Customised clock

I got this idea from Janice, she told me that her bf made her one on Valentine's Day. So I go home and give a try, making this for my wedding soon. I felt so warmth to have this table standing clock in our room, because every morning open eye will see this clock, create a brand new feeling for my life after wedding.

It's easy to make, just open up the clock layer by layer, and make sure you remember how to fix it back, haha :P

Melody

Nowaway, it is easy to get DIY felt kit from any gift shop. I bought Melody DIY kit, it included the template, felt, thread, etc. Very easy to do, step by step. I think this is for beginner and the cartoon all is very commercial, for instance: hello kitty...........

After exploring flickr.com & etsy.com, i no longer like commercial pattern; instead i like creative pattern.

Sewing Machine vs Projects

I wish to own a sewing machine, I guess this is what a crafter always dream for. Beside is the cutest sewing machine I have ever seen in my life, so cute, rite? Unfortunately not mine, it belongs to a crafter in Japan.


As a beginner, I plan to buy a basic & small SINGER sewing machine, price range RM 699-799. Few crafters recommend BROTHER's sewing machine to me, it is cheaper than SINGER.

Do you have one? Share with me, when you bought it, what brand and for what purpose.



Projects I plan to make:
1) Passport wallet
2) Eco Bag (Environment Friendly / Recycle Bag)

Be Glad of Life

Finally I found the real meaning of this phrase "be glad of life". This is my last year birthday present by Chris & Joey, I kept this journal for almost 6 months until I fall in love with crafting then I started to write on the 1st page. This is all about my crafting history, experience, planning, projects.......



I love it so much, I wish to share all my crafting life with it. <3

Etsy.com (Buy/Sell Handmade)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etsy

Etsy is a website which focuses primarily on providing the general public with a way to buy and sell handmade items. Many have compared the site to a wide open craft fair, because it grants sellers their own personal storefronts where they may list items for a small fee and showcase their handcrafted goods.

I personally recommend anyone who love handmade stuff to join Etsy, it is a platform where you can sell & buy unique handmade stuff from there. And the listing charges are far more attractive than Ebay.

Little Felt Cuties

My 1st craft book is about "Making DIY Greeting Card"; so this is my 2nd craft book. Bought it from Popular Book Shop (Queensbay) in June 2007, attracted by the "bride & groom". Planning to made it for my wedding end of the year.

After i made "bride & groom", i made "scholar" for my friend's convo; followed by "little witch" due to Harry Porter trend at that time.

Wish to own more craft books soon.
