Chubby Cheeks

nitty gritty bebe, inspired by Lil' Sonja

Q: Why Chubby Cheeks?
A: Becos' that's what I call Sonja, she has really chubby kissable cheeks!

About Chubby Cheeks:
Now that I have a baby, I've been toying with the idea of doing sweet baby stuff for little girls. Since I love sewing, I could probably do up some designs. Let's start with footwear. I enjoy dressing Sonja but couldn't find pretty shoes to match her get up. So why not make them? That's how I started bag making too. Back when I was a design student, I always wanted or rather needed bags to match my outfit so instead of buying I make them. Cos I know my mom won't disapprove if I sew myself some nice bags versus buying new ones... Moreover, my mom does alot of sewing for us when my sister & I were little. We've some of the most prettiest bags and dresses that you can't get from else where cos' its all handmade with mommy's love. So now, it's my turn to do it for my girl. Some great things do run in the family ;)
Sneak preview of my bebe collection. Fregie frog (Sonja's toy) presenting Fabric mary janes and a quirky bib. Will be doing more designs & perhaps apparels too... Stay tuned.

1st Timers @ Maad !!!

Welcome June 2009!
This month is exciting for us becos its our debut @ Maad (6th & 7th June). Many friends and loyal supporters have been encouraging me to join Maad and I finally did it! Achievement & Satisfaction! June's gonna be a happy, colorful month for me!
Maad is really a cool place to be... Not only did I 'bump' into good old friend I even make new ones. 3 cheers for the mummies I got to know in this event. They're the ones who takes care of the kids, keep the homes clean, cook for hubby & still make time to CRAFT! Here comes a new generation of super moms! And am I not glad that I am one too :p
I simply love this idea of being under one roof with fellow designers & entrepreneurs alike doing what they do best and making money out of it. After all nitty gritty started as a hobby & is now a mini business. Yipee!

Look out for more nitty gritty in July 4th & 5th cos we'll be BACK!

my little corner, nice & warm...
Sonja, Mommy + Dad Dad (behind the camera), together we make a great team!

Hello everybody, I am Sonja Foo Qi En & I would like to thank you all for visiting us at Maad.
Hope to see you soon! ta-ta!
