name it as orangish owen at the back. mmmm am much happy to see the "Ben 10" in exact way as it is. yah owen is thrilled to have it on his bag...

Floss Bobbins in ORDER!

i have been having the colorful threads for years... that i used for the various usage on cross stitches, felt stuffs... etc. the threads are in messy condition until i found some useful floss bobbis on ebay and bidded on 2 sets which i jus rec'd. of cos happily organised them into my container...

Recycled Endpapers???

i have been gathered all the nice endpapers from my work that they don't need the endpapers (samples) once the books published. all the endpapers piled up into a little mountain and i brought them home and recycled them into ideal envelopes... somehow i use them for christmas or other purposes can be used...

Final done!!!

am glad that the felt "Anush & Kumar" sewn up well and went with leaves and flowers. sent out to framing shop and had it matching frame. their wedding is coming next week - 8th march, sat. i will give them in person with our "red packet" as traditional way.

Yu Sheng

our dept decided to have our own yu-sheng order - yummy....

felt ideas!

at home, owen often talked abt his big fan cartoon -- Ben 10 non-stop. it made me sick of this and my ears got "ear-ached". it gave me another idea that i can make "BEN 10" out of felt material to make him feel good.

finally i did it and it looked fabulous. yes, owen is thrilled to have it on his school-bag. but its not completed yet. need to joint with the grosgrain ribbon and key-ring.


we have rec'd the wedding invitation card from pete's cousin's daughter anusha who is getting married to her to-be-hubby kumar who is living in washington, usa. planning to have a nice felt with some embroidery in frame so they can hang in their home nest back in usa after their marriage. will show you on my coming blog once it finishes.

i find that felt materials not cheap anywhere. i bought 2 colors - natural green and prefect pink - each metre costs SGD18.00 from spotlight. the rest i bought from ebay usa. cos the color in singapore not good color or none of them is not nature color that i want. only outside have a various nice colors.

cookies cookies cookies

before baking cooking...

another idea for book-mark

last night, i spent 2 hours to create my own book-mark which beared my lovely family on it - was taken in gold coast's sea world in nov '07. it made me feeling soo nice... natural brown with bright blue on family name. or colorful image with embossed name... still have not decide on one yet!

DIY key-chains

finally made another felt crafty stuffs - key-chain / handbag charm.... i have made both-sided on each item:

wool flower was re-cycled from ash's old top which out-grew and had been keep since now. the colorful beads was bought from holland village's bead factory.

the hot pink scotty dog is my little fave... isn't it cute?

my little ash tried to get another crafty idea to have scotty dog as " scotty key-chain"... hand-made by herself...

killing boring time!!!

on first sat of february, my kids' catechism classes began... at holy spirit church in thomson area. i often feel boring very quickly, i took a nice snack at opposite - dino - very nice foods from cakes to home-cooked foods to makan. i brought my 'fave' book "CUT! -- hollywood murders, accidents, and other tragedies" by john-michael howson, with me to read while having a lime juice and roll cake.
