Stitched this little ornament for my daughter...She will be sitting for her GCE 'O' level exam from coming Monday till mid November. I managed to finish the stitching and made it to a small ornament in time. "If you Believe you can Achieve" is what i am going to tell her. Hope it will make her feel more confident when she see it. :) All the best, JY. I know you can make it.

I was doing leisure surf in the net, and when I type in “sewing area” with Google images search, so many photos and picture appeared on my computer screen. I enjoy looking at those photos. I always love to admire at others’ sewing area, especially those with super neat storage and well organizer ones…how I wish I have such a nice sewing room! Those photos with “Before” and “After” packing are

It struck me even more when I overheard two of my colleagues talking about some of their relatives/friends suddenly diagnosed with serious illness.Life nowadays is extremely fragile, and with the high medical cost, we really need to take good

Some months ago, with the temptation I got from Zohrah, I decided to buy two Oops packs-hand-dye silk flosses from Jo of Dinky Dyes. I can’t really tell what is wrong with the flosses as they are so silky soft and their colours are still so beautiful. Love them! Here are some photos to tempt you too :pRecently, Cross-Stitching.com are having some offer for overseas subscribers until Aug 30 at

I know I have neglected my blog. Too many things happen and too little time to write or maybe just simply being too lazy to post anything here… oh well…End May, my eight years old washing machine gave up working for me and I have to hunt for a new one desperately, as I can’t and don’t have the time to hand wash all my clothing. I got a Sanyo combo, and it just doesn’t like me. I spend so much

I was shopping at Tampines 1 with my family last week and got attracted by this little clock, which is actually a miniature sewing machine.I was amazed when I touch the wheel and the paddle. It really rolls and paddles! It looks so real to me.After a little bargain, I happily brought it home.

They are really nice to stitch and touch, not to mention their vibrant and beautiful colours.I saw from Linda's work using VC's floss and fall in love with the flow of its colour in a skein. Finally, I decided to get some and try them out myself. I bought the Detritus Bags

Just made this red juicy strawberry pincushion....I think it is pretty big for a pincushion, though the picture make it look small. (^_^)This design was taken from the book, Sew Pretty Homestyle*, which I had borrowed from the library recently. They used fabrics, and I changed it to felt once again...LOL...Anyway this is not going to stay with me for long. It will be going off to my partner soon.

I have been "studying" on the tutorial for this cute little fabric rabbit featured in one of my craft books collection for quite sometime.Over the weekend, I finally decided to give it a try.I made my little cutie using felt instead of fabrics and this is how it turns out:It has a little peg inside its body. When you press it body, the peg will open up in its fore legs, and it will be able to

Yippee...jumping with joy...I am really really glad that my little biscornu has finally made its way to Nela.

Got this funny joke from an email today, so thought of sharing it here :)For several years, a man was having an affair with an Italian woman.One night, she confided to him that she was pregnant. Not wanting to ruin his reputation or his marriage, he paid her a large sum of money if she would go to Italy to secretly have the child. If she stayed in Italy to raise the child, he would also provide

So first thing this morning before heading for work, I popped in to the post office and collected my gift.The parcel was from Amy. I was so anxious and opened it while I was waiting for the train to arrive. To my surprise (a beautiful surprise :D), Amy
