1♥cottage::.How's your day?

How's everyone been doing?

It's been a fun day to me.

I've spent some time going outdoor to capture photos

and also playin' with bubbles. :)

It's like walking down the memory lane.

My childhood's fav past time.

So, be inspired, let's bubblin' with me & have some fun! ♥

My bro & I.

It's totally a blissful day. 

1♥cottage::.People not machine.

I've made some sales on Etsy a few days ago and I have been

very busy packaging up for my customers.

I didn't know that packaging up for your products can be this much fun.

Previously, I just made very simple packaging towards my 

felt products. Since the price is relatively high for my amigurumi

products, I have made an extra effort in packaging them.

These "Happy Little Coin Purses" seen here are nicely packaged.

They can be found in the link below :

http://www.etsy.com/listing/82438907/happy-little-coin-pouches

Only 3 left at the moment :)

 I've also doodle-ed "Thank You" tags for the package.

The parcels are ready to be shipped to Aussie and Muar :)

I wish my packages can put a smile to my customers. :D

That's what make a difference to handmade products with machine made.

They are people, not machine!

Machine products don't do them personally just for you!

They are mass produced!

Thus,

Support Handmades! ♥

Few days ago, I did some printing jobs on my IG & crafts photos.

There are printed with inkjet printer on some glossy photo papers.

Don't you find it cute? I'm very satisfied with my printing. :)

1♥cottage::.The Story Untold

Happy T.G.I.F! ♥

The story untold and I'm gonna tell you now in this post! :D

The above picture was my very first amigurumi I did which 

was like 6 months ago. I was really not satisfied with the outcome. 

As you can see, it was not cute enough.

Apparently, amigurumi is relatively easy to do when you 

acquired the knowledge and art of crochet. However, it need a

lots of patience and creativity to produce a cute and lovable end product.

It's all started when I first joined Instagram (an app on iPhone).

I began browsing on photos posted by other fellow IG-ers and

I discovered these cute little amigurumi dolls made by them.

The learning process is really painful as no one is able to teach me.

Besides, my mom is not familiar with crochet doll patterns.

However, with the help of YouTube tutorials and some books I bought,

I've finally managed to learn the correct ways to crochet a doll.

The WIP mini ShellieMay I'm doing, few months back.

I crochet mostly on patterns I got from the internet and books before I

started doing my own patterns. As time goes by, I crochet better and

I started designing my own patterns. ShellieMay was one of the first
patterns I've designed earlier on.

I was so happy with the outcome. Needless to say, I begin to do

more patterns myself.

Little penguin amigurumi - pattern not by me.

Amigurumi dolls that I sold to one of my IG friend.

I shared all of my amigurumi works on IG and got really good responses

as well as compliments. I'm so happy and excited at the same time.

Motivation was what I've gained from the compliments I got all the time

from my beloved IG friends and followers.

Sold to my IG friend.

I know that OLC is well known for it's felt products. However,

I reckoned that with the felt products I've made so far cannot 

realize my dream. I want to build a brand name for myself, 

with my crafts. That is why I have converted OLC to amigurumi 

products.

I really hope that all my previous customers will understand the story

behind the changes made to OLC. 

IG Monster Stamp.

Kiki Foxy Bear Stamp.

My hunger for crafts don't just stop there. I have also acquired the
skills in hand-carving rubber stamps too. It's really fun but that
will be just for personal use and for craft packaging purposes.

The JC box was made into good use. 

I'm keeping all my stamping tools in there. :)

Trying to take good photos of your products ain't easy.

Yea, I'm trying real hard for the products that I'll be posting next.

I've been making more effort in taking photos for all my products.

I'm sure that no one would love to see messy backgrounds, 

dark photos and many more. 

I hope my handmade make you S.M.I.L.E and please enjoy browsing

through my products. :)

Should you want to purchase any of my handmade,

(or even to say HI!) 

You're always welcome to

p/s: It is not the profit that matters, it is the process and the enjoyment that matters the most.

Love, Irene

1♥cottage::.Hello!

Hey lovely OLC-ers!

Pic credited to google.com

How is everyone been doing?

It has been almost half a year now since the last time I've

blogged about my craft products. Well, the good news is

I've finally completed my industrial training and I will be back

to work & blog about my crafts here in no time. ;)

To establish my own concept and brand name, I've

decided to work on only a few selected crafts instead of

multiple craft products like the one I did for my previous products

in year 2010. Although this bad news might disappoint y'all who loves 
my felt products, but I hope I will get supports from each and 
everyone of you in bringing fresh, new and super kawaii handmade 
Amigurumi.

(Hint: Blog layout is designed via the Amigurumi I've made!)

I have discontinued most of my felt products in order to fulfill my dream 

and vision for this blog. I'll be doing Amigurumi products only from now on.

Apart from that, I've also applied for Pipit Wonderful Market 7

and let's hope that I'll be selected. I've done lots of Amigurumi 

and they are reserved for Pipit at the moment until they announced 

the selected vendors. Here's a photo of my current crafts preparations.

Please take note that it will be for sale instantly at my 

Etsy/Blog if I am not selected 

as a vendor at Pipit Wonderful Market 7.

Other than that, I've also been working hard on the packaging 
of my crafts. Here's a hand-carved stamp I did as part of the craft 

products packaging purposes.

Oh, and I'm pretty addicted with Instagram too
which is an app on iPhone. Feel free to follow me @irenesin
where I post photos of my life, crafts and fashion.
See ya there! ;)

Love,

Irene Sin
