Matcha Tea W.I.P And A Sunny Stroll in Flora Garden

Hello lovelies, how have you all been doing lately? A week has passed by and my little Etsy shop is up and running proudly thanks to you all! I have to admit that it was quite scary and intimidating at first! I was screaming with joy after my first customer popped by and bought some of my patterns! Yes.. I was that crazy! I had to triple check my orders making sure my customers had their PDFs after their purchase! And... did I mentioned I was glued to my phone waiting for my first review? *face palm* 

So far, I'm really enjoying this journey and still so excited that this all is happening. It might not be a big deal to others.. But for me..It's a milestone! And so so happy that some of you are in the same exciting ride with me!

I marked my calendar until December that I will be doing at least 1-2 patterns a month and a free monthly pattern to keep the flow..well, flowing. I'm still trying to fit myself into my new lifestyle so I might have to do a bit of plan adjustments if I can't meet up with this new proposal. But I'll try my best to keep things fresh!

I've finished this lovely pattern yesterday so right now I'm doing some touch ups on the tutorial. I take my pictures of the finished products only with natural light... But today, I came home pretty late and lost most of the bright light. So I guess I'll have to take the shots tomorrow.  I've always wanted to do a matcha tea pattern ☕... and here it is! This PDF will consist of 2 patterns... well, the other pattern you guys have to wait to find out what it is on my next post 🍭

A few post ago I mentioned that I would share photos of some of my favorite places to go in Macao. And some of these places I love exploring is the beautiful Flora Garden. I remember going through this garden when I was a little girl and I'm so happy my little one got the chance to experience it as well. 

Flora Garden is a huge garden. Lots of activities to do for those who love spending time outdoors with nature. There are playgrounds around the garden, outdoor fitness equipment along side the jogging tracks, BBQ pits and lots of hidden walking trails through the garden. It's a home of exotic birds, turtles, monkeys and even bears!  It's also a place of underground tunnels for the military back in the days, as well as canons on some of the gardens main points. 

On the highest peak of Flora Garden is the infamous historic Light House of Guia. You can walk your way up the hill If you love going up stairs in the blazing heat or covering yourself with sweat, don't get me wrong, the view is really nice and the walk is lovely, but for those with little ones and not fantastically fit ( like me) can easily take a short cut by taking the Guia Cable Car for a small fee (I tried walking my way up once and hardly made it halfway.. I tried)

Up the hill you'll find the light house and a chapel with some historic artifacts and information. Take your time reading them to know a little about their history... It was impossible for me as my little monkey was jumping all around the place.

Enjoy the beautiful city surrounding it as well... It's kinda funny knowing that there was sea where those buildings are standing now.

Amazing how active she is despite the unbearable heat!

Finishing our stroll walking through the garden's stone path all the way down the hill. It's truly a serenity just listening to the birds and the soft brushing sound of the leaves. A great way to unplug yourself from the hectic city.

I'll try to remind myself to bring along my camera more often to capture more of these exciting moments. So till next my lovely friends!

Etsy Shop Finally Launched!

It's a celebration week for me! After a year of doubts and fear of failure, I've finally had the courage to make another of my biggest dreams come true! To finally open my Etsy Pattern Shop! It took me lots of thinking and guts and, like I said, one year ++ to make this happen. The thought of having an official online shop scared me to death, specially being in such grand and reputable site like Etsy with thousand of talented crafters and artists out there. But here I am...I made it and so I'm ready to discover where does this new chapter of Crafters Boutique will lead me!

 Year 2013 to 2015 was quite a fun period for me. First, the launch of this little business of mine and , second, to be able to sell my felt works throughout Singapore and Macao. It created a bridge to so many opportunities and beginnings of new friendships that I will always treasure. But selling my finished works wasn't quite fulfilling for me. It did brought me lots of joy sewing all those custom name banners for all my customers and to be able to bring a smile on their faces, the feeling is  just priceless! The thought of doing my very own patterns of drawings that were hidden somewhere in my sketch book was constantly haunting my mind ( in a good way!)... So, I  have to thank 2016 for giving me that push to take action because If I weren't to move country this year, I believe I would still be stuck with custom orders because I seem to not know when I should stop hehehe...

This Fruit Babies pattern finally came to life after its sketch was forgotten somewhere in my craft room. Finding it was a friendly reminder that this should be one of my first patterns that I should work on... And I'm pleased on how it turned out <3

 And why sugar cookies? Well...because they're yummy and cute!!

A little lucky Shamrock ornament won't hurt either.

My patterns are finally available at Crafters Boutique DIY Etsy Shop.

Thank you to those who have viewed, favorited, purchased, reviewed and supported! You guys are awesome!

W.I.P Cupcakes

Hello my lovelies! How have you all been lately?

It's good to be back on track now that my little tiny temporary room has a little bit of space for all my messy crafts! And so glad that the weather is cooperating by giving me decent natural light during the day too! Had a productive week and looking forward for more busy days for me!

On my desk right now are these super cute cupcakes that I'm excited to see it completed. What you guys think? Do you want to see it as a pattern? Well, good news! These cuties will be available soon for purchase in my upcoming Etsy shop that will be launch in the near future! SURPRISE!! Yes, I'm currently working on lots and lots of super cute patterns for you all to make! 

I don't know, but there's something about cupcakes that never makes me tired of making them! What can simply go wrong with cupcakes?

In love with my new seed beads that are were a crazy bargain! Aren't the colors pretty?! They make me so happy! These are the perks of living right next to China!

So now I'm off to my little craft corner to finish this cutie pattern and at the same time I'm wishing that your weekday is as colorful as these beautiful beads and cupcakes!

Hello From My New ( temporary) Home!

Hello Sweeties! I am extremely sorry for being away for such tremendous time without saying a word! Funny... I had the thought of going with the idea of posting every week to keep this blog consistent.. But I guess it's not happening for now and I'm so sorry!

Well, I believe some of you have noticed that I have stopped taking orders ( also stated a few blog entries ago)  for name banners/garlands due that I will be moving with my family to another country. So, I would like to make it official that I am currently living in Macao...My home country! It's been a month now and the family and cats are all settled well despite falling ill once in awhile because of the humidity and changes of weather ( where's my hot Singapore weather!)! I am living with my father until, me and my family, move out to our forever home ( can't wait!).

So because I am living temporarily with my father and staying in a small room, I am separated from my beloved craft materials :(...well not entirely... I have my felts, threads and beads with me so that I can keep myself occupied and finally working on my future projects that I am so excited to announce soon! It's going to be so much fun for you guys and I'm enjoying every moment doing this for you all!

Here's a small little sneak peek on what I'm currently working on!

In the next post, I'll be sharing with you all about my little tiny country, Macao! When the weather allows it, I'll take some time and snap some of my favorite places to go...and yes, some of them are craft related!

'Till then!

WIP on Mikyla's garland...

Hello lovelies!
On my desk at the moment I have the lovely Mikyla's garland to-be. All letters are all sewn up and by tomorrow I should be working on the main decorations. But for now...I'll go ahead and enjoy this beautiful Sunday with my loved ones and enjoy it while the sun is out!

What are you babes up too on Sunday?

Rainbow Garland

Thank you, Sanrio, for this lovely custom order that I had so much fun doing. I'm so happy that you and your husband approved it!

I will soon head off to the post office to mail this lovely out and as soon as I come back, I will be working on my last order of the year. It's a bittersweet moment for me.. I'm happy to be able to grow and expand to other exciting projects that will require my full time but sad that I will be working on my LAST garland, an adventure that helped my business grow, skillfully and emotionally. 

But for now, let's enjoy every minute left with my lovely banners and garlands before I embark to a new adventure!

So here It is, a colorful and cheerful garland with all Sanrio's and her husband's favorite things in life!

Hope you all are doing well! Wishing you all a lovely Wednesday <3
