A quick hello (^u^)

Hello there! Just want to drop by and let you know that I got something delicous in store. Hint hint - itchy bitsy bites =) Will be sharing it here soon, stay tune ~

Meanwhile, check out my terrarium! So cute no?! So easy to make and a great gift to give to your favorite co-worker, friend, neighbor, hair stylist or to whom you adore ♥

I got the glass vessel here~

My 1st pair of baby shoes ~ 阿Vi學做鞋

100% organically made in my sewing studio; a pair of baby shoes made for a friend's daughter - baby Charene (isn't this a beautiful name?). It is made of 100% cotton and linen with ultimate comfort in mind. I was aiming for a French country-inspired look. Do you think I have achieved it?

This was supposed to be done before Charene is born but I didn’t finish it after she celebrated her 100 days on earth. You see I was distracted by other projects – too many things on hand and too little time! It is better late than never - don’t you agree with me =)

Have a wonderful weekend! I sure will as I’ll be leaving town for a couple of days ^^




這是送給一個叫Charene的漂亮寶寶的禮物。衣服縫了不少﹐可這還是我這一次做的鞋子﹐而且還那麼迷你的呢﹗鞋子完成的那一剎﹐真的超有成就感的﹗鞋子走的是法式田園風﹐由100%純棉及亞麻布縫製而成﹐想說除了吸汗又舒服外也可以減低由布料引起的過敏。我還挺滿意這次的成品的﹐你覺得呢?

I FELT for the love of sweets ~ 朝著手作達人之路邁進

I love Japanese craft books – the cutesy styling, the clear step by step photo instruction, unique projects, the pattern booklet that comes with the book (not always), and the beautiful photos - no wonder these books are so celebrated!

Lately, I am have been bitten by the craft bug and am obsess with making pastries with felt fabric! Though it is tedious work but the end result is so rewarding! It is just the cutest plus it makes great present too! Now, I can ship my “pastries” worldwide =)

不得不說我非常喜歡日本的手作雜貨書。除了照片漂亮﹐作品出色可愛い外﹐做法清楚易明﹐又附有剪裁圖樣﹐難怪它們那麼受手作達人的歡迎﹗看到她及她的手作﹐忍不住也要湊熱鬧變身手作達人。最近除了刺繡就最哈不織布藝。在Michael’s買的不織布方塊色彩鮮艷﹐價錢便宜﹐又用途廣泛﹐非常好用喔。而用不織布製作出的各種蛋糕點心更是有趣又漂亮。雖然縫製的過程花時間，但看到美美的成品時，就會有一股滿足的開心。最重要的是現在我可以將蛋糕寄給遠方的朋友﹐他們總是抱怨說不知何時才能品嘗到我的甜點。雖然蛋糕不能吃﹐可是所費的時間及心血是同等的 =) 你看﹐是不是很精緻呀?









Have you ever wonder what you can do with scrapes of fabrics? I like to use them to make pincushions! As for materials for pincushion, possibilities are endless! I made them out of mini jam jar, bottle cap, cork, small glass and etc. Aren’t these lovely?

我有收集縫製衣服剩下的碎布的習慣。這些碎布的用途很多﹐只需利用基本的縫法、繡法，又或配不同的布料，就可製作出很多獨特的生活小物。我最喜歡利用這些布料做針包﹐而做針包的素材可多囉 - 迷你果醬罐﹐瓶蓋﹐杯子﹐總之差不多中空的容器都行。這些有夠可愛是不?





Beside bitten by the craft bug, I also caught the vintage fever. I have been roaming Antique stores and found many great things. Other than picking up bakewares and silvers, I can’t help myself from purchasing vintage wooden spools, laces, linen, buttons, and the list goes on. I have been eyeing this cute Victorian era sewing machine and am just looking for reasons to justify the splurge ^^

我有說過我很愛往古董店挖寶嗎? 挖到很多好東西說。最得意是找到很多古董烤模﹐蕾絲﹐食用銀器﹐及造型獨特的茶杯等。除了這些﹐我還忍不住狂買古董木制的線軸﹐喜歡充滿懷舊風的小東西﹐覺得很有味道。而最近看上了一台出自維多利亞年代的縫紉機﹐現在很努力的在說服自己敗下去。。。真的好想要。。。
