Goodbye baby

I had to say goodbye to this baby after my colleague agree to adopt it from me. I've spent more time than the first bag for this one, as this pattern is harder to sew. What more initially I've used a harder under-layer.

I love this fabric and was intended to get more of it, but there is no more offer on this one. So I've ordered another pattern which surely will produce another baby later.

 The best part of this baby is its zipper which make it more secure to bring around.

 What more it has a zipper interior compartment and some slot for handphone and smaller items.

 It also comes with two side pockets.

The hardest part in making this make is sewing the second line around the top. I've actually hand sew it 'cos it is just too thick to get into my sewing machine. I wanted to make another one in this pattern.

Some silly time

We were waiting in the parking space like usual when hubby got things to do in the bank. From this bank to the other in settling his bills. We were waiting and got nothing to do, while wasting on the petrol, we might as well off the engine, open up the car doors and let some fresh air in, what more is it more environmental free, right? So the boys got bored and they got out of the car and started doing some silly things, so I quickly grab my camera and ask for some silly poses, ha! This is what I get.

This is definitely worth to capture and recorded down. Though we had so much of these silly times from time to time, but it had been more fun with the camera and a story to tell. Hopefully when the boys are older, they'll still laugh about it 

 Have pulled out my stash of doilies, Prima flowers, My Mind's Eyes paper, Making Memories journaling pad, mist and Martha Stewart butterfly punchers, plus a swirl die-cut from MM's Slice machine.

Would I let them do those silly pose again? Yup, definitely!
Have you join in the challenge over at Scrap-it-lah!? Go and have fun!
Happy weekend you all!

Something that I've made

First thing that I wanted to share, a bag!
Yup, one that I've managed to copy and made from a book. I've changed a bit on its front design since I don't have a magnetic button. One that my colleague said "See first la.. if you can make it."
heheh... I did! And I was even using it today.. well.. , though the sewing part is not perfect, still .. this is my first handbag!

It has a zip pocket and space for hand-phone inside:

Okay kah? Can bring out to the street?

I think I want to add another two button on the side though, to make it more secure, else people can easily grab things out from my bag!

Anyway, definitely going to make more and I've already got some encouragement from my sister to do so, yay!!

Lost his tooth

Mervin lost his first tooth on 17 July this year. Yup, it was being pulled away by him school's auntie (the caretaker) and later he lost it. Of course he was so proud in having his little tooth pulled off 'cos he's been trying to do that and I was also helping him to do that without success.

Glad that the auntie able to pulled it out and save me RM50 for dental visit..hehe..

Here are some close-up of the layout:

Using a few chipboard buttons with embossing powder and mist, plus a few die-cut brads from My Mind's Eye lost & found line.

Punched out a few butterflies using Martha Stewart punchers, mist them and using gel medium.

Have used Technique Tuesday Ali Edward's stamp for "today" and some Basic Grey letter stickers.

I was trying to use mist, embossing powder, stamps and gel medium on my layout. Trying to relive the Iris Babao Uy's challenge in Scrap-it-lah before.
