Sew!

After waiting for more than 2 weeks, my book finally arrived in the mail! :)

Sew! by Cath Kidston

Isn't the book pretty? It includes material for you to sew the bag on the cover. Cool! i simply lurve Cath Kidston fabrics. Those antique cottage roses are so English!

Now i really must recommend The Book Depository for all those who live outside the UK and wishes a cheaper alternative to buy books. Free shipping worldwide! Now isn't that great? Hearts Book Depository! Though i wish the postman would come by earlier.

Thank You

There was a knock on the door this afternoon. "Postman", the voice shouted. i opened the door and to my surprise, there was a letter for me! A "Thank You" card from YT and YZ!! i hope i had "opened" the card correctly...

This is what i saw when i opened the envelope...

Front view...

Back view...

After cracking my brains for a while... i think this is what it is supposed to look like! Isn't it sweet? :)

Back to Work

SP's a good worker today. Made a chain for mummy's reading glasses (though that was long overdue! :p)


Presents for JL's girls, YT and YZ. Hope they like it. Would be mailing it first thing in the morning! They are the same cos i dunno if they would "fight" if one has something different.


Not forgetting JL's present too. Now this is also long overdue! hee.. but i just have to make her something from this fabric. This reminds me of the porcupine that was our Sec 3 mascot. Those were the days... Glad that i've found JL am i!

Misunderstood

In support of International Childhood Cancer day on 15 Feb, Ivory By SP had wanted to spread some love and decided to donate all proceeds between 9 - 23 Feb towards the Singapore Children Cancer Foundation. Hence, items in the shoppe are tagged PIF (Pay It Forward). PIF is supposed to be a gesture of kindness and giving but it was misinterpreted to be free by a fellow blogger and etsy user. Kinda sad that good intentions get misunderstood.

Ivory Earrings

Well.. I did mention that i still have LOTS of beading supplies. I just made these! i forgot how fast these were to make as compared to sewing. i take ages to choose my fabrics, placement, cutting it before finally putting it together. Cos once i snip the fabric, there's no turning back! With beading, at least i could still recover the beads if i didn't like the way it turned out. I still need time for beading... Especially colour coordination and selection.. i'm really bad with colours. :p

Happy Lunar New Year

It's the year of the Ox. Wishing all Chinese a Happy Lunar "Niu" (cow in Chinese) Year!

It's customary to spring clean the house in preparation for the Chinese New Year and that's what i've been doing since the start of the month. i unearthed PLENTY of crafting stuff. Gosh! Lots of beading supplies, yarn and fabrics. i should really destash one of these days. Keep a look out for it in the shop!

Happy 2009

Wishing everyone a year full of joy, fun, laughter and love in the year ahead!

Merry Christmas!

SP's been tied up by the hectic day job but she's not resting! The elf's been busy in the studio making presents for family and friends.

Completed this pen cozy for XX. It's made to order. Hope she likes it!

Finally gave SH his royalties. A cardholder and a phone/ipod cozy. If it looks similar to something i've made before, well... it's because i'm really short of gift ideas for guys... Let me know if you have any suggestions! :)

Made this reversible bag for my aunt. The exterior supposed to be all ivory and the inside's supposed to be all light maroon. In my haste, i had gotten one of the handles "wrong". i thought it turned out quite well too. But corrected it in the end cos i don't know how my 70-yr old aunt would react.

Spread a Little Love

Amidst the uncertainty of the economy.. In this season of giving and sharing, 100% of the proceeds (not including shipping) from the shoppe from now till end Dec 08 will be going to Children's Cancer Foundation! Spread the LOVE! :-)

First sale

i can't tell you how excited i am that Winkie Owl's going to a new home! (^^,)v
