Who Loves School? Definitely NOT MsPIGgii ^_^



This has been on my to-do list for quite some time now. Initially it was meant to be Bah Bah Sis' Christmas present, then CNY. The poor girl has been so patient with me, not a single complaint.

Since she's been such an angel and is heading back to uni soon, I decided to get my act together and finish this tote design for her so that she can lug those cement bricks (she swears to be a necessity of life) around with her. You see, many people have asked whether Bah Bah Sis and I are twins despite the decade age gap. In fact, we couldn't be more different. MsPIGgii, some twenty years ago would be dragged out of bed in the mornings wrapped around her bed post because she just refuses to go to school. Just the smell of a textbook is enough to give her a migraine. Bah Bah Sis on the other hand, jumps up in the morning at exactly 7am like an automatic alarm and is dressed and out the door before you even have the chance to say ‘crazy’. This girl actually gives up watching anime to do homework….. you're probably thinking what's wrong with her right?? I so agree heheheh Just kidding. You know I'm very proud of you right baby sis. I hope you enjoy your tote set as much as I enjoyed making it =)

Featuring a black chalk board filled with colorful scientific diagrams, equipment, chemistry elements, mathematics symbols, notations, english quotations and random doodles, just to name a few… this pattern is - "what's the word? LEGENDARY!" - Barney Stinson How I Met Your Mother -- AWESOME!! 


There is currently one set available in my store for anyone who is interested. Not sure whether I'll be making more yet. I'll first see how customers respond, then decide ^_^

My First Etsy Treasury! (Mowing the Lawn...)

Woohoo!! I just made my first treasury ever for an 'I dare you!' game I was playing in CRITIQUE GAMES on Etsy. It was hard but oh so much fun =) The person before you challenges you to create a treasury on a given theme, once the challenge is completed, you pick out a theme, any theme at all, for the next challenger who plays the game. The theme I got was "Mowing the Lawn..." What do you think?

♥ MsPIGgii's New Love ... My Little PIPI ♥

On a recent online shopping spree, I picked up this adorably cute 'Pipi's Kitchen' print by Kokka, currently on sale at Voodoo Rabbit. It's TOTALLY MsPIGgii! Featuring a cute little pig called PIPI, along with all it's favorite dishes - donuts.. yum, hamburgers.. yum, croissants, muffins, pretzels.. yum yum yum!! How can you not love it?!?!


In addition to Pipi, I also bought a very interesting looking cat print. I have to admit, I'm not a fan of felines but this cute kitty pattern really grows on you. The red and black print on thick white canvas featuring cats, hearts and flowers, gives this fabric a bold, fun and funky effect. You just can't help but love it! 


I spent the day making all sorts of goodies using my new cat print. I couldn't resist so stuck a bow to everything because I think it just adds an extra bit of cuteness - and that's exactly what MsPIGgii is all about =)

All these new items are now listed in both my Etsy and Madeit stores.

A very productive Australia Day for me, hope you had a fun and exciting day too!
 
Anyways bed bed now, back to work tomorrow:-|... Nighty Night All!

BUSY, BUSY, BUSY.... I'm Loving It!


Boy Oh Boy, what an exciting week it has been! After many many long nights of cutting and sewing, I have finally finished my very first wholesale... woot woot!! I'd never been able to complete this if it weren't for all the help and support from ChickenLittle and Bah Bah Sis... Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! soooo much guys! 


Also, massive thanks to Robin for having enough faith in me to feature my collection of purses and pouches in your new store. Wishing you and HandMad Emporium the very best of luck this year and the many years to come!



In addition to this, I've finally tamed and befriended the atrocious and annoying PVC. I have seriously underestimated it's stubbornness. It drove me and my poor little sewing machine completely bonkers.  After many hours of ripping, pulling, screaming and throwing away massive chunks of the thing,  I've finally discovered the secret to working with PVC: feed it a bit of tissue paper. Once fed it will settle down and do as I say. My little machine was very happy about that =) My new collection of PVC Cosmetics / Makeup Bags are now complete and available in both my etsy and madeit stores.

I've still got another variation of this design that I'm dying to explore but just haven't had the time to get started. Hopefully I'll have some time to work on it this weekend so I can share it with everyone soon ^_^

Time for sleep sleep now. Wishing all the sweetest dreams and a fantastic weekend!
