I'm back from Bangkok

Finally I'm back from Bangkok. Flight delay due to the bad weather. The whole journey of the plane was abit scary when the plane shake a few times due to the wind (I guess). I was very tired and sleep thru the whole journey back. Reach home at 3++ am.

I was wanted to take another day leave, but I receive a sms from my boss asking me to come to work tomorow. I thought it was something urgent and I drag myself out of my bed at around 7am at the same day I arrive. I was very tired and reach home around 2pm. Have lunch and just went to bed.

Maybe of the tiredness and it always rain, I got a flu again at saturday morning. Dam~~ I got 3 times of flu for the past 2 months. Just don't understand why. Maybe I need to change my lifestyle, sleep early, don't stress too much, go for some yoga or exercise and eat my vitamins daily.

I think I will pull out my participation of 2 coming craft events on May. I don't want to stress myself in producing crafts as I think crafting is a time to relax and to enjoy. Not to stress out myself, thinking will someone buy my things or not. Once I start to rush, I tend to work until late nights and there my flu come again~~

I think health is really important for me at this moments.

Sorry for the gambling~` Will upload some nice picture to show you all from my Bangkok trip~~

Bangkok here I come

I am leaving for Bangkok and Pattaya from 29 Mar to 2 April. Mainly for vacation. Mostly for shopping~~ I heard there are many cheaps things to buy at Bangkok. Just a break for myself and searching more inspiration from Bangkok.

Blythe dress #2

My second attempt on sewing blythe doll dress. Got that online tutorial here: Blythe A-line Dress. It is kinda hard to sew her neckhole and arm hole in a small dress using the sewing machine. So I decided to handsew both parts. Just one small shortcoming, I didn't have a string color to match with the polka dots green and the white color thread become so obvious on the green fabric.
I have added some love buttons on the side of the dress. I added a lacely inner layer in her neckline as she looks too sexy with only the dress on. I have also sew a matching hair pin and a small sling bag for her. I love to do small bags together with my dress. Her hair is getting more and more messy. I do not have a comb to help her comb her hair. Will need to have a hair wash session one day soon.

Birdy pouch

Thanks for all the warm wishes on the previous post. I rested alot and getting more well. I tell myself not to sleep too late at night, but sometimes it still not controlable when my hands are crafting~

This birdy pouch i made on and off last week. The pouch is made from plain cotton linen. It is a bird in it's cage with leafs besides. I use felt and handsew them on the pouch. Added some lace trim on it. Inner linning is in polka dots green. Nice~
Me and my housemate start to cook for dinner starting last week. It is fun, funny and exciting. I always forgot to snap pictures on what we cook!~

Dizziness

Nothing much to write this week. As I'm sick again, from flu again~~ This time abit serious where fever came along. Been sleeping alot and resting alot. I didn't make any thing this week and spend most of my time in bed. Hope to recover soon. Before my trip to Bangkok.

Blythe in Kimono/Yukata

After 3 nights of scratching heads of the Japanese tutorial. I finally complete her first dress - Kimono/Yukata. I was abit lazy on sewing the waist band. I took some ribbons, golden strings, yarns, beads and make them in the shortest time. It's worth while to keeping all those things and I could find everything I want from my stash. When I was doing her waist band, my lovely housemate took her and starting to set her hair for me~. I couldn't wait until the weekends where I can take pictures on sunny days. I just want to dress her up and snaps photos of her.

Here is her her kimono/yutaka. I made her a small matching pouch for her to carry around. I didn't manage to make or buy any shoes for her.

She looks beautiful in every angle of the shooting.

Making her clothers is kinda addictive. Omg~~ I need to stop thinking of her and concentrate on doing more crafts for the coming event.

Enjoy~

Forrest pouch

Make this last weekend. I always love greeny stuff. Makes me think of eco-friendly, save the earth thingy. Both of the fabric match well. (Noted: the pouch is in dark green, not sure why it looks like dark brown on the photos.)
I added some cotton trim to seperate 2 different fabrics. I love the forrest fabric which consist of beautiful prints of flowers, mushrooms, trees, squirels and apples. It is linned with green polka dot fabric inside the pouch.

I'm thinking of keeping it for my own~~ Hehe~

Blythe Gathering @ Pavilion

Well, it was just a coincidence that there is a blythe gathering 1 week after I brought my Friendly Freckles. Chirsty, the organizer told me that their gathering outfit was kimono or yutaka 3 days before the gathering. The tutorial was in Japanese and it was really a headache to read those japanese words. I try sewing them at saturday evening (last minute), but gave up after 2-3 hours. (I have under estimate the complexity of sewing her dress~ ). I have manage to complete mine yesterday. Will update later.

First time I attend this type of gathering. Was excited. They are a group of blythe lovers, friendly and nice. Here are all the dolls from 9 of us. Omg~~ that alot!~


These 2 dolls silver color dolls was from the only guy at the group. I kinda hook on those silver colors dolls. Looks so elegant. He sew his doll clothes too.

My doll joinning the gang of Kimonos. Some made their kimonos and some brought them.

The pink one does attract us all~~ well it s a limited doll which are not sell at here. She got it from Singapore.

They are just use to grabbing nice shots and posting their dolls. There is a place of decorations on the restorans and they just post their blythe and start snapping pictures. I join them and snaped some beautiful dolls too.

Spoted this sweet lady on the most left hand corner of the row.

I love her dress, heard she brought from a Thailand seller.

It was a plesent afternoon. We share ideas, thoughts, way to change and dress their dolls. The more I look at them, the more love and like that I feel for this dolls.
