finally they are here!

finally i am glad that i made few passport covers and two of them have been sold out to a friend. last night i spent a couple of times to design my simple banner for my shop but have not listed my crafty items what i made yet... need to write good details (of cos very short and simple that is enough).
another project - i was inspired by betz white and her very creative stuffs. one of them - bunny that i have been tried out - it did not completed after some lazy weeks... i took some time to finish off this morning and put outside the laundry window to allow the hot sun to kill the "germ" stuffs from the bunny for some hours before my little girl can play and hug it.

BAD saturday!!!

on the lazy saturday, i dropped my kids at the church for the catechism class as usual. randy was waiting for me there and drove me to his place where his wife regina waited for me... oh my god, randy showed me the bad crash at the back of his lovely car. he said the caused due to bad raining that the other driver crashed by accident. then i took the second shot of his licence plate for 4-D... hehe...

milky floral passport cover

shop spree for linens

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) .

spa... spa... spa...

today met my colleague Levi at bugis mrt before headed to Wayan Retreat Balinese Spa... very nice place with ideal interior design. first foto of balinese spa entrance door which you will see the stone steps with floods of water and flowers... 2nd one is front desk. the last one to lead you to spa place...

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

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...
