shop spree for linens

finally i dragged my sis and mom to chinatown for the yummy lunch and shop for some fantastic fabrics there... and bought few yards of linens in different colors. am sooo excited to make some crafty out of this fabrics...

Welcome my new "hubby" - BROTHER sewing machine!

lets welcome my new hubby BROTHER PETE - sewing machine. i must say - my mom is excellent seamstress since i was young. she used to make bikini, panties, pencil cases, reversible bags and even patchworked my blankets. so far we still have our patchwork blankets from her. later i will ask mom to give me a few tips on this issue as she is now busy taking care of little Darren (son of my cousin).

firstly headed to Bishan's BEST that i was thought to get the new sewing machine but saw all the items branded SAKURA which cost more than few hundreds, not worth to buy one as myself not very skilled "tailor". took MRT back to Ang Mo Kio's COURTS and found a new hubby... yah i used it more than few hours before giving Pete a break... :p

i used the small cotton fabric to test my "new" hubby Pete and it worked fun... and first time made the small key-chain with felted "B" (as for my friend Barbara) .

Amy Butler - French Paisley / Patchwork Bundle - Rainbow

i bought some nice fabrics from www.etsy.com where the sellers are self-creative makers sell a lot of fancy stuffs... i plan to make some out of them when i can. for my little girl, want to make something like bunny that i saw online that one made it sooo cute. why not i try myself???

this 100% cotton fabric is out of print and as you can see, it's pretty magnificent. the colorway is called Lime Peel and this remaining piece measures 71" x 44".
a bundle of fabrics perfect for patchwork, quilting, appliqué, and other small projects. 100% unwashed cotton. and bag of green colored scraps.

Many of these fabrics are designer.

shopping with mom

what a worn-out day... after hard work day, heading to my mom's for dinner. nice to feel home again although i no longer stayed there since i got married 16 years ago. and rec'd the nice mobile strap with flower clay from sis janet (her buddy was vacation from hawaii).


then went out with her to toa payoh hub and bought mom samsung mp3 player. she's thrilled to use it... came with free cool pink case.


after long shopping, we went home separately and finally came home and a quickie shower before jumping in my nest... sooo nice to feel great at home again with my fave candle-lit gave me a fab feel during bed time. good nite!
