New Home YAY!!!
Hello fellow bloggers and all the people who visit my blog,
Happy News!! I just bought a new home and will be away from blogging for a few weeks till I finish unpacking and setting up my home.
Thank you all for finding me and please do check back soon.
Tea wallet or Card Wallet...
I have been very busy this week making stuff for the craft fair in my local farmer’s market. When I found this cute kittens fabric I was sure I wanted to make a wallet with it. I am planning to make many more of these for the stall.
This is how it looks when you close the flap. 
Just perfect to fit any bag. :)
Little Girl's Apron.
A very sweet lady from Etsy asked if I could make a smaller version of the Apron I made earlier with Alexander Henry's Apples and Pears fabric which is posted here .
It's a christmas gift for her daughter and I hope she loves it.
Apron with Alexander Henry's Apples and Pears fabric!!
Yay!! Finished sewing one more apron!!
I made this with Alexander Henry's {As the title says ;)} Apples and Pears in Blue with some Red polka dot fabric and a lovely white ric rac and added ruffles to the pocket with gingham fabric.
All these colors are going to look gorgeous in any kitchen!!

Apron with vintage look fabric.
Just a sneek peek of another Apron I finished yesterday.
 The divided pockets are at the bottom of the Apron skirt.
I added these pretty buttons for adjusting the size of shoulder straps.

The Finished Product!!
One more item for the stall - check...
Yay!! I finished the apron I sketched yesterday. Check here to see the sketch.
I love the way it looks. I changed a few details from the sketch. I made the shoulder ties longer to make it adjustable for all sizes. So I had to drop the idea of the side bow as it was looking bulky on the shoulder. I added 2 D rings instead. Also, I changed the neck a little from square to a kind of semi-sweetheart style.
  I will be adding this to my Etsy shop soon. :)
Designing Aprons...
Boy!! just realised it's been a long time since I sketched something. Whipped this up in a moment of inspiration... Hang in there to see how it turns out on fabric. Off I go to the cutting table now. :)
Pouch/Purse
A pouch for cosmetics, or if you’re like me, you can just dump everything else into it except cosmetics. :-)
I have this strange habit of carrying tons of stuff in my bag, like potty liners, bottles of sanitizer, lizol wipes, stapler, glue, folding scissors, a color wheel, and shopping bills for the past few years, hand cream, sunscreen, two pairs of sunglasses... too big a list. No wonder all the bags in my closet are big. I hardly have any small handbags.
How do people manage with small bags? Go figure…
Apron for little people...
Target 1: One more item for the the stall. CHECK.
A Reversable girls apron with a cute little pocket and contrast gathers at the bottom .
I made this apron with Alexander Henry's Fabric Collection. The fabric color on one side is cream (first snap) and the color on the other side is biege (the next 2 photographs). (Though the photographs do not do justice to how the colors really look).
PS: (Thank you Miss A for sparing your time for the photo session though you were busy practicing patio skating).
A pin in the hair and a pin in the Cushion…aka a Patchwork pincushion and a few fabric hair clips.
For the past two days, I was buried among piles of fabric, running around between my cutting table & sewing machines and trying to make more things than my hands can manage. (Did I forget to mention the wrist brace on my right hand? Hope it does not turn out something serious. Huh...). Here is the output of this effort and a few more are on the way. I am just whipping up a lot of items for the store.
I will surely keep posting more if I can remember to take a picture when the sun is still up. As of now I just could capture this picture in my camera. By the time I made other stuff it is already dark and the lighting at my home is not great for a pic.
Blog Anniversary! YAY!!

Time flies!!! it is already been a year since I started blogging. In this year, I learned from, shared with and got inspired by all my fellow bloggers.
Thanks to everyone who visit my blog and encourage me with their thoughtful comments. Every day when I see the increasing number of profile visits, I really feel so grateful to God, all my friends and family, and for each and every one of you who made the path I choose a success.
I hope to keep blogging for many more glorious years ahead. There is far too much wonderful information to share and to learn.
Thank you all so much.

Glass painting with Miss. A
Miss. A wanted to learn painting and so I decided to teach her with a few basics. I asked her what she wanted to paint and she said " Glass"!
With just little help from me, she learnt very fast and did an awesome job. I am so proud of her. :)
An Apron for a Friend..
Sometimes it is just so difficult to finish some projects. It’s not about the time it takes to finish the job, but it’s mostly about not having enough inspiration and enthusiasm.
Among one of those unfinished projects was an Apron I promised to make and finally it is done. YAY!!
This is the first Apron I made and what I love most about it is, it took far less time than I expected. I gifted it to a friend and she loved it!
Pillowcase Dress
Today was Miss A’s last day at Elementary school. She will be a 1st grader starting week after next. So I decided to make a “quick” Pillowcase dress for her.
Here is how it turned out.
Have a great long weekend!
50th post and a pair of Scissor Holders!!
Yay!! This is my 50th post. I am so happy.
I just could'nt spend time on my sewing machine for the past 2 months, relocating - settling down and then just wandering around the new city. Tired days are not exactly great to get motivation to sew. Life is definetely moving in fast forward.
I finally made a couple of scissor holders yesterday.
I used up some of my fabric scraps to make these. I printed a motif on the big scissor holder with some fabric paint and I hand sewed the lace to the bottom fabrics to prevent the scissors from falling out.
Farmer's Market Part 2.
Some more pics of this huge market. I have never been to such big market in Bay area for sure.
