Rabbit Couple Felt Dolls

This week I try working with felt and in a sudden I got an idea to create a rabbit couple dolls...

I draw the pattern my self. If you like to make your own, just find the template here. The process are as follows:

				First, prepare the basic tools & materials required, there are: felt (skin color), thread + needle, scissors, glue, and dacron. You can also prepare additional materials such as: embroidery/knitting yarn, beads, ribbons/lace, or flowers to fancy up the doll.
				Second, trace the doll pattern onto the felt. For a doll, trace the body part 2 times. Then, cut out all the pieces.
				Draw the face expression with water soluble marker. Then, stitch the face using backstitch. Add the ornaments, here I add a piece of black felt bow tie for the male doll and, crochet flower and lace for the female doll. You could also add blush on into the female's face to make it more dainty.
				Put the body part together using blanket stitch. Leave the bottom side.
				Stuff the body with dacron. You can use the help of a stick or the tip of scissors to insert dacron into the ear.
				And the last, attach the bottom part using blanket stitch.

These felt dolls are really so quick and easy to make. They're great as wedding gift or decoration...

Freeze In Front of TV

Last week my sister got full series of Nodame Cantabile live action, so I decided to spent this weekend just watching on it. This drama based on hit comic book by Tomoko Ninomiya and aired first time by Fuji TV on 2006.

The drama opened by Chiaki Shinichi, who is one of the most talented music student at the Momogaoka Music Academy. However, his ambition to become a conductor and study under the renowned Sebastiano Viera puts him at odds with his piano teacher, Etou. Chiaki’s fear of flying prevents him from leaving Japan to become Viera’s student. After being dropped from Etou’s class, which leads to Chiaki also being dumped by his girlfriend, Tagaya Saiko, Chiaki meets by accident with a bizarre, messy girl, Noda Megumi (who insists on being called “Nodame”), the 3rd grade student in Momogaoka. Nodame is an extremely talented pianist who wants to be a preschool teacher, she prefers playing by ear rather than reading the music score. She is messy and disorganized, takes baths several days apart and loves to eat, sometimes stealing her friend's lunchbox when it is filled with delicacies.

Chiaki doesn’t like Nodame, but is strangely drawn to her. On the other hand, Nodame almost instantly falls in love with Chiaki, but it takes much longer for Chiaki to even begin to appreciate Nodame's unusual qualities. Their relationship causes them both to develop and grow. Along the way, they meet some crazy people (like Masumi, Mine, and Stresemann) and make lasting friendships. Because of Nodame, Chiaki gets the opportunity to lead a student orchestra and begins to have a broader appreciation of people's musical abilities. Because of Chiaki, Nodame faces her fears and enters a piano competition. Opportunities open up as both begin taking risks, stretching themselves far more than they ever thought possible.

I love this drama, the characters was varies and unique. I play it several times but never getting bored.

Butterfly Babydoll Dress

Initially I made this babydoll dress for my self, but after finished it I don't feel comfortable with the neckline. Since I made it in all size, I give it to my mom.

Here is the design

I had work out the design pretty good, I use trumpet sleeve, u neckline and ruffles.
Unfortunately I cut the neckline too low. Luckily the dress fit to my mom and it became hers now

Craft Idea

I found Japanese craft book and it's totally amazing...

This book include a variety projects like book cover, cellphone strap, pillow cover, but bag are mostly. That charming stuff made from natural fibers like linen and cotton.



At the back of the book there are patterns and instructions for all projects.
I think the "how to" section are very clear and easy to follow, although I don't know what the instructions said.
Everything look stunning n I can't hardly wait to create my own project... \^0^/

I'm on Burda

Waw... what an honor....

Salah satu project saya yaitu "Grey Cotton Dress" dibahas dalam artikel "Fall Looks To Make Today" pada blog Burda Style.. Hee.. he.. That's really make me blush...

Unbelievable.. coz it's just a simple dress with a simple shape...
Awalnya saya tidak berniat untuk mem-publish project ini karena ke-simpel-annya dan kekurangannya dalam beberapa hal. Tapi karena waktu itu tidak ada project lain yang layak untuk di show-off di depan publik, ya... iseng-iseng saja saya upload. Ehh.. tidak disangka... apresiasinya diluar dugaan... Saya bener2 excited...

Ini membuat saya semakin semangat untuk membuat project2 baru yang lebih baik dan lebih kreatif lagi..
Chiayooo....
