F'dyHana on Key Ring!

A first trial of my new F'dyHana KoHana (idea came from Kak Jijah) on a new attachment that I haven't tried yet which is a key ring. This one I used my leftover medium husky pink yarn from Japan. It's a smaller version of F'dyHana besides my Rose which is quite similar in size. That's why I named it KoHana= Small Flower. For the key ring I just use my available jump ring to connect the ring & the flower. So here's my new F'dyHana KoHana key ring:

 I've sew a glass beads for the KoHana middle and it looks quite nice & shiny =).

Next need to try the same pattern with different yarn see how it will turn out.

Brown Painter's Cap & Red Beret Beanie

Last week I've also finished an order from my friend Atikah who is now studying in Australia. I've finished the cap & hat but yet to delivery to her. Most probably I'll sent it to her within this week. Here's the photos of her cap & beret beanie:

New Lacey Beret Beanie

I didn't manage to update any new stuff for couple of weeks as I was busy with trainings, meetings & friend's wedding receptions. But a few weeks ago my friend's sister Iman had requested a new pattern beanie beret. I managed create one but it to took me a bit more time as I need to adjust the new pattern I was designing with the proper size. Eventually it came out quite ok. So here's the new Lacey Beret Beanie:

 The new beret beanie with a blue bow as Iman's request. The bow is slightly big around 10cm in length. I've attached a pin behind the bow so that it can be detachable whenever she like or use it as a pin on her scarf etc.

Here's some photos of me modeling the new beanie =)

So what do you all think of this one?

Flower Hat for Toddler

Last week I made a flower hat which is adapted from baby Emily's Hat, an order from Aida for her baby girl. As I didn't quite remember the stitches for baby Emily's Hat as I just made it up on the spot without any record. I tried to make this one as close as possible using a different mix colour yarn of lilac, cotton pink & off white. So here's the new flower hat:

Closeup of the flower. This one don't have a name =P.

A view from top. The mix colour yarn makes nice pattern naturally.

Hope the hat will fit Aida's baby well & the photo session will be great =)

First attempt of making hairclips

My first attempt to lined the double prong alligator clips. Luckily manage to make them neatly enough :)

First collaborative order for 50 F'dyHana Roses

Since last 3 weeks I was busy completing some orders and one of it was a bulk order of 50 F'dyHana Roses for Kak Jijah who is the owner of ChomelCraft. She is going to put it on her hairclips which are her expertise. Something like a 'sifu' of hairclips in Malaysia :p. The roses was sent & safely arrived yesterday. Eager to see how it turn out when she give her touch on it for her hairclips.  BTW I'm in the midst on designing & making my own hairclips too. So stay tune guys :).
Here's the 50 F'dyHana Roses (reminds me of a bouquet of 50 roses :p):

Total 5 colours: White, Pink, Lilac, Red & Light Blue

A view of all of the roses. This is the first time that I made this much of F'dyHana Roses at a short time. Not that easy as I was like crazy busy with work (really unpredictable) but then I managed to squeeze my time for this order (also some beanies order) by only making them at night & weekends. Thanks to Kak Jijah for collaborative order :).

My New Type of Stamp Mounting - Thank You MFK

Just finished this rubber stamp today. Started carving last night but then my eyes was too sleepy until I don't know what I'm carving! Dangerous!Luckily I didn't carve away the letters or my fingers :p.
Anyway this stamp is for my MisFydKrafts thank you note. As the rubber was a bit thin so I've used a new type of mounting that I thought of trying for a long time. Not bad I guess comparing to the normal wood mounting where you need to saw & sand it. So here's my new rubber stamp:

In the process, after carving off the unwanted parts.

End result. Stamp it on the paper & it looks ok for me :)

Tadaaa~ My new mount which is from recycle cardboard box! :D. I've stamped on my recycle paper & glue it on top of the cardboard mounting.

Here's the side view of my new recycle cardboard mounting. I've glued 3 layers of the cardboard to give some thickness. Not that bad as the cardboard edges give the stamps a bit of special touch.

The best part is that we can safe more trees & less tedious work of sawing & sanding wood mounting!

What do you think of my new type of mounting? :)
