A month has already passed since the new year. How was your January? I hope it went pretty well as a good start for the next months. So here is a February calendar wallpaper for you. I hope you'll love it :)

As you can see, I currently have a serious crush on brush lettering. Since I saw this video, I've set one of my new year goals is to practice brush lettering. It's so exciting! You can see the results on this month desktop calendar and earlier. And also on my instagram. Not good enough cause I'm still learning and practicing to find my own style. I think I'll share more about this new hobby in the next post.

Hope you have an amazing week!

Cheers,

Welcoming January

Hope you enjoy this new monthly calendar from me. I'm so sorry there's no freebies calendar on last month, I was busy for another craft event. The biggest art & craft event in my country (even in South East Asia, they said), but I quite disappointed for that event. Ah, I'll tell you about that later, on the next post I guess. Finally, I hope you enjoy your last month in 2014. 30 more days heading to 2015 !! :)

Have a bless bless bless month everyone!!

Currently Loving : Noisli

2014-06-12T12:07:00.000+07:00

I'm absolutely in love with this site! Noisli is background noise and color generator website and application for working and relaxing. It allows you to choose different background sound to play. You can also play multiple sounds at the same time. As a rain-person, the sound of rain and thunderstorms with a slight water stream is the best for me. For those of you who want a quiet and breezy atmosphere in the midst of Monday madness you can choose forest or seaside. And for you who work from home, the coffee shop is a great choice to get rid of the loneliness. Try it out and enjoy! :)

Crafty Days #8

2014-02-17T11:16:00.000+07:00

As I promised to you in some previous post, I'll share the pics and some stories from the first event I've joined. That was an amazing event for craft and handmade enthusiasts like me! There a lot (did I say a lot? I mean LOTS!) of cool and stunning handmade goods sold in the craft bazaar. Not only craft bazaar, Crafty Days #8 also held some handmade workshop for kids and adults, craftpreneur group discussion, and music performance.

I shared the booth with my friend, Rere and Gina from Kanigara (they sells some pouch and pillow from illustration-printed fabric) and my best-friend Achie from BloeiHandmade (she sells necklaces and bracelets from fabric scraps).

That was Achie and I set up our booth. And this is part of my product display on the first day. Quite a lot if I may say :)

Our booth was located in first line on the left wing of the building. There were 10 booths on this section, and here are some of them..

Left: Booths on the left wing. Right: Gorgeous leather stuffs from Carikavasa.

Top: Mbak Astri and her cute monster sock dolls from "Hey You...!!!" Handmade. Bottom: Cool leather wallet and bracelets from Simplea Leatherworks.

From top left, clockwise: Pillow, doll and matryoshka plushie by Kikygraini, cool stuff with their statement hot pink color by Wawbaw ( I bought their large canvas tote bag and love it so much :) ), stunning printed-illustration tote bag and pouch by Dinska from Denpasar, Bali. And screen-printed pillow and plywood coaster by Maken Living.

This is the central section of the building. There were about 12 booths which no less striking than the previous one and here are some of them...

Top left: lovely scrapbook albums and clay food miniature from Scrappetizer, top right: cute dolls from Dollea Doll, bottom: collectible art pieces and wooden doll from MD Artpiece.

Top left: awesome tote bag and wall art from Kala and Wickana, top right: striking local superhero doll from Cemprut Handmade, bottom: I was contributed to give a name for Cemprut's doll, and in return I got a postcard with their dolls picture. It's such a fun! :)

Top left: the goods from Koloni Eatery & Art-Venture (they recently held a grand opening last weekend, and I plan to visit there this weekend :)), top right: lovely stuff from 3 Cups of Tea (consist of customized pillow by Pililow, hand-drawn notebook by Journ(al)ey, and handmade pouch by Omahkainkertas), bottom: cool and stunning wooden eyewear from Eastwood (as for me, their stuffs are the coolest!)

The last, this is the right wing of the building. There were about 10 booths and full with cute items! Please take a look at them..

Top left: lovely plushies and felt brooches from Ndandut, top right: handmade necklaces from Amithevintagist, center left: ethnic pattern bags from Kiniakara, center right: gorgeous batik accessories from Dwaya Manikam, bottom left: knitted accessories from Lunyatime, bottom right: adorable items from Bengkimut.

Top: traditional wooden toys from Tokecang Natural Toys, bottom: hand-carved stamp from Paperon.

And this is Rere and Achie at our booth on the second day. We're had fun and enjoyed that have been able to sell our works and get a great appreciation from the visitors. In fact I almost ran out of items for sale on the second day :)))

By the end of the second day, we were entertained with music performances by Teman Sebangku. I really like the attractive gesture of their vocalist who looks thoroughly enjoyed singing with her amusing voice :)

Thank you very much for Tobucil which has hosted this remarkable event. I've got new experiences, and also new friends with the same passion. Hopefully I can get a chance to join in this event again next year :) See you on Crafty Days #9!

P.S.: All photos were taken by my B, I was hired him to take some photos to be posted here .. hahaha. He also accompanied me during those two-day event from morning to evening. Isn't he so kind? Thank you so much B, you have my heart ❤
I'm so sorry to spam you with this event picture, I just think it's too awesome not to be shared. Hope you like it and have a great great Monday!

DIY leather camera strap

2014-01-31T19:54:00.000+07:00

I always wanted a leather strap for my DSLR. After looking at some local webstore to buy a leather camera strap with no results, I found this idea through Pinterest. A leather camera strap made from old purse strap. I think this one is perfect for me. I remember I had a leather clutch with strap that I bought about 4 year ago. And the strap size is just perfect for my camera! So with a bit gluing and sewing, I get my self-made leather camera strap! :)
Happy Friday! ~xo

save the date!

2014-01-08T14:47:00.000+07:00

No, it's not a wedding-announcement post :) This is the first event I'll join in. Crafty Days is one of the biggest craft bazaar in town held by Tobucil. This year is the eighth time it will be held. I've attended Crafty Days 7, and I wished I could join in the next event. And dreams come true. So excited! Wish it would be a good start for my little webstore :)
Well, now I'm preparing for new items to be sold there. It might be a bit busy here so I probably will not have enough time to update about it on this blog or in the webstore. But I promise, I'll update it as soon as possible after the event *pinky promise*
Have a nice day! ~xo
