I love the colours and the style on this spring collection dress from www.RitchieRags.etsy.com, there is also a selection of clothes for little infants. What a statement it would be to have your baby wear one of those peace ritchie rag top.

Etoile dress

Another favourite of mine is www.miko207.etsy.com, I like her trademark bow around the neckline. Her ‘Etoile dress’ is my favorite, its like “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” black dress, for little girls. There is so also something japanese about her style which I so admire.

Ladies, thank you for allowing me to talk about your shops, you guys have such wonderful talent !!!

Take care and have a great weekend everyone! ^__^

Gross National Happiness

Posted by chirchi965 on March 16, 2008

sunday morning read

A sunday morning read from Nat Geo “Inside Animal Minds” led me to “Bhutan’s Experiment”
and discovering the term Gross National Happiness, I was moved, what a bold step GNH is and how lovely not to think of GNP. What is to come of this new move, and what wonderful news it would be to read about it in the future ( if it turns out to be successful ). I wish them all happiness!!!

If only it could be used for other countries as well…

I stumbled upon an etsy shop and happened to see some of the things the seller made, they were made as a ” Complete a crafty project for each day “, they were lovely items jewellery and such. I have decided I should try the method, I basically need to set a week or maybe a month and see how many crafts I can make within that given period of time. ^__^ Just so excited thinking on that idea.

Another idea, is to have a fellow crafter who is willing to have a challenge . The challenge is to send each other some materials and see what the other can create with it. It could be thematic!!! If anyone is interested drop me a line!!

I have been accumulating some to do list things, which I hope to do …..but the list seems neverending and I think its also due to me not trying to finish them off ! -__- “cough”

Took some random pictures..I especially love the colour in this…

flowers

and the texture in this picture

scented beads

Well, that’s all for today, hope everyone has a lovely weekend!!!

A sunflower , would make a great looking shower head thingy.

Imagine if you please, having a shower with an accessory such as this, I think it heaven if such a device be made to look like a sunflower, especially for those who are crazy about sunflowers as I am. I have to say that the layout has to be thought out properly, nothing too gaudy, somewhat simple and perfect.

On thursday we had a field trip to Changi Airport Terminal 3, newly built, I took very few pictures as my class was fairly in need of control. I have 3 pictures to offer, nothing of consequence mind you.

Why oh why do we need number 3! -_-

Some new purchases…

Mobile charms

New cushion covers

These remind me of Ikea…

This particular cover is super uber kawaii….

Lastly, some stuff that I made, which are in need of a proper photo shoot before they can be put up for sale on Etsy.

Handmade for etsy

The bird series continues, and I am hoping on transforming the fishies and octopus to some sea life mobile.

Anyways, that’s all for now, hope you have a fantastic weekend.

Problematique

Posted by chirchi965 on March 9, 2008

“Map Of The Problematique”

Fear and panic in the air
I want to be free
From desolation and despair
And I feel like everything I saw
Is being swept away
When I refuse to let you go

I can’t get it right
Get it right
Since I met you

Loneliness be over
When will this loneliness be over

Life will flash before my eyes
So scattered and lost
I want to touch the other side
And no one thinks they are to blame
Why can’t we see
That when we bleed we bleed the same

I can’t get it right
Get it right
Since I met you

Loneliness be over
When will this loneliness be over
Loneliness be over
When will this loneliness be over

I can’t stop listening to it
