Waiting EAGERLY for my Treasure Thread Chest!!!!

Oh gosh, just when I thought the weight that is going to be charged for this item is 33.5lbs, it end up as 20.58kg!!!! Because the volumetric exceed the dead weight (33.5lbs is abt 13.5kg++)... so I end up paying USd138++ for this item including one other item *Laura Mercier stuffs which i later realised is OLD OLD OLD stock. Pui

Anyway the item will be delivered to me tomorrow! So eager to see my stuffs!!! I hope it will deliver in a good condition with everything inside.

I paid GST for this too. So total the chest will cost me like $750!!!!!!! ZZZZzzzzzzzzzz
but it has 1 Mega Bundle Disc @ $799 (Now revert back to this price) in this special Bundle!!! The other disc is already with this Chest at $399 so i dont add this in the deal

Madeira Treasure Chest promotion II

The vendor (distributor) market this item as 5 days sales only! I think its during Thanksgiving till Black Friday... weekend and ends on Monday.

After Monday, the item is no longer available on the vendor site. Even the dealers are removing this from their catalogue. WOW so its really a fanastic deal!

Previously the designs are bidding till 160USd or 200USD at Ebay. I gave up because i only like a few design packs in the whole bundle and I am not willing to pay so much for them. I am glad I didnt! hehehehhehe :P

I have done it! PHEW

Nice?????????

I dont think I want to do this for $$$ because its really time consuming. I spend ONE whole day (serious) doing this from scratch. The ribbon n flowers are done by Daniel's sister. :P

If I am doing this for $$$, I think $100 will fit the price of this pillow. Sound expensive right? But material cost is really very expensive. Plus designs plus the testing out of the names etc on the satin material. All this take time. I think I have spend no less than 2 days in time to work from stabilising the items, testing out tension, design, names etc for the pillow. Really time consuming.

So I dont think I will do this gain. Unless, I am on very close r/s with the couple.

Someone said this is not nice.......... so most probably dropping this

This rose too out so drop this. COlor combination is for fun first. Testing out design is my 1st priority. Threads are expensive so I wont use those smaller cones to try.

This is another design. Maybe I choose something from this set or what ba.........

The date is out because either i put outside of the heart or before/above the name...... I am thinking of using metallic threads throughout but its too expensive........ somemore shipped from US. I am not sure if I should use them. If i use them, how much should I charge......
This is my Ring pillow test out....done a few........ just anyhow use the threads as threads are very expensive too so cannot afford to waste them.

The heart is slanted too but thats because I didnt use the sticky stabiliser which is also...... more expensive. *faint*.

Embroidery Stuffs

These are the items I bought from US and SIL very nice to help me bring them back.... Cannot get them in Sg. I saw something similar (Stabiliser) at a place but they are full of dust, very old packaging like never sell out for yearsss and they are very very expensive. One small pack already 50$++

The black stuff with some metal rodes is a thread stand. This is very good! I bought one from SG and then the stand always fall Zzzzzm and the thread holder cannot hold the thread.... so this is really wow, very good thread holder!!!

These are the pretty AND EXPENSIVEEEEEEE metallic threads... pretty pretty.... but the 2 packs one sala le.

And then that roll of tape is AMAZING Tape. Said to wrap ard threads and also books/pipes etc... all the funny things and why its so amazing? it can be reused. I just tried it. Not bad.
