Beaded Baby

Already find it very cute the first time I saw the beading chart of this. Finally had some time over the weekend after I finish all the card holder's order, so I made 1. And to my surprise, the final product look so cute as well! Haha~

Miura-Ken Rose Again

It's the same kind of rose like the previous one that I've posted, but with leaves & stalk. The rose look even more real after these add-ons, isn't it amazing~?

Baby Shoes

A pair of baby shoes, isn't it cute? The actual thing looks more real.. haha... I love this!

Miura-Ken Rose

This is one tough origami rose. Finally succeeded after more than 10 failures... =_= However, this is one kind that look alot like the real rose, so I'm very happy when I've finally made it! =D

Beaded Mini Horse

Saw this horse in the display cabinet when I went to buy beads 2 weeks ago. Then I remembered that I actually have a beading book that show how to make this horse. So I tried to make one last week. Amazingly... there's counting error in the beads, counting error in the instruction table and it ends after I've completed the head, body & legs!! I flip the pages a few more times only to realize that the pages that shows how to make the tail etc... was really not inside!! zzzz... Luckily I got download the complete instruction into my PC from a forum last time. The book ended up into the rubbish bin over the weekend. Luckily it cost less than $10.

Lollipops!

Hoho, my consultant bought me this GIANT size lollipop which consist of normal lollipops inside. IT'S SOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!! I took out the edible ones and re-wrap the giant lollipop again for keeping~ Haha~ I love this Giant lollipop~~~~

Heart Shaped Box

Fell in love with this box when I first saw it in a forum and was surprise that this box (base & cover) only uses 1 piece of A4 size paper! I make the big one with A4 size paper and then started to make another box with half of A4 size paper and so on. The brown color is the smallest I can go at the moment. Wonder if I can make 1 that is even smaller than the brown one? LOLx, I'll try~

Kawasaki Rose

Always find it amazing when people use a piece of paper to fold a nice rose. The name of this origami rose is called Kawasaki Rose. It look sooooooo nice when there's a lot of it in a bottle, really look like real roses! So, I tried making one, it's not really an easy job making such small one especially when I have sweaty palm. But, I finally did it! Thanks to the "Never Give Up" wordings that appear in my mind!

Pendants

2 birthday presents for 2 birthday ladies. Still busy with my cross stitch pocket tissue holder & card holder, but still must find some time to make something for the birthday ladies. =D

Umbrella Handphone Chain

A little umbrella handphone chain. As I only got one kind of length for my T-pin, hence the handle of the umbrella turn out to be a bit short. But still it turn out to be quite cute, isn't it? =D

Beaded Sheep

HOHO~ It's been some time since I last beaded. Did this from a request by one of my colleagues. I think this little sheep will be even more nice if it's in crystal? But will be expensive also.. haha.

Card Holder

My colleagues has been asking me if I know how to make a multi-slot card holder. Previously I did one small card holder for my mini debit card, so I was thinking maybe I can create what they've requested. Since 2 of the female colleagues asked me, might as well make for all the female colleagues. If it's for them, then of course definitely it must be personalized with their name. I start to draw out the arrangement of the letters on graph paper to make sure that it will look nice on the real thing before I started stitching. Oh, by the way, this card holder is made using vinyl weave (rubber kind of material), so it's more durable than Aida cloth ^-^

Pocket Tissue Holder Version 1

I realize that it's actually not easy to find a design that fits the size of the holder well... =_= Had a hard time looking for the design which is of a suitable size, flipping through the books few times. This has been sold off to my boss, who ask me to make another 10 + 2 for him. LOLX~ not bad right? =D

LV Cross Stitch Wallet

I bought this from a Hong Kong online store, it's a D.I.Y cross stitch wallet set. Found it very cute, haha~ it look even nicer when I complete the actual thing. Before I received the package via mail, I thought that the set comes with everything nicely cut into the correct shape and sizes.. but to my surprise... it's one big piece of black plastic canvas!!! And the measurements given are in "X" number of squares by "X" number of squares, I end up counting every now and then to get the correct sizes.. Duhz~ but never mind, the outcome was a satisfactory one. LoL~

Egg White Small Cakes

Hoho, this was done around CNY too, after making pineapple tarts. As pineapple tarts only need the egg yolks, hence always leaving behind a lot of egg whites. In order not to waste the egg whites as my mum seldom cook nowadays, I make some small cakes that needs only egg whites, sugar and flour. Taste like "鸡蛋糕" without the egg yolk taste..haha~

Mini Cookies

Was baking pineapple tarts for so many weeks till CNY ended. One of my colleagues says the crust of the pineapple tart was nice and she requested for the tart without the pineapple paste. Well, I did as she told, but was thinking "will the tart taste nice at the same size without the pineapple paste?" I'm also afraid that the tart will taste dry... So I decided to make the dough thinner and I took out some cookie cutters and start cutting out different shapes from the dough. Surprisingly, the cookie's taste was not bad, my niece and nephew love them! Haha~ My colleague loves it as well~

Cross Stitch Wallet

Since I'm unable to find a wallet that will meet my requirements, I think I'll just have to make one myself. I used my old wallet as a guide and cut the cloth accordingly to the size of the old wallet before I start to search for a picture that fits in the size of the wallet. The above picture is the end product of my handmade wallet, the side stitching is a little messy due to the thickness of the cloth. This wallet took me around 2 weeks to complete, tough project. However, this is my first time making a wallet, I'm still quite satisfied with it, lolx.

Valentine's Day Gift

HOHO~~~ It's again the time of the year for me to celebrate Friendship Day~!~~!~! This is the gift that my colleagues and friends got from me. Ladies got their initials in pink with black background and the guys got the blue with black background. I gave the gifts out yesterday since today is Friday the 13th =x haha~ The gift is wrap up in a translucent draw string pouch, together with a Ferrero Rocher choclate. Eh, I just think that Valentine's Day must have chocolate lah, don't know why also... think I also got influenced by the Japan's Culture ba... haha~ Though no one give me any gifts this year, but I'm very happy that they all like my gifts! Karen even use it straight away by putting it to her car key! LOLx~ SOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY~!~!

A Pouch for My NDSL

Been quite some time since I last stitch... lolx~ Did a lot of beadings recently till never stitch. Wanted to have a pouch for my NDSL which can put in all the things I need for my DS, but unable to find one that meet my requirements.... So~ I've decided to make one myself! It's not really an easy job, because this is the first time trying to sew a zip to the end product. From taking the measurements to choosing the picture to the end product, it took me around 2 weeks to complete! However, I'm quite satisfied with the end product~ now the screen cleaning cloth & the memory card can all put into the same pouch and the best thing is~ it's not a bulky pouch! LOLx~

Imagine next time the things I carry along with me are all made by me? LOLx~ Cannot imagine~ I also don't think I will be so hardworking.. haha~ But I think this will not be the first and last pouch ba.. keke~

AIA CNY Celebration

Well, since it's CNY, obviously there must be some decorations to be done in the office. After most of the decorations are done, my boss said that the wall in her room is kinda plain with just the CNY deco... And so~ I took some red packets and started to paste it onto the wall, trying my best to make it look like branches. The flowers & butterflies were added in the following days... well, I must say.. still not too bad right? Haha~


Started work on the fifth day of CNY, saw one of my friends from other Agency taking pictures, I also follow suit.. haha. I took out my Nokia handphone and started to snap pictures. The "Lou Hey" started at around 10.40am followed by lion dance around the Agencies. Our agency was a little quiet today, so I got a chance to go off early at around 5pm with my boss's approval, since in office also nothing to do......
The picture with me standing alone was taken at home with the help of my brother~ I think I had a new look this 2009 =D Must maintain~ lolx...

Baking Pineapple Tarts

Ok, since I have non-edible stuffs like God of Fortune & "Ong Lai" for CNY. Now it's time for some edible stuffs for CNY - Pineapple Tarts~~~~ It's been about 3-4 years since I last baked something because of the oven which R.I.P. So~ when the house's microwave R.I.P during Christmas, I bought an OVEN home to replace it! MUAHAHAHAHA~~~ Finally I can bake again!!!
The first thing I baked was.. pineapple tarts since CNY was around the corner. My first tray of pineapple tarts were not nice at all, the pineapple paste turn out very hard.. lolx.. guess my baking skill went rusty. However, I did not give up! After my second tray of tarts was better than the first one and the third was better than the second~ I've been baking pineapple tarts for the past few Fridays and Saturdays for my mum to give her friends.
Oh, by the way, the pineapple paste was bought off shelf and it taste great! Save the hassle of making my own pineapple paste + save time also! Haha~ I'm so happy that I can bake again!!!! Slowly I will bake more and more things.. keke~

Beaded Pineapple Charm

Hoho, since the Gods of Fortune are here for the CNY, how can we miss out "ONG LAI"!! These little "ONG LAI" handphone charm will also make us lucky lucky! =D The 10 cents beside the "ONG LAI" is for you to gauge the size of the charm~

五路财神

Previously I made only one of them, which is the red color God of Fortune. Now, all 5 of them are here! Haha, made these 5 for my parents, wish them super duper good luck in 2009 =D

Q Version of God of Fortune & Watch Belt

CNY is coming, hence God of Fortune is also along the way to bring me fortune! Haha~ Had a long time figuring out on how should I attach the head to the body. Even though I managed to get the head attached to the body, I'm also not sure whether it's the correct way.. but... who cares?! Lolx, as long as the head is nicely attached can already, right? Wakakakaka~


Yes yes~ It's the same watch. But the previous design doesn't really suits my wrist size. The first time I made it, the watch was just nice for my wrist only (can say it's tight fitting). So, I decided to lengthen it a little bit more.. then it end up too big for my wrist.. =_= Had a "long" weekend last week, came out with this design which I like it very much. However, it's a very very tedious design, I wanted to give up every now and then, because it's very tiring.... But, managed to force myself to complete it. And there it is! The sense of fulfillment was SUPER GREAT! =D

Christmas Gift for the ladies in the Office

This is the Christmas gift (other than the one for gift exchange) for the ladies in the office. I starting making these necklaces since October, and I've made 15 of them! Luckily I've started early, if not confirm cannot finish on time. Also take into account that I might not be able to find the alphabet charms that I wanted and time taken for them to re-stock. Just in time for Christmas~ The girl that sell charm can even recognize me.. haha.. can imagine how frequent I went to the store.. lolx~ I hope the ladies are happy with this Christmas gift~ Imagine the ladies in the same agency wearing the same kind of necklace, should be fun & interesting.

Talking about yesterday Christmas party. I really had a very fun time. After the food and gift exchange, we suddenly became little kids with a can of Flying Snow spray and starting chasing and spraying each other! Haha, it was so fun! One of the guy look like snowman after being attacked by us. Lolx. Will be having another celebration today~ Wishing all a MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS in advance!!! ENJOY~ Cheers~

Teddy Bear

Using 4mm Bicone beads for the yellow bear & 5mm round beads for the blue bear. The blue bear was the one in the gift exchange present. Hoho, the melody earring was hooked onto the bear's ear & the bracelet went around the neck of the bear to make it look like a scarf. Forgotten to take a picture of it. =_= My colleagues say the yellow bear look like Winnie the Pooh because of the colour. Haha.

My Melody Earrings

A pair of My Melody Earring using 1mm beads. Had a session of Christmas gift exchange yesterday. So this pair of Earring was included in the gift as well, it's an additional gift together with a bracelet & a bear. I find it very cute, thinking weather to make one for myself or not.. haha. However, after much thought, I think it should be an exclusively only for the person who receive this gift ba. ^-^ I know she will like it and she will wear it~ =D

Angel Teddy (Teddy Bear with Wings)

Based on the previous post on what I've said about the order. I finally managed to come out a teddy bear with a pair of wings! And luckily, it looks quite nice! Haha, anyway, my client was very happy with this teddy bear. Consider it as a good job done! =D I also want to make one for myself, keke. Since I will be having a long weekend, I can use it to make one Angel Teddy for myself~~~~

Mandarin Orange

A year has passed by unknowingly, very soon it will be CNY again. I went to the shop that sell beads last week and saw the boss making these mandarin oranges. Find it very nice so I stood there and "steal knowledge".. haha.. After some figuring and some information from the boss, I went home and figure the rest on myself. And there it is~ lolx.. I brought it back to the shop and let the boss see, and he said I did correctly... wakakaka.. Think my "system" (brain) is getting better every time I do something. My "system" can now capture image and key in data.. lolx..

Angel & Teddy Bear

Teddy Bear - Did this using 2mm Beads, so the bear end up kinda small, can use as a handphone chain. Did this over the weekend, was very happy over it, so I brought it to show it to my colleagues on Monday & Tuesday. However, I lost the bear after the morning meeting on Tuesday. T_T Sad arhhhhhhhh!!! Haiz... no choice but to go home and try to do another one... T_T

Angel - One of my client requested for an Angel with big wings. I search around but only to find majority of the Angels are with small wings. So I'll have to pick abit here and there for the wing and attach it to the body of the Angel. Luckily, it still look like an angel ^-^

Before I end this post.. my client end up wanting the bear but with wings attached on it. I realize my this client like to test me...

Dog with Bone

I had this friend to work in a provision shop that I frequent nearly every week after my breakfast. I decided to make something for her after she tell me that the shop will be closed down for some other purposes. I remember she like this rainbow dog when I show her all the beadings that I've done. So I decided to make one for her too but this time round, the little doggie came along with a tiny dog bone~! Since the doggie is made of 3mm beads, so obviously the dog bone cannot be bigger than the doggie right? Hence, the dog bone is made of 1mm beads. If I say I got no problem in making it, I will be lying.. LOLx.. I'm cursing and swearing while making the done bone.. because the beads are toooooooo small. However, it look very cute after completing it. =D

A Birthday Gift

This necklace killed alot of my brain cells... After making the butterfly (it's swarovski crystal), it took me quite sometime to figure out which is the best way to make it into a necklace. After much thought... it turn out to be like this... Luckily, the overall appearance still look nice~ LOLx~ If not I won't dare to give to people.

Watch

Don't be mistaken.. I only make the belt of the watch. Had a long and hard time thinking what design is better for the belt before finally decided to use this. The outcome was not too bad. However, the belt end up too long for my wrist.. guess I will have to re-do it over the weekend. Will it look nicer by using crystal? hmmx....

Bracelet Again

These are the 2 orders that I've completed and collected money liao! Haha.. These 2 bracelets are made using 2x crystals, meaning, it will really blink blink. And the cost of these crytals are more expensive that the normal ones.. LoLx, so only the customer ask for it, I myself use the normal one =x This bracelet is not cheap, because the material cost is already a bomb for my standard. Hoho~ But if you think you have no idea on what to give your girlfriend and has spare cash, this is a not a bad gift right? Keke~ Also my packaging upgrade liaoz, now come with nice boxes.. hoho~

Ring with Name

Hoho~ this ring got my name on it wor~ But... I happened to make it too big for my last finger and yet too small for my forth finger.. zzzz.. so I break apart the ring le. Will try to make it the correct size soon, so I can wear it and show off to people~ Haha~

Bracelet

This is my latest masterpiece. LOLx, fell in love with this bracelet the first time I saw it in the shop I frequent to buy beads. Consider quite long whether to learn or not to learn, because the total cost of the crystal beads for this bracelet is around $30+. Well, I end up deciding on learning it because it is toooooooooooo nice for me to reject and also unable to figure it out on my own. Haha~ the bracelet in the third picture is made using 2mm beads with a arrangement of the colours. I already got 2 orders for this bracelet liaoz. So Happy~!~!~!~!~

I made this using acrylic beads, actually it look good on its own. And I manage to modify the ending to something nicer & easier, so happy~ =D Eh, that hand is confirmed not mine, that hand belong to my lady boss.. I where got such nice hand? LOL~

My Melody 01

My Melody~~~~ cute cute mah? Only the head.. lolx.. Next time I want to try and see if I can make it with body. However!!!! It's not easy =_= I got the chart but.. it's in Japanese wordings... 看不懂~~~~~~~~ T_T Anyone know Japanese wanna help me decipher? =D

Executive Makeover - Group Picture

Finally!!!! Our executive makeover group picture is here!! Haha~ Don't we look happy?~ Wakaka, must thanks to the photographer who did a good job in making us smile till like that. It's a fun and pretty day for all of us! Hoho~

Enhancement on Slice of Cake

Hoho, this is an enhancement on the beaded cake I've posted previously. Added another small slice of cake that is suppose to be from the big slice of cake. I know, it doesn't really look like a cake now, but I'm sure as time goes on and more enhancement done on the cake, it will look more and more like a slice a cake. =D

Executive Makeover Session with Agency Team

Had an "Executive Makeover Session" with agency team last week. Hoho~ It's been such a long time since I went for a makeover session. Luckily I slim down abit liaoz~ If not the picture will look horrible I assume.. haha~ Since it was agency activity, so the team of 6 including me, took turns to makeup and take individual pictures before having the group picture taken. By the time everything was done, it was already 8 pm+ and to think that I'm one of the first batch to go in de (reach there around 2.30pm. Tiring day... It was about 10pm when I reached home. Had a hard time trying to remove all the makeup from my face. No wonder I don't like to makeup. Haha~ No wonder I dislike to makeup but also due to my face abit sensitive lah, get abit itchy after makeup.. want to scratch the face yet cannot. Most of the people think the 2nd picture look best. Of course lah! That one is with touch up! Ugly girl like me will only look nice after touch up! But this is the first time I look so professional.. haha.. like going to report news on TV like that. I think I would like to go for a wild makeover look, if there's promotion somewhere =x

Below is a conversation between me (ZE) and my dear boss (KL):

KL: Let me see your face with makeup.
ZE: Orh..
KL: Eh, you look nice with makeup, must makeup more.
ZE: Boss, this kind of look hor, long long time see once is surprise and will look nice. Everyday let you see then you will think it's normal liaoz.

LOL~ Seriously lah.. I really dislike to makeup due to my sensitive skin and laziness (yes~ I admit that, lolx~). And to spend so much money on cosmetics meant for sensitive skin? I rather spend on other things to pamper myself. =x However, what will happen to my mindset in the future, no one knows, including me, but I know that I won't do it at the moment. Wakakaka~ Sorry boss, have to disappoint you. =x

P/S: A BIG THANK YOU TO MY DEAR BOSS, KAREN LEE FOR BRINGING ME ALONG WITH THE TEAM FOR THE EXECUTIVE MAKEOVER. MUACKS!!!!

Ice Cream Sundae

Does it look like a sundae? The spoon charm I had was kinda small for this sundae, that's way I have to make one out of beads. Was struggling and killing brain cells on how to make a spoon out of beads..... zzzzz... As most of you know, I never go to any beading classes, all self study then trial and error one. So it's a difficult task to create something out of nothing ... =_= So end up.. anyhow make... ugly also no choice =_=

A Slice of Cake

Seriously speaking, when I finish making the cake without the cherry & fork, it don't look like a piece of cake to me........ T_T When I add in a piece of cherry on top of the cake, was quite amazed that it do give a different feeling, at least it look a little bit like a cake now. Without thinking too much, I complete the whole thing with a chain and a fork as decoration. I brought it out to show one of my friends, then she say want to buy, hoho~ But I gave it to her instead of selling her. ^-^ I'm happy as long as got people appreciate my work. =D

Bags 06

Another bag~ haha~ When I first look at the picture, it really look like a "grocery bag" that auntie use when they go to wet market. =x But it look kinda cute in small size~ haha~

P/S: It's been some time since the last post. Was busy struggling to understand XML & CSS style codes so I can give my blog a new look. And the struggling went on for about 2 weeks. Anyway~ at least I got my blog a new look which I call it the "Z" Design! ^-^ I'm quite satisfied with it, but think will enhance it again in the future.

Totoro - Little Black Charcoal

YES YES!!! This is the first time I figure out how to make something from a picture!!! Hahaha~ I was like keep staring and the first picture, trying to figure out how to make the black charcoal~ And there!!! Even not 100% same, but think it's 80% there liao~ Keke~

P/S: MUSHY!!! Is this ok?~?~

Star Pendant

Don't say I only make bags~ This is a star pendant. Look quite sweet, isn't it? ^-^ Oh, by the way, other then special orders, most of my products are made using Acrylic (plastic) beads. It look nice enough as long as you don't compare it side by side to crystal, lolx.

Bag 06

Wanted to upload yesterday de.. but forgot to bring my handphone out.... zzzzzz, blur blur me. Anyway, isn't this haversack cute? Haha, I like it very much. Wonder if it fits barbie doll? Haha~ will need to make one blue color for my colleague using bicone beads, wonder how it will look like.

On Sided Wing

The design is like this~not I do wrong or delibrately do 1 side only ok? LOL~ However, the wing was supposed to be in white + silver colour, but due to shortage in colour =x I made it into gold & silver. Luckily it's not to weird~ haha~think it will look nice as a necklace on dark coloured clothes ^-^
