A peep into my craft world

Before I start on anything crafty, thought I'd let you have peep into my collection of craft supplies and such. Well, I always like to buy craft supplies without knowing what I want to do with them yet. Stocking up on felt, ribbons, buttons and such make me happy. Whenever I walk into a craft shop, I can just spend hours browsing all the supplies they have! Let you know a lil secret... I always dream of being able to go into a craft shop and grab whatever I want for free! Sponsored craft supplies, how cool is that?! I hope someone can fulfill this dream of mine one day.. haha!

This is my 2nd sewing machine. It's a gift from my dear friend, omie 2 years back. It's nicely decorated with decals before bringing it back all the way from Singapore. My sewing skill is still bad but I promise to brush up my skill very soon! I want to fully utilise the machine and not put it to waste.

My felt collection throughout the years... I think I need a bigger storage box for felt soon.

Ahh.. my fav... Lately, I've been very into ribbons. Felt, patterned or just plain ribbons. Aren't they lovely? I also bought some zippers to try out with my sewing machine. Love the colors the moment I open this storage box!


Beads and buttons. Although I hardly play with beads, but I do have my collection of beads. And buttons, yes, buttons.. what else can I say about buttons? They add lil details to almost anything!

I've a small collection of fabrics and few boxes of other stuff but they're too messy to take a picture of them, so I'll pass...

Etsy

I’ve been a member of Etsy for years but haven’t been really active in selling my handmade creations. For some reasons, I’m too shy to share it with my friends that I’ve a shop in Etsy. I don’t know why… maybe it’s the fear in me that they’ll find my stuff uninteresting or too random. Am I silly? But after reading on the topic by Holly about fear, I think it’s not that bad after all. It may be a fear that’s never there! So yeah, I linked my Etsy mini shop here! I’m gonna get my mind going and hands moving again to come up with some new creations! Stay tuned…

A new start to my creative world!

This site is dedicated to all my handmade creations, cute finds and whatever inspires… Thanks to Holly Becker of decor8! I’m now attending her e-course on Blogging Your Way and I plan to apply things I learnt from her here. She has been a true inspiration and great teacher…
