Notebook for Sweet Little Girl 小女生笔记本

My girl has been invited to another birthday party this year. This time it's a friend from her class in school. They have been in the same class since Primary One. This little girl adores Hello Kitty very much. Her birthday invitation card has Hello Kitty on the cover.

A perfect gift for this birthday girl of course would be something made using Hello Kitty image. :) I discussed with my girl and we decided to make her a notebook.

Here is it a personalised notebook for a very sweet girl. Happy birthday Qian Hua!

Hello Kitty Bag 可爱的凯蒂猫包包

An old friend from school asked me to sew bags for little girls. I was given a free hand in designing the bag. She said anything will do, as long as it's something that a little girl would fancy. Hm... I like that. I love making sweet and cute stuff. :)

Here is the first piece I made for her, using Hello Kitty prints fabric. I think most little girls even grown-ups adore Hello Kitty! Too bad I couldn't find a nice pink based Hello Kitty prints fabric. It would be perfect if it is in pink.

I hope whomever my friend is going to give this bag to would cherish it. I would also like to thank my friend for giving me such opportunity to challenge myself with new sewing project. :)

Books Books Books 好多书！

Nothing much get done recently due to flu virus attack and everyone in the house taking turns to falling ill. Health is the most precious thing we have, without it, one can't accomplish much and everything else is meaningless. We have to be grateful for our good health! I think I have to start exercising more regularly!

Progress has been quite slow, but I couldn't ask for more. After a week of struggling, I finally completed 20 books. It's a record, haven't made so many books at a time in my life! I have another 10 books waiting for me to bind...
