"Miau Miau" The Rag Doll

So yesterday I was browsing through Pinterest for some machine sewing inspiration and I came across beautiful rag dolls that immediately caught my attention. I needed to make one so badly! Oh my, the design selection was endless! That's the problem with Pinterest, It's just so addictive that the next thing you see yourself doing is just sit on the sofa for hours and forget your household chorus. My inspiration level was shooting through the roof yesterday and the need to make one simple doll was extremely urgent that I forgot to make myself lunch! 

I had all the materials needed...so off I went drifting my way to the sewing machine. I designed my first rag doll ever and It took my almost the whole day just sewing it! But I'm feeling pretty good with the end result! Well, not the design I had in mind but my daughter loved it! Oh, did my mention that the main fabric of this doll was my leftover curtain from Ikea? Hooray for fabric leftovers! 

She was thrilled when she saw the finished doll! She even slept with it! Oh and Miau Miau was the name she came up with! <3

Now that I have a bit of rag-doll-making-basics, I feel inspired to do my next one but this time an improved design. I'll add different fabrics and maybe I'll add some cute little summer dresses! I can't wait to get started!

W.I.P Jarvis's Teddy Garland

After weeks of preparations for the craft fair, I'm finally back working on my name garlands. Here's a little peek on what's happening behind the scenes with Jarvis's soon-to-be garland <3

What are your plans for the week?

Wishing you all a wonderful and productive week!

I Survived My First Craft Fair!

Many of you know that yesterday I joined my very first craft fair. Wanted to say thank you to a lovely artisan friend, Irene Koh from SoulCraft for inviting me to join her and a big thank you to Artisan Market for allowing it to happen! I'm so happy to be accepted to join this fair.

Yesterday was definitely a fun day but I have to admit that I got quite overwhelmed before the Big Day. What should I prepare? What items should I display? How am I going to design my booth? It was really a nerve wrecking experience to deal with in such a very short period of time. But I'm so thankful it all went wonderfully well, thanks to my lovely husband who helped me to the preps for the booth. Oh, without his carpentry and DIY skills I wouldn't have survived! Thank you Darling!

Looking back at the whole experience, I must say that all the worries and countless hours of working was all worth it! Maybe I would have done some things differently but I would definitely join another craft fair again if given me a chance!

The best part about that day was not about how much or how many items I would sell at the end of the day (crazy right?), instead, I was looking forward for the feeling of what was like joining a craft fair. I was seeking for the excitement and for the experience because, in case you don't know, joining a craft fair was a "to-do" in my life bucket list. And I'm so blessed it finally happened! Words can't explain what an accomplishment it was for me! I met awesome and talented artisans at the fair in which I was so grateful to have made friends with! Thank you all for the lovely environment you all created!

Ok, so everything went pretty well....exceeeeeept (there's always something bad right?) I FORGOT MY CAMERA! How silly of me not bringing the most essential tool ever! Yes, I did bring my phone but the most silliest part was that, because of the excitement, I didn't take that much pictures like I should have! I'm a disaster. Well, I took some...snatching pics of people and their booth but I wanted more! And I was imagining taking awesome and good quality photos with my camera to show you all what a great day it was. Anyways, here's one taking with my phone!

Here's Liz B , Gladys from Hangmade by Gladys and Irene Koh from Soul Craft!

Thank you all once again! Thank you Family, Friends and other vendors for making this fair so fun! And thank you to our lovely shoppers for buying Handmade <3 Without your wonderful support, I wouldn't be here running my little business!

Yarn Wreaths - Cozy Up Your Little Home

I strongly agree when there is a touch of 'handmade' at home, It instantly feels warm welcoming and cozy. A handmade item is just so much more meaningful...there's the effort, the care and, importantly, the love. Agree?

And I find yarn wreaths to capture that goodness of the 'handmade' meaning. They're cozy, they're so welcoming, they're just perfect to add the 'home' feeling to any home. And I simply love them...

Here's my little cheeky monkey having fun with my wreaths.. Oh my she couldn't stop giggling!

I know when people see wreaths, they instantly think of hanging them straight on the door. But you can display them in different ways and still feel It's warmth <3

This mini easel stand was $1.74 at Art Friend.

 Here she is again! Hope nothing is damaged until the fair on Sunday!

Wishing you all a blessed day, 

O.C.D - Obsessive Cupcake Disorder

Ugh.... Aren't this freakin' cute? Making these little keychains are really an obsession.. I mean, you can't really get enough of them. The color choices, the accessories is just limitless of what you can put on them. I stopped at twelve but if I had more time believe me I would have done more and non stop! They're extremely easy to do so If you would love to make some for yourself, please go ahead to this amazing artist that I truly get inspired from -> Erica Catarina. Here's the cupcake tutorial and pattern here. Go on..make some cupcakes now!

 Oh my...which is your favorite?!
