WELCOME!

Welcome to my NEW blog :> 

button4blog_200x200

Looks pretty, doesn’t it? The new look, the move and the shop set-up all came together rather quickly – almost ‘inspired’, I’d say. It all started when my friend asked if I could whip up a baby quilt for her new baby. Of course I can! Being the generous soul that she is, she wouldn’t accept it for free, but I can’t (and won’t) charge for the quilt either! So, it is ‘butter-trading’ time! 

I asked Mama G to help with the blog’s and my Etsy store’s banners design in return for the baby quilt then. She came back with the cutest ideas and there was no turning back. The whole episode turned into a full-blown identity/branding exercise, which took us less than a week to complete: The new domain name, store, avatars, banners, blog page, migration of the blog, etc. This is how far I’ve come since the day of my 1st entry on blogspot.com. And this big move would not have been possible without my tech-guru-hubby and the super-talented Mama G.

THANK YOU! 😀

Well, some renovation dust still lingers – I’m trying my best to clean up the alignment issues that cropped up during the move. But I’m not going to get caught up with the legacy issues… there’s so much more to do, and to talk about! 

Popping buttons…

I’m still in a quilting funk… :p But I’ll be out of it REALLY soon. Promise… Fabrics are washed, ready to be cut, and I’ve it all planned out… REALLY! 😀

See the a new thingy on the right side of this blog? Look now: See the ‘My Shop‘ sign? Yep. I set-up shop on Etsy last night and so far I managed to get some crayon wallets up. hooray!

In the mean time, these buttons are all I have to show for. For now.

For the boys…

May has a nice sort of buzz. Busy sort of ‘buzz’… In the past weeks, we have been blessed with many happy occasions: birthdays, arrivals of babies, news of soon-to-arrive babies, new opportunities, etc. I don’t know, but I felt these personal feel-good events countered the negativities covered in the press: the economy, swine-flu, AWARE tussle, etc…

.
Hubby and I also made some plans to move forward with our ‘hobby site’ which he set-up in the late ’90s, servicing the Beanie babies crazed online community. The idea of a ‘baby gift ideas site’ has been tossed around for the LONGEST time, given that we are such ‘big’ consumers of baby items/gifts and I felt that the parents in SG are quite shortchanged in terms of cost and variety.
.
More updates about THE PLAN coming up soon, I hope ;>

In the mean time, I’m caught in a bit of a ‘quilting funk’ which I can’t seem to shake off. So, I made
more of these:

It’s a wrap!

It’s raining babies here! :> Seriously, I have no idea what the government is talking about when they say we are not having enough babies. The gynae’s office is always packed, the malls are filled with families with strollers, babies/kids everywhere in the zoo, etc… Then again, I have been visiting ‘kiddy-friendly’ places hence the observation may be a ‘little’ skewed :p
.
A friend delivered earlier this month and I dugged out my old nursing cover and created a new one based on the pattern. 
It’s a double-sided cover, with a flexible boning strip to give you some ‘view’ to the nursing child. I used the cover as a stroller cover too when the baby’s asleep and you want to keep the lights out and curious aunties poking their faces into the stroller :p
.

The backing is a japanese 100% cotton brown striped fabric which is very soft.

I think its a great gift: The shops sell them for quite a bit of $$! With a cover, I don’t have to wear a nursing top or risk flashing my boobies at anyone!

Speaking of modesty, we were out at the zoo a couple of weeks back and when I neared the gibbons section, I noticed a yummy-mummy, in a nice denim tube dress, seating at the bench with a fussing baby. What surprised me was that she popped her breast out of the dress, before she positioned her baby to nurse. Hmmmm… Talk about self-confidence! hahaha
