A little bit of lace

I bought a dress today in peach and teal, not my usual colours, and the dress has lace sleeves. Yap, lace! Extremely girly and sweet to my standards. I got inspired by my dress, so I dug out some inherited lace grandma gave me and I made my first lace hairband. Its a bit late to take a photo with no natural sunlight, plus my photography skills suck big time. I will try to take one in the next couple of days.



Light Grey Lace Hairband with rhinestones - sold


Dark Brown Lace Hairband with rhinestones - sold

Selling at SGD18.00 each. There is only 1 piece each colour, as this is made from a piece of vintage lace, I'm feeling the pinch when I cut up my grandma's lace, I had to waste a lot of lace to get to get a particular pattern.

Feeling like Wool

Bought some wool lately, the colours are so beautiful, really hard to resist. Now I'm just wondering what to do with them. Perhaps turned them into pom pom flowers :) I remembered making pom pom when I was 10 during art lessons, we made chicks or snowman, it was easy then cause we had those plastic circles and we just twined the wool around them. I dun have those plastic thingy anymore, got to improvise. Hopefully I can make something presentable.

Crafty Dots Sticker Labels

I almost forgot to upload this photo, they are designed by Glenn. Now that I have my own labels, I will use them everywhere :)

Brooch Display - eventually all sold


My little Crafty Dots corner


Hairbands display


All sold, Yay!!!

Today started with a greyish morning, nice and cooling, great day to begin our flea sale. Sold my first hair clip to my neighbour seller's daughter, and I bought a toy from their stall, end up almost like a barter trade. More people came at about mid day, sold more stuff. The hairbands are moving at a rapid speed, it seems to be the hottest item. Must make more in future, if i decide to do more flea markets :) I sold all the felt hairbands, felt brooches, bags and some hair clips.

The Thank you Speech
I must thank Glenn for creating the logo, masthead, stickers and price cards, without you I will be stuck with the awful masthead I created.

Thank you Laura for taking the photos at the flea, and making sure our logo appeared in almost every shot. Plus helping me to order the black hairbands.

Thank you Jo for selling my stuff and taking photos of my happy customers.

Thank you to all those who bought from me today, its really great knowing that there are people out there who appreciates handmade stuff.

A big thank you to all of you

Busy Busy Busy But Happy

Been really busy sewing, preparing for the first "debut" for crafty dots. Very excited actually, well it will be the first time I'm selling my crafts to public. Really looking forward to this Sat's flea market.
At first, I wanted to take it easy, cause I'm only given a very small corner. But as the day gets near, I keep adding more things to sell. I have even decided to get crafty dots stickers printed for the bags! I will try to take photos within the next few days of my new creations, I'm quite pleased with the stuff I'm creating lately. Maybe its because the thinking kept me distracted from my daily life.

Handmade Korean Inspired Brooch

my creation


from far east

I was looking at this brooch I bought from a korean shop in far east that day, and I don't understand why I paid SGD$49 for such a simple brooch with no frills, the flower is just hot glued to black grosgrain ribbon. Considering I can do my own little craft stuff, I didnt even think twice when I bought it. I did my own version, and I still cant decide whether to sell it or keep.

Cream Brooch finished with black grosgrain ribbon SGD$22 - SOLD

Grey Brooch with Diamante finished with black grosgrain ribbon SGD$15 - SOLD

Handmade Felt Flower Hairband

Turqoise & Dark Brown Felt Hairband


Cream & Pink Floral Hairband - Limited quantities


Cream & Baby Blue Felt Hairband



Quite happy with my cutting skills. The petals are all drawn and handcut, not using those fancy die-cutting machines (but I do wish I have one). Meya is wearing a cream and navy blue felt flower, finished with a dark blue vintage button. Please note that all buttons are one of a kind, I will not be able to give you the same exact button, but I will do my best to match it.
Selling at $12.00 each
