My Jim

My Jim (aka the perfect guy) left. This was one moth and two weeks ago. Exactly one month and one day ago, I saw him for the last time, when I said that it was just a temporary thing.....
Today I still have his stuff laying around the house... actually now they're packed and waiting to be picked up. But when? I don't know and he doesn't say. The saddest thing, because when a story finishes it's nice to understand why, so you can gain some new perspective for the next one. And anyways, it's just sad to not see someone like this anymore. I asked myself why and how is it possible for people to change their minds overnight, without telling you any reasons. Then I stoppped asking questions I will never have an answer for.
Maybe I mistake and he wasn't my Jim. Jim would not leave like this. But Jim is also very fictional. I love him cus he is the perfect guy for the weirdest situation and he never questions it. He is just happy to be in it.

Thumb up for Jim Clancy.

HELP:: Koalas in my mind

H U L P please all blogger that read this! I need a suggestion / advice...
Soon is my beloved birthday and I have already got a nice present for him.. but I wanted to hand craft the card (of course). Now my original idea was to have some pictures of us on a card around a birthday message.. but some thoughts came up and I am not more sure about it..
1. I know the guy since a couple of months only, unsure if giving "our" pictures could be a bit too soon
2. I am not sure about the pix of us we have.. as they were made at a party with many people

So I am thinking alternative solutions, as we both love koalas and we love to hug as koalas, I thought about making him a koala card.
Searching through different koala sites, I came accross a very nice one I suggest all crafters to have a look at: koalabrains.blogspot.com >> such a cute one!!

I could
1. make a photo of me with my kawaii koala eye mask in picture here
as LOLCat saying smthing cute
2. just get a pix of hugging koalas....


What do you think?
Pls save me ... thanks!!!! ♥

New Kid On the Blog

Salve - Hello - Konbawa

I have new stuff to share with everyone!!
First of all is my "just finished" mini laptop case.. it was the second attempt after the diaper. Not very successful either, but at least has a better consistence than the first.
We must keep trying to reach perfection - so I tried again.
This time I didn't skip anything:
1- used ironing lining to make outside cotton harder
2- quilted my own lining using batting material
3- used elastic to close case (unfortunately placed as garnishment)
4- hand sewn biasband before machine sewing ... but still doesn't look perfetct
Well my main problem was the pattern.. I drew it myself using the laptop as shape and I am not sure I made a good job. In fact, I don't think it look symmetric. However this case is ok to do what it was intended to do, and it looks cute as well. I just need to understand how to perfect match the biasband with the corners and how to close the top layer.
