MJ's power

Wasn't really a big fans of Michael Jackson, but ever since his death, my house has been

filled with his songs, videos and even his dance moves (from my kids!)

Therefore, we need to treasure the people who are dearest to you when they are alive!

There's no point flipping over the old photo albums and watching the old videos when

he / she is no longer here!

Just watched the video clips from MJ's memorial, so touched by his daughter's Paris.

Undoubtedly, Michael Jackson was really a super star and his dance moves and songs

will be in many people's memories.

New headband pattern

Very happy with the new headband pattern that I bought, it's a wide headband so has a bit

of retro feel and I like my new look with these lovely accessories.

Thinking whether to add these to my store or not...

Japanese zakka series

Recently have been inspired a lot by reading Japanese craft books

and magazines. I specially like the way they photographed the items - simple

and yet lovely and romantic.

I've tried few attempts to have the photo shooting of my flexi frame pouches

and I quite like some of the photos as shown above.

Happy Pre-birthday for Marco!

Today we had an earlier "pre-celebration" for Marco's birthday because all the grandparents

won't be in town on his actual birthday, so here we go...

Blog of the month - uhandbag

Recently I have been looking around for more bag patterns / bag making kits just to upgrade

my skills because the bags making books selling here no longer can quench my thirst of

making new bags. I've purchased a few PDF sewing patterns from Etsy and I'm quite satisfied with them and I learnt new skills as well.

Last night I came across this Uhandbag store which sells some bag making kits / patterns and lots and lots of bag making supplies! THe blog owner also shares with people some tips and techniques of making bags. I just love it! And I'm also very tempted to buy one of the frame purse making kit and the super strong glue...hmmm....still considering...

Anyway, it's really a very resourceful place if you want to learn more about bag-making and I

hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I'm sure you will get lots of inspiration from there as well!

In fact this bag was made for my husband's cousin 21st year old
birthday. For some families, they make it a very big celebration on
this special day as it marks another stage in life.

Therefore, I specially made this young and cheerful bag as a gift for
her, I hope she will like it!
