Challenge Day 103 - My Creative Space

It has been quite happening in My Creative Space since Challenge Day 100 or day before. First, I upgraded my blog's domain name...then I have a new header banner.

To celebrate the successful of reaching my Challenge Day 100. I have decided to mark the day by launching my Etsy store. I knew about the price of listing but I do not understand how come took me so long to find the courage to list and sell my masterpieces online. So, I was and still overwhelming about the status where I am. Only thing is that I have to list more!

Below are one of the work I have been mucking around..which I will list them on Etsy very soon.

Showing you some Work In Progress' work...still some tweaking to be done though...

Thank you for all the lovely suggestion on what should I do with this hand printed fabrics which I made awhile back at My Creative Space last week. So I have decided to have a go by utilizing one of them on making a few 'element' since the fabric prints is on an odd size.

This is what I have came up with... Element #1

The Rubber Carving Block Fabric prints

A handmade picture frame which I did a long time ago....

The End result of Element #1

Not sure do I like the end result but at least I gave it a go. That's what creation is all about. :)

Alright. Enough of me now... ;) Head over to Kirsty's place for more creative talents lovely people out there... Here wishing you a Happy Thursday everyone! :)

Challenge Day 74 - Wandering Day (Long Post)

My day was filled with heaps of waiting and waiting. First up I had at least 2 hours (because I don't have a car) to spare wandering around at nearby shopping district where my schedule check up from the clinic. Was really restless honestly! So I went into this op shop and found this fabrics. Mr Minzy thought it was bit granny. But I like the bright color and could be good for my next soft toy making project! What do you think of them?

So after the restless and walking around in that district and am done with my appointment with the midwives team. I headed to the train station....ok, preggie woman cannot run cuz the train just arrived and I was still walking across the road..nvm... I waited for the next train to come.

Then I headed to this particular bank in the city as I needed to sort certain things with them. Poor customer service and was waited there for many minutes and the bank people just walking up and down and no one ask me if I was look after. I am considered new customer with them. The reason I have an a/c with them is due to there's no monthly fee. Crap service I have to say. Guess how I resolve my OWN matter? By using their phone speaking to the call centre after waited for 40 mins in the bank. So you be wrong to assume you could get a face to face customer service. Not anymore! Shame on you!!

So waited and wasted my time..and I thought I should get moving before my 2 hours tix is running expire. I hopped onto one of my train. Trust me, I saw my bus arrived just when my train arrived at the stop I have to hop off. I did not know that the bus had decided to make a U-turn and drove and parked at the traffic light and ready to go (there was still 2 minutes to go). How can you expect passengers to run after the bus like those young kids after school? Aren't they insane? So due to it was the first time hopping onto that train. Didn't know the way they operate like that (I see now). I had to sit there and sweat over if the bus ever arrive before my tix is expire. Anyways, it worked out I was ok.

We were out for our weekly social group after dinner last night. Don't get me wrong. The group has always been a supportive lovely people. But I just wasn't very chatty as I usually do. I just felt - Just leave me alone. All I wanted to do that night was to sit back and relax and chill on my couch...and not talking to anyone...and DO NOTHING.

I now understand how Mr Minzy felt. Due to his nature of his work, he had to deal with "different kind" of people at work everyday. Unlike me, just had to deal with computer, graphics & ideas, ex bosses in the past. No wonder he came home sometime and needed his peaceful mind while sipping his coffee for his "ME TIME".

Upholstery Project #2: Dining Chair

Another set with different fabrics from Ikea

I had to have a little whinge about this dining chair! It wasn't easy to upholstery this set compared to the previous set. Cuz there is metal pieces right at the centre of the back rest and it just couldn't screwing/drilling into the right position.

Anyways, glad that it's all over now! =)

Challenge Day 9 Pt II: Rubber Carving Block

I am finding it hard to focus on sticking on my 3 months challenge as my energy is running low today. I guess I have come to the point where I have to make a decision quick on deciding which printer and a scanner to purchase. Honestly, I am dying to have my etsy store to be launch.

So this is what I have decided to give it a go. You are looking at the Rubber Carving Block. It is my first time carving on the rubber block. Felt like a big rubber/eraser. I need to get more variety colors as I only have red fabric color in stock.

Upholstery Project: Dining chair

Before

After

I bought this fabrics from Ikea for a very long time. Didn't get the chance to upholstery one of our dining chair since we were busy painting our pad. It is all coming together nicely now...finally. :)

I didn't realized I have flipped the fabrics upside down for the chair seat cushion until the moment when I wanted to upholstery it. Haha. Anyways, this was my first attempt and am quite happy with the result. Only thing it left a bit of soreness on my right palm. Can't really do much when you only have such limited strength and am 22wks pg as well. ;)
