Bucket Bag and A Triple Birthday

I'm currently making some of this bucket bag, and have finished some of them. If you had read this post, you would know where I got its pattern. I made the pattern at July and made the bags at December. That's great. At least, I made them, didn't I ? =)) ROTFL

Sewn using this Botanika's Wink Wink from Paula Prass and a dark brown linen as its lining, can you imagine where I should take this bag along with me? to the mall, bookstores, to the picnic ? It was weird because I imagined using it as a baby nursery or craft room decoration *__*

And for "shaun the sheep" plushie in the first photo, I know, that wasn't my kind of style. But I couldn't think of anything connected to wool yarns except "shaun the sheep". I feel so guilty for snatching Zakiyya's doll without asking her first. Her response when seeing that photo was like "Mom, that's my doll" ha ha..

The bag without "shaun the sheep" :


After few weeks of hiatus in blogging and sewing, I realized that I forgot all my promises to you, from this renewed tutorial until bigger sizings for this patterns. Sorry :'(
I'll try my best next year

Last but not least, did I forget to mention that we got a triple birthdays this month ? After Zakiyya's birthday at the end of November, three weeks ago was my birthday, two weeks ago was my boy's birthday, and last monday was my husband's birthday. We celebrated them by going to the beach, sight seeing Mount Krakatau and Mount Anak Krakatau, and by getting nauseas the next day - all day long, all of us
That was not full of fun, but we were all excited. How about you? How did you fill your holiday ?

Shabby Chic & Kawaii Finds

Why on earth did I not fall in love with doll house miniatures before ? Especially in tea-set miniatures that I found this week (above). And the shabby fabrics I bought from Goodthings Gallery is a perfect mate for my mini tea set. I'm considering to make four mini floor pillows using the same fabrics. What do you think ?


That cute pink+doily bunny mug above is from Daiso. Are you a fan of "Daiso"? If you're a fan, you must be familiar with its collections of cute and kawaii zakka things and home decors, includes two cute tins below :



So tell me, can you bear those cuteness ? What are your latest treasure finds ?

Sweet Holiday Treats - Giveaways from Myurbey - CLOSED

I met the awesome Belinda from Myurbey somewhat a year ago in blogging land, and we suddenly became best friends. When I asked my crafty friends to sponsor my giveaways, she's among the first who contacted me. Seriously, if I can enter myself into this giveaway, I will surely do that :D

She loves to be crafty, sandy beaches and Cath Kidston. I want to know her better so aI asked her a couple questions, and she promptly gave me her answers (Thank youuu Belinda...XOXO)

Here are her answers :
1. Tell us a bit about yourself
Hello world ,I'm Belinda. Belinda Regina Visser and I'm 20 years old
Aku anak pertama dari 2 bersaudara ,memilih menjadi full crafter dengan alasan karena dulu tidak diterima pekerjaan karena belum lulus, tapi rasanya pilihan ini justru lebih baik,dan sekarang menjadi Founder and Crafter di Myurbey

2. Apart from creating things, what do you do?
Selain menjadi Crafter di Myurbey ,aku juga menjadi administrasi disana, menjadi tukang antar barang ke JNE, menjadi pengamat, menjadi marketing, menjadi blogger ,menjadi wanita 20th yang gemar mencari hal baru dan Pantai Baru

3. Where does your inspiration come from?
Inspirasi datang dari mana saja, dan inspirasi datang di kertas putih. Ketika mencoret garis dan membuat pola ,disitulah ide dan inspirasi datang. Di kamar adalah salah satu tempat ternyaman di dunia selain Pantai



4. What does handmade mean to you?
Handmade itu jika di ibaratkan adalah Sidik Jari, tidak bisa di pungkiri sidik jari setiap orang specially setiap crafter itu berbeda. Kami mungkin punya konsep yang sama atau ide yang mirip, namun setiap goresan, setiap jahitan, setiap gambaran itu bisa menyimpulan diri orang itu sendiri ,dan keunikannya sendiri

5. Who has been most influential in your craft?
Yang paling berpengaruh tentu saja URBEY (buyer). Mereka yang membuat saya berkembang sampai saat ini .. terima kasih untuk para buyer, followers, dan semua teman-teman ku, keluargaku yang serentak menjadi Fans Myurbey ^.^

6. When did you know you were an artist/maker?
Berawal dari suka membaca majalah dan mengikuti tutorial yang mereka buat, semenjak itu jadi suka buka blog crafter2 local maupun luar, daya tarik tinggi dan aku merasa aku bisa membuat nya plus menjualnya. Dari sana aku tau ,yes I'm crafter :)




7. How would you describe your creative process?
Proses kreatif itu seperti halnya sekolah. Saat masuk sekolah, banyak belajar, banyak PR, ada evaluasi, ada nilai bagus, ada nilai jelek, ada menerima raport dan ada liburan
Karena kreatifitas tidak hanya dilihat dari kita si pembuat, namun orang yang menerima dan menikmati kreatifitas yang sudah kita buat ,dan jika kreativitas kita menjadikan mereka kreatif artinya sudah mission complete ,Take and Give


8. If you could peek inside the studio of any artist, designer or craftsman (dead or alive), who would it be?
Kalau untuk crafter dari luar negeri aku fans berat Cath Kidston, dengan semua karya nya, motifnya, aplikasinya, tokonya yang mendunia, dia sangat menginspirasi dan rasanya ingin tau bagaimana di dalam studionya

Local : banyak banget ,aku bingung mengurutkannya ehhehhehe tapi yang paling aku fav adalah Nest Of Ojanto from Jogjakarta.Aku pengen banget main ke studio nya plus minta ajarin sablon pattern :p



Thank you Belinda for the answers. I'm also a fan of Cath Kidston :)
