So coincident!

My friend helped to return my happy elephant yesterday, and Felissimo offered an extra material for $20 as a compliment.  Here is the extra material....



When my friend returned the material to me, I found I have the same piece of cloth at home.    (why i need to spend $ on same cloth?!)  What's more, the pack didnt come with a long needle (which was what i really looked for!)  Though I used to have a long needle from class, it was grabbed by my colleague (and I suppose she will not return to me la)...  I feel a bit disppointed! -_-



But then I found a nice leopard print cloth while we were shopping.  The cloth is a bit thick (could be better to do 口金).  But I think it is good to make bear coz I can imagine leopard bear should look funny~~

happy try happy toy project

My happy toy project on Dec 5 2009.  I like this meaningful activity!


Its my pleasure to join happy toy project 2009





my PhD (project half done happy toy)




This is the giant happy toy showing at felissimo.  its so cute!

Since I was late to my last lesson, I couldn't complete it at class and I have to do "homework".  I completed my homework on the following Sat evening.  And I shall return it to Felissimo for giving to kids.  Who will be receiving my elephant in the earth?



I think it is a BOY
Still wondering his name ( I have to name him before I return to Felissimo)
Born on Nov 28th 2009 evening



Say hello!

The 8th

My 8th handsewn bear born on Dec 5th 2009

I started the 8th bear months ago for just to stock up some bears for whatever purpose.  It was nearly finished quite a while but pending to just the final step by sewing up all arms and legs to it's body.  Until one day I know I need something to a birthday girl next day, I completed it in rush in the night just right before the gathering.  I even forget to take a picture, so I could only take this in office next day.



So, its a SHE with no name.
Born on the night of November 12th 2009.


Experiment on cupcake decoration..... so ugly!

XL vs XS Bear

I just finished up the big bear today... It was just the A3 x A3 size, just few cm taller than the normal A3 size bear, but it took me a month to finish!  I swear I won't enlarge any pattern again!



And I also sewed a patchwork ball.  Is it too small? 




I will try to enlarge (!!!) the ball next time.

Happy bear!

Wow, new hobby on sewing back into July 1 2009. hahaha
This is my first felissimo happy toy project, isn't it cute

其實好多野做 (指工作同功課), 但最近中了bear毒,一連啤咗兩件bear,仲係心思思仲想啤...



一啤.男
Born on Jun 27 2009




二啤.女
Born on Jun 28 2009


雖說中了毒上了癮,但真係好好玩。之前因為想學報了felissimo的班,但等下等下已經數月,還是自已按其他紙型弄了另外兩只異形次貨,直至有了這紙樣才停止無謂的浪費(布+棉+時間)。
但一啤二啤並不完整:剛才發現我原來倒轉了手臂跟手掌;又不知如何收頭部的開口和身體的開口;同如何縫合兩部份才正確 ? 總之我胡亂的縫合,bear bear滿有缺陷的,真希望得路過高人指點一下...就好了。

First deal closed & my creative packing =_=

My first deal closed on May 10 2009.  Now I feel it looked so ugly!

This is the packing for my first deal made online.  Frankky, it is a bit like 山寨廠 packing. 
  
I was planning to roll the packed item into a brown paper and sew the 2 edges by the little hand sewing machine that I bought from Taipei Hands.   Not sure if I didn't know how to use or it didnt work properly, I tried for almost an hour and finally i gave up and hand sewed it up.  Though I dun feel it was ok, but I had no time to repack it as I couldn't keep the buyer waiting too long.  =(



My aim was to minimize the wastage.  (I need to remind myself to be environmental friendly).  So, inside packing materials were by cardboard, pill bag, bubble sheet -  all recycled materials found at home.




Hope to hear my second order soon la~

Little red hat stamp DIY

More self practice on Mar 8 2009....

自從接觸印印之後便一見鍾情了,幾乎每週都弄一兩個。可惜仲未買到刻章用的橡皮擦,加上無咩圖案特別喜歡 (應該係好少圖案可以fit到宜家用緊果d小擦膠),總覺得練習不夠,無咩進步過囉



不過刻章真係好好玩,所費無幾,仲可以平衡平日的工作壓力!好期待月中的台北之旅可以成行,可以入diy材料。唔知台北邊樹有得賣橡皮擦?

More self practice on stamp carving : Apple & Panda

More self practice on Feb 15, 2009.  I still remember this date, sigh, not bec of these stamps...

由十二月尾開始一直很忙,十二月是為了忙功課,2009伊始便忙工作,有好幾個晚上工作至凌晨3、4點,前天更工作至第二日早上8點幾,我的counter partner還要我繼續rec數呢?!可知我這週每天平均只睡了三、四粒鐘,所以一早已支撐不了,若非責任關係很早已睡了,最後只能勉強對了一些大數便上床去也。注定我的情人節是與周公子共渡了。不過這也不賴,因為這些大時大節老媽一定煩死人!見我勁唔夠精神就收口 !(只一天而已,唉~)
我呢個港女最期待的週末沒有了,真不甘心。平衡心理,這天睡夠做了兩個 :



覺得雕空中間的空位很花時....



票邊不圓崩崩的.....開始想買雕刻刀 -- 我估計圓頭的雕刻刀可以做到郵票邊,不過唔知啱呢?

Self practice of rubber stamp carving

Self practice after class (Feb 8 2009)
So ugly, hahaha

啱啱用d粗野A貨橡皮擦膠刻印章,又實又碎唔咪咁好刻...同埋我d技術唔夠 (睇下個 TM係刻唔到)。下次都係用d正貨先得。


Learning of Rubber Stamp Carving

Another new DIY skill introduced by a blogger back into Feb 8, 2009.   This really inspired my interest into stamp carving art in future!

一直都好想學玩印章,之前古國的手刻印章班都因為有事不能參加。昨日終於有幸上了古國的手刻印章班,原來真係好好玩o架 ! 材料工具已經預備好晒,講解又清楚,我只須自己輕輕鬆鬆上堂去~



第一章是綠色的donut ! 唔圓o架,哈哈哈~之後做了花生同冬菇,分別學習不同的技巧。跟別的手工班不一樣,堂上不消多久已經完成三個指定習作(通常我都係太慢的),今次我仲咪咪麼麼多刻一個玩下(其他人仲刻咗兩個添呀!)。幾有成功感同滿足感呀!毫無疑問我已經上癮了!因為真係好好玩 !
來個大合照先~donut, peanut, mushroom是課題,lady bug是自作業(斷腳的 ! 哈哈哈 !)



不過刻章都係易難精,要多d練習。材料工具包內的大橡皮膠太珍貴了(因為老師無貨啦)咋咋淋去十蚊店買d粗野頂住,練習下先!
