more from my sewing room

Actually there's not much left to see in this small room.. but hey one can only try to make it look and function better.
So, here at the day bed side I put some wall decal for that punch to the plain white wall and a string to hang my finished products. And that's about it.. for now :D

Perfect Match - Turquoise Promo

Have you seen the inaku new reversible bag here...?
I made it to complement the Turquoise Batik Dress but surely you could have each of them separately.


So why should you get them both? Besides they both being a perfect match, that is.
Well, it's because you can get them in lower price!

This offer is valid until you bought them ;) or someone bought one of them, dress or bag.
Remember this is one of a kind item.. so hurry!

for the love of music

Hubby bought me an electric acoustic guitar :D

Now I'm still trying to get the hang of it since it's steel stringed, different from my previous classical guitar with nylon string.

Looks like my sewing machine is going to get dusty again.

What I got..

...from Jepara, Indonesia.
Tenun Troso (handwoven fabric). The pattern is pretty and not so loud, just the way I like it and the color is summery. I'm thinking of making a dress out of it, but most probably I'll use it as a throw. It's always hard for me to remake an already gorgeous piece of fabric into other forms.


The tenun Troso below comes with golden thread, as you can see they look shiny and sparkle beautifully.





...from Lombok, Indonesia.
Beautiful colorful handwoven textiles - I already put one of them in my living room for a throw. It accentuates our black sofa nicely.


Do you know that Lombok is one of the best sources in the world for saltwater pearls? So it's only natural if I bought a pearl pendant there. Yet due to my preference in big pendants (and the budget limitation, lol) I chose the blister pearl, a half-sphere pearl that attached to the shell as it's formed.



What's more, the pendant's reversible too!

going, going, gone

These bags are going to Perth, Australia.. just hope the red haze there will be over soon.

Handmade Space

I drool over these pretty organized craft rooms and always dream of having the same space as those beauties.

Unfortunately I'm not that organized, since I find my craft room tidiness is the hardest to keep up (apart from the boys' room, ofcourse).

Frames/ Jars

I'm sure you've been into situation where you have too many glass jars inside your kitchen cabinet (or your mum's), and the first thing you can think about is throw them away a.s.a.p!

But what d'u know.. you can actually put them into good use (and not for that extra spices you bought in discounted bulk).

Yes, the jars are still being re-used for storing something, but you'll never guess this.. you can use them as frames!



I've found this great (and very simple) idea at Photojojo and can't figure out why didn't I think of that. And not only jars, you can use bottles too.. hmm I gotta tell this to my coke-bottle-collector friend

Tenun Troso

Tenun Troso is a traditional handwoven fabric originated from Troso, Jepara, Central Java, Indonesia. Available in various motives (rainbow (as in above picture), ikat, plain, batik) and materials (cotton, viscose, natural fibers).

I'm lucky to get a handful of these beautiful fabrics for my next projects :)

heirloom..

Look what I've got from my mother!

It's her collection of embroidery tools, or some of them, to be exact.

Now, if I could just find time (read: not too lazy) to start making some nice embroidery here and there..

Bottles on Display

Do you collect things?

While I never intended to collect certain things in the first place, but eventually now I end up (infact it's not ended yet) with piles of home design books and magazines.. and dozens of childrens books as well. Yet, I'm sure my case here is a common thing for many people.

But what if you collect things that are.. well, a bit unordinary?

Like my friend who happens to be a product designer is a collector of coke bottles. Yup, the same coke bottles that you usually throw in a garbage or recycle bin after you finished the carbonated drink. Ofcourse my dear friend always say that his collection is classic, it's the historic evolution of the coke bottle design. Yeah..

Anyway, he ones asked about ways to store his bottle collections. So here you go.

Conservatively, you can keep the bottles in wine bottle racks or shelves.

Creatively, you can display all of them instead, forming a room divider wall that even suits a small space since the transparent characteristic of the glass bottle material still lets light through so the divided rooms wont become claustrophobic.

Then if you want to display only a few and keep the rest deep in the storage, you can always enhance the lime light on your display by adding some quirky accessories like this one below.
