i know that october is still far away. but there is no harm in preparing for it early, right?
last week i received a custom order for some lego themed pencil toppers from a customer. she wanted the pencil toppers to consist of the colorful lego bricks plus the lego (mini figure) head.
i usually make animal head’s pencil toppers, so this lego thing is new to me. i like challenge, so i accepted the order. the only problem was, i didn't know what a lego head is. so i googled the images to find out what a lego head looks like. this was what i found.
not bad, right? i'm so proud of my self.
the pencil toppers were quite simple to make. maybe the rather tricky one was the lego head. but just see how cute they turned out to be. they will make perfect fillings for birthday goody bags or christmas socks.

floral blossom’s finger puppets was reviewed by kerrific online. you can see it here.
as usual, i will leave you with the wrap up of etsy treasury lists featuring my products:
my long weekend was filled with sewing some finger puppets orders. i also received a custom order to make a 'pooh n friends' finger puppets. so i googled the pictures, and came up with pooh, eeyore, tigger, piglet and heffalump.
do you like dogs? i do. although i don't own one right now, but in my childhood, my family used to have dogs in the house.
anyway, these are the links of cookie/cupcakes recipes i found on the web that i'd really like to try out, soon. here they are:
- brookies from a baked creation
- mini maple pancake muffins from bakerella
- congo bars (blondies) also from bakerella
- vanilla cupcakes with chocolate buttercream from joy the baker
- simple chocolate fudge by martha stewart
- homemade marshmallow also by martha stewart
i have more actually, but those recipes above are enough to make my weekend busy. so... get the oven ready, baby!
i have recently finalised a small project over the weekend - a felt case for my ipod. my new ipod already got small scratch at the back :( and i bought it only in july!!
the felt case has an opening at the bottom. the tape like part at the back are meant to hold the earphone cables when not in use. but i haven't attach the velcros to it yet.
yesterday afternoon i received a package that really made my day! it was the thread spool i purchased from lia of lia's space. the prototype of the thread spool was shown in her blog post last june, and i fell in love instantly with it. 
the package came not more than 2 days after i ordered. i chose the red color and it looks very neat inside the package.
it will soon be part of my craft room. this could really revive my creative mood back in place. thanks lia! :)
ofcourse opa and oma were present also because everyday they are the ones who took and picked wulan up from school. thank you mom n dad, i don't know what we'd do without you, love you.
that is the recap of wulan's birthday party. i always pray to Allah SWT that my daughter will be blessed with health and happiness always. mama loves you, keissha aliyya wulandari.
and this is what i get ... -apologize for the poor angle, i haven't owned a wide angle lense (yet)-
yes, i know the result is not exactly like what i have expected, nonetheless it may still serve the purpose well, right? as you can see, now the cabinet is doorless. the carpenter who built this for me found that the door making was a bit tricky plus he was in a hurry to finish everything in 2 days only(!). but i will cover the cabinet with a curtain later.
you may also noticed that the shelves are also different from the original plan. if only i were as good as ana of the knock-off wood... but, hey... i can still live with it! no problemo :)
now i have to start moving my things there. catch up with you later!
the room itself is almost finished by now, but the furniture is not ready yet. i don't want to cram the room with heavy furniture because as you can see from the picture above, the room is tiny. i think i will only fill the room with a lap-height working desk across the wall above, a built-in shelf at the end of the desk, up to the ceiling, and maybe some floating shelves on the wall, just to maximise the storage capacity of the room. i will update you with more pictures of the finished room soon.
above is a sample of my little creative moment during daily work - an afternoon doodle!!
i was so excited because i have recently bought a Wacom Bamboo Fun digitizer (type CTH 661). i was hoping that it will immediately boost my creativity to the top level. but the fact is the digitizer has been lying on the desk in my room for approximately one month now :P
