Pictures of Fabrics/Swap

Address has been blurred...... of course must blur otherwise receipent address will be shown what!

The postage is $9.85........................................ The most expensive one i send out overseas. I didnt know overseas shipping cost is so high for medium weight stuffs. i thought its like 5-6. Next time choose lighter gift for swap hehehee

Items are not to be disclosed as my swap partner hasnt received them. Can only show them when she received it.



My fabrics........................ $380+++ ARGK!

One side of the fabrics packaging

THe top view of the packaged fabrics. The 2nd one (knits checks) very expensive! $20++ per yard.

A close pic of the fabrics.................... cant bear to use them. I plan to use them on bags and not for household items. because cannot bring out and 'flash' hehehhehee. But the goat fabrics i will use it for book cover.

Fabrics Order...........

WWW is really scary place to shop for things. To date, I have spend like $200+ on Amazon.com, ard $400 for threads and machine....... $100+ for shipping (all in SGD), then now $380+++ on FABRICS?!?!?! WHAT AM I THINKING MANZ...........

So total i spend like coming to $1000? if its not for this entry, i will not type these out and then i NEVER realised i spend like SGD$1000 (ard USD650) within a month for sewing related stuffs. Wakaoz..... Why do I buy embroidery machine in the very first place? If I didnt buy this, then I dont have to buy threads! I dont have to buy books to learn HOW TO SEW?!?

UOB has this promotion of 1.5k for overseas spending and then u get a sony player FOC (first come first served)..... i thought its hard to hit and thought i only spend like $500 in total. WRONG. so now, i have only 500more or less then i can hit the 1.5k overseas spending (note:you dont have to be overseas to charge yr card for overseas expenditure)

ZZzzzzzzzzzzzz

and I shall post my fabrics pic up soon..... waste of $. Worse of all, i still feel like BUYING MORE fabrics. and then i DONT know how to do bags yet.......... Hooohoooooooo what a "joke".

My 1st Fabric Swap Partner!

Wowwwwwwww my swap partner, Lia is from Europe. I never imagine swapping or msg someone thats like at the other side of the globe. I've never been to Europe and looking through Lia's photo makes me want to go Europe! So pretty! And i realised the pics really 'suit' my new music. So relaxing.....

But if I want to go Europe, I need to take leave. .... Its hard to get > 2weeks leave to tour around Europe. If I were to go Europe, I need at least SGD5000 (or USD3500)+? including tour package + expenditures. Oh ya, I want to buy luxury items so i think at least total SGD10k? Hmmmmmn........

"Uniquely Mine - Hello Kitty"

Da da............ My Hello Kitty!!!

When my Janome is on.

Notice my Hello Kitty Machine is now very 'Hello Kitty'? So happy I choose this range of stickers. Really match my machine existing Hello Kitty (green ribbon).

More pictures!!!

Yoho these are add on of my pictures.




Hello Kitty Machine Test Drive

Hmmn....... I test drive the sewing machine. Bought a step up/step down transformer in order to use this. The last thing i want is smell burnt smell. Last time i 'burnt' my cousin color sega player....... COLOR one manz. very expensive in that 'era'. hehee

The straight stitches isnt straight. No time to test out the tension. Need to go Zzzzz.........

Anyway after the short test drive, I sticked on the Hello Kitty stickers i bought earlier onto the machine. So Hello Kitty now. Woohooo. Uniquely Hello Kitty.

I will be updating my "Unique" Hello Kitty Machine soon. With my other machine. Stay Tune..... ZZzZzzzzzz

My US Orders..........

Yoho. these are my products ordered via www shipped to Borderlinx. Shipping charges is abt 100+ SGD for approx 14kg which is pretty reasonable.
I ordered books, embroidery threads (very expensive but they are much moreeeeeee expensive here), scissors etc and also a Hello Kitty sewing machine!!! wohooo siao char bor so must go buy transformer else if i use HK directly, it will chao tar i supposed. (burnt like chemical smell)

My embroidery and sewing stuffs. costed over USD150+ so its abt SGD$230+++ if not wrong EXP right? but if i buy from Singapore, one of the thread bost is already $79 and OUT OF STOCK.

See the 2 gold stuffs? They are purse clips? and shit. They are MADE IN TAIWAN. Why am I ordering something from US, paying USD for something thats Made in Taiwan? Dont get me wrong, I didnt say that Taiwan stuffs are lousy etc. Just feel that I could have ask someone buy from Taiwan (same quality at lower price) than to pay shipping+USD + US Tax right? THe others like threads are made in Germany. The scissors are made in Italy, box in China.

Those threads not in boxes are metallic or rayon. I think only 1 is rayon, another invisible thread. THe rest all metallic. all of them are very expensive. The metallic is like SGD7-10? Cannot remember but the amt of $ just multiply because u cannot use 1 color n do embroidery designs. unless its those outlines we are talking abt

The books and exercise dvds. This amt of books are like what i can buy in 5-8yrs?
