So Cute It Hurts

Got milk?

After drooling over this adorable milk bottle for a short while (standing at the milk section for about 5 mins), i decided i should just purchase it. You see, i am not a fan of milk and i wasn't sure how my taste buds would accept it. I wanted this milk bottle but i didn't want to waste the milk. It turns out, the goat's milk didn't taste that bad at all. I am a happy girl ~ got the milk bottle and didn't waste the milk. Planning to buy two more of these adorable milk bottles because i have something sweet to store in them and perch them in my little creative corner(s).

I'm a little obsessive lately with trying to get my little studio space set up and beautifying my little corner(s). I've gotten such wonderful responses about my book space from so many of you. Thanks to all of you for your extremely thoughtful, sweet and inspiring comments. It gives me the confident to launch a new series here on my bubble space : Corners of my creative space.

Lots going on this sunny sunday, the plan is to finish two custom wedding buntings, but mostly i'm set on getting some serious cleaning and organizing. I have a couple of exciting news in store for you ~ an exhibition and a collaboration. I can hardly contain myself but i will share more with you as the days and weeks unfold. *Squeal* A cause for celebration for sure.

Off to watch Little Miss Sunshine and back to work.
More soon, though.
Have yourself a splendid merry Sunday.
Love to you and yours.

corners of my creative space : a place for my books

Sorry i've been very sporadic with my posts lately. I was soaking up on all the nice feelings that came from all rest and no late-nights work week before the father's day weekend. 

I hope your weekend was full of good times. Mine was filled with serious cleaning and organizing ~ i'm still trying to get my little studio space set up. The space is quite sunny and pretty spacious, which will keep me sane since i spend so much time in there.

I finally painstakingly put together a 3-tier white bookcase with my new mini craft hammer. A little cozy place for my books and it sits happily right next to my little sewing table.

It was really good to finally un-box my books and realized that i have quite a few prints waiting to be framed and up on the wall. Not sure why this sort of thing always takes so long. Is it just me or is this a common occurrence? 

I'm settling in nicely and love my little corner(s). Here's also a little glimpse of what's sitting on my sewing table. A portion of my inspiration board. It's just a regular magnetic board with various letters, photographs, clippings, cards, drawings and widgets that inspire me on a daily basis ~ things that have come to me in many different ways which i've decided to hang on to ~ special things.

I made a trip to the nursery yesterday and left with ordering a lavender plant. Can't wait for it to arrive and have it perch in my little creative space.

Hope you have yourself a lovely week.
Take care.
Love to you.

small talk with the moon

My week hasn't turned out too awesome.I was feeling a little under the weather at the start of the week (sinus infection city), which kind of bummed me out. I'm back to my old self now and extremely grateful to be here.

I've also neglected to mention that i was recently invited to a wonderful Love's Pilgrimage art exhibition at small talk with the moon gallery by my lady artist friends, Alison and Eva, here in Kuala Lumpur, and there was a surprising twist that occurred as well ~ intuitive reading by sweet Alison.

This exhibition is a collaborative effort between Alison and Eva, exploring the journey back to love through their inspiring beautiful art ~ the celebration and gratitude of both life and nature.

The exhibition was lovely and inspiring. The sharing session was amazing and the afternoon was spent chatting and laughing with my favorite girls. Good times.

I'm swooned.

I wanted to say thank you for all the super kind and supportive comments sent my way about my new "Let's enjoy" iCase series to come. I'm truly grateful.

After having such a whooper of a week, i don't have much going on except for filling orders, start work on a new project, my nose in The Spark Kit and making homemade comfort food (soup and shrimp, tomato and Basil Pasta)... AND doing everything possible to relax.

Be well, sweet friends
Happy merry weekend.
Love to you and yours.

Let's enjoy clicking away

I finished my first big new project, the new "Let's enjoy" iCase for your iPhone. And by big i mean something that i made for my very first exhibition invite - Polka Dot Exhibition. It was a fairly simple project once i got going, but it took what seemed like forever to come out with something new, refreshing and unique for the exhibition.

Here are a few shots of a new iCase series to come.

By now, you have probably figured out i have a thing for working with lots of color, dots and laces. The iCase piece above could most definitely be called bright, colorful and celebrating the joy of photography. I made it a little distressed look and feel ~ in hopes that it gives the appearance a feel of being antique.

I added the "SoCuteItHurts" button for flair and finished the lens in blue with white dots handmade trim just because.

Does this make me want to own an iPhone? Oh yes, i wouldn't denied it but first there's more important things ahead like saving up for my vacation to visit the Mister in Hamburg. I guess the iPhone will have to wait for now.

One of these days i am going to make up a bunch of these iCases for the shop. But first, i must finish some custom orders and 2 new projects. I think i am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel in that department, though it's just a glimmer.

In case you are curious, these are vintage film canisters gifted by a sweet photographer friend, foi. I love these to bits! These would make lovely packaging for something small and cute ~ a new project idea for me!

Thanks for being so wonderful sweet friends and customers.
I'll be back sometime next week.
Until then, have a lovely merry happy weekend!
Be well and have fun!
