Belated ramblings & thanks...

Borrowed Thanksgiving table picture by Sassygeek.

Its been tough trying to get back to the temperatures here. Hokkaido was snowing and I was there on the 1st snow day. How fun it was standing in the freezing temperatures trying to catch snowflakes on my tongue. The food was so fresh and fabulous it was tough not to keep eating. I miss the potato pancakes most. Its such a simple thing, but yet so homey and yummy. Kinda like how Anton felt when he ate Ratatouille. Heavenly. I left Hokkaido after 6 days and proceeded on to Tokyo. Hokkaido was on a tour group thing so it was cool having to experience mountains, autumn trees, glorious food, hot springs, Japanese-style rooms and city life all in one go. Tokyo was by ourselves coz I was supposed to bring my folks around. Well, um, it was difficult; the population had grown so much in a couple of years. We did have fun there. Brought them around Akiba, Meiji Shrine, Harajuku, Shibuya, Shinjuku (The crazy KK queue!), Ueno Zoo, Kaminarimon, sensoji and Odaiba. Odaiba was really pretty. I thought the Tokyo beach thing was an overkill but it turned out to be really beautiful. We sat there during sunset, with the rainbow Bridge in view and stuff. Of course we had to visit Yasukuni Shrine. Its my favourite place right now. Wish I could go back to see it when the Cherry Blossoms are in bloom. There was a monthly flea market there too. Couldn't resist picking up a couple of bargains.

I still miss that place loads and the ramen shop guy in Tamachi knows us coz we frequent it too much. LOL Oh the katsu-kare is amazing stuff. ;+) We stayed at the gorgeous Villa Fontaine. Mum thinks its too quiet but its great for me. It was new, chic, spacious and tastefully decorated. Sitting way above an office block, we're assuming its for the working people and expats.

Oh yes, thanksgiving. There's actually no thanksgiving in Singapore but I'm going to pretend there's one anyways. And its not past November so I'm in time. right? ;+)

Super cute Snoopy for you guys! Happy belated thanksgiving!

Mirror Mirror Mushie in my pocket

These were well, in the works for a while. (I ordered them one drowsy night. :P) But somehow the person who made it took 2 months to get it here. Oh well, its in good time for the Merry Mushie theme. I loved how they turned out. Its a bit muted and the fabric printout makes it look like its actually fabric. How zakka-esque!



They come in this really adorable and well-fitting velvet pouch! That reminds me, if a lot of you guys want these, I might have to pick up more of these adorable pouches. Seriously, they were so cute, I kept them for a while when I bought them. Shame on me.

I've only got a couple of these and in the Christmas spirit and everything, they are going for a song at only $5.50. We all need a little bit of portable & functional zakka! Go ahead and pick one already!

Bright Idea

I've been waiting on Jek's Light Bulb pillows since she started making them! Jek's a great gal who makes loads of really cool goodies. I'm a huge fan of her fabulous pictures of her extraordinary adventures, sweets baking and casa decorating. They are always so inspiring and uplifting. And all those eye-popping candy colors! Its the place I go to after a crummy day coz they never fail to bring a smile. ^_____^

BTW, Crummy is a perfectly cromulent word.

Scoot over to jekbot. For just $20, you can grab yourself a bright idea.

I can see the music!

Coolest thing I've seen all day. And I've been to the urban jungle. Yeugh, those vile humans behaving badly makes me wanna retch. You name it, I've seen it, every single day, that is. Wedgie picking, butt digging, nose-picking & cleaning the goo everywhere, burping, farting, talking loudly on public transports, not lecturing their kids when they run amok, walking all over, cell-phone playing.....

Anyhoo, this really really cool pair of undies comes from dyehearts.

I'm off to look for a bong.

Merry Mushie...

Mushie Love is here! I stopped procrastinating for 5 minutes and got these uber cuties up on my shoppe. Do take a peek!

It took me a while to put scissors to these fabrics. Japanese-import fetchingly-retro mushrooms on cotton canvas doesn't sound any sweeter than anything else in the world for me. Or maybe Krispy Kreme? For people who live in Tokyo metro, did you guys see the Krispy Kreme queue outside Times Square?! Jesus. I didn't even bother to take a picture coz my camera won't cover the length of the queue. And there I thought, hey, let's go get a donut. *eye roll*

Back to the mushies....I've been pretty much hit with the 70s wave. I'm always a vintage lover but never thought I'd progress beyond the 60s. Well, maybe as time progresses, the vintage bug moves too? Oh well. I think it sorta started when I saw this pillow. Then California Dreaming started playing in my head, day and night. I started looking for the mv on youtube. The of course, it had to progress onto Surfer Girl because of Cameron Diaz and Demi Moore, Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles (I played this video through my exam period) and ultimately stopped at Lennon and Ono. Seems that some people actually hate Lennon but methinks his determination to live life and make changes deserves some respect. It seems that its destined that great people tend to die young, Bruce Lee & Lennon (is it just me or does anyone else think he looks a little like Aidan Shaw when he first appeared in SATC?)for example. Or maybe its only in those ways that etches a deep memory.

Anyhoo....I've also been searching for retro fabrics, of course (^____^) but haven't been able to find anything fetching. If you are reading and do have pieces from Dekoplus or some scandinavian, european fabrics you have available, give me a buzz. Oh, and vintage french linen with red stripes on it as well. ;+)

As if I haven't got enough. Tsk tsk, shame on me!

Hello boys and girls....

Boo. Just wanna say hello before I hit the hay. How were you guys when I was gone? Been good? Santa's watching! Yeap, I'm back, for a couple of hours that is. Some of you guys may have known, I was in Japan for the past 2 weeks or so. Its been quite a great trip, the only problem was um, the lack of money and energy to do more. It was quite an unplanned trip actually. My folks just wanted me to bring them around and act as their translator. Then I figured out that it isn't really that easy. I think the luggage made it worse.



Thats the stack of fabric I manage to grab while given the short time and stress from crowds. Still quite a gigantic stack, I had to let it come by SAL. It fitted just nicely into the largest Yuupakku from Japan Post. 19kg worth and um, yeah, my dad and I carried it to the PO nearby. Looks like I have a bad habit of extra boxes when I make my Japan trips. Still, thats not including more stuff I bought! I'd prolly need a bit of time to sort the stuff and pictures out. Be a little patient with me! Orders are running in so our little factory would be up and running this weekend. Imagine those puffy chimmneys! *toot toot!*



Had this stack before I left. ;+) Its the Mushroom bunch. Coz I really wanna have a mushie kinda Christmas. I miss the warmth of fireplaces, the smell of roast turkey and snow on the window ledges. Nothing says "awwwww~!" more than mushrooms, non?
Coming soon. Will be under the Private Reserve Collection.



Then of course, there's the mini strap pouch. ;+) I like how this picture almost says, "Time's running out! Now mush!" heh heh

Time to get some shut eye. Post office tomorrow.

For 5 smackeroonies ONLY!

Alright, its here again! ALL my MiniZs in the Petite section is at $5! This one's for all you slowcoachers out there. hehe Haven't picked up Chrissie gifts for your loved ones? Go here.

Remember, everyone at florspace is on vacay from 10th to 23rd so shipping happens after that. We'll pack and ship everything on the 23rd or the day after so it'll be in time for Christmas. ;+)

Etsy Finds

Its jewellery like these that makes my heart palpitate like nuts. I'm not a huge jewellery wearer, usually just one cool piece somewhere and I'm done so its really hard to go past this Vintage Brass Butterfly Cuff from JewelsofLuxury. The cuff is so detailed and vintage it makes it really difficult not to keep staring! She has quite a couple of interesting pieces like the watch part necklace. I go so soft for lost time-esque pieces. All my strict saving rules go out the window, literally.



While we're on the topic of luxury, I nearly fell off the chair when I saw the Voltaire. Its been my lifelong dream to own one of these french historical pieces, if I may say so. Though this one's a plastic version with rubber coating, good for outdoors, where you can show it off, what else! For prices like these, you wanna get all the attention. Not a genuine vintage, but hey, look on the bright side, literally. ;+) From modernfront, with loads of other yummy pieces to lust and drool after.



One more shoutout of objects of lust goes to Satchelman. No more dusty and musty old doc cases from the vintage market. This one's new and made to order! A while back, I was obsessed with the idea of these doc bags. Peeps who know me, well, know that I like everything to do with docs. *eye roll* Its up to your imagination there. But I couldn't find any in decent condition in the markets and antique shops coz they were well, really icky and I had little knowledge on how to clean 'em, not to mention patience. LOL So there, the doc bag I've been looking for. Though, its to lust-for, for now. The man calls it a "swag bag" though. Anyone to elaborate?



Still feeling rich & got pennies to throw? Scoot over to pakokeco for these enfrancais flashcards you'd need when swinging through Paris with your honey. I've got one + a load of her tags! Its so reasonable and of fab quality, makes shopping sooooOOO easy, you wanna just go and grab her whole shop full of yummy things! I warned ya, scrapbookers especially.



Don't forget to "Tell someone you heart them" this holiday season! Gocco printed (Heart Gocco!) by the wonderful Jackie from littlestflower. She's got affordable artworks (limited prints!) in her shop! And that's SO hard to come by at etsy coz peeps like to creep their prices up. Jackie offers these simple yet beautiful white frames with the artworks, perfect for any room or decor. They are light and easy to put up. I've got 2 in my room stuck up with just plain ole blu tack & it works! There's something about the simplicity of her designs that makes me smile everytime I see it. I've got more to come! yaay!



Speaking of simplicity, I found this little girl by accident! Oooops, I mean little dress. LOL I know, I know, I'm not a baby person but if I had one, she'll be wearing this. Isn't that just darling, non? Its so roadworthy, I'd bring her to the Plaza for dinner. I guess most baby clothes we see on the streets just don't cut it. Go shop with babyleila & get your babes decent clothes! They ain't kidding with the handmade for modern kids motto. Thumbs up.



Oh Momma. That's hot. I can't help it but felt that way when I found this couple of days ago. Dang, why am I not a mom yet? Sweet yet sexy~. Moms out there, you have to grab this and wear it! You'll be the coolest momma in town. If the picture doesn't grab you, what would!? From paisley33, its only $20. :P



While you're still shopping for the holidays, do check out Sugarcane's yummy bags! She lists so many grest stuff, its tough to pass up! I know I make bags too but you gotta check hers out. Great wearable sizes, superb quality and interesting constructions, yet afforable for everyone. She's got a great passion for bags so the outcome of her creations tends to be fabulous! I'm loving her slouches, especially Electric Dreams up there. They make perfect pressie for moms, aunts and sis or keep it for yourself like I always end up doing. I'm dying to own one but my vacation/biz trip is looming! Get there before I do peeps.



Isn't that CUTE? I never knew it was possible, well, maybe remotely but there, up on my screen is an apple jacket! Well jacquelineknits do make jacket for pears too and even tea bag holders! Life's precious and don't we all have it covered now? ;+)



I'm still pretty excited waiting on the arrival of my new birdcage, so I was pretty happy to find this on the homepage of etsy. I guess the birdcage fever's not just me. ;+)

Or is that a real fever? Damn those exam papers. Getting distinctions (or As in US-talk) is a plague. Once its attained, its hell keeping up. Torture torture. But we all have finger-shopping to keep us busy and well, entertained. Don't forget my shop, if you're still picking things up for stocking stuffing! ;+)

Happy Halloween

The Ghost in You by Linda Plaisted, sighted at More Ways To Waste Time. I'm loving Linda's works for the impending depth and foreboding feeling I get from looking at her works.

Happy Halloween guys. Its past 12 now and its pouring like hell over here. Winds howling, trees swaying back and forth so I figured there's no better time. DH is going to some Halloween party tomorrow. I'm stuck at home studying coz there's a biz comp paper on Thursday. Boo, big time. No partying. Hope you guys have a better holiday.

Yaay...I can start wishing people Merry Christmas soon! (I waited a year for that. LOL)

Explosion!

The florspace shop has exploded! LOL Look at that amount of stuff in there! Do jump in to take a look. Fabulously made purses, quality materials and yummy things free with your order! How much better can it get?



Sugarbunnies have finally arrived. They are going real quick as I speak so if you want one, go straight to my shop now. I've ran out of that super adorable fabric so there'll be no more after this!



Some of my other really yummy MiniZs perfect for stocking stuffing! And it makes a great pressie for a gal (or dude) who has everything!



Scoot over to florspace today and buy handmade!
Because we are better than machines. ;+) Support us and we'll continue to make more things in our cute factory for you guys!

(oops, too much shameless advertising. LOL Did it work?)

Lethargic week

Wednesday's lunch. A couple of days later and its old news. Pasta gets me through the day, coz I got sick of instant noodles. Sapporo soy handmade noodles or not. How do you guys like the 3-column blog? I've been toggering it for a while and I'm hopeless at html so the mention of those 4 letter words make me break out in cold sweat. Nonetheless, after the upteenth time I've failed, I decided to give it another go a couple of days ago before the Accounting exam paper on Thursday. I couldn't sleep and was pretty hyped up after all that cash flow statements. Looks fine with me, though the center text alignment's a bit off. I'm done fixing it coz I'm so confused on where those tags go and I'm pretty terrified about screwing it up like the last time.



After that paper, I pretty much feel like the banana peel in the bin. I took this picture coz it looked beautiful. Yeah, trashing beauty. LOL Neways, the paper was bad, 7 questions in 3 hours don't cut it. I couldn't finish and my cash flow statement did not balance, which is thoroughly embarassing coz I've been doing accounting for more than a decade now. Don't ask why they threw me back in year 1. I think the uni asked for "academic" credentials. I only had professional ones from ACCA. *eye roll*



Little packages of ribbon for the ribbon swap on swap-bot. I love ribbons and love packing them. I think I'll start a monthly ribbon swap on swapbot when I'm back from vacay. Hope my partners like them! There's 7 yards of fun in there!



Cookies to make me feel better when cramming. I'm trying hard to get my dumb brain to absorb macroeconomics right now but I seriously have a lack of good materials. The notes are skimpy and the text is hopeless. I don't know about you, but economics is a whole new way of looking at life, a whole new way of thought for me that I never knew I'd be doing it all over again since college days. I'd forgotten most of it and the equations and graphs are throwing me for a loop right about now. I'm praying for an easy paper.



A package for my one of my dearest customers. :+) Hope she likes! That gorgeous tag is from digital paperie at etsy. And take that handmade pledge too! & buy handmade this holiday seasons. There's so many beautiful christmas cards on etsy, I don't know where to begin to tell you!



Some jumbo laundry clips I whipped up a little while ago. I was looking for good clips but the local versions were plagued with splinters. I found these bigger (& therefore better!) version at Daiso. Smooth and pretty! I painted them withh enamels and voila! I'm imagining them a lot a lot bigger as a real life static installation. Mmmm.....installations. Love 'em.



Mum's kitchen. I love my mum. She's got really interesting quirks. When the glass panels of the cabinet broke, she replaced them with these lace panels. Much better, me thinks. Just thought I'd share. ;+)





This is about the best thing that happened all week. Some fabrics I'd ordered came and I was esctatic for a while. They are extremely lovely and they add to my pile. The private reserve is adding in at 4 big piles. They are utterly addictive. Pretty sure it'll get much worse at my trip to Tokyo this time. More goodies for you guys though! I'm bringing my folks to Hokkaido and we'll stop by Tokyo to pick up some stuff and walk around. They haven't been to Japan so they're prolly dragging me along for translation. Hmm.....or they'll be Lost In Translation. LOL Bad pun. Loved that movie though.

Tomorrow's my Grandad's 1-year-anniversary. I can't believe he's been gone for a year already. I really really miss him and have always stopped to regret that I hadn't spent enough time with him ever since I went to Sydney. He started disintegrating then. When I came back, his memory was gone. I hope he was happy. For some reason, the little shop he's worked for all his life is going to close. The only thing I could salvage from it is the abacus he's used for the accounts. I'd always remember him clicking and clacking on that heavy abacus. I spent quite a lot of time in that shop when I was young. Hopefully with that abacus, I can preserve some of those memories.



I'm ending on an upbeat! Pardon me if you're from those states. Singaporeans prolly find it funny. Its from Saturday's The New Paper. :+)

Recent Obsessions

I'm not sure if its my current situation (eeep!) but I'm thoroughly obsessed with birdcages right now and etsy has got sooooo many to offer. I know, I know, I'd already bought one and have another from Kiki's Delivery Service. I still *hyperventilates* get excited when I see them. It seem to be all about the beauty of being caged when seen from the inside and not being caged when seen from the outside. Jez, now I'm not even make sense no more.



I'm such a vintage fiend, going after loads of letterpress swirls and curls, table & kitchenwares and stuff. So its no wonder how this one birdcage really really captured my attention. I'm obsessed with its unique construction and how perfectly aged it is. It comes with a red bird from PaperFlowers. She even has a life-like nest with 2 robin-blue eggs among other really interesting and lovely things. I'm already in heaven.... Don't buy them, coz I, um, really want them. (:/ self-reminder: vacation in Nov, vacation in Nov....)



I've also stumbled upon LilyMoon, who has really gorgeous insightful prints and offers so much to think about....The one above is the Aviary Keeper, the turquoise/aqua combination just blows away. I especially like the guy lying under the tree, keeping watch over the birds in the gigantic cage. How fairy tale like!



Can you keep a secret was another print that really captured me. Actually, I'm not sure how to explain it anymore. I'm more of a sensual person. Somehow explaining it away can kill the feeling. ;+) Anyways, I'm really feeling the dialogue between the little lady at the side and the birdcage lady. Hmm.....whats the secret?

Of course, we'll never go past theblackapple for really cute girly prints, like this trio with birdcages. I also liked a 50s birdcage pillow from Olive. And a pretty cool birdcage assemblage from uncommonart. It just keeps getting better!

Anyways, there's a really old bird shop down at Balestier road and I'm seriously thinking of buying a real one and maybe respray it in red or black and using it as a form of deco, installation or lighting source. Just worried its gonna crowd my tiny room. Tsk tsk, decisions, decisions. We'll see.



Ok, besides cages, I've been on the lookout for a vintage tiny coffee/end table. I'm liking some of the kidney formica tables but haven't found anything pleasing yet. Though, I saw this map table from Bombus who makes really fab vintage things a while ago and haven't been able to forget. There's something about the map and the siletto legs together thats so ironic. LOL My budget doesn't really allow for that yet and the salvo shops and old stores doesn't seem to have anything decent yet. I hate waiting sometimes but yet we all know that the best comes to those who wait. I'd always buy something then wonder, what if something better comes along? Its a bit like men. LOL + *eye roll*



Then I came across this really nifty idea from dottyral who makes the ever famous emery pin cushions; they keep your pins sharp. This cute little ring pincushion is for the girls who find the red pincushion ala Vera Wang a bit passe and in-the-way, no offence to Vera's fans (I like her designs though). I found it sliding around and the surface area of the cushion was a bit big and I tend to get itchy wrists after a while. I'm pretty sure dottyral's ring version would solve those problems and bring a bit of fun to sewing. Hey that little cushion holds more than enough pins for a project people. LOL

(checkered flag!)

repeal 377a - over

I'm not sure but I'm pretty appalled such a law still exist in Singapore today.
Please help to repeal. Its just a simple little form to the Prime Minister.

Thanks guys.

**edit: thanks everyone who's scooted over to do something about society's ridiculousness. The appeal is closed.

Now we're left with climate change. Its not just for the evangelicals! Bring your own grocery bag today, esp the Singaporeans. And please stop looking at me funny when I'm the only one doing BYOB at Fairprice. Jez, what is with these people!

Darkest Hour, appreciations, new cell + wallets

Yeah, its high time I do a post. Its been yonkers (cybertime!) since I last appeared here. Loyal readers (if any!), I do apologise. If you all must know whats been keeping me off the blog, see above. Working with people for the Marketing project culminating to a 5000 word report with extra appendices spanning 52 pages. I haven't slept in days, literally. Before that, it was the marketing test. I mugged like nuts and worked my ass off, but there was this horrible dude in class who goes through life by leeching off others. Needless to say, I was estatic to find out, the day before I handed in the project (Friday) that I got a High D for the test. Then the next day, I found out this leech got a High D too. He was announcing happily after the class because of his height "advantage", he cheated and copied answers from students around him. Jerk. Now I feel like my HD is a joke, especially when put next to his. Did I mention he's in the same project group as me? And yes, he didn't do anything for the project, lamented that he wasn't given a chance to do stuff. Lies. We gave him a bazillion chances and he never once showed up with anything. He wrote his name on the cover of the project without a hint of guilt. Never in my decades on this earth have I met someone like that! Its both amusing and appalling. Its weird but grades never meant this much to me til now. It must be a HD curse. The stakes always get so high when you fare well. The pressure to keep up is mounting...



That package there is for a wonderful girl who supports me so much. I'm lending the picture to say thanks to people who have left wonderful feedbacks at my etsy account, emails of appreciations, condolences for the nonsense in school(eeep!), sweet comments at my flickr photos and random niceness of strangers and friends. Its a tough time, but all that niceness saw me through. All that's left now is the finals. Mugging alone seems like a good idea! Oh well, I learnt it the hard way. Never lend out your notes. Over my dead body! LOL



Moleskine has been my companion for years now. Funny how they're turning snazzy. Hell, the red really attracted me. I got this set from a local auction site and it came quickly. I'm loving the extra doodle book and stickers! Lying there beside is my new cell. The old pink one was giving weird problems so dad happened to get this one. Its pretty much the same phone, 'cept thinner? The last one was a V3X and this one's a V3xx. Funny how adding one X makes a big difference. Thats what they said about mathematics too...



New wallets! And more to come! Choco apples, mushroomated and pink sakura are still hanging around in my shop. Any takers?

Eat flowers, stress, carving, orange

Important note!
Thanks for everyone's recent orders but due to a crazy busy week of tests, assignments and projects, I can only make a postal run on Saturday morning. I'm pretty much packed 9-9 everyday which isn't really good for post. Everything's packed and ready to go so no worries. To know when I've mailed your package, check for records on etsy or you'll receive a shipping notice from me with the tracking number. My sincere apologies and I promise it'll get better! Though, if your order is urgent, let me know asap so I can do something.



Ok, with the important note out of the way, I was supposed to write this last night or monday night. I realised my situation just got really bad so I thought I'd better update everyone. Its been a really bad time for me, with very very little sleep and its made me super cranky! I'm really lucky to have mum helping me with sewing. There's very little time to sew these few days and I'll prolly not get to do that for a while. I'm dreaming a lot about the needle of my machine going up and down. LOL I'm still secretly caressing and sniffing my fabrics, just to curb the addiction. sigh. So.very.tired. I miss eating wafer flowers in the night.



I was bored the other night so I carved these at 4am coz I was too hyped up to sleep after doing a project report. They don't look fantastic coz I'm still very much a novice at stamp carving but really hope I'll get better with practice! DH got me a whole load of rubber stamp carving things from his trip the last time and snail mailed it to me as a birthday pressie! Oh and he included a simpsons DVD pack too. I can't remember which season it is but its got maggie on it. It'll add to my collection. Woo-hoo! New Simpsons DVD to spice up my old re-runs! I wanna take a pic of the pressie but you know, work and all. I'm hardly ever home in the day and its the best time to take pics. Night pics are forever crummy!



FAA orange parcel swap package received! Last weekend I made a patchwork out of the materials in the packages hoping to have time to turn them into a bag this weekend. Here's hoping! Thanks everyone who sent my such fabulous things. Oh, one of the packages included a round tin of lifesavers. My classmates had a swell time over the design of the push tin. They thought it was a twisty top but turns out its a press top and puff sides for closure. We had a good laugh over people who didn't get it. Suffice to say the yummies inside didn't last long either!

Oh wait, I'm in blogging in class. Gotta go!
