i'm off until tuesday

dear pals..

i'm currently in my hometown, spending my weekend with my family. i will update craft.and.shop on tuesday :-)

p/s : oh! by the way, yesterday, i managed to buy a couple of dmc thread, some sweet buttons and beads. all for my felt craft. (but i really forgot to buy my handphone strap and crafter ruler)

to be continued..

hubby's new iPod pouch in progress

..haha.

as promised, i wanna upload my felt project latest by yesterday. however, due to some contraints, i'm so sorry that i posted this entry late.

so pals, this is my latest felt project - an iPod pouch. it is for my hubby. 100% handmade. i was so excited doing all the measuring, cutting and sewing yesterday :-). the sewing is not neat enough yet, i guess. but it is still okey for a newbie like me.

this iPod pouch design is quite complicated. still, i need to finalized it (maybe today). i need to cut the holes for the earphones and iPod cable, i need to do some blanket stiching around the cover and some decorations.

ahh..! and one more. actually, the size is a bit bigger since i used the size of the previous iPod pouch., and actually it is a surprise for my hubby. so, i'm gonna redo the measuriing again.

p/s : i also plan to do another iPod pouch which is simpler in design.

my to-do list : 290110

1. new iPod pouch for hubby - 70% done 
2. a handphone case for my handphones - no idea yet! i wanna make something cute for myself ;-) 
3. some felt appliques - embellishment 
4. my baby pillow (recycled from my old-thorned pillow) 
5. a pincushion - 3" x 3" (planned to do a simple one first)
6. right header banner for this blog - 468 x 15
7. anybody wanna featured their ads here ? banner size - 125 x 125

due date : 7 february 2010 - is it possible? i'm hoping so...

ahh! i dun think my felt stock is enough. i need to buy some more...

Busy Mode

Ahh..! I still don't have the time to update this blog for my crafty things :( However, just some quick updates, yesterday I did managed to prepare the templates for my felties project.

I have done some basic shapes as a beginning - such as the hearts, pandas and stars shapes. Plus, I did tried to have my very own personalized characters. I will try to update the pictures latest by tomorrow since I just exchanged my camera phone with my hubby :-)

Today's project :

• new iPod pouch for hubby - template done
• a handphone case for my handphones - no idea yet! i wanna make something cute for myself ;-)
• some felt appliques - embellishment
• my baby pillow (recycled from my old-thorned pillow)
• a pincushion

Oh! There's a new blogshop on the block which I already adores the stuff there. I have planned also to buy some craft materials from there too. Kindly please visit Tamu Jajakraf for details.

i've done with the template first

hello readers!

welcome to another piece of me - craft.and.shop - a place where i would wanna share all my thoughts and opinions and practicals on crafting stuff. owh! shall we begin with felt craft and card-making thingy?

okies so i will upload more pictures later. the template is already good enough for me so far, i guess. oh well, this is not a blogshop (unlike my other blog : The Happy Housewife Blogshop ) - yet. i haven't decided so because my major target here is, to enhance my crafting skills first.

i'll update more later. please welcome me into the world of arts & crafting!!
