Crafty Me

Since young, I've always liked all sorts of crafts. I'd done sewing, tole painting, 3-D paper moulding (can't even remember the proper name now), beading, scrapbooking and making things of all sorts. Like the saying goes, 'Jack of all trades; master of none'. I love going to craft shops. Even when I go on holidays, I will look for such shops. Paper, ribbons and trims etc etc excite me a big deal. Since coming to UK, I'd been wanting to get my hands on some nice and cute fabrics. I'd visited some haberdasheries but the visits proved futile. Imagine my delight when I discovered 2 sites selling the type of fabrics I'd been searching for! However, they are not cheap. I inherited a mini sewing machine from my youngest sis (she lugged all the way from US). I used it to make an apron for Louisa for her dress-up as Little Red Riding Hood for World Book Day last week. One day, I hope to own a proper sewing machine (Hint! Hint! Adrian). I'll be able to use fabrics and trims I'd collected to make bags and cushions then! If you're a keen stitcher, have a look here and here. Below are some of my favourites.

Happy birthday, my dear sis!
