Another crafty ones!

Look at what i have done with my new fabrics. The quilted passport cover i just made today. And also done with other passport covers came with initial names for my friend Barbara -- she wants to gift her friends. They wrapped up in lovely glassine envelopes, labelled with my shop labels. Off to wrap into the tissue paper, awaiting for Barb to pick up.

felt on Good Friday!

on good friday, i killed my time by making several felt stuffs within 1.5 days...

my colleague coleen is going to give birth this coming may... i created the felt key-chain for her. the solid pink flower on top. and at the back, sewn with pink name "COLEEN"... finished off and put into a lovely simply paper bag with a little ribbon to sign off.

another felt key-chain for friend - violet flower with "transparent" beads on top. sewn up with "regina" at back.
i need a pincushion for myself as i always search up and down when i leave the pins and needles unattendedly, i saw some idea from "verybigjen" on flickr. i must say "verybigjen" is a queen pincushion. this one is more tough task for me... but its worth of my little effort!
another crafty stuff - semi-felt-cum-cotton cloth bunny. i got a tutorial from betz white on eblog - she is great at various task. i jus want to taste her idea with different idea of me to create one for my little girl. i added "ashley" and heart on pink felt and other side is 100% cotton which came as scrap that i bought off from www.etsy.com. its half way as i don't have sewing machine at home as i may get a little help from a friend or at my mom's. yah, i will upload the final foto of this bunny when i am done! :0

Another frame for Pete!

finally i created another one for pete as a remembrance with Hi! Theatre peers that he performed with many years before his marriage and had visited some countries.

it took me 3 hours (included lunch time) to draft out and ironed out the prefect layout - 1 metre length and contained more fotos of him and his old friends. am soo glad to hear that pete loved it soo much than i expected. my effort is worth than nothing...

Fabulous Frame!!!

i have been wanted one for my home esp huge blank wall to fill in. i spent my time on how to get the prefect frame for my aussie fotos... and drafted out roughly on the "mahjong" paper and had it trimmed in actual size. marched down to framing shop to follow my instruction. it took less than a week to have it done. very excited to collect it up as its my first creation on frame. :p

reached home, can't wait to add the lovely fotos of myself and family. it looks prefect!!! great for home!!! yah yah yah!

crafty again

at finally, my mom made the sofa cushion covers, took extra cloth from the IKEA long curtains which cut off at the bottom and had enough to cover up. the re-filled cushions were given from pete's current company.

after

bought the colorful bead necklace from holland village's bead factory on sale! i like that style but did not like as its tooo much for me so i cut some off and mixed with turquiose stones, retailed at SGD5.00 from my home area.

had enough of tough time... almost finished beading the long necklace and got my pete to hold up while he asked me to switch on air con in our room, but the nylon string got away from my damn-clumpy hands. it end up giving all the beads "run and jumped wildly" everywhere. my little ash picked every bead and stored back in my bead box. determined to be finishing the necklace again which took me more than one hour at same time as chatting with friend on MSN.

isn't it pretty???

my first beading ring!!!

today went to beelan's stall @ the forum and to get the sterling ring and beading wire from her. she taught me one try and i do the rest. originally, i bought the maroon bracelet that i don't like to wear as just want the beads only. i transformed it into my beading ring...

formerly the bead bracelet...

and cut off the string and stored in box safety before heading to the forum...

and at finally made the completely ring after 2 hours


all the items my friend beelan and her friend made and you can refer to beelan's website @ http:///www.zebralifestyle.com and you can order at your request...

extreme makeover...

finally i touch my home up at last with lovely stuffs...

grilled pete sooo deep that we bought the curtain pole from spotlight and put up at my master room window... the floral curtains from IKEA made by my mom.

bought a pair of holland wooden-shoes from tanglin mall's flea-market.

the navy clothes from IKEA were for kitchen purposes but changed my mind that used for the semi-curtain at my hallway... NICE and PERFECT!!!

at kitchen side... stored with some useful books and others... elephant in painting was bought from bangkok, thailand last dec. the glassed-jug looks so nice that i used the wrapping paper to keep in.

the clayed-pot painted by my buddy tania's mother... was given on her visiting to my home many years ago (time before ash's time)

"M" in wooden made by pete - stands for MARANS.

another made "A" and "O" stand for ASHLEY and OWEN, sitting between the 3-D bears framed up from my cousin lily, on the large piping that lead to air con.
