Pink polka dots tissue case


Pinkly polka pot tissue case is another work piece of mine.
This is a birthday present for my DEAR FRIEND and my ANGEL.
Angel’s favorite is foremost in my mind, so I chose pink colour fabric for her.
I do hope she will like it and feel happy after she unwraps the parcel.

Happy birthday to my Angel.
Thanks for being my genuine friend all the while.
Hugs.

Tutorial of tissue case making can be obtained from :: verypurpleperson ::.
I modified some of the steps.
Both of the pink polka dots fabrics were bought from Fabric Fanatics.

Marley & Me


I knew the doggie would die in the end.
Seeing the cute doggie, I just can’t resist it.
Hence, I watched this in the end.
I laughed, and also cried…

Marley darling is huge, energetic and DESTRUCTIVE Labrador!!!
He loves to chew any edible things that are within his reach.
Life is in a mess with such a naughty darling, especially during bad days when things keep going wrong.
Having a pet is not easy ya…
His babysitter sees him as ---“That is not a dog. That is evil with a dog face….”
Marley could be gained the title of the worst dog on the earth.


It is unfair for Marley if good parts of his are neglected.
This darling stays with his lady owner when she cries, he understands her.
Marley does bring laughter.

Marley turns old and he is not as active as before.
This is not a good sign, I used to have doggie, I know.
John and his entire family must have thought that it would be good to see Marley jumps up and down or performs some of his destructive behaviours.

I like this, John’s words to Marley…So true and so toucing...
“ You remember how we were always saying what a pain you are, that you’re the world’s worst dog? Don’t believe it. Don’t believe any of it for a minute. Cause you know we couldn’t find a better dog. You know what made you such a great dog is you loved us every day, no matter what. That’s an amazing thing.”


~ Quoted from "Bad dogs have more fun", by John Grogan ~
If pets are this much of a pain, why does anyone keep them?
They give their love and loyalty freely and always forgive us for our bad days and cranky moods.

Doggies give their hearts, when we give them ours. I believe this.

Breakthrough

Lord, I Thank You for the breakthrough.
I do not know how You work in this seemingly ridiculous situation.
Yet, I know NOTHING IS TOO DIFFICULT IN YOU.
You make things get into the appropriate places, at Your timing.

The road lies ahead of me is full of mysteries.
Every step that I take would affect me profoundly in a way that I can’t predict.
With faith, I declare my trust upon You.
I serve a supernatural God, I shall not worry.

Lord, once again, I Thank You for loading me with Your explosive blessings.
You will cause me to triumph in a way You intended.

Amen.

Blue Lady Sue external hard disk pouch

Dang Dang Dang !!!
This is my handmade external hard disk pouch, my first trial as well.
Start from ordering and buying materials, followed by thinking and planning, finally I got the final product.
Time consuming and labourious work, because I am slow in sewing…
Gazing at the newly made pouch, I could not stop smiling.
Pain and hard work are worthwhile.

The daily life Blue Lady Sue fabric was bought from YeeNChee's Little Hut.
The bottom part of the pouch is jeans fabric.

The sweet strawberry button was a special gift from YeeNChee's Little Hut.
The inner lining is black polka dots fabric in cream base which I bought in “Tewah”, a fabric shop located in The Mines Shopping Mall.
The batting that I used was bought from Sewing Life DIY Shop.

I embroidered the last character of my mandarin name on the jeans fabric.
The small cotton ribbon can be bought from Sewing Life DIY Shop as well.
Both left and right edges of the cotton piece lose thread easily. I coated the edges with melted candle wax.
I nearly ruined the beauty of the cotton piece because it was hard to control the flow and the amount of melted candle wax.

This is how it looks when I placed my external hard disk into the pouch.
Photos taken are not so nice, I will improve my photography skill.
