Time Consuming Xmas Present Part 2

This is more time consuming than Part 1. The big cardholder took me about a day to complete one, smaller one can be done like within 1 hour provided that the vinyl weave has already been cut into required sizes. Cross stitching presents are actually cheap but the workmanship can cost a lot as not all have the patience to complete it. Half of it shown here was for my siblings and their S.O. Hope they are happy with their presents too. And of course, the kids got 1 of their favorite angry bird each. Glad even the young ones appreciate my hard work.

Time Consuming Xmas Present Part 1

Started late on preparing Xmas gift this year due to renovation and I cannot find my materials!! But nevertheless, I still managed to complete these gifts for colleagues. I hope all are happy with the present though it's not any expensive stuffs. ^-^

Beaded Teddy Bear Instructions

Disclaimer: I'm not the author of whatever instructions that I will be posting here. I just want to share some great beading instructions to beading fans out there. A lot of people has been asking me for this bear instruction, so I think I should share.

Anpanman aka 面包超人

A Japanese cartoon character. Seriously, the time when I really get to know this character is when one of my friends ask me to make this for his daughter! Gosh... Think I'm old already. So I went to search around for Anpanman's picture online, and I made this. Glad that his daughter love it ^-^ When people receive my product with happiness, it makes me even more happier! I also search around in Youtube for the cartoon and I agree with my friend that the cartoon is cute.

Angry Birds Family & Enemy

Yes!!! Finally got a set of Angry Birds and of course their enemy! Haha! All the angry birds are of similar sizes as it will be given to my niece, nephews as gift. If they are of different sizes, I think the kids will quarrel, lol. It's about 4cm to 6cm big, not very small but good enough to hang on bag. Takes me about half a day to complete 1 piece, I'm not a fast stitch-er, so it's patience and passion that made me complete every single piece. ^-^

Angry Birds with my toy "DanDan"

That brown colour toy is a Danboard, I call it DanDan, it is my model too~ for my handicraft products. I manage to make 1 yellow angry bird~! After I finish the yellow one then I realize that the red Angry Bird is so much bigger when it came from the same cross stitch series. Gosh, I'm still not so powerful to draft out my own cross stitch chart, but still I think it's cute. =x

Angry Birds

This is the first Angry Birds I made. Nowadays kids are being brainwashed by angry birds, any kids with ipad or iphone in the family will know this bird. They can even tell you which colour of Angry Birds they like. So, I try to find the chart and make for them as part of their Christmas gift. Had to start early as I need to make 2 Yellow, 1 Red & 1 Black Angry Birds and 7 other handmade stuffs for family. Hope can finish on time with the fact that my house is renovating and everything is in a mess... =_=

Smurfs

Went to watch The Smurfs Movie and it really bring back alot of memories!! So I went online and search for the cross stitch chart and I made these! Papa Smurf, Smurfette & Clumsy Smurf! This is a 2 sided cross stitch, look like a mini cushion =D

Cardholder/Small Wallet Version 2

Different design as this name has more characters. Took me around 3 days to make this, need to cut the vinyl weave, create the design for cross stitching plus placing it all together. Not very difficult except the designing part. So, which design do you prefer? =D

Cardholder/Small Wallet Version 1

Design this using a Mont Blanc Cardholder as a sample. Slightly bigger in size.

Cross Stitch wallet 4

First time making a long wallet using vinyl weave. Bought the package from Gmarket, and started the project around 2nd week of July. Took me about 3 weeks to complete, not easy.. as about 3/4 of the wallet surface need to be stitched. However, the vinyl weave and thread are of good quality. Worse of all, I realize I forgot to sew the button to close it!!! ZZZZZ... only to realize this after I finished sewing all the pieces of vinyl weave together... sotong me! However, I'm still happy with the end product! =D Might be making another long wallet soon.. =D

Cross stitch wallet 3

Completed this last weekend, like this design, think the color combination from the DIY kit is nice too. Gave this to a friend. =D Now starting another project on making long wallet!!! Hope to finish soon =D

Pompompurin Look-A-Like

Didn't realize this little thing's name is Pompompurin till my friend told me.

Twisted Bracelet

Love this design and so I tried making one. The colour combination turns out so sweet!!! Oh Gosh! Cannot imagine it~ haha.. Like wearing candy around my wrist like that. Fits most average size wrist. Nice design I must say =D

Beaded Eeyore

This Eeyore is a killer~! Took me half of the day to complete it not counting the time when I did 1/4 and gave up cause it's complicated! I re-beaded a lot of times! I think the 2nd time will be better, also will use a lighter colour for the nose & stomach. Did a Tigger-lookalike, now Eeyore.. so must find a cute Winnie the Pooh. I did Piglet before, but I lost the photo, will find time to do again. =D Next time will take photo of the whole "family". Hee hee~

Clay Lesson on 23 of April

Went for my 2nd clay lesson after quite some time, and this time round I've learn to make fruits using Japanese clay. It's fun~! I bet I will go for a third time! Haha~ Above is my masterpiece of the 2nd lesson, can't really control the colour well yet as colour is added into the clay and not colouring it after it hardens. As teacher says the colour will get darker when it dries, I don't dare to add too much of the colour, so the colour is a bit off. But I believe I will get better! =D

MyPaper

YES!!! This is the second time my masterpiece was published in MyPaper. I uploaded my masterpiece on http://showtime.omy.sg/ under "MyPassion" column and the editor picked mine to be published! That's it~ it's free and I don't even know it was published until my friend told me about it. Will there be a third time? =D

Flower Pendant

This can be a pendant or earring. I did the grey one first as a birthday gift for my friend. Did the black one a week later for fun, then realize the black one actually look better because of the contrast. Should have made a black one for my friend too =( But already given to her.. cannot take back. Hope she like it =D

Heart Within a Heart

I start beading at around 9pm, finish at around 12am!! This design was suppose to be a brooch, but I modified it to be a necklace. The one I saw in the shop was made with crystal, ultimately nice & blink blink! However, it will be too ex if I were to make it in crystal, so this is acrylic beads, but I think it's just as nice. =D

The Year of Rabbit

This is an order of 10 Pineappls & 10 Rabbits for sale during the CNY festive season~ I love this arrangement~ I think it's cute~ haha~ Look like some nice dishes on a plate.. keke

When the Big & Small Rabbit meet. =D
