The Great Ocean Road, Melbourne


This is one of my favourite picture taken when I first visit Melbourne, Australia. I took a tour to The Great Ocean Road. The view & scenery is really beautiful.






These are part of the handmade items that I've sew...includes a "hanging scottie dog" and little lambkins in various color cotton fabrics

blythe dress


I also love sewing for my precious blythe doll - Julia, Ashley & Tommy. This one of the dress that I have sew for Ashley

Pinky


This is Pinky...she is the first button jointed teddy bear that I've sew. Pinky have movable arms & leg. It takes a week for me to finish sewing this adorable bear as I do not own a sewing machine I do everything by hand from blanket stitch for all the pattern pieces to avoid fraying and back stitch for the whole teddy bear.

Bluey


This is Bluey...he is one of the first batch of teddy bear that I've made. Material used is 100% cotton fabric, this cute little teddy bear is sew by hand and it had this silly look on his face. I used two different light blue color fabric for this teddy bear..trying to give it a unique look

Hi,

My name is Charcoal..I am 100% handmade from socks....not a used sock...ah uh!!It's a completely new sock mommy bought from Giordano, HK. Since I am mommy first project that's why...mommy said I am not that perfect...there's a slight error on my face cause mommy had my nose & mouth embroided wrongly...but I guess its alright as I think I still look cute..do you agree?
