Some Fabrics to let go

My fabrics collection has grown up to 3 containers, it is time to clear and let go some of them. Posted some at Flying, more will come. These fabrics are Japanese cotton, have been selected with care and love, all of them are my favourite.

Recently while spending time in making soap, I still keep up with handmade bag. Remember to check out the bags that just posted on Flying recently.

SunShine - a bright and colorful tote. She is big enough to carry books, magazines and papers

SlingBag in Green (Sold) - she is made with Japanese cotton and linen.

SlingBag in Rose - you will sure want to own this.

Tote in Polka Dots Olive - made with lovely polka dots fabric, this is a 4in1 bag, means you will have 4 different desgin in one bag, check out the pic.

Happy Woo Hoo

Wish everyone a healthy and prosperous Tiger Year

ReOrganizing

In the Corporate world, ReOrg is very common, it happens in every 3-6 months. Today I
decided to reorg "The Life of Flying", want to give her a new look. While reorganizing the blog, I was reading through all the old posts I had in the last 4 years, it brings back all the memories, crafters I met and all the items I had made/met. All are sweet memories :) I'm glad that I recorded all them in the blog. THANK YOU to all the people who supportted me, encouraged me and gave me the opportunities.

福袋 (‘Fu Dai’)

Chinese New Year is around the corner, 5 more weeks. Guess everyone is busy with the preparation. Another Big Celebration

Would like to introduce this simple and back to the basic designed Tote bag – 福袋 (‘Fu Dai’)
The main is the Chinese character at the center – 福 means Good Luck (pronounce as ‘fu’). As you can see, the character is being sewn upside-down, means 福到 (Good Luck came). This is the wonderful of Chinese character.
The bag is made with unbleached cotton and I sew the edge with red thread, this helps to brighten the whole bag. It can be used to carry the mandarin oranges which you bring to visit your relatives during Chinese New Year (CNY). It also brings a very good meaning – you are bringing Gold (mandarin oranges) and Good Luck (福袋 – the bag) to your relatives and friends. Good stuff need to share with everyone.

Check out how to bring home the 福袋 at Flying




You can also find the 福 character only at Flying. You may use it for any purpose, be innovative. It is made in fabric, so can last for long(years).

Hope you enjoy!

Something which makes your Yoga practices more fun and colorful.

No-Brand yoga mat towel. For everyone who practice yoga, you would love to have one Yoga mat towel. Now is your best time to have one at the most reasonable price. The quality is as great as those branded. Check out more information at Flying .

Choco is 100% cotton with Big Tropical Leave printing. She has the most trending color combination : chocolate + skyblue.

SunShine is not new in Flying, she is returned due to high demand. Must not miss ;)

I have started the Soap Making since Sept. Still not "finding" time to post the progress. But I would like to say it is a true fun. I started to sell some of the soap at LPSM yesterday and the respond was very good. I have made 2 kinds of soap - Goat Milk and Carrot. I think I will continue with Goat Milk, as it is really a good soap. Still working on the nice packaging and photos.

Manage to finish 4 bags during this long holiday, these bags are reserved for the Charity sales in Nov. Need to start to build the stock now :)

Welcome my new machine, it is also my birthday gift from hubby. thank you!

This one has more function compare to the previous one and it is semi-auto as well. I love it.

I will use it to work on the bags for the upcoming charity event in Nov09. It arrives on the right timing.

Completed these cute and vintage key holders 2 months back, only manage to upload them into Flying now. Hope you enjoy it! It is the key holder which help you to keep your keys in stylist way.

Good bye to my machine, she has accompanied me for 3 years (July 2006), she had sewn many many bags (lost count). She is still in excellence condition, I sold her to a friend and I want to get an upgraded machine. I missed her.

Last week I decided to start with this new project. I love the color so much, very brave, sharp and bright. This is also the color my body needs the most (for my throat and third eye Chakra).

I have been slowing down a lot in my handmade since Feb. I usually juggle my weekend between Handmade and Yoga. In the last 2 months I was tied up with series of Yoga activities, from Kids yoga workshop to Twee Merrigan workshop then follow by 2 TPCs, at the same time making progress to recover from the detox. I wish I could have more time for my handmade and yoga. Looking forward to the day :)

Few months back, I attended a gathering where I saw a lady carry Charlotte. I was so happy, this is the first time I met my product after they were sold. Charlotte looks so special and pretty among the bags that other ladies carry. I did not introduce myself to this lady as it is not important, I can see that she likes the bag so much. This is the satisfaction for handmade.

I was so happy when I found this parcel at my doorstep today. After long waiting for 6 weeks, it finally arrived. I even started to pray for it since last week.

Christa is so thoughtful, she has put the fabric in the zip lock bag so that it won't get dirty/wet. Yesterday was raining heavily and the fabric was well protected :) She also have a short note for me as the first order was not arrived. Thank you Christa.

These are the 3 pieces of Amy Butler fabric I have ordered. I have been longing for AB fabric all this while and now I finally have them :) Will use them wisely. a blouse? a bag? a pouch? ....... so many things I can make. They will keep me busy for a while.

I'm so glad to see we have more and more Malaysian sellers on Etsy. When I started with Etsy, we have only 4 Malaysian sellers and the sales were poor. Looking at the newly start-up stores and doing so well. This tell us that, Online Shopping is "happening" in Malaysia.
