She has a lovely blog, have been clicking on her blog from time to time. Of course, the stuffs she made are just amazing. It's embarrassing even for me to look at her pictures and compare it to "work of art" hehehe.
Anyway, just hv a look at what she's offering..
Arent those buttons cute!!!!!!!!!

Yay! Finally...i've been wanting to make this for a long long long long time after i spotted someone selling it on etsy's. Been measuring my books and drawing it out on A4 papers. I'm lucky too as mairuru is kind enough to write out a tutorial :) Check out her site. I love the way she writes in her blog and the zakka stuff she has sewn..
Well, like i said, i've been wanting to make this for quite some time. I've even bought cutesy cotton fabrics online. Quite pricey and got some lousy service. I will never buy from her again. I will not mention names.. (so tempted to, but since i get everything i ordered, guess it's ok. prolly they hv a thing against sabahan.nvm..grr..) Anyway, my brain must be retarded that day. I pin the sketch on the fabric and i cut wrongly. Stewped me. Lucky can be saved ahahahah..
It's not the cutest thing, i've been sewing uphill and downhill. nvm...heheheh it's inside and u cant see after i turned the fabric nyehehehehe :D
And behold... the backside haha
Inside.
And the one with my book in it.
I cant believe i finish everything in 2 hours. I thought it will be like 1 day or 2. Poked my fingers few times. Breaking the neck and back at the same time. I didnt turn the corners properly, neither did i iron. I was afraid my ribbon will be burnt by the iron. I think my lining fabric was too flimsy. But overall, it still looks neat....from far. I'll make another one soon. KK is really sad. No nice fabric. Mostly flowery. Annoying. The pictures were...hmm..i've taken them with my scratched hp cam :p
Have a good day!
The other day, when i showed the bf my completed cardholder, he requested for a hp cosy. Took me some time to get started. Well, u know me, lazy. 1 night for measurement, 1 night for sketching, 1 night procrastinating. 1 night for cutting the felts. 1 night for sewing. I've finally completed it the other night while he was out meeting.
Here it is....ta daaaaa
Actually that snap button was last minute. Apparently the felt was a tad flimsy, afraid the phone will fall out of the cosy easily.
That cute windsurf thingy was unplanned too. It looked boring, so i added something which the bf loves very much. Below are the rest of the pics.
It doesnt fit the phone very well as u can see...but i'm very satisfied with the end result. Lucky the felt was black in colour, can hardly see the flaws, instead, it made my sewing looked very neat and clean. ^_^ I promised the bf a new one when this one is deemed unusable hahaha. I assume by then, my sewing skills have improved ten-fold and prolly no mistake in measurement and sketching ahahah.
*Note: the pics in this post, as u might hv noticed, are of excellent quality (as compared to my grainy pics in prev posts). Giving some credits to the bf and most of it to his a200. :p *
*Another note : i didnt know the bf blogged bout it too. anyway here it is. He'll be describing on the technical stuff bout photography *
Hi! I've not abandoned my blog yet. Truth be told, i duno what to blog sometimes...
Anyway, this will be a short one.
It occurs to me that i need something to keep my cards. Business cards from clients and of course, my own. I used to keep them in my wallet. After some time, most of it were crumpled and some even dyed with colours (i hv no idea why). In the end, i just don't bother to bring it along with me anymore, i threw it mostly inside my drawer. I came across this blog (sorry not sure which) that features this credit card holder, so i thought, why not make something useful, since i hv tonnesssss of felt.
So, right, i made that hideous thing. Hehe...it took me few mins to sketch and get the correct measurement. Took me two days to finish the rest of the stitches though. I was lazy. :D
These are the rest of the pics:
I guess it can fit 20-30 cards. Amazingly, it can even fit my phone.
Hi! I'm back again from a long hiatus (everyone is using this. so i'm using it).
Hehehe i've been busy (seems like i always do). Too tired and lazy to sit down and break my bone to do any cutting. Hmm...but do not be afraid, i have not thrown out my knives and scissors yet. They are faithfully waiting for me on the table and shelves hehehehe. They are still being used, but just for a different purpose as i'm trying out new stuff.
So, yeah, I thought i'll be creative and brave sewing :p Been surfing wantonly during the day, (shhh...do not tell my boss) on some awesome and amazing craft sites where those mummies and non-mummies (me!) actually made bags, felt softies etc etc. Why dont you click lit'l brown birds's dream and felt-o-rama and tell me, dont you just love those sweet little stuff they made. Wish i can sew!
Feeling damn inspired, i ordered fat quarters online and even walk to shop for some felt boxes and um..some buttons and threads. Guess how much i've spent. Right, prolly you shouldnt know burns a tinee-wineeee hole. I shouldnt bring them up, not a big hole...
Lookie my stash! Got 'em from akma & rai! Thanks alot...superb service they have. And, nope, i've not been using them. I wrapped 'em back into that plastic bag. Precious heheeh. I'm planning to make pouches with them. I'll wait till i've enough guts to pull the sewing machine which sits just outside my door into my room. And it's sad here in KK. Cant find those cute-sy fabric. I'm only seeing batik & flowery designs..geez..even polka dots are not available.
So you might ask what i've been sewing, since i dont even use those fabric. I bought felt. LOTSA felts. Nope, din capture a shot with my lousy phone. Think the lens got scratched. Those pictas were blurry. But i'm not here to complain bout my phone cam. Look...
My 2nd attempt in felt crafting. My 1st was years back. I duno where i've thrown the little duckie. It's suppose to be a handphone thingy. But i've failed to attach the sling or watever it is. No idea how it's suppose to work. I'm stewped.
I have sewn a bag and a speckie case too with velvet during my form 5 break. I hv no idea where i've stashed it. So, yeah. I'm not really that new into sewing. But you can say i'm rusty. You know what, I dun even remember how to sew around a buttonhole hmm....
Did you see that booties? Got the template from here. I finished this over a month. Well, i've not been sewing everyday. That explains it. Looks good from far eh? Lucky me. Like i said, i dont remember how to sew the buttonhole. The button hole looks awful. Lucky there's buttons to cover heheheheeheh. Am i selling it? Nope. Y? Giving it to some baby? Nope. It's so amateurish and looked too awful that it's only for my softies. I'll try to find a bear to wear it :)
Hehehe..guess that's it. I'll be away for some time again b4 the next update. Until i've stuff to brag and blog about.
Right...i need to update the blog but i did nothing recently, hence this crappy post hehehe.
I found there are cuttings that i missed. Such as this fairy here. I think it went MIA when i was uploading to the previous blog.
And umm...what do u make of this?
Pardon me. The picture looks awful.. Bad quality aside, do you think it's marketable? I'm trying to earn side income hehehe. And no, i'm not in need of money. Just that i'll be happy with more money in my pockets. Then i can go shopping, online shopping, buy lotsa lotsa lotsa stuff and..
Just wanna use up the leftover of the black coloured paper from the valentines' butterflies cutting. Must not waste! I cut more butterflies. And cats.. Now my room is very dirty. Bits of black and white paper everywhere. On my table, beneath my calendar, on the floor, on the shelves...
Hope u enjoy these :)
The persian cat look-alike. or is it really persian..
Hehe fly fly butterfly
Butterflies in the air
Posted by Rachael Labels: butterfly, flowers, heart, kipandi, leaves, valentinesI think i got inspired by the visit to Kipandi Butterfly Farm recently...and thus, the post title. Massy visited and posted some awesome pictures. This got the bf and i excited hehehe. Check out their posts by clicking on the links under their names.
Seriously it was fun, those of who hasnt been there yet, please do. Choose a day with good weather, nice and sunny :) Butterflies love the sun and light! The only disappointment was i didnt see any raja brooke butterfly. Where are they hiding! But we get to see the larva and pupa though (Massy didnt :p).
Anyway, please tell me what u think bout my latest cutting :)
The heart wasnt neat... :( but it looks cool though. Butterflies were leeched from some unknown site. The design was self designed and the rest of the flowers & leaves were hand drawn too.
I know it's early, but Happy Valentine's day!
It's the new year! So i thought i should cut some stuff, pick up from where i left off heheeh..
It's been like 4 months since i last did some snipping. Well, lotsa things happened. The workload had been crazy and still is, unfortunately. Then the printer went all moody. First, was the ink and now, i suspect it's the print head. Hmm....fortunately i was able to coax it print a cow b4 it collapsed into a series of errorssss.
Right, that's my ox.. I've decided to cut on an orange coloured paper. Cant find red. It's not as good as previous cuttings. Rustiness..Took me an hour to finish up and I feel awkward holding the xacto hehehe. Let's keep our fingers cross and hope there's more to come :)
Hope you like it!
p/s. I hate my blog template. It's ugly
Well, the title says all.
I'm moving from wordpress to blogspot! :D
Feel free to view my previous site, Snip Snippity Snip. I'm not sure on how to import my posts..so might as well just leave it there heheh.
