Seems that my felt whole raspberry birthday cake is having a lot of views.... but no buyers yet.
I've decided to use the raspberry felt to make another thing....
Introducing my newest listing:
Felt Raspberry Cupcake Pincushion / Keyring
It comes with 4 heart shaped pins stuck into it.... and also has a satin ribbon loophole with a keychain ring in it....
When you are not sticking pins into it, use it as a keychain!
Available now at lilblackdog.etsy.com.....

Yesterday I posted a new item listing up on my etsy shop
for a felt Dim Sum Set.
And when I woke up this morning..... (for dimsum coincidentally), I found out that this set had been sold! :) Along with my felt hamburger set too!
So happy that after 4XX views for my hamburger set, somebody finally decided to buy it!
Undeniably, there IS something about felt food that makes it irresistible.... :)
Thanks Alison for buying both my sets!
I'm gonna make more felt food... so pls check it out at lilblackdog.etsy.com!
Coming soon:
Felt cupcake pincushion

I'm so happy that I'm featured in AreYouAnArtist's The Art Of Color blog!
I love the theme of the blog in which Connie chooses a different color or theme each day and blogs about it while featuring various etsy finds that suit it....
This is the item that was featured in her blog.... the theme was Teddy Bears and Lilac
Thanks Connie!

Tomorrow is the 1st day of April\ grandma's bday\April Fool's Day!
So..... I'm writing my first entry for the Blog Carnival for my Etsybloggers team....
If you haven't guessed Diamonds are April's birthstones and Daisies are April's Flowers of the Month!!!
Some random facts:
Diamonds are a girl's best friend.
Diamonds are forever.
The Daisy symbolizes loyal love, innocence, and purity.
The secret meaning of giving a daisy is "I'll never tell."
If you dream of daisies in the spring or summer that is good but if in the fall or winter it is bad luck.

Do you rmb when u were small and there was this game that u used to play with stones or mini bean bags that ur mother made for you? I think it was called batu seremban or sumth like that.... I guess if ur not from Asia, you would have played with a game called 'jacks' (?)
I wanted to introduce this game to the world, so I've made my own version, complete with instruction manual to be sold at my etsy shop.
It really has a traditional feel to it, and I hope it would also appeal to international buyers.
This 5 stones set consists of 5 traingular handstitched bean bags.... stuffed with real red (azuki) beans....
Painstakingly made-with-powerpoint instruction manual.
Stuff the bean bags in a handwoven rattan box.....
Tie it up with a pale blue ribbon......
taadaaa.....

In a twist of fate a few months back, I chanced upon Kelly's bloggger blog. We have quite a few things in common, she's in Ipoh and she's a fellow craft enthusiast, fellow etsy shop owner and fellow process engineer in the semiconductor industry. She mostly sells felt food patterns in her shop and her signature 'inchies'.... her etsy shop is kiiss.etsy.com
Why do I like to make handmade stuff so much? Maybe its because I feel it gives that item its own uniqueness and each of them conveys my thoughts and feelings when I make them. The item is uniquely designed and each one is different in its own way. You'll never get 2 exact same items. Sometimes when you want something in a particular pattern or color, you just have to make it urself and u'll be guaranteed 100% satisfaction.
Sis & me always used to joke that 'handmade is another word for ugly'..... haha... as in.... Ooooo that bear looks 'handmade' ....o.O Actually it just means that the little imperfections in a handmade product is what makes it unique and endearing to you. We still keep that lopsided eeyore with his rastafarian hair, cos he once dropped in the toilet bowl, and we blowed him dry with the hair blower till it fried his hair....-___- Sometimes you get tired of all that machine made perfection.
More reasons as to why we should buy handmade at buyhandmade.org.

Spent most of my time in my hometown making new craft projects for my etsy shop.
Made a whole raspberry mousse cake and I dedicate it to D & C!
Happy Birthday to both of you and Congratulations on getting full A's too!!!
Tediously made of 8 identical slices of cake.... they can be separated or tied together with the ribbon for that delicious whole cake effect. More photos available in my shop..... This cake is made of high quality felt that I bought in the craftshop.... I consider it my masterpiece lol!!!
Besides that, I also designed 4 felt hair clips..... getting inspiration from the 4 seasons, even though we only have 1 season here... haha...
Also put up the hamburger set that I made during CNY for sale....
The felt is a different kinda felt.... though some ppl may like it cos its harder and sturdier ....
I love the hamburger best!!!! Also love how the photos turn out so nicely when I take them at home.... must be my mom's digital Canon camera plus the beautiful and simple backdrop in the kitchen..... I feel it makes my photos turn out more professionally and less editing is needed... haha

Do u remember those little icing cookies we used to eat as a little kid? They could be bought at the sundry shop nearby.... they were kept in big tins....along with all other kinds of assorted cookies.
Comes in an assortment of colors ~~~~
So, do u suddenly have the urge to pop by the nearest sundry to shop to buy some of these icing cookies to eat now?
Finished making my towel dog from the DIY kit~~~ It belongs to the same family as my brown towel bear now...
Here he is posing on my blue MAS pillow again.... I made his ears floppy as opposed to the point uppy ears in the instructions... Wasn't easy cutting the towel cos it frayed easily and all the towel bits kept dropping here and there.
Watcha looking at? o.O
So, Happy Birthday to You..... can't wait to go home.... for the election and lazing about in my comfy house and room again ~~~~ hahaLabels: craft
What did u do during CNY?
I spent almost all of my time making felt food in my room.
Rmb the DIY felt food kits I bought last month? I've finished making all of them. Felt so happy when I finished making them, and the food just looked so cute! Took photos of them with Barney... but he died with them.
So I'll just have to take another photo of them when I go home next month for D & C's birthday and also the elections. Whee... my first chance to vote at the election... haha
Anyway I had some leftover felt from the stuff that I made. So I made some felt cookies from them.
Oops... these are real cookies....
100% hand sewn

Went shopping last week, gone all out on craft stuff at the Living Cabin and Anime.
Bought a few sets of felt DIY kits.... at RM4.90 to RM5.90 each.... gonna be bz making felt food for the next few weekends.
Went anime shopping.... got original releases of Mushishi and Nana... and another 'not original' copy of some shoujo anime.... Also realized that it's more worth it to buy original here in Ipoh!!!!
Anyway, I'm delighted with my purchases so I'd thought I'd record it in my blog that's all...lolz :P
Made this little brown bear some time ago with a DIY kit from Living Cabin. He's sitting on the MAS pillow I 'took' back from my trip to UK. Hmm... I guess not bad for my first bear... his ears and eyes a bit lopsided.... some of his limbs are overstuffed.... but that's what makes it distinguishably handmade... lolz
*handmade = another word for ugly*
I like the material, it reminds me of Teddy's towel. I stuffed him with azuki beans and cotton... so he's a beanie. Made another Teddy bear out of cloth scraps making use of the templates in the DIY kit....I'll take a picture of it another time.
