My lonely booth in Vivo City - Toy Outpost

A very outdated post.
My little cubicle in Toy Outpost. It has been there for quite some time but I didnt have the chance to update the items in it as I was too tied up with all the Xmas orders.

Tote bags - An essential item

Received a customized order for a tote bag with no zip or button closure. It was my first attempt and I "bravely" accepted the order. :-p
Read a few tutorials, sewing tips and examine my own tote bag, I slowly fumbled my way to complete it.
My first tote took me almost a whole day just to get it right. However, the end product was endearing and even my husband took a second glance of it. hehe

To date, I have sew about five tote bags and took lesser time for it now. If there is no disturbance, I can complete about two bags in an evening. However, I prefer not to rush for this style due to its meticulous steps.

I am making one for myself too with a matching wetbag... Will post it as soon as it is completed.

Vinyl boxy pouch

Another customized order by a very jovial mummy who wanted a pouch to goes along with her changing mat.

We thought of having a pouch that can squeeze in one and a half pack of travel wipes (never run out of wipes again!) and not to take up excess space in the diaper bag when not in use. That's how this idea came up!

No more fears of placing the pouch on wet or soiled areas. ^_^

Still around......

It has been a hectic week for me last week. Not the projects. Is my girl.

She has fallen sick. Real bad. First is feeling feverish for at least three days. Soon flu caught up and the nose was practically dripping non stop. Lastly, cough came along...
sigh........

She refuse to eat and even when she does, her appetite has been poor. :-( This is her first time acting this way. Even in the past, it has never happened before. I was literally at my wits end on thinking what to cook for her.

At times, I admit I have been a bad mum when I lose my patience and started to get frustrated with her and her tantrums.
After calming my nerves and thinking that she didnt want it this way either, I started to feel guilty and gave her all the attention she needs again.


Nothing is more important then seeing the little cheerful girl back again.

All I wanted to
