more on sewing

Today, Jess made this cute bag from a fabric she bought in Japan last year.  I must say it's pretty nice :)....a simple bag, nicely proportioned and just the right size :)

Jess' bag #2

Then from the bag, she made a scrunchie while Rub made a flower pouch, but the fabric she used was too thick...hence the hat on M's head :p.  I'm just happy they're hooked on sewing :).

a toast to tinder tinker

My sister (Stephanie), her husband (David Getty) and their best friend (Matthew Jacobs), won another price from Holcim Foundation!  We're very proud of you.  It's the same project they used for Shim Sukkah.  They've won second place and it was awarded in DC a couple of weeks ago.  David also won a local design contest in Duluth, MN....I haven't got any pictures of his winning design, though.  Good job, peeps!

happy halloween!

I had a lot of fun preparing little things for our Halloween party yesterday.  I was looking for bowls big enough to hold candies...and decorated them with my knk-cut cards :D.  No, they're not originally designed by me...I actually bought the designs from Silhouette SD and traced over it...I think I should be able to replicate most of them next time for my KNK software.  I stayed up really late cutting these cute little creatures :D but I had so much fun!  I'm looking forward to our Christmas party next :D.  Chia and Ana did a marvelous job decorating the Halloween table and the children definitely had so much fun.  Misfit waited impatiently for the magic show...because she wanted a fish!  So fish, she got :).

Various things cut using knk :D

Chia made the Strawberry Shortcake Dress for her daughter, Caramel apples by Chia, Cupcakes
Cake pops, assorted chocolates with my decorated plate, chocco cinnamon rolls by Chia
The Candy Halloween Table, Misfit participated in magic show

walk like an egyptian

On Tuesday night, my old one asked me before falling asleep about her UN Day costume...where's my costume, Mommy???  Have you made it??? My friends are going to wear a crown with many accessories..so I panicked...I was just going to make something simple for her...and kinda ran out of ideas :P...So, came Wednesday and I was busy googling.  Yesterday I stopped by Pasar Mayestik and bought a few gold ribbons!  Last night, everything was done beautifully :).  I must say I love her costume :)  She wore it confidently and her class' dance was so funny...I kept laughing....after the show, we had snacks from all around the world.  A kind mom from Big M's class was in charge of the mini kebabs and mini samosas...they're really good :).  There was an Australian mom who brought sausage rolls...yuummm...I guess next stop in Christmas :).

I love the girl wearing the red costume...she definitely stood out :)
