6th of Dec 09 seems to be an auspicious date! This is the 2nd wedding couple that I’ve made for couple that are getting married on this day.
Lovely Ste asked me to make one pair of wedding couple for YG & QQ. Ste said her friend like princess look dolls and she wanted a tiara. That morning (before collecting), I went to AMK hub to buy this Tiara just for her doll… :)
This is the 2nd pair of wedding couple SY asked me to make. They are for her very good friend Aud & JC who are getting married today! Congrats!!
Aud likes BLING BLING stuff… So, you can see how ‘expensive’ this doll is… =P Full of BLINGS!!
M wanted a doll that use these two very retro colors. The colors are from a hotel’s logo.
I never know these two colors can be so nice. Bought these two colors: Fusion Pink and Bright Yellow from Betsy. Nice rite?!
Siti asked me to make two dolls for her best friend Sam as her birthday present. Before that I’ve made her 3 sets of sisters dolls.
I decided to make two look-a-like dolls for them.
Siti told me that Sam has natural curl and love champagne color. As for Siti, she loves purple and she said she wanted her hair to be straight cos Sam never seen her in straight hair.
This is what Siti wrote: “I presented these to her tonite. if only you could've heard our squeals of delight!”
These two pairs of wedding couples are pretty similar. One of them is for JX and the other one is for TM’s friend.
I’ve actually show-cased JX’s wedding couple during Electronic and Gift fair 2009 @ Suntec City with Knotty Bicsie.
Instead of giving ‘Ang Pao’, Mien decided to give this pair of wedding couple to her good friend as a wedding gift for not able to attend her wedding. I will like to apologize to Mien for not able to use lighter blue tone for the ribbon. But thank God she still likes them. :)
Joel and I are very blessed to join my DH and his company to Taiwan for holiday tomorrow!!! This will be a 5 days 4 nights tour. I never been to Taiwan before and I’m looking forward to this trip, especially their glorious food!!
Well, for Joel this is his first time travelling on the plane! Both my husband and I have mixture of excitement and anxiety. We prayed that Joel will behave himself…. Most importantly, don’t fall SICK!!
So, now I’m gearing everything up. His winter jackets (a bit kiasu rite), socks, beanies, gloves, medications, his toys, biscuits, food and many many more… Hopefully I don’t miss anything.
Oh yea, I won’t be checking my email for the next 5 days. Apologize for any inconvenience cause… =P
Thousands apologies to this couple… I’ve delayed making their wedding couple for 2 weeks. But thank God they are already married… GL chanced upon my blogs after their wedding and it was a bit too late to get a pair for her wedding. However, both of them love the dolls so much that they still wanted me to make another pair for them to be displayed in their home.
So, I've managed to complete this pair last week and the dolls are on the way to their new home. I hope both SL and GL will like it.
Congratulation again to SL and GL.
In such a hot and sunny S’pore, Joel is usually bare-footed… So, decided to get this from Betsy… Cute rite!
CO contacted me just one month before her wedding and she wanted quite a list of items. I was kind reluctant to take initially, however, after encouragement from Betsy, I’ve decided to take. NO REGRET! Moreover, I found great satisfaction after completing them!
Thank God, I have Knotty Bicsie to help me on the guys’ bow ties & brooch! I would say, this is the first time I’m collaborating with Knotty Bicsie on wedding items. There will be more collaborations in future… It’s true that I can’t possibly satisfy my buyers needs alone, with Knotty Bicsie, I’m sure I CAN! :)
CO wanted crowns for both of the dolls, she’s the princess and he’s the prince… Kinda cute! Then her wedding color theme is white & pink. My favorite colors…. =P I’m glad she likes them very much… Oh, I’ve given her a surprise! I’ve crocheted my ‘signature’ heart and sewn BB love C on it…
Next, 6 corsages for her sisters and 4 bow ties for her brothers. The bow ties are from Knotty Bicsie. Pretty cute!
Lastly, another surprise from me and Betsy… They are the bride’s corsage & groom’s brooch!!
I’ll like to wish both BB and CO, a blissful life ahead! And may God bless both of you with abundant joy and happiness….
Thanks for supporting and appreciating my works.
This week is really a very very busy week for me! I have 3 pairs of wedding couples and 6 corsages to rush!! A bit crazy rite?? Been staying up late for the past few nights. So far so good, I managed to finish 2 pairs and 6 corsages.Left last pair that due this coming Friday. Thank GOD I have a few good helpers to help me. A BIG THANKS to Betsy, Betsy’s mom and YL! Especially Betsy’s mom, she rushed 4 pairs of body for me… YL too, even though she’s on her holiday trip @ BKK, she never leave without her crochet needle and yarn… LOL!!!
Chr contacted me during July for a wedding couple, but that time I was very busy with Joel, I told her that I would get back to her when nearer to her wedding date which is this coming Thursday!
Her wedding theme is oriental vintage. I was excited and wanted to do her wedding couple because of her beautiful wedding gown! Of cos, I can’t do exactly the same but something similar. Her gown is a bit like ‘mermaid’ gown, which is tight on the top but flair at the bottom… Took me awhile to think how to sew the lace. Finally, this is the result… What do you think? Pretty rite!
I’m glad that Chr likes them a lot! To Vic and Chr, May God bless both of you with abundant Joy and Happiness…
SL wanted a pair of wedding couple for K & KO. According to SL, K is a very sweet lady with natural curl and she likes flowers very much. :) So, I’ve used lace full of flowers for the gown and add a curl at the side. As for KO, well, he wears specs. Besides that, she’ll like me to sew “6.12.09” on a heart. Wah, I used more than 3 hours just to do that!!! I never thought it could be that hard! Anyway, I’ve made it… =P
Congratulation to K & KO… May God bless both of you with abundant happiness & joy… :)
Yesterday was Knotty Tea Party, it was very successful. Congrats, Betsy! Thanks for roping us in to be part of the family... :)
My wedding dolls were being show cased and the response was pretty good. Poor Han, she has to wait 'till the party over before she could collect her dolls... LOL!! =P
Michelle and I
The host herself, Betsy of Knotty Bicsie
Betsy's mom and sister
Suzanne of Periwinklesu and friends
Ellen, can see she's very very busy... LOL
Love all their stuffs... A group of gifted crafters. Well, I bought something from them too.
Bought this from Pewinklesu. It's a key chain.
Bought this from Ellen... Just love the OWL paper clip!!
I've made this pair of wedding couple for Han... Han was my first crochet student. I taught her crochet @ Betsy's cozy home studio. That time, Betsy wanted me to become her instructor and Han was the first student to try out, unfortunately, with Joel I won't be able to help her.. :( Han's getting married soon and she'll like to have a pair of wedding dolls for her photoshoot....
Han wanted a pair of specs for the groom. So, I got Chuling from Ling glass to make this pair of specs... Very cute!! Took Ivy's idea to make the groom more 'out-standing', I've added a flower brooch for the groom. As for the bride, well, if you realize, I've crocheted a small curl. Idea came from my own wedding shot =P. What do you think?
Was rushing this pair last two days, not only for Han but also for Knotty Party - Handmade fair. Very tiring but feel the satisfaction after seeing the end result.
BL has asked me to make her a wedding couple. Initially I couldn't take her order cos I have a few on hand to rush... However, this sweet lady said she trust my taste and I can do whatever I want. No special requirement, nothing. =D Thanks to her... I managed to rush the couple for her just two days before her wedding... =P
I'm glad she likes it a lot.... Congratulation to B & Z!! May God bless both of you with abundant love, joy and happiness....
Wah, time really flies... 3 more months and Joel will turn 1 year old! This little baby is going to be a toddler soon... He has been learning new things almost everyday. Now, he can listen to some simple instructions...
He knows how to clap hands when we asked him to clap. When we asked for Hi-5, he'll raise up his hand... He likes to stand up on his own by holding on something. Well, getting naughtier, of cos and always like to pretend to cry when we ignore him or scold him.
This little baby can really eat a lot! He can finish half rice bowl of porridge in less than half and hour! We let him taste almost all kind of veges and fruits except meat. I plan to start him on meat diet when he's around 10th or 11th month.
This month, I was sick for at least 2 weeks and even got warded for 2 nights due to asthma attack... :( Thank God Joel behaved pretty well with my husband and my mom in law... Just that, he refused to drink formula cos all the while he was breast-fed. Even if he's hungry, he'll just drink like 3 oz from bottle.. Sigh... It's all my fault. I should have mixed breast milk and formula.
Joel likes to make a lot of sounds these days... Sounds like, mamammamama and bababababa... So, when he made any sound, I'll response to him and he'll continue making. Hopefully, he can call us real soon. He is teething too... Two from the bottom and another two from the top are coming out soon.
We are going for a short trip end of November!! So, finally, Joel has his own passport!! It was so fast and convenient to make a S'porean passport. It's all online! I took his passport picture and then applied online. Within 3 days, we were asked to collect from the Immigration office. Less than half and hour of waiting, we've collected the passport.
Joel in his PJ... =P
Dy contacted me for a pair of wedding couple. As usual, I would ask him for information like the color theme, hairstyle and etc... Aiyo, he didn't know anything, all he knows is Mab likes lace and flowers... Been checking on me couple of time to see how's my progress of the dolls.... Sweet!! Finally, completed them yesterday and just sent them away. I'm glad Mab LOVES the dolls... ;)
Congratulation to both of you and may God bless both of you with abundant happiness and love.
