Furoshiki

Furoshiki is a type of traditional Japanese wrapping cloth that was used to transport anything - clothing, food, gifts and other goods. It is more popular now as gift-wrapping, and the more common thing I have seen so far is wine bottles! Very pretty way of gift-wrap!

How I started researching about this was a post by Fictive Fingers on their facebook. They are hosting an event this weekend, and you should totally check it out!

Felt craft

I was just browsing Pinterest for some inspirations on felt crafts as I was thinking of making some simple felt pins as part of the bridesmaids' outfits for my brother's wedding. I came across this beautiful bouquet - I love light grey and this color combination is fantastic!

Doodling

A little stressed out at work, so I drew these little birds to accompany me.. Haha. Actually I saw something online and decided to give it a try. Maybe I can make a stamp out of this?

Wall Art

I have been thinking of filling up this empty wall in my bedroom for a while now. I liked the minimalist look, but I think it's time for a change :)
Some interesting wall art I found...

Customized rubber-stamped items!

I'm having loads of fun with rubber stamping! I think up of some designs (or just blatantly copy off the web), carve out and stamp on every thing that I can find.
My sister wanted something that she saw on Etsy...

oops. I should have cropped a little here... *sheepish smile*

So then, I decided to give it a try, since it's just a simple Triangle stamp!

I bought some new colors!

 Ta da!!!

Looks great on coasters too! (This pair is in my Ready Made collection! $6/pair)

Adding to Ready Made collection

Slowly getting ready for Christmas... :)

Origami Drawstring Bag! I really enjoy making this type of drawstring.

For this piece, the interior fabric is Pink with White Polka Dots.

$28!

The standard drawstring bag - I haven't made this in a while. Someone customized one recently, and I decided to make a couple more :)

This measures about 8" square, going for $15 (limited offer).
