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.
You can now find these FAT QUARTERS of IMPORTED Japanese fabric in my Etsy shop.
Please come support me.
More to be listed when I have time {believe me when i say i have a whole wardrobe full of pretty fabric!}.
If you let me know in etsy that you came from here, I will throw in a surprise especially for you
Have a merry weekend. I know I will.

Hoookayyy… these days, my passion for jewelry making/beading has been renewed. Thanks to my God Sis… she’s learning how to make Rosaries and braceletes and earrings… so she’s looped me into this with her enthusiasm.
This is part of somethings I achieved over the week. (i’ll post the others in flick later this week)
A gift for God Ma for Mother’s Day::
Another similar earring::
Meanwhile remember this post… well all 3 bags have arrived at their destinations, and I can now reveal what is inside.
The largest pack was for niece Lucy… which includes this little turtle… stuffed with polyfill and rice and have my initials on her!
In the bag there is also 2 dresses (one made by me), some cute spoons, and a hanky and sling bag made by me. I hope you like them Lucy !
The other 2 bags are for my 2 blog friends who won the OWOH giveaway I joined back in February.
I’m looking forward to the weekends (as usual 
). Are you?

Sunday was spent counting beads and putting together 60 packets of Rosary kits. Yes… May is the month of Rosary, and I am hosting a Rosary-making class in church.
These beads are so pretty and not too costly. They are plastic pearls… basically plastic beads made to look like pearls. They come in strings and strings of white beads which has been “dipped” into the colour of choice.
I choosed mauve and peach… and to make up the rest of the Rosary strings… I choosed tiny shell/cream coloured beads.
They’re so pretty… that Scout cannot help but “spy” while I was counting and packing…
Here they are all packed up…
I wish I can pack them up in nice fabric bags… but our budget doesn’t allow it… well nevermind… !
Each kits has 59 rosary beads (coloured beads) and about 150 tiny beads, approximately 2.5 metres of monofilament thread and of course the center piece & cross. (these kits here don’t have the center pieces and crosses yet… still waiting for supplier to deliver).
For those of you in Malaysia, anywhere around Petaling Jaya, feel free to come for our free Rosary making class (you just need to buy the kits!) on 22nd and 29th May in SFX Church.

Went to Brother’s head office for a demo this morning, and immediately headed to the dealer to get this BABY.
I won’t say I haven’t thought about buying a new machine, but it’s just that I haven’t thought about buying it as much as I expected to have thought about buying before I bought :p Haha…
Boy I sure have a lot to learn… upgrading from this old mama to this new baby sure made me realise that I have a huge “sewing machine generation gap” to close.
old mama::
Old mama needs a rest, she’s been needing service more often than usual… but still reliable when you need her.
Now, the new babe in town is all set and ready to rat-a-tat-tat! Looks like I’m going to spend the rest of the afternoon learning how to rat-a-tat-tatting!!
I’m so happy. Hope you have a fun creative wonderful weekend too!

my newest addition to the sewing basket…
1 for my cuz Annette, 1 for me…
It’s amazing how a little something like a spanking brand new rotary cutter can make my day.
Here’s a peek on what I’ve been making the last weeks…
2 cell phone pouches… fits Nokia E71 perfectly.
A Rosary for my Godma… a custom gift requested by my God Sis for her Mom for Mother’s Day this May.

About 2 weeks ago, don’t know what’s got into his head. The dear dog decided to leave his mark on a whole bag of fabric. So laundry day it was… just love the way these fabric sway in the warm breeze. Took only an hour for them to dry in this heat!
See the pink mushroom quilt at the back? I bought this in Bangkok (queen size) for only USD 5. Cool eh??
Speaking of Scout, we went to the vet during the weekend for his annual jab. He got irritated when the vet tried to check his ears with the “ear tool” and almost grab her hands in his jaw. Scout doesn’t bite. But when he doesn’t like what you’re doing to him, he grabs your hands in his jaw… well, his jaw is his hands afterall… it could be scary for someone who doesn’t know him though.. hahaha…
Meanwhile, I have 2 new favourite tv series ~ Mercy and NCIS L.A. Yay! Now I have a reason to stay home on Tuesday nights.
Ok. Will stop here for now. Later alligator !

Lately, I have not really been crafting much. Some odds and ends here and there… sometimes just so my brains register I have MADE something. It’s funny isn’t it… how we crafters just need to MAKE something.
With all the tiresome brain work activities at work, I destressed by spending money on haberdashery items. Just to share some…
I got most of them from Bangkok 2 weekends ago, while some are from my local haberdashery shop. Yes, even with holidaying in Bangkok, I seek out hobby shops and fabric shops just so I can spend lots of money hahaha…
This is becoming a very bad habit. “Control yourself girl!! “
Meanwhile, I am planning for another giveaway… some miscellaneous this and that from my ever growing stash of haberdashery… I just need some time to sort them out… Have a happy Sunday !
