Yesterday was public holiday for Malaysia… so I stayed home for half the day finishing up some custom orders…

We visited Digital Mall to grab some of those special papers which I make my labels with (the last of the last batch says the salesgirl! glad i got them… hehehe) and saw some lovely netbook on display… so I’ve been thinking about it since last night, and decided that I will get one for myself when I get my bonus this year *smile*…

Last weekend, I’ve also managed to tidy up my fabric closet. Well, if you think this is not tidy enough… you haven’t seen the “before” photo! Haha…

I’m having a great week this week. Happy Friday!

Updates updates!

Hello Friends,

I made some changes on my shipping policy over the weekends.
As of 2nd September 2010 (any orders received on 2/9/2010 onwards) will be automatically posted as REGISTERED mail with return receipt. This is for both domestic and international shipping. I made this change to serve you all better, giving you {and me} a peace of mind for safer shipping just for a small additional fee. You will be able to track all your purchases and need to sign for the package when they arrive.

~~~~~~~~~

Over the weekends, I have also received some pre-ordered fabric for you lovely people ~ thank you so much!!!
There are some left {cos I ordered extra for myself hehehe…} and I will either list them in my shop or make them into lovely pouches!

I have a 2 new pouch designs coming up…

Look out for them ya?

These are my absolute favourite linens at the moment. Double sided… one side polkadot, the other side strawberries!!!

Have a nice day you all!

Wowww wee.. new fabric!

I got new fabric today…

I call it “Road construction patches Cotton Fabric”.. so much for giving creative names… I struggle with naming my products everytime.

They are on their way to my etsy shop and blog shop soon.

Here’s am example of my matryoshka applique in use .

I made a flex frame pouch with plain cotton, and embellish her using the matryoshka applique I made last week.

I sooo love matryoshka motives and flex frame. Don’t you?

Meanwhile, last weekend I went to Ikea because I had a $50 coupon. What else to spend them on but fabric hehehe… I got these on a bargain 50% off the normal prices, all in 1/2 metre or 1 metre. They are thicker cotton, so very good for making tote bags… best of all no need to use interliner! Yay!

Now I’m off to snip ‘n cut up some pattern for a new tote bag I have in mind

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 decided to join My Creative Space at kootoyoo. Then realised it starts every Thursday… but anyway… here’s the post… i will note that for future

This is what I’ve been up to since yesterday. Cutting and cutting lots of square blocks for a 2 projects. And I got a new rotary cutter (the blue one)!! It is small and cute… and it comes with perforated blades too! Yay!

I like!
Can you imagine.. from my many years of sewing this and that… it’s only now I started using rotary cutter. And they are super wonderful!

Oh.. did I mention… those grid rulers up there… they’re new too! My cousin Annette ordered online for me. Thanks Annette! Double YAY!

In the mean time… what’s taking up my tiny creative space are 40 spools of crystal thread… which was delivered today. They are for my other project at church ~ Rosary making ~ one of our BEC is making 1200 Rosaries to be donated to people in Russia and Afrika. Tomorrow we’re be packing them up and distributing to volunteers to make the Rosaries !

I also printed more of my Whimsy Loft labels… this time I tried a new print-on fabric from Japan. Will list this fabric in my online shops as soon as the stock comes in!

Have a great day!

Today, Mr. Postman brought me 2 parcels. Made my day.

Aren’t these super fabulous fabric? These are my current favourites

The 2nd parcel is from Kate of Fox Lane, all the way from Australia. I won this in her SMS giveaway 2 weeks ago. Thank you Kate! The screen printed tree on the green vintage fabric is absolutely fabulous. I know just what to do with this fabric…

Do you like my fabrics?

I’ve been arranging and re-arranging my craft room… and found that I have just too many goodies that I will never ever finish using.
Thanks to my (bad) habit of not being able to control myself when it comes to fabric and cute haberdasheries.

So now, I’ve decided to share my loot with the rest of the world.
