Time management

I need better time management. Or maybe just be more disciplined. Or maybe a craft studio with no bed around!
When I'm at work, I get inspired by my Pinterest feed. But when I finally do get home, I just feel so exhausted from the entire day of working on excel coatings that I just want to sit and zone out.
I get motivated when I get orders like this wristlet which I haven't made for a while.
But this shouldn't be the way! I want to make new things! I need more weekends!

Coasters Giveaway!

Doing a little giveaway this Monday morning because Mondays are such a chore.. 
5 assorted designs! Go to www.facebook.com/Madewithlove.n to like and win!

Panel fabric with swedish designs

What should I do with this? This is so cute but it was an impulse buy so I only got half a yard.
Uncle didn't even cut straight lines :(((
I'm very particular about cutting fabrics because it affects my sewing.
Anyhow... Should I just leave it like that or.. Make a bag? :)

Travel drawstring bags!

Introducing a new size to the drawstring collection. Well, there are only 2 types of drawstring bags that I have now so maybe calling it a 'collection' is stretching it a little. Haha!
This new size is great for travel! It helps me organize my clothes - to be honest, I use it mainly for my underwear when going on a long trip (more than 4 days).
Or I use it when I bring clothes to and fro, for fitness classes.

I'm running a little promotion for this - order today for just $20, which after today, the usual price would be $28.

What do you think of this new size?

A sweet thoughtful gift!

A customer came back and asked me if I could make a little eye patch for a teddy bear. It was a curious request and she explained that her friend is going for an eye operation soon and she would like to give her a little gift.
This is so so sweet!!
So I gave it a try and it turned out to be kinda funny and cute.. But I think this will be a one time thing because making clothes and accessories for dolls/plush isn't something I would want to do too many times! Haha

Hand-stamped laptop sleeve~

In my excitement to post an order out to this awesome loyal customer, I forgot to snap a photo before sealing the envelope. She has kindly sent me a few shots when I asked her to help!

She wanted both fabrics so one side was the kitty fabric, and the other was one that I specially stamped for her.
The A5 mousepad was also a customized one which I sent to her as a gift as a thank-you for being super patient with me when I was busy and took a really long time to complete her order.

Have a good week!
