Back to the 60s

I personally agree that polka dot will not get out of vogue no matter what the trend and era is. Yup, it’s so famous back in the 60s. I’m not sure if I have ever mention that I got inspired by the 60s. The decade that brought us flower power, hippies, bell bottom, hot pants, mini skirts, polka dot, Audrey Hepburn skinny jeans, Beatles suit for the men and the list goes on. Where were you when all these were happening? If a genie could grant me a wish, I wish that I could turn back time and live in the 60s. *Erm… can I have more wishes ??* 😛

While I was experimenting some new flowers for my accessories projects, I realized that my obsessions have recently expanded to involve headbands. I’ve the designs of the headband sketched. Done some drafting and finger crossed things will turn out well.

The elastic headband below is 100% handmade of polka dot and solid navy blue cotton. With the perfect match of the newly-experimented-flowers, it brings everything to perfection.

Have a lolli-lollipop Birthday!

I would like to say thank you to an ol’friend of mine, Joanna for her trust in me and giving me such a great time to create a scrapbook as a birthday gift to her hubby, Brian.

It was fun looking for materials, getting the ideas and best of all, I can do some sewing as you can see on its cover. 😀

This book contains sweet memories of the couple and the new journey of life with their new born princess, Ashley. To personalized this impeccable-handmade-gift (ahem), I got Joanna to hand written the poems and messages to Brian on the prepared space. Mmm… mmm… sweet-kan? To enhance the taste of sweetness, there it goes a lollipop made of felt fabric.

A very belated lollipop xxth birthday to Brian !! 😀
