Decotapes :)

Hello again!
I'm back at Auckland and I've been unpacking ever since I arrived last week! (Why do I have so much books, clothes and craft supplies?!)
And I've been so naughty for the last two months. While I was at Kuala Lumpur, I went on multiple shopping sprees :(. In fact, on the last day of my stay at KL, I bought some yummy looking decotapes, which I simply could not resist!

Decotapes :)

The designs are so adorable!



Hope you have a sweet sweet day!

Looking back at January

Happy 1st of February, everyone!

Here's a tiny sewing review of January:
For the past few weeks, I've sewed some very simple things.
Simple, tiny things called Chubbees :).
I hope you like it :)

I've always dreamt of selling some of my things online.
But there is always a fear that I'm not good enough.
Perhaps one day, I'll work up some courage to attempt online selling :).

Have a good week!

Spools of beauty

I loveeee wooden spools.
They are so pretty and so perfect for trims, thread and ribbons.

Shop, shop, shop!

Hi everyone!
Today's post is all about my own kawaii/cute purchases. I hope you like what I'm about to show you :).

First up are kokeshi dolls, which came in a set of three.
I bought them while I was on my Shanghai trip :).

I bought a reusable shopping bag from Daiso.
I simply could not resist the cute apple prints on such a functional bag!

"Love you" in blue pants

Balloon (blue) brooch

"Love you" in blue pants

I know, I know! Another one?
Hehe. I guess I couldn't resist making another one! It is so easy to sew a "Love you", and I think it is cute enough as a little gift to a dear friend.
Now that my sister has seen this blue pants one, she has demanded a blue one for herself too! So it looks like it's back to sewing again for me :P.
Hope your day is filled with love :)!
