I love Ikea!

I went on a sewing frenzy when I bought these two mini bolts of material from IKEA! (Should have bought the other two bolts in red too!!! Ahhhhggh!!!) Lots of ideas popping in my head and I really have to buy these fabulous cotton prints. My mom thinks I've gone overboard with the fabric stashing, but still go wah! with everything I've made so far. Don't try to stop me, I just love these cotton prints and at RM29 for 3 metres each, I should have bought more (sigh!).

Lime green tones and hippos dancing, what sweet and happy colours.


I made one for each of my niece. Of course, Nigel 's bag is for his newly acquired toy the L-Max (Thanks Grace for lugging it back from the states!). It's padded inside to protect his toy from his clumsy self!
No bag is complete with one of my felt pins.
A little bag I made for Ijin. I hope the strap is not too long . This is also one of my favourite upholstery fabrics.
I made a draw-string pouch to match Nigel's bag to house the long wires that came with his edu-toy.
Buttons! Buttons! Like candy from the candystore!!

All of them together. What do you think?

Mega Month of May

This was supposed to be my work in progress report for the month of May, but I think most of you know that I sort of do crafts that only require at most 2 days of work. I don't really like time consuming crafts (Ok, I admit, I have a short attention span and some of the crafting I do is already stretching the mark.) So, here's more like my completed works for the month of May. Work at home have been quite hectic, but surprisingly I've also completed Emily's lunch tote. (See if you can find hints of the completed project in these pictures, I won't be showing them until I send them on their way to Emily.) My baby jacket tutorial will have to be posted later, still have the template to prepare. Thanks for dropping by, really appreciate the comments and the personal emails I've received. Love you girls!

A little fudgie-wudgie for a newborn. My niece just gave birth to a healthy baby girl!

Don't you just love Crocheted dresses. I used leftover yarn and in lavendar.

Sitting pretty on a pillow I made.
The baby jacket I've been working on. I will post the tutorial later this week.
They call this an Amigurumi. Did this a while ago with my leftover rug yarns. Turned out quite well. Don't ask me how I did it, I just crocheted free style and planned as I hooked. Will plan to do more of this, she's so cute. A row of these will be so nice!
The back of the crocheted doll. Velvet ribbon straps and a yummy blue bear for a button.
Say 'Cheese'.
Hmmm. I think I need to do those legs again. They look a little weird.
