The BOX

OHAI! xD

It was raining hard and I can't go out, can't sew, can't even use the PC...

So I decided to take out my box. It's been a long time since I last touched this thing. 

TADAAA! (^w^)

This is where I keep my knitting and crocheting stuffs. Oooh! I didn't realized that I missed them until that familiar smell emerged when I took off the lid... Smells like new fabric!~

Untouched knitting needles

 These were gifts from my generous mom. I haven't had the time to use them since I started sewing... :(

I wish I got a lot of time in my hands.

some yarns

and more...

and some more over here... xDDD

~♥~

I am currently working on this yarn in my rectangular knitting loom. I want to make a scarf out of this fab yarn. :)

Thrift store find ^^

some more unfinished project... 

I really wish I could go back to my crafts again... I missed those times when I still have time for everything. The more the kids grow, the more I am occupied. 

Old project of mine ♥

The last photo was taken some years ago. It was a project that I finished in just a few hours. *sighhh~ 

I'll try to dig up the pattern of this one and I'll re-make this bag. 

I'll see you around! ♥

Something for Roca...

Few weeks ago, my sister asked me to help her make a dress for her Shih-Tzu pup, Roca. Though, I doubted her patience, I tried teaching her some basics of sewing. But I was right about her patience. *Hahaha 

Of course we cannot start a project without a pattern. So, I tried to figure out how to make one after taking some of Roca's body measurements. Good thing, I have a book about scrap projects  to make and there was a pattern for a dog's dress.  Although, what we have in mind was kinda different from the pattern shown in the book, I was able to get the whole idea! Yey!~

And here's how it turned out...

She wanted some Loli-ish dress... xD

Not bad, eh? And it's really easy! The fabric were left overs and from my niece's old shirt. I might make some more... Good luck to me! I need more time in my hands. Too many projects to finish... @__@

Oh, well... I hope you like it!~

Crafting the hours away...

Rainy days and it's time for some craft... 

They remind of something...

xD

My son requested for this... PATAPOOON!~ xD

~♥~

I'm wishing that the sun will shine tomorrow... By then, I can go back to sewing... 

I'm missing my secret lover already - my sewing machine! ^_^ ♥

Happy weekend, by the way! :)

Impulsive Me

My lack of posts these past few weeks (or months?), I can say, should be blamed on my frequent mood swings. And since I wanted sooo much to avoid posting too many negative things on this blog, I chose to stay quiet for quite some time. I'm just glad I did because I was able to spend more time learning new things, spending quality time with my family and good friends, shopping (big smile!), sewing and more sewing. The only downside of this - my pocket is always drained!~ xD 

Shopping has drained me the most! Whenever and wherever I can, I buy small things as a souvenir. It could be old or new. BUT, I try my best not exceed my limit. Of course, it would be inconsiderate of me if I would spend more than I could afford or earn. It's just that sometimes, my fascination for tiny things lead me to impulse buying. I always have this "thing" for tiny tea sets, notebooks or journals, brown papers, anything made of porcelain or ceramic, wood, wicker, cutesy sticky notes and fabric. Good thing, I find them reasonably priced and I still manage not to overspend. :)

Now, I'm beginning to think hard if I just like collecting these things or am I just hoarding??? Oh well! 

Some notebooks... Super love the big one!

Here's how it looks inside. The pages! Oh, the pages!  :)

Others... :) love the black one!

Dress form accessory holder, a tiny shelf(?), small boxes...

all these came from Papemelroti!~ xD

Wind chime - still kept hidden in my box... Also from Papemelroti~

Stickiees!~ ♥

Tea sets from my favorite thrift shops. 

Tiny ceramic watering can *nyuuuu!~

Ceramic eggs and wicker glass holder

These are just some of the stuffs that I have been hiding in my box of silly treasures. Sometimes, the question "What are you gonna do with them?" really annoys me. Because I, myself don't really know! I am saving them because hubby and I are planning the construction of new room and he promised to give me my own corner for my crafts and my trinkets. Yay!~ =^_^= Can't wait! 

I swear, as soon as that room is done, I'll decorate it and take lots of pictures and share all of them here! Too bad, it'll take a loooooong time... We shall see...

Ciao! ♥

NOTE: Papemelroti website here. Lots and lots of nice, vintage-y, Eco-friendly stuffs! That's why I like them soo much! ♥
