Pillow Cases for my little one

 Lately i have been playing with my sewing machine. After i made the curtain with grommets, i was gonna put my sewing machine away and here comes the coupon from one of my favorite stores that says, 50% off on fabrics. So, i found this nice fabric and decided to sew a pillow case for my son.  My son was so happy about it especially when he saw the prints of the different kinds of aircrafts.

Curtain using grommets

Over the weekend Labor day holiday, i decided to sew this beautiful curtain for my bedroom, while my husband is painting the wall. Here i used grommets and at first i thought it will be so hard but its not. I layered it as well to have the professional feel as well as the look of it...


the window still looks bare but just for posting purposes of the project i made. the room is not done yet.  


this shot is just to show you that the curtain is layered.

Not sure why in these pictures, my wall color looks like lilac but its actually called Mystic Gray.

HiEllo everyone, here is another notepad I did for a friend of ours. I decorated the front cover with a couple of embelishments i found by my scraps, used my Zutter to attached the 1/2" Owires to the 50 index cards to create a pad (measured 3x5). I added different kinds of ribbons tied them up to the Owires. And tada!!!!  :)

Home decor

HiEllo everyone! I haven't posted for so long, summer is so nice that i get to spend more time outdoors.  But here is a project i will share to you all. I am not the originator of this project. Got this idea from a magazine i happened to scan the pages to (i totally forgot which magazine).  This is actually a platter that you can purchase at any store that sells kitchen stuff. Mine i got this from a dollar store. I used some ribbons and couple of embelishments. The word 'hoMe' was cut using my cricut machine. You can either change the wording to what so ever you desire.  Hope you have a fabulous day!

Mini Scrapbook

When my son's  class went to Brookfield Zoo this week, i volunteered to help out. I chaperone these 4 kids. Because they were well behave and did not give me hard time at all, here is the mini scrapbook i made for them so they have something to look at and also for their parents to see.  Sorry i can't show the details of the inside due to privacy of the kids.....
