Things that makes me SMILE

This adorable duckie lantern is a present from Sonja's uncle... aka my Brother aka 'jiu jiu'. We took it for a walk last evening to celebrate the Mid-autumn Feastival. Like the way the duckie wears a scarf and a matching cap... it's as if she's getting ready for Winter! Cutie!

This is such an pretty brolly! Got it at a steal from a shop in chinatown market. I was walking pass the area in search for a trim shop when this caught my attention. I have to have it! For Sonja to play... The quality is good and the prints are delicious! This brolly really make my entire yesterday! ;)

Date me for Halloween....

Miss Ghoulee Bag Charm SGD $25

Hello there! My name is Miss Ghoulee.
I've always love dressing up for Costume Parties! (Be'cos otherwise you can never see me at all, I'm pretty transparent ya' know)

This Halloween, catch me in my bespoke 'stripe-a-pose' outfit. For this very special day, I've dyed my hair jet black, put on bright green & emerald contact lenses in contrast to my already blue eyes & red lipstick!

I'm all ready to win the 'Best Mess Dress' award! Oh, do look out for my evil cousins Vernie & Vaula. They probably try to copy me style. But No! I'm the true Diva, so vote for me!

You can also take me home after the party. :)

Fabric Selection for NEW Cotton Baby Shoes

These are the latest fabric chosen for my cotton baby shoes collection. I'm getting really busy making them together with some other projects... They should be available at Babywear mid September 2010.

The Great UPDATES!

Yay! I manage to update some parts of my pretty blog shop today. Even with my little toddler playing around me while I'm at the computer. Needless to say when I'm done with work, there's a whole lot of mess around the living room... her toys placed in a somewhat abstract manner on our white tiled flooring. I don't even dare to enter our bedroom, knowing well enough that it's double the mess in the living room!

Messy or not, I'm happy with my work progress and I hope to be able to do this more often. So to the dear ones reading my entries and browing at my blog shoppee, may you have fun and enjoy what you see. Lastly, before I say goodbye to my updated blog page, treasure every minute of precious time you have... many great & little thing happen in these moments! ;)
Cheerios!

"Should I? or not? Maybe? think about it... I'll buy it!"

=> The thoughts that are ALWAYS in my head... one say to buy, one say no, later maybe. Whever I'm around fabric, printed ones especially, cute and pretty ones especially, my legs go jelly, my heart beats quicker... and there goes my money buying them. I simply CANNOT RESIST it!These are my latest, within a week! I secretly bought them in the midst of doing 'other' work. It's the lil' happiness I get whenever one of these lovely cloth goes into my bag of 'other things'. So anyway, I'll just have to stare at them for the moment, work out some designs in my already congested head while doing 'other work'. And until my 'other work' is completed, I shall get my hands on these fabric & start cutting and patching and sewing... Muahahahahaha........ (evil Laughter...) till then.....

LEetLe HousEs

These are my newest collection... Leetle houses for little things! 7 color combination in total, not inspired from the rainbow but from my stash of polka dotty fabric! I had lotsa fun sewing them and may you have lotsa enjoyment browsing through the lot! Check'em out by clicking at Pretty pouches on the right side!
Cheerios!

Getting Busy Again!

It's been a busy 2 weeks of cutting, snipping, stitching, sewing and pressing for my pair of crafty hands! Have been busy making some Russian Doll Pouches... a dear girlfriend of mine named Rina simply adore them and have told me that I should be making more of these dollies and so does my mum. She always belive that they'll sell out as soon as they are seen! I'm just so happy to have both family & friends believeing so strongly in what I'm doing! Love them so much! Check out my 'Pretty Pouches' section to see the latest collection of dollies!

TwO ThOuSaNd T.E.N

HellOooo..... new year! It's a time for all things New... new shoes, new bags, new school, new job, new dreams, new experiences, New Designs for nitty gritty to realise...
Lil' Sonja is nearing 1 year old and there's alot going on here. The past few months have been a challenging period for nitty gritty cos' baby keeps me very occupied. That's the reason why this pretty blog shop have not been regularly updated... however, we'll try to do something NEW... like updates of new stuff every month... apologies for those who faithfully tuned in... we'll do our best in 2010!
