the hungry caterpillar bibs

This was actually an order from a couple of months ago.  My college friend's daughter celebrated her first birthday in Singapore, so she requested these bibs as part of the goody bag.  I do hope these bibs become useful :).  The party's theme was "The Hungry Caterpillar".

a big boy's birthday

Before I left Bali, a rush order came...it was an order from a friend whose son is turning 7 and he does not want little children's theme goodies.  The mom likes my house pouch but asked for an owl applique and since she likes Toriq's applique, the boys got the tools kit :).  Happy Birthday, big boy!  Wishing you all the best :) and I love how these turned out

a beautiful wedding in paradise

It has always been my dream to be married in Bali...alas, it was only a dream :) but my beautiful sister in law got to realize her Balinese wedding and it was a very wonderful event.  I'd say she's the most un-bridezilla bride I've known...the most relaxed bride who took it easy when things don't always go as planned...such as the rain that made a grand entrance on her wedding decor!...your brother and I wish you a wonderful and happy marriage.  I love weddings with tear-jerker moments and it's always hard to let go of your little sister...who's been the baby in your eyes, but I know they're happy and that's all that matters :)...I have one more sister to go :) and I don't think I'm ready to let go of my youngest one just yet :).

Sewmanics made her wedding favors...they're yellow striped and blue flowers pouches but I didn't take any pictures of them due to the rain.  This was the other favor some of the out of towners received.  I have to admit we sewed the red pouches wrong! the inside was supposed to be for the outside...so it was actually inside out :'( it's supposed to be plain navy blue canvas...but it was too close to the wedding date and there's nothing we can do...sorry, Pat!

The children loved Bali as usual...they had so much fun playing with their cousins but too bad the little misfits came home with HFMD :(.  More days off from school!

toriq's fifth

Last week I have just finished an order from Sofie for her son's 5th birthday.  She ordered radio,  truck, wrench + screw driver, bag, Maryjane shoes and ballerina.  For the teachers, she ordered matroyshka pouches...I made some spoon and fork thank you tags and oven mitten tags as well....but I didn't have time to take pictures of those...We do hope Toriq had a blast on his 5th birthday!!!

penguins invasion

Last minute, Josie ordered penguin pouches for her son's first birthday...sorry, Jos...I didn't have time to make any other things...not even the penguin applique type of pouches....luckily I bought some penguin patterned fabric before...I was planning on making matching pyjamas for me and my man :).  I did manage to make a special drawstring for Ethan...a birthday gift from us to the little guy.  I hope the party is going to be a blast!

happy birthday, teach

Big M's teacher had a birthday today, so as a class, we've decided to give her something special.  I've decided to make her a big tote bag with the children's wishes and drawings for her.  Happy Birthday Ms.O .. wishing you all the best.

happy birthday, ma belle

Wishing you many happiness in life and may you grow up to be whatever your dream may be and know that you will always...always be our precious little princess :).

The Special Agent OSO party is finally over.  Last night, my cousin delivered the beautiful cake!!! I was pleasantly surprised with the result...thanks to her and her friends at Cookienary.  When Isabelle woke up this morning, I asked her if she likes the cake....and she said..."Why is it so cute, Mommy??".  Her sister wished her a happy birthday and when we came to her class this morning, she was all shy :).

Little misfit was so very shy...she didn't even want to blow her candles, but she was willing to cut her cake :)

The goody bags were of course done by us :D...assorted PJs with some snacks for each child.  I played around with my knk last night and made the children's names.  It was a lot of fun playing with knk :), it cuts like a pro...very clean and fast too...I love it :).

Assorted PJs and snacks for the children

The bento box was ordered from my meal box and I guess I was lucky Lukman was still able to receive my order :D.  I opted for the non fried foods for the children and they seriously looked good :).

Lil Misfit giving away her cupcakes and goody bags.

I love birthdays...though I will always complain during the preparations but seeing the smiles on my little princesses' faces make all the hard work worth while :).  Last night they helped me putting in the snacks into the plastic bag and they had such a blast doing so.  I still remember the excitement I used to feel during my childhood...the night before my birthday was always exciting and happy, and all thanks to my Mom :) and I am now oblige to give the same happy experience to my children...

special agent oso for misfit and my lovely knk

Tomorrow is little misfit's 3rd birthday and since her birthday never falls on holiday (LUCKY ME!), we'll celebrate it at school :)...she's been requesting a lollipop birthday, but she finally gave up on the idea and sounded happy enough to have it at school (pheeeww..).  I've been asking her many times, what sort of theme she would like for her birthday and on all of those occasions, OSO is her only answer....I've tried persuading her towards a more "princess" theme but nope...she's headstrong :).  So, OSO it is....I was looking for an OSO image on the web and there's one free invitation template from Disney Junior but the link was broken :(...so I stole the color scheme and idea and use it for Belle's invitation and gift tags.  

Gift tags and invites

My husband and I played with my latest cool toy...a KNK Maxx 24" machine...I must admit that it was HELL trying to set it up!!!!  I'm very bad at reading manuals! and after a few phone calls to their technical support, the machine was finally up and running.  Yesterday, I pestered my hubby to sit with me and read the rest of the thick manual...So far, I'm able to print and cut using registration mark....though it is still not as precise as Silhouette SD, but it is able to cut through thicker materials...such as the 220 gsm card stock for Misfit's birthday...so, overall I'm happy...I am yet to play more with it...it truly is a powerful machine...just not as user friendly as some of the plug and play machines.  I need to figure out its other functions....

pouches and bag

For a cute little girl who turned 2, her mommy ordered some drawstring pouches :)...cupcake and bird for the girls, rocket and boat for the boys :).

Alex's drawstring pouches

A good friend of ours also had a birthday and we bought her a few different things...more like May2's survival pack :)...I was trying to look for a rattan basket but didn't have time to buy one...so, I ended up making a large tote with her name appliqued on it.  It was done just in time when my ride picked me up for the ladies only party.  It was definitely a night to remember :D.

cherry apron set

About a month ago (or maybe more), my friend Diana requested an apron set for a birthday present.  Good thing she reminded me about 2 weeks ago :p, else I'd totally forgot about it.  I like the fabric combo for this set, and we've embroidered the name of the birthday girl as well :).  Happy Birthday, Alanna...happy cooking ;).
