Some updates …

I’ve started sewing again… {with my machine}… I realised I got too used to using the “hand button”, that today I decided to use the stepper (is that what we call it?), and my hands and legs just don’t coordinate well. I don’t know if you understand what I’m trying to say hahaha… Oh well, I made a few bags with my very limited Japanese tenugui fabric . Will post photos later, as I am too lazy to get my camera out now.

My SALE is still on at http://WhimsyLoftShop.blogspot.com. Daily I will list a few items… one of them will include this beautiful Japanese cotton. I only have 1/2 a yard though…

P/s: and THANK YOU for those who have supported me in this shop, I appreciate your patronage

And… I have opened a Dawanda shop. Finally! Been wanting to do this for sometime now. Here’s the link: http://en.dawanda.com/shop/WhimsyLoft

Ok, for now, have Happy Monday everyone!

{i call it de-stash because they are my LOVELY crafty notions which I’ve been collecting and things that I made myself … and they have been with me “stashed” in my craft room… no worries, they are all new, in very good condition… and I’m selling them at a very reasonable (low) price}

Look out for new products daily.
I will be adding little by little all the way till end September 2010.
You may reserve products up to 1 week, just let me know *smile*

pssstt… I even have an icon for it… hehehe…

And because I am happy…

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

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).

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”.

This month, the lucky subscriber is…

Noni… from Malaysia!!!!

Huhuhu… from my very own country.

Congratulations Noni!

~~~

And the free gift is… Noni, tak ada suspense liow… tapi, no worries I got surprise in the envie for you, so ada sikit suspense lah…
