Mouse Ear Clippie

An adorable hair bow clip that has a mouse shape attached to the center adorned with a small bow and rhinestone. Isn't it cute.....

Am I Bugging You?

I managed to get a ladybird clip landed on my Azzahra’s head while she was busy with her tricycle. It didn’t take her long to realize something was going on as mommy was busy with the camera ha..ha..

Taken numerous candid shots and luckily got a good one before the ladybug got thrown up in the air.

Headband

I find that ribbon woven headband is a truly unique headband. You can play with the design according to what ribbon colour or print you like. The best part is that you can stick any hair bow with a clippie attachment into the ribbon to make it interchangeable.


This is my first take. The headband is 1” wide. A four color combination of light blue, aqua, white and yellow.

This is what I meant by interchangeable. Sorry, the bows don’t really match with the headband as I’m using them to show how they can be interchangeable.


Simply clip the clippie to any of the woven ribbon (theyr'e not glued).




Other advantages, you can place the bow anywhere either on the left, right or in the middle. Wish I can show these worn on a girl. Yeeeepppppp....Azzahra is no help at all.

Experiment with different colours or printed ribbons and you can have matching hair accessory with outfit.

I’m proud to have completed the headband and would definitely create more in future. Azzahra is excited too. She worn the headband for few seconds and gave compliments on how beautiful the headband was on her. I was scrambling to look for the camera and ends up with this photo.

Anyway, it’s a sign of a good start. BTW, the headband matched with her tees.

Boutique Bows

It’s fascinating to see beautiful boutique bow. I’m not talking about the mass produced ones but the handmade one-of-a-kind style. I like to browse the internet in search for boutique bows and they never failed to give me the oohs and aahs everytime. Most of them are however big sized at 5".

I don’t really fancy big bow. They looked kind of heavy on a child head. Medium and small sized bow suits me well and are just nice for the head. This is strictly my personal opinion only. I may try out doing the big bow one day or much probably on request (if any) *wink*

My first boutique bow with spikes, measured at 4".

I really love having spikes on bows. They make quite a fashion. What do you think?

Here comes Hello Kitty……….. or not.

Hello Kitty was going to have a show during the school break. Leaflets about it were distributed at my son's school and he was so excited that he told us he was 'INVITED' thinking the leaflet was an Invitation Card. That was amusing.... Cut story short, we booked tickets for a 4pm show on June, 19 which is on a Friday, a convenient time for us from KB.

Arriving at the venue (ICC), it was strange enough that we were able to park near the building and it was quiet for a show to go on. Only when we enter, we knew the show is canceled due to some shipping problem in Singapore and the play costumes were stranded, as we’ve been told. The organizer staff told us that the news of the cancellation was in the paper (Brunei Times) and on air (Kristal FM) on Thursday June, 18. Such a short notice and we failed to know about it.

It was sooooooo frustrating and surely was visible on my son’s face. He kept on asking why the show was canceled so we make up by bringing him to play at the Mall’s game arcade.

As on my part, I was pretty mad too as I’ve been staying up most of the night to complete my Hello Kitty hair clip for my daughter to wear to the show (though she probably will not be wearing it).

Well…..looking at the bright side, I’m able to make one new hair clippie. Look at the heavy eyelashes…hmmmm…Hello Kitty with mascara version LOL.

Playing with Ribbons

I really love ribbons. they are so strikingly beautiful and delicious looking. Grosgrain type is the best.

Anyone knows where can I find good grosgrain ribbon in Brunei. I've checked most of the craft and gifts shop and they are mostly stocked up with satin or organza ribbons. Not much on grosgrain.

Turn to online shopping and find several overseas suppliers. The cost is not so much on the ribbons but more on the shipment to Brunei.

My very first ribbon clippie - would you like to have a watermelon.....
