Flower Power

I have gone crazy over flowers these days...fabric flowers & felt flowers that is. Tea Rose Home and Craftiness is not Optional have some really awesome tutorials on fabric & felt flowers. Below are some that i have made.

Fabric flowers that most probably will end up as my hair band.

 A flower brooch for my daughter.

 Some felt flowers - the top Red Peony Flower is from yoonie-at-home

Fabric flower headbands for my daughters.

Mickey Mouse T-shirt Applique

Was blog walking and saw a Mickey & Minnie Onesies on Stubbornly Crafty. It was so cute that i have to make one for my little Jay. Isn't she adorable? She posed happily too. =)

There are a lots of things that can be done with the Mickey template - bags, brooch, hair pins, tags.
I'll be getting busy soon.

P/S: Daffodil Design had some really cute applique pattern too!

Bus Ride

My gals have not been for a bus ride before, so we planned to do it during the holiday. Well, as we know they will get restless after some time, we just went for a short ride to one of the shopping malls nearby. Little Jay was bored at first but after some time she got to her usual self and started to climb around. Big Sis Ray on the other hand was enjoying the view and keep on asking us to get down at every stop! =)

We managed to snap some photos at the mall :D

alphabet magnets

ABCDEFG.... XYZ
Made these felt alphabet magnets for my 2 year old. Thought it would be fun for her to learn alphabets. Well, they end up scattered everywhere... and mommy busy searching high & low to keep track of all 26 alphabets !

Owl Couple Plush

I've seen loads of owl plushie on the web from different crafters and they are so cute & adorable ! Who wouldn't love them ?

Initially, i thought of making one but after going through my stash of fabrics, i make two - a couple owl... =) i think they are a sweet birdie couple... The fabric set was bought about a year ago..yup, i had this little craze for fabric then (now too) even though i don't really know how to sew. So i eventually bought quite some fabrics (small set pieces) and kept them .... till i figure out someday what to do with them. Finally, i'm sewing something out of my stash.. yippie!

Cameron Highlands Trip

Well, this post should be here 2 months back, but ... ( let's not go to the excuses part )
I brought my daughters to Cameron Highlands for a 2 day 1 night trip with my mom, sis & cousins. Since the weather is quite cold, I decided to sew a cozy scarf and hat for my two babes..hehe :)

This is what i bought from Daiso (i love that shop so much that being in there just make me feel happy) - Puffy Pants & Hand Warmer. I bought 2 sets of puffy hand warmer and a pair of puffy pants. For the scarf, all you need to do is sew the ends together so you'll get a scarf that is just nice for a toddler and baby. While for the hat, i cut the puffy pants in half and sew a somewhat curve line (as indicated by the Purple color dotted line) both sides and you'll get 2 hats. The puffy materials is very stretchable and soft and the best thing is it helps to hide all the imperfections of my sewing (hehe =P ) I also bought a bunny applique for the scarf and added flower to the hat. That's all, isn't it simple.


Check out the photos below of my daughters wearing the cozy scarf & hat. (I apologized for the image quality..it's hard taking picture of them cause they are constantly moving around.)

Passion Fruit

Yeay! we've got a fruit! =)  My mum planted this passion fruit tree a year ago and we were all waiting anxiously for it to bear fruits. She got the sapling from my aunt and her tree was bearing so much fruits. We waited and waited and waited but no fruit was found, guess we don't have 'green fingers' after all. It came as a surprise to us as we were clearing away the dried leaves, we found this fruit hidden by the leaves! Finally, we saw the tree bearing fruit.

Now, there are many flowers blooming around...hoping to get some bees and more passion fruits please. =)
