INACRAFT 2011

A couple of days ago I found time to visit Inacraft 2011, the 13th Jakarta International Handicraft Trade Fair which held in Jakarta Convention Center.


Besides getting overwhelmed with all the pretty stuff there, I'm so happy to finally met lovely Puri from ideku handmade for the first time. 

Too bad teh Lia from Calyx couldn't come to the fair, though you can find her work there. I also visit Amesh from dreamesh and friends' booth but didn't meet them personally.. hopefully I can see them in other occasions :)


For you who happen to be in Jakarta right now, you still have the chance to visit them since the fair is on until Sunday, 24 April. Have fun!

Refashion: Overall Skirt to Harem Jumpsuit

This was an overall skirt that I seldom wear.

Turn it inside out and sew close the bottom part along the red line as shown in the drawing, leaving two holes big enough for your feet to go through. Cut away the excess fabric, turn right side out.

Done.
You can also refashion your midi or maxi full skirt this way. Hope this tutorial is useful in some way, please share if you make something similar.. thank you (^_^)

These just came in... Love 'em all!
So excited!  (^_^)

It's really rewarding to know that your work (no matter how small) could be useful for someone else :)

Something old, something new...

...something borrowed, something green :)

After months living among boxes, here it is.. our living room!
Thanks to hubby who painstakingly assembled the bookcase and TV cabinet.

House Tour: 280 Square Feet Heaven

How I adore this House Tour from Apartment Therapy. This is how I would want my bachelorette pad to look like! 

This small 280 square feet (approx. 26 square meters) space is carefully planned you'd thought it's much bigger. The shiny and mirror surface of the floor to ceiling cabinets, giving the illusion of a bigger space.

Love the open shelves placement surrounding the main entrance.

And I can see some of my favorite furnishings from IKEA as well as from high end designers Phillipe Starck and Verner Panton.

Well, see the full tour here and go gaga yourself..
