Christmas Project 2011 - Personalised Organizer

Christmas is around the corner. Due to heavy schedule on work and exam, I had no planning of making any handicraft for Christmas this year. However, I have suddenly had inspiration. So I wanted to give it a try.

I started immediately after my last exam paper on 8 Dec 11. However, our Pre-Christmas celebration will be held on 16 Dec as one of my colleague is flying back to her hometown for Christmas, that means I only have 7 days to complete the projects. I managed to completed 5 of them, and have to give the other 2 colleagues two days later.

I used different colours of felt fabric, buttons, ribbons and laces to decorate the organisers.
As I do not have a sewing machine, these organizers are 100% hand sewed by me.

Merry Christmas !!!










This organizer was my first attempt. It took me the longest time for me to figure out the correct measurements. it turns out well but not very perfect and hope that the next one would be better.

Birthday Card Projects

JULY BABY



This friend of mine is a cheerful girl who loves to sing, playing guitar, likes Red colour and cat. So I made a birthday card in of her wearing in favourite colour with her favourite colour background.


As she loves to sing, I drew her as a glamourous shining star singing happily with her favourite cat playing guitar.

It is not difficult when creating a personalised birthday card for her as she has a couple of favourite things. All I have to do is to input all her favourite items into the card to tell a story about this girl.


AUGUST BABIES



My idea for creating this card for my friend is, she just got engaged recently. So I used a soft touched background that suits her character and black ribbons as decorations matching with her wedding gown.
This card is not just a card, It is actually a 'photo frame' that can slot her wedding photo in.




Mee Mee is our superior. She is our 'drama queen' too.
She is happily married with a son. She loves LV and loves travel.
She gives us an impression of 'Tai Tai' (rich married woman) plus for her surname is 'Tai'.

So I drew her wearing party dress sitting on her name.



Rica is our senior who taught us a lot at our work. She is a serious, down to earth person.
Knowing her for five years. I drew her portrait that is really resembles her very much.


I will continue to make more pretty birthday cards for my friends.
