Flowery Peacock

Hello,

This is a peacock from red flowers at The Gardens. I happened-ly seeing this peacock on the way to the Art-Friend.

I do think that this peacock is adorable and exciting. Love it so much.

Ps: It was totally an awkward moment when no one cares about the peacock except me. And seeing me capturing her image by my phone alone it sooo pitiful. But unfortunately I can't resist any beautiful things/creatures.

Thank You notes

For my wedding, we'll pay my brother and his friend for Kompang and Silat. They are all around 10 to 12 years old kids.

I'm using an origami sheet from Origami To-Go Note Cards bought at BookXcess, Amcorp Mall. At the back of the origami sheet, I print some thank you note to them.

On the envelope, I print design from Marthe Stewart free templates.

I had a problem with the printer whereby most of the time it does not detect the envelopes. It was a stressful moment but it will not stopping me from completing the assignment.

On the other hand, my fiancé and friends said that the kids won't excited with the cards. Well, they were BOYS right? So, in a normal condition they do not appreciate art and craft. Huhu.. What to do..... I'm a stubborn bride-to-be..

How to spark the excitement?

Add RM5.00 to each of the cards.

What ya' think?

PSP Cover. Cute but fail :D

This is my trial of sewing a PSP cover.

It's totally cute but it was sloppy.

Not comfortable using it with the PSP because it's bit sloppy.

It's a fail project but I'm happy enough doing it.

No hard feeling when my fiancé said he did not like it because it does not sit still with the PSP.

It spark my challenge mode to do this again.

My mom said fabric and plastic cannot go. Huhu :)

 Picture was taken in a car (at my lap) because I was so excited to show this to my fiancé and friends.
They were ooh ahh at the back seat :D

I sew the button in a car (on the way to wedding) because the PSP was with my fiancé. So once I got the PSP, I measured the button to the correct place to sew.

I bring along with me thread, scissors, needle and ruler.

Cotton fabric for Baju Kurung

I love Japanese Cotton fabric for my baju kurung. It's my trademark at my office where I work.

For international reader, baju kurung is a Malay traditional cloth. For Malaysia, we have recognize baju kurung as a National Cloth.

I just bought 2 set of 4 meters cotton for my new baju kurung. I already send it to tailor and hopefully by middle of March I can't pick it up :D

I love flowers motif.

I love crowded cotton motif.

I love cotton.

 Not many people do handmade PSP Case. I just browse through the internet and found these cute items. 

The first one by Rabbit Rampage  and the third one are actually an iPhone case. Huhu..

The second one, by Minifelts is quite cute but it is in a form of small pouch. I'm looking for a case that can be attached or screwed to the PSP.

Origami-To-Go Note Cards

Hello,

Sharing my excitement with Origami-To-Go Note Cards, newly bought from BookXcess, Amcorp Mall - Petaling Jaya, Malaysia.
As shown in the picture, the price quit cheap i.e RM17.90.

Info:
-Amazon current selling price is $10.20
-Milo.com current selling price is $12.00

It comes with a cute box where we can pull the content using the attached ribbon.
Inside the box it has 16 note cards with 4 different designs. Accompanied with the note card is a blue metallic envelope. The note card was attached with instruction on how to make an origami dove.

I think this Origami-To-Go Note Cards was so darn cute.
