Special Delivery!

A parcel arrived in my mailbox! Wanna make a guess what it is? :) 

Neck pillow! I won it from Mommy Sew Pretty's giveaway. 

It's meant for little kiddos but fits my neck just fine. hehe. 

Thank you Eunice! It's adorable! 

Camera Strap

Remember my wedding anniversary wishlist? I decided another compact wasn't going to satisfy me.

I got sick of noisy pictures produced by compact camera, so with my Taiwan trip as a catalyst, I traded in my Canon IXUS and topped up some cash for Canon EOS 550D and paired it with Tamron 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD. The first thing I did before showing it to the world was to beautify the strap which was so harsh on the neck. :) And since this camera was meant to travel with me, the fabric paints has to be my favorite animal - elephants! 

It was a simple afternoon project. I added batting to the underside of the strap for extra comfort during long trips. I wanted to add a removable lens cover pouch, but didn't have time to brainstorm. Oh well, next time.

A little break

Gosh, I feel so bad for not updating! Was busy sewing days leading to Lunar New Year, then apartment spring cleaning kicked in, followed by visitations after visitations from 3 to 6 Feb.

Days have been gloomy here. I'll have to wait for sunshine to take a decent picture of 3 items sewn! =)
Till then~
