Playing with Socks


Posted by Whimsy Loft
Thank you my friends for joining my One World One Heart (OWOH) giveaway.

It’s still going on… until the 15th of Feb. Click HERE to join.

Meanwhile, last week I found some cute little unused socks in my wardrobe… I can’t believe I have so many socks when I don’t wear except for travel, and I have separate sport socks for gym. What do I need so many socks for??!!

So… what do I do with them?…

Made some random little plushes… they’re good for random decoration.

No pattern, to planning… just snip-and-sew… and look how they turn out…

Here’s Mr Wrabbit…

Here’s the clown Monkey…
Am I a Monkey?

Here’s Miss Oink-oink…
Oink! oink!

And last but not least Meow (I don’t know whether its a “he” or “she”…) … hiding between my books.
Meow....

I’ve also added Google Friends Connect in my sidebar. Feel free to join as my friends. :-)

Magic Carpet 2010


Posted by Whimsy Loft

I nominated myself to be a Magic Carpet Ticket Holder.

See the LOGO at my sidebar, it will link you to the information page about this worldwide “blogger gathering”.

This is so fun!

I can’t wait till the 25th of January where I get to post my free giveaways to my lucky readers.

I want to know my readers (yes you! )  :-) .

I know I have a number of readers (google analytics and feedburner tells me so…) but somehow you are all quiet out there…

I always appreciate a comment, even if it’s just a “HI”. Please don’t be shy :-)

Hopefully this event will kick start our conversations and close the barriers. So… look out for my giveaways!

25th Jan to 15th Feb

 


Oh! Charmaine…


Posted by Whimsy Loft

Here’s the little doll I whipped up for my cousin’s little girl.

I made this after reading half a dozen of doll tutorials. And finally settled for drawing and cutting out my own pattern. I guess it’s sorta original but I admit I borrow heavily from Martha Steward Black Apple Doll (although I didn’t touch the free pattern they provided).

Charmaine Doll

Dolly Charmaine’s face and hair are made of felt & embroidery. The hands, legs and dress/body are made of calico and cotton. Insides… non-allergic polyfill ;-) .

I just had to embroider my initial “G” on Dolly’s palm. And on her chest, is the baby girl’s name “Charmaine”.

 

 

 


Hello 2010 !!!


Posted by Whimsy Loft

First of all, I want to wish you all…

A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010 !!!

It’s been a busy new year for me, albeit things are moving quite slow. So busy + slow, mean I have pockets of time to catch up on my breathing… hahaha…

Anyway, for this New Year, I have made some new products for the shop.

Big Love Elephants

Felt embellishment SET or some people call them applique SET.

They are all up on my Etsy, I list a few at a time only…

They are good for all your scrap booking projects, card projects, decorative projects… etc. They can be sewed on or glued on. Work great both ways! :-)
