[front page love :)]

Being on the etsy front page yesterday really made my day :) that and the 9 orders that i thought were bogus but actually were real sales! Plus, today i'm off to put up my albums at a shop, so excited! :)

O and took advantage of a G-free afternoon to do these :Shadowbox for soon-to-be married cousin R - brother of F, who came over for a crop and talk session :)
Love the combination of red and black with the classic wedding poses :)
Giftwrapping in Xmas colours - can you believe it's already the end of 2007! :P
O and of course my yummy purchases on an afternoon spree with M
how's that for a couple of days work (play) :)

[K's 1 month celebration]

K's 1 month old! :) how time flies.... she's definately gained lots of weight, has started to coo back when you make silly faces at her, and of course have also started to demand much more attention! Today we celebrated her 1month old milestone, lots of food and family... here's the pics :
Don't disturb me! i'm 1 month! :)

So sad that V couldn't be around for the whole day of celebrations. I realised we didn't even get to take a family shot together! :( Maybe over the weekend we'll do a proper one...

On the crafty front, inspired by B, i've finally gotten over the inertia of styling my packaging. Did these for some fabric buttons that i might put up in the shop soon :) and also trying out the packaging for my albums!


have a great weekend! we're off to the beach tomorrow... yay!

[are you tired of seeing these?]

Heh heh... sorry to be inundating the blog with even more fabric photo albums. I finished these a couple of days ago, but with the madness of arranging for K's 1 month celebration (can you believe it's already been 1 month!! ), getting her to poop (i'm still not that cavalier a parent that i don't get worried abt the bowel movements of a newborn - maybe i will be more relaxed with the next one :P), i had to do everything in painstakingly slow stages - take the pics one morning, download the next, upload at night. But! i actually finished 8 this time around, which is pretty good for a week's work!
So, here are more pics of the albums:





G's really growing up so quick. Oh, i told her "i can't stand you being so messy at the table!" and she replied "mummy, are you going to stand on my head?" heh..... And today she packed up her sister's diapers into the drawer, because it's empty and she "learnt to pack in school".
O, and it might be too early to celebrate, but i think she might be able to go to bed by herself!! woohoo.... lots more crafting time! :P

*o and i might be able to sell my albums in a really cool brick and mortar shop! will keep you updated.... :)

[early to bed, early to rise]

It was a setback to my crafty time when i fell asleep really early last nite.. luckily for me, G went out with my parents for a little library visit this morning, and K was pretty contented napping the whole morning, so i managed to squeeze in some crafting time in the morning.
Here's what i did:
Got started on the pattern that i bought HERE. Thanks to M, who was keen on picking up knitting and came for an impromptu knitting lesson yesterday, i've rekindled my love for the 'clickety clack' of the knitting needles. It's pretty therapeutic, putting stitch after stitch, and being able to see the outcome after a few rows... :)


Another project that i'm starting on - it's a series of notepad covers. I'm still perfecting the pattern for it, probably i'll be incorporating a pen holder into it. Will let you know if i can include it in my shop anytime soon! :P

We've also managed to get some pictures of G and K together.
G has been wanting to be treated like a baby since little K arrived.
Swaddled up like a little baby...
Yummy teatime chocolate cake :)

[more shop updates]

Finally finished up the 'alternative' line. Maybe i should call it the "diffusion range" ... heh heh... like those fashion houses :P
Anyways, here they are - i'm pricing these quite a lot less than the ones on my shop now, so hopefully it'll be well received!
(i'm now anxiously waiting my new stash of fabric that will be arriving mid-month)
This is the lot :)
minimal applique with some buttons
love the buttons :)

some handstitching
this is my fav of the lot - i think i'll make more of this :)

bookends together :)
