Car themed Tissue Box Holders

Recently, i have an order for a Car Tissue Box Holder from a dear friend. She wanted it to give to someone as a Christmas Gift.

She showed me a photo of the sample & asked if I can make something similar. 

This is what I made...

And, to make it more personalised, I asked to add in the recipient's initial...:)

After I delivered it, she asked me to make another one in Red! So so happy that she loved it so much...

TQ for your orders, Elaine! :D

Friendship Dolls as Flower Fairies

I was so busy preparing for Christmas that I missed the Halloween.

Obviously, Sue, Iris, Alice & Jo were not very happy about it! We have been talking for ages that we want to dress them up in Fairies costumes!

So, they have been upset until I finally find the time to change their costumes...And, I promised them that they get to be the Fairies until after New Year! :D

In case you are wondering who is Sue, Iris, Alice & Jo, please read here...

This is the Original Dolls Collection...they are in Japanese Costume:

Sue

Iris

Alice

Jo

This is their latest costumes:

It is based on the Garden Fairy theme...the details are in their dresses...

I dressed them up based on their favorite colors as well...:)

Sue - most difficult to do. There are many parts to attach. 2-tone skirt, yellow belt, yellow ribbon, blue hair embellishments, tiny yellow & blue flowers on both the buns.

Iris - i experimented a gown-like 2-tone skirt. Not bad! I like the 2 flowrs on the waist...

Alice - her dress is flare, Marilyn Monroe type; with a blue belt & blue ribbon. The hair has many flowers...

Jo - semi flare skirt with petals. She has many tiny flowers on her waist & bun.

Each of them is unique in a way...i was also experimenting with their wings, so you can see some are bigger than the others & some are rounded while others are pointy...lol

Sue' wings are long & pointy on both top & bottom part. Iris' more rounded.

Jo's wings are oblong where else Alices' are rounder & fuller.

Personally, i love Alice's wigs the best...:D

Hm...seriously, without the wings, they look more like the Princesses, don't you think so?

These cuties are available for sales. They make perfect Christmas gifts too! :D grab yours before they are gone...

Xmas Present Exchange Party 2014

So, after completed all the boys' toys i can think of (the cars & the airplanes), Constantine told me he wanted to give his friend Damien a Blue Bear...hm...

A bear? To a 9 year old boy? I seriously don't think he will appreciate it...:D

So, instead of a bear, I've decided to make a car keychain/bag charm instead...not the cars that I've made as those are too big to be a keychain/bag charm.

Here's what I made at the 11th hour, this is by far my most stressful project ever as I was also rushing for the backlogs I have for the Xmas Bazaar next week. This car took no longer than half an hour, but the cross stitch was the killer...the cross stitch & stitching took me more than 3 hours to complete!

Completed product:

The car with button wheels...:D

This is how it will look like on the backpack or school bag...:)

Pretty cool huh, i think it is much better than a blue bear for a boy...lol

Oh, this pattern is inspired from the original pattern, but not exactly the same as i motified the back part of the car...you can find the original pattern here: http://www.lookatwhatimade.net/crafts/yarn/crochet/free-crochet-patterns/tiny-crochet-car-crochet-pattern/

Daniel & Kitty went for a Walk

Daniel wanted to go for a walk...he waited for Kitty to get ready.

And waiting...

Still waiting...

Finally! Kitty is all ready in her Red dress!

She looks all glamourous & stunning!

Both of them took a we-fie before the walk...since both are dressed up! See how they look into each other's eyes...so sweet & loving...

After the photos, Daniel suggested to go left but Kitty wanted to go right...

Not wanting to start a fight, Daniel is ready to go right, while Kitty is ready to go left, where Daniel wanted to go initially...

As they can't decide where they want to go, they started to argue...and both got angry...

Then, they decided to go where they wanted to go...Daniel to the left & Kitty to the right...

After they part ways, they walk & walk & walk...finally they reached to their destination...

To their surprise...they arrived at the same place!

They reached DWP shop, wanting to get each other a gift!

How sweet...

The Expression Bears Bag Charms/Keychains

After the launch of the Expression Bears yesterday, I have made them to be Bag Charms/Keychains so that we can bring them along everywhere we go...

Here's the Bag Charms/Keychains:

1) Love, the Red Bear

Needless to say, based on her name, I definitely have to add a heart shaped charm on it...

2) Warmth, the Orange Bear

Isn't it a heart warming smiley emoticon...love the big grin...

3) Joy, the Yellow Bear

What would you do when you are happy? You dance to the music of course!

4) Balance, the Green Bear

The star has 5 points. It represents health, wealth, family, friends & self...if you have balance in all 5 areas, you are well balanced!

5) Peace, the Blue Bear

Dove is the universal symbol for peace. Hence I added a dove. Not sure if it looks like one...LOL...but it looks cute!

6) Faith, the Indigo Bear

Faith is when you believe, when you hope...I added a Four Leaf Clover to Faith, so that it brings you more luck & confident.

7) Passion, the Purple Bear

Passion is all about pursuing one's dream. The flower is my signature flower that I first made when I decided to pursue my dream, hence, I added it to Passion so that everyone has the courage to pursue what they dream of!
