Weekend

It was a hustle and bustle Saturday. Shops and hawkers are cranking up with Chinese New Year (CNY) songs and decors are setup at Petaling Street. It seems like everything has happened before. Was it a déjà vu? Nah~ it’s not. We do the same thing every year. We shop for CNY stuffs till the very last minute, as usual. It’s not done yet and will be continued on the following weekends. Woot ~

Textile shop. My favourite shop where I enjoy looking at the patterns, colours, feeling the textures and think what can I do with this and that? It’s so beautiful. I bought 2 pieces of polkadot cloth. Thinking to make a few sets of bean bags (juggling cubes) to juggle. That’s gonna be my next handcraft work. Yay !!

It was a beautiful Sunday but we did not climb. We spent precious time at home with mom and dad and best of all, we made these juggling cubes. Our team work performed pretty well. Thanks, Abner. Let’s keep it up.

And let’s see who juggles better and the winner wears the pants !! Woohoo ~~

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.
