Bunny for a Bunny Boy

For my nephew who will be born in the year of the rabbit:- Started with a scary alien-like fetus: added stumpy legs to hold the body up: A bushy tail to support it from the back, and coz it's just so cute: Two cute floppy ears and long arms: Looking a bit sad with the threads dangling:  embroidered nose, hid all the threads inside the body, and...

I discovered how NOT to make....

Craftsters often post pretty successful pictures of their creation. I'm sure that not all their ventures turn out the way they intended. Why not share some of the creations that did not turn out as well...after all, failure is the pathway to great inventions. So here are my beautiful failures... Realised that I can't 'singe' the sides of light colour fabric....

Craft Supply, Offline Shop

I bought craft supplies from, of all places, Daiso @Sunway Pyramid. Everything in Daiso is only RM5 each, and I picked up a nifty fabric scissors and a huge piece of felt.I remember buying felt from the Art Shop @ The Gardens, an A4 piece for more than RM5. This 25x25 inch white piece of felt from Daiso will allow me to make many many many items. We also stumbled...

Floral Wedding Headband, Fabric Flowers

I bought satin cloth of the most gorgeous aquamarine and warm sunshine colour, and fine organza in the prettiest light pink and golden yellow. I'm experimenting with making fabric flower from scratch, 100% handsewn, no glue used. I even cut out each petal piece by hand. After several less than satisfactory attempts, I figured out the best petal...

First Item for my Little Fashionista Line

Hot Pink Bracelet made from recycled T-Shirt material I've always liked the idea of transforming something old into something beautiful. Some articles say it's good to show the process of making the items, so that viewers know for sure that it's handmade. Well, I can tell you, it's handmade alright. I pricked my finger rather badly making this. So here's...

My Etsy Page

I've been experimenting with different ways of taking photos and different tags to use (thanks to Team Etsy Malaysia for their tips). I've just reworked half the photos in my Etsy account, and I think the page looks better now. It has a more consistent look.  I'm still looking to see how to improve it...practice makes perfe...

Esmeralda Ribbon Flower

Love love love how this flower turned out. I've always wanted to emulate Esmeralda's hair after watching Disney's Hunchback of Notredame. All the tumbling of dark, thick, gypsy hair...

Whimsy Weddings: Ribbon Flowers continued

I finished my entire roll of ribbon! The new creations are given names that just came to me when I looked at them. It's weird, but it's as if they were spoke to me and introduced themselves! Let me introduce you to... Annie Grace and Kelly Brigette Audrey The best thing about them is that they can be mounted on a comb, ring, pin, brooch, pendant, slipped...

Whimsy Weddings: Ribbon Flowers

I bought a roll of ribbons today thinking that it'll be nice to mix yarn and ribbon to create wedding accessories. It was my first time working with ribbons. I'm so pleased they turned out so well! They can be customised into a wedding brooch, hairpiece, corsage, etc. I'm going to turn the second one into a belt. Neat ribbons are very 'in' right n...

Four Leaf Clover Pendant

I made this some time back when I was feeling down on luck. Four leaf clovers are supposedly bringers of luck, and they are also a pretty pattern that one don't mind wearing (it's rather morbid to wear a rabbit's foot around one's neck, isn't it?). It's essentially four (stuffed) heart attached at the tip, with a curled stalk. It's not a dainty pendant,...
