Daily Currents..

Do you love writing on journals?

I’d always love to make a daily journal, but sometimes I just don’t know how to start..
And I was browsing and found this cute ideas on everyday journaling.. but you can also do this once a week.

I found the idea on Avital's blog, who got the idea from Elise, and Elise got it from Amy who got it from Tina.. hahaha.. that's a really long line.. :-p

Anyway, the journal is really easy to make, the prompts/lists are already provided and repetitive.. It’s about the current things you are listening, eating, wearing, needing, wanting and even the weather. It’s really easy to keep up..

By the way, you can also check it out on Avital's blog, she's giving free printables of prompts.

These photos are Elise’s & Avital’s current journal..
I hope you enjoy making them as I think I will.. and just like Elise said, it’s a fun documentation exercise..

P.S. I already made a link of these post on my wordpress account, you can visit there if you want to look for their web link. thank you

My Milk Toof by Inhae..

I found a really cute blog when I was browsing on Facebook today.. a friend of mine likes a photo uploaded there and I clicked it.. and wooow.. I just couldn't stop browsing on the blog.

It's a story about two milk teeth character created by Inhae, an artist from Berkeley, California.
They were called ickle and Lardee, and she named her blog My Milk Toof.. visit the blog here.. and if you want to become the fan in FB here..

She made little tooth characters from polymer clay with a lot of expressions and then, took sequence photos of them, and make them cute adorable stories.. The photos were taken greatly too that I love starring at them (^^,)* I might want to take some for my desktop wallpaper..
I hope Inhae is going to make comic books, calendar, or toys of the MMT soon..

Check this one that I like most..

When I was young, I placed my baby teeth under my pillow and when I woke up I'd find a shiny new quarter. But whatever happened to those little teeth? Where did they go? Would I ever see them again?

Many years later, a little tooth was standing at my door. It looked familiar. Its name was ickle. Welcome home, my milk toof!

Some Afternoon Mellow

"ickle, wanna play?"

"Nah, I'm reading."

And this one is my favorite expression of ickle..

Oh dear, ickle has two new baby teeth growing in! When your first teeth come in, it's always very itchy and sore. To soothe the pain, ickle has been nibbling on things all over the house.

Check the story here..

Copycat or plagiat? How should we call it?

Ugh ugh ugh.. I'm so pissed!!

Finally made a message reply for a friend of mine, Jiewa. He's asking about flannel handicraft for his girlfriend.
I'm so so so happy when I found someone whose also interested in crafting.. especially flannel.. so I end up searching for crafters web addresses that I often visit, the blog group I joined, copy paste the addresses for him.. I enjoy it, because I also can see their creations, who knows they'll give me some inspiration (^^,)*

And THEN!! DANG!!
I'm so pissed when I found this multiply user.
She sells flannel creations, her handmade.. but she put others creations photos on her site and claimed them as her own (by putting her shops' stamps on them).
Well, it is up to her if she took the pictures from the book, if she made her flannel stuff based on it, but the other crafters photos, please deh.. I recognise most of them.. I've seen them on flickr, multiply etc..

I've read this kind of case in some of my inspirations blogs (other crafters blog that has inspired me, and usually are foreigners, not Indonesian), never thought it could happen to me too..
I guess that's why you really should put a watermark on your published on websites photos.
I really encourage you all to do that.. I think I'm going to start mine too.. HA!

I personally, sometimes loves to copy and re-make others people creations that really interest me. I think they're so talented and I adore them, and I keep them for myself.
Sometimes I give it to friends, still, with a knowledge that I have someone else as an example.
Never, in my life.. copy other peoples' creations (photos or stuff) and claimed them as my own.

This is the picture of my pies that she took and this is where she put it











I posted this on my multiply and made a post about it on April 22, 2007.. WOW! it's two years ago..

Sigh..what should I do guys? Should I send her an email and confront her about it?

Domo kun applique for beb..

My beb told me one day, he just ruined his green Giordano t-shirt.. accidentally kecoret pake spidol. And he planned to make drawings to cover it..
I told him "hey, why don't I make an applique of your favorite character.. then you can sew it on to cover the mark?" haha.. there comes the idea to make Domo kun applique..
I didn't know he likes Domo kun until he saw little Domo plush hanging on my bag (sometime after new year) hehe..




That's a picture of Domo applique before sewed.. I don't have a better pic, sorry.
And below is Domo plush & Domo applique together.. hehe..















P.S. To know what Domo is, you can see the videos here. And the story about spoon is so funny. Don't miss it!

Cupcake..

Seen a lot of cupcake plush and lately cupcakes lagi nge-booming.. banyak orang rame2 jualan cupcake..
Aku juga suka beli..terutama karena suka banget ama bentuk and warna nya yang imut2.. hahaha..
Well, rasa nya juga enak sih (aku baru nyoba yang punya Cupcakes di Supermall, Sby).

Cupcakes ini inspired by Patchwork Pottery, pattern-nya aku tebak2 sendiri..untung jadi nya oke..hehehe.. tp masih g sebagus punya PP sih..
hehehe..

Selamat menikmati.. (^^,)*
