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!

DIY Wool Felt Ball Coaster

Don't you think this is simply awesomeeeee?
From Inspired By Charm!

Salvaging Scraps

Fabric scraps - leftover pieces of random fabrics after completing projects. Odd sizes and shapes which can get quite annoying after a while...

So I decided to whip up something quick for the coffee table whenever Mum serves some fruits and what not.

I grabbed the first few larger pieces of fabrics from my scrap stash and started putting them together, added 2 generous layers of lining to make this large-sized coaster decent... All the while finishing my Season 2 last episode of Sherlock, which by the way, ended with a cliffhanger. I'm getting used to these sort of endings, having just watched The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug. The old me would have been jumping up and down, cursing and pulling out hair at such endings. But being a little more grown-up (*smirks), I remind myself that it just means that there are still good things to come!

I digress. Here's a couple of shots of the coaster.
By the way, happy 2014 :)

Repeat purchases are the best compliments.

I have been working on a big order from a very supportive customer these few days. It's almost 2am and I have work tomorrow, and I have just finished her entire order, packed and ready to post! Feeling accomplished :)

I need to relook at my pricing for my products. I'm probably not making alot to cover my effort and time. It's tricky because every item is different, more or less. But most importantly, I want to keep it affordable with good quality.

Alright good night folks!

Etsyfinds: Coasters

I have been making lots of origami coasters for an order... so there's this slight coaster craze going on in my head. These are some of my Etsyfinds that I think are great!

 Etsy: decoylab

 Etsy: MaxplanationPhotos

Etsy: Dimlim

Etsy: JennyBartoy

I have a few more orders to work on!

This is handmade. Imperfect but unique.

See the irregularities? This is handmade :) good thing I'm not a perfectionist. Which also means that there may be people out there who may not like it. But it's Ok :)

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)

Ready-made!

I've just added a new photo album on my Facebook page - Ready Made!

These are all readily available in 1 piece each (unless otherwise stated) and are ready to be delivered immediately. I've also introduced some new fabrics which are of the Premium Collection. Why premium? Because they're more expensive than the usual, prettier and also limited in stock.

Here are some of the ready-made ones :) Interested? Drop me an email to order!

Red Strawberries w Pink White Polka Dots $10

Pouch: Dark Grey with House Prints + White Blue Polka Dots $10

Hot off the printer! *Excited*

My brother, Ian, designed it for me. He's into this colour right now - happily, I love it too! The colour is called Magic Mint :)

I love the font, I love the funny weird tree. I made that coaster some time back!

(and yes I can customize that coaster if you'd like!)

Cooking up something new!

I've been experimenting on the perfect size pouch for cosmetics! A friend recently placed a rather big order for a pouch that's bigger than what I have been doing, for her girlfriends tocarry their make-up around. I think it's great, because I could use one too :)

For everything that I make, I have this standard template to cut out the fabrics, so that every piece I make is as similar as possible. Some crafters use freezer paper, some use paper, some use cardboard pieces. I prefer using any card-like material I can get my hands on. Mailers, thin cardboard boxes, and in this case - cereal box. Reuse, friends!

I can't wait to share more photos when I'm done!

On another note, look at those gorgeous fabrics that I have :) I've always told myself that I have TOO MUCH fabrics. But honestly, you can NEVER have enough. They make me happy!

Oh I've just completed an order for 2 sets of the Stitched Heart coasters for an old friend - whom I haven't seen in forever, but soooo nice of her to show support to my work!

Busy Bee taking a little break!

I've just finished 1 bulk order! Just to clarify, when I say bulk order, it is 5 items and above :)

As a little promotion to celebrate the official start of my web business, I'm giving away free coasters!!!

Check this out:

When you order 5 and above of the Zippered Pouch, you get 1 of these babies for FREE! I personally like this coaster very much :)

And this is the completed order! *Happy!*
