I actually made these totebags last month but only got to take pictures today and have uploaded them in my lilshop. There’s only one each and up for grab! Dunno when will I be making more

I am trying to make more things for my lilshop, therefore created these keychain dollies. They are very cheap: RM3.50 each (excluding shipping). Have made two for a start: Bella (left) and Amy. Will be in lilshop in no time. {Update: sold to Nessa and have been taken out from lilshop!}

Mariuca is hosting her mug contest and I think it’s also time for me to announce my 5th giveaways! I have a tote, a blank book and a notepad (all handmade by me) to give away! All items are carefully made out of raw materials and carefully assembled/decorated to perfection!

Unlike other giveaways that I’ve hosted before, this time I’d like to ask you to do a very simple task for me. I hope this is not too much to ask but if you’re willing to vote for my Dont Panic Momiji Dolls, you’ll be in the running to win this set of handmade items.

The voting session has begun and with your votes, hopefully I can qualify to be judged. Voting ends after 11:59pm 22 Mar 2008 (GMT).

I’ve made an attempt to make my own sketchbook using traditional sewing method. Boy! It was sure hard! (I’ve spend approx. 5 hours doing just this!) After much frustration (though it won’t stop me from perfecting the skill), I resolved to a simpler method by gluing the spine of the sketchbook (perfect binding). It took me only half an hour to finish. I love the look of it! And the best thing is, I got to print my own illo as the cover!

Yay! My very own handbound sketchbook!

As for this one, I used my old stock of premade notepads and
made the covers out of greyboard and yards. Lined the inside
with scrapbook papers.

I feel that there are so many things to learn yet so little time.

I actually finished this 2 days ago but only got time to take photos today and got them listed in etsy.

*edited – I took this one out from Etsy, check this post for further info.

While I was at it, I took photos of my favourite red yarn, and made these:

Pupu who bought my first roll-up organiser (Thank yo so much dear!) wanted me to construct a watercolor organiser for her. I came up with this this morning and finished sewing around 3pm!

* Pupu, it’s listed in etsy!

I listed this organiser in my Etsy store.

Finally made a tote for mom! She loves the kemuncup (lovegrass) and the dragonfly.

I’ve been busy! I’ve made two organisers: one for moleskine and the other one pen/pencils organiser. I’ve listed them both in my etsy store, yay!

Moleskine Sketchbook Organiser (SOLD!)

This moleskine organiser has 9 pockets – 7 for pen/pencils, 1 for moleskine sketchbook and 1 for 6″ ruler. Size is about 18″ x 9″. It is made of cotton fabric. It folds up and closes with a black rubber band.

Roll-up Organiser (SOLD!)

This roll-up organiser has 10 pockets – 9 for pens/pencils + 1 for 6″ ruler. Size is about 12″ x 7″. It is also made of cotton fabric. It rolls up and closes with a ribbon.

I am so proud of myself! I just learned knitting few days ago and almost gave up when I couldn’t even cast and stitch the first row! But luckily, my son told me, ” try again and again until you get it.” I finally got it after trying more than 20 times. Thank you baby, you’re my motivator!

Here’s the result:

I made the button out of clay and colored it using acrylic paint!
