Update - Past Month

I've been out and about trying to get creative on how to get beyond just making simple bows for ya'.

TEXTILES
Earlier this month, I went to Hong Kong and visited a lot of textile vendors.  It was so much fun seeing all the stuff that they carry there and how the business is done.  I came back with lots and lots of fabrics that i'm very excited to use.

SOFTIES
I mentioned about my latest softie obsession in a recent post.  In addition to the bird, i've made a fish...voila!

Fish Softie - Made to Order

It actually took me quite awhile because I was trying to coordinate various fabrics and completely design it on my own.  I'm not stocking the softies, but if you like, i'll be happy to make them for you.  Just drop me a line.


THERAPEUTIC PADS
When i participated in the MAAD event early last month, a woman came by my booth and asked if i could make large versions of my rice-filled toss bags.  She was in need of them for therapeutic use, as heating pads for her arm.  Well, why not?  So i made two of these, in two different sizes, with a little 'pillow case' to go with each.  These are SGD50 per set, if interested.

OPEN HOUSE
And as seen in previous post, i'm gearing up for another open house.  This one will be at the Aalto Condo on East Coast (Singapore).  So East Coast dwellers, no excuses.  I'm coming to YOU!

ROSES
I like to bring something new to each open house that i do, so here's a teaser of something unseen...roses!

Fabric Roses

I'm thinking that they may look nice on headbands or some small little clips?  I'm working on another product as well.  Will post photos of that once i get more completed.  

RESEARCH & LEARNING
And finally, i've been on major research mode.  Was wanting some Scandinavian inspiration and went and bought myself eight Scandi home and living magazines in one go.  I've also been to the book store to do some browsing and came away with some fabulous finds.  And for further learning, i signed up today for some art courses to really try to hone that creative side.   Hopefully all this will equal more fun stuff to be seen on Sealy T.  

Love,
