Recycle CDs to lace/ribbon holder

I do have many CDs and also various lace/ribbons. I always find it hard to organise and display the lace/ribbons especially while I'm on the go (market/bazaar). So I turn the CDs to be the lace/ribbon holder for a better display and organise :) You may also try it out at home with the below simple steps ^.^

Step 1: Prepare old CDs: you may cover up the CDs surface like I did with white sticker paper which you can easily get from book store. It is always easier to use circle cutter which you can get from stationary shop or Daiso.

Step 2: Use a thick card board or I prefer those cardboard from boxes as it allows me to roll easily. Make a cylinder shape and glue it on the center of the CDs. I prefer to leave the cylinder central empty so that I can also hang them on the rack.

Step 3: Glue the other CD on the other end of the cylinder tube and your lace/ribbon holder is now DONE!!!

Simple skirt + brooch + headband

A friend's daughter is turning 1 year old tomorrow. To celebrate this special moment, I decided to give her something from my handmade :) After a few skirt making experiences previously, I supposed this time will be better. But it still cost me alot of time. I really love knitted fabric as it can turn to be something that can wear daily. However, there will be alot try and errors. Practice make perfect :)




This time, I made a headband, decor a top and made a skirt.

Headband: Lycra fabric which gave me good stretch. 
I top with hand stitch flower and a fabric covered buttons. 


A little decor to the top to match back the skirt.

3 little skirts

It has been such a long time again.....Yes, I've been quiet for erm...about 1 year i think. Well actually more than that since my last update. 2012 is rather a busy year. I moved house, moved office......Alot of things happened but I actually did quite alot of handmade stuffs as well. Just that too fast to gift out before I have a chance to shoot photo. Haha... 

 CNY is coming, I've just tried to made 3 skirts (even though I don't have daughter :P ). There are little girls around me. So these are just good as CNY presents to them.


Over the year, I've been playing around with knitted fabrics. I just love them too much. I made some apparels to my sons, my hubby as well as myself. Will post up the photo once I got chance to shoot them.
