imaginary wrapping paper 3

my 3rd attempt...

4th attempt...

for those who r interested in participating frinton press' wrapping paper project, it's due end of this month! hurry! it's great fun!! :))

DIY tote bags - 2nd attempt!

a custom "order" i got from a frd who fancies nothing but bunnies! (her favourite is miffy, but that's copyrighted... so i need to try something else!)

with a new black fabric pen from muji - it is already much easier to draw on the cloth. but the red pen...um.. still need to figure that out. hope she won't mind n will actually use it :(

outlining with black on bag...

the final product:

initial "mock up" using paint...

now that i look at it again, seems like making it all B&W may be better....oh well it's a little too late to undo it

leftovers

or remainders?

~spring song~

a typical spring shd hv birds singing (or sometimes napping) n flowers blossoming!

but my current one is high at 29 degrees sweating hot today and high at 19 degrees freezing myself in the office tomorrow... ~_~ *dislike*

thus, this post trying to make it all joyful :)

in luv with

tea related things! had always luved drinking tea - chinese tea, japanese tea, english tea, you name it. perhaps it's a family thing i got from my mom, n now i start getting obsessed with cups too!

cups from whittard (my new favourite store!)

all of them too cute, too heavy, couldn't carry them home...so i just bought this instead:

and then my other favorite cup that i brought home:

n tea leaves that goes with everything:

separate from all these, this is a tea house i bought way back from japan, at some random store for 100yen, which about 3 blocks from that shop i saw it's selling at 700yen :O and finally in london last week, they're selling it at 5pounds :O

and this is not entirely tea-related, but want to share this extremely cute pot that i bought from hungary years ago...it has 6 matching cups too! tooo cute!

work in progress

guess wut i'm trying to make? :)

n er, no, not so obvious that it's a shower cap, guess again!

will reveal once done! hopefully by next wk :D

can't find my crochet hook :(

but found these old photos instead...(i had a pretty bad camera back X years ago!)

these bunnies were for my parents' 25th wedding anniversary, if i rmb correctly the year :)

and then i found some random cloth i got from japan which i need to assign some purpose to (perhaps a teddy bear or bunny? if it's not too hard to do..hehe).....

suddenly wants to try all the DIY's for making dollies so badly! next weekend, i must pay a visit to get all necessary tools together!!
