Bows for charity

My friend called me 2 days ago and said her company is going to hold a charity event. She would like to order the hairclip bows from me to sell at the event.

Since it is a charity event, I charge lesser and hope to do my little part for charity.

Here's the 30 bows. All handsew.

Wishing her success in the charity event!

Tutu for sale

I got my cousin Chloe to pose for me in the tutu. She wore it immediately and danced and walked around in it! The tutu is for her so I didn't get it off her even when I left.

Back view.

It is made of soft tulle in 3 colors with elastic band. I am taking custom orders and selling it at S$38 each.

I want to thank Wee for ordering one all the way from Switzerland! Hope her daughter will love it!

Ethan came visiting

My parents came over yesterday and I took some photos of them with their grandson.

My Mum

My Dad

Ethan is their 1st grandson and since they stay together, he is showered with love every day. Lucky him!

Though this aunt does not see him everyday, he gets new photos taken every time he came visiting.

Does he look like my ducky?

No I don't! He protested!

He is such a cutie pie!

Scrapping LO - Serene & Ethan

Have you been to the newly renovated Papermarket at Raffles City? It's soooooo big!!! You should pop right down to Papermarket today!

I couldn't wait and was there on the opening day! Did a Make and Take of the button badge and Medrey took a picture. You can see my face on their blog! :p

Here's the close up of the button badge that I did. Lots of bling blings!

I felt guilty for neglecting my scrapbooking so did a LO today. This is for my sister, using Webster's Pages paper.

Must try to clear some scrapbooking stuffs to get ready for the new CHA items!

Tutu skirt

This is a custom order for a little princess. Made of soft tulle in beige, peach and pink. So pretty!

Here's a closer look. The red ribbon is made of satin. The waistband is elastic.

I am selling it at $38. Such soft tulle is not cheap and I was lucky to find these nice colors. I like it very much, even hubby said it is nice and doesn't look handmade.

Contact me for a custom order if you are interested!

Sew much fun

My friend, Jin took leave today and came to my house to do sewing together. So happy to have a like-minded friend to exchange ideas and techniques.

She got me to try sewing a zip and I made a pouch today!

I made a scrapbooking bag the other day. Papermarket is reopening at Raffles City tomorrow at a new location, B1-27. Perfect to bring it along for shopping!

The small flower fabric inside is one of my favourite. :)

My friend Estelle has been pestering me to make something for her. She said she wants a sunglass pouch so this is for her.

As I am experimenting with different designs and have limited fabric of the same pattern, I will not be making many of them for sale at the moment. But I have been receiving some requests for custom orders and I thank you for your interest! You can email to me at ohsinchan@gmail.com to discuss further.

Photoshoot of families

I have been taking photos of families recently.

This is a photoshoot of my ex-colleague Winnie with her husband and 2 lovely daughters.

This is my sister and her family.

And this is my uncle and his family.

These photos are taken at my house. My living room has been turned into a mini studio!

My nephew is almost 3 months old now. My sister is looking good but she's still complaining her face is fat!

My cousin Chloe had fun playing with my ducky. She is turning 2yrs old next month. See the magic wand she's holding? All girls like that! I think they feel like a princess when the wand is in their hand!

And introducing the latest addition to my family! My cousin gave birth to a baby boy last week. This is my nephew Tristen at 6 days old.

All these kids are keeping me busy! :)

More sewing

I have not been blogging!!! My Mac died on me again and had to be sent for repair. This time it's the motherboard problem and a new part was replaced.

Busy searching for jobs, going for interviews at agencies and some companies. Not much luck yet. Sigh!

Meanwhile I have been sewing!

This is a Japanese inspired bag. I love this light pink polka dots cotton linen. Got the lace from Japan last year.

A pocket tissue holder for my mum.

A hair scrungie.

Thanks for the response for the hair bows. Some of them are sold out already. I have limited fabrics for some of them so I can't make more. Do let me know if you are interested!

Take a Bow

I made some bow hairband for my sister and cousin last week.

My cousin with her bow clip.

My sister has a fetish for flowers and pink color.

I have some spare fabrics and made more bows!

I am selling the bow at S$3 each, inclusive of local postage. You can choose either a hairband, clip or pin (as a brooch) to go with it. Hope to earn some money to buy more fabrics and materials. Please support my sewing hobby! :)

A big Thank You to Mr Yang for being my 1st customer! I am sure his girlfriend will like it!

Long lost cross-stitch

I have a spare room which contains all my old stuffs. Stuffs brought over from my mum's place, stuffs I had accumulated since my childhood and youth. It is very difficult for me to throw away things so they just lay in that room and collect dust.

I tried to tidy part of that room today and came across my cross-stitch! I am sure some crafters are like me who picked up cross-stitch previously. I did so many Precious Moments, Pooh Bear and Mickey Mouse cross-stitch and specially did some for my ex-colleagues and friends. Those were the days!

I spent quite long to finish this one, "Our Friendship is Soda-licious". The figurine is already retired.

This is one of my favourite, "Love One Another".

There are others, some are left uncompleted. Now that I found them, what should I do with them???
