Happy Teacher's Day!

Things hadn't been as smooth as planned lately that instead of making some book covers for Vance's teachers as planned few months ago, I managed to stitch these cute little apples and personalized with the teachers' names and turn them into buttons.Together, I made some blueberry muffins on teacher's day yesterday. Though these are just inexpensive stuffs, but they are made with lots of love and appreciation for the teachers. Hope they like it.


Cross-stitch buttons.

Personalised Pillow Cases & New 100% Cotton Pillows

It's Kaely's pillow. Though the pic is not very clear, in real, its really nice.
A closer look at the name.

This is for custom made & personalised for Kenneth.
A closer look at the name embroidery.

I received this special order from a doting grandmother. Kenneth & Kaely are brother & sister. They are young toddler, I can't remember the exact age. So I decided that the pillowcases should stay simple, no ribbons, buttons or whatever and the colours should be bright with cheerful, cute prints. I used only 100% Japanese cotton fabric. for the pillow cases. Made the new pillows from clean, high quality new cotton pillow stuffing.

Custom Made For Helen L.

Custom made reversible, personalized tote bag (A4 size), front view.


Reversed side with a big pocket.


As usual, I like to add some detail to the finished bag. Isn't the yoyo made with the inner polka dot fabric sweet?

I have just started to blog about what I cook & bake recently. This handmade blogs are mainly some collections of the bags and stuffs that I made & sell before. So it never occured to me to write anything about it. I have no time too. Its really not easy to multi-task. If I can cook & bake & write, honestly,  I wouldn't be able to sew and blog about it. Today, I prepare just a very simple meal of chicken brown rice porridge for lunch and managed to sew this tote bag up in the afternoon.

Let's hope I shall be able to produce more unique & special bags in future.
