Piggy Calendar



It's never easy to organise all the photos on computer when you have got thousands of them! I finally managed to set up a network for the computers at home so that I can now easily file/organise the photos on my old laptop by using the "new" desktop.

While I was doing this, I came across many photos of items I made before which I almost forgot (or actually have forgotten!!) Here's a calendar I made for my ex-bf probably 8 years ago. The piggys could be taken off the calendar and used as decoration. I remember I made a portrait one with pandas for a friend as well.

Digital photos are good. They always look as good as new but I think it also surprises you how time goes so quickly when you think hard to realise when the photos were taken.

Meow~~



My hubby and I were really struggling to think of anything to get for his aunt for christmas. One day, I was browsing on internet and saw a festive cat shaped cushion which I thought it would be a good idea. Therefore I made a proposal to my hubby and it was an instant agreement.

I started of drawin the pattern based on an image I found on internet. The finished product has turned out surprisingly well.

Christmas Card Collection 2007





It was all an accident that this felt brooch was made. I was just messing around and cut a flower shape off the red felt. All of sudden I thought it would be a good idea to make a poinsettias brooch as a card topper.

I had the brooch pinned into a piece of fun foam and stuck it onto the card so the brooch could be taken off after. This card went to my parents-in-law.

Don't think I did very well with this card. The idea was a cat sitting on the window sill looking out. I didn't quite demonstrate it but I was proud of how the cat turned out. This went to my hubby's aunt.

Stamping on Fimo clay and dusted with pearlescent powder. This went to my brother-in-law.

One day all of sudden I remeber that I used shrink plastic when I was a small kid so I was then very keen on getting my hands on it again. Here I made a use of it to create some "pendants" by stamping the motifs on. This went to my hubby.

Little Bears



It must have been 7 years ago when I made this for a friend as a new year gift. I only made a blue one initially but then my friend said he was a bit lonely so I made a pink one for her as well. When it came to my friend's birthday, I made a little birthday cake to go with them.

Don't they look sweet?
