I stole your keyboard clutch


Shambijoux is an independent shop located in Malaysia selling beautiful imported fabrics. If you're a crafter in Asia, do drop by her shop. Her selection of fabrics are exquisite and affordable. Her shop also sometimes feature her handmade crafts. You can check out her stuff here.

My personal favourite:


I love this quirky clutch bag. How can you not?!
You get to carry around the QWERTY keyboard with you at ALL times!



Nothing says retro more than statements!

Fortune cookies of looove.


How cute are these? They may not cost an arm and a leg, but I think if my significant other left little fortune cookies of love like these around the house for me to find (with nice fortunes of course) I'd be one very very smitten woman :) Besides, nothing says "You're special" to me more than the time and effort spent into creating handmade gifts.

Learn how to make these cute gifts yourself with Martha Stewart here.

Smile and the world smiles at you


I'm a lover of most things strange and socially unacceptable, I'm not sure what to make of this piece of art.

My first on Etsy

Just wanted to share a bit of happy news. 2010 kicked off with my very first sale on Etsy!

the new year

It's finally 2010! I've been itching for it to arrive, and now that it's already here I'm feeling a little reminiscent of 2009. Though there's lots to look forward to in the next 11 and a half months (from anticipating a real test on my organizational skills to an entirely new life), here's just a compilation of what 2009 meant to me:


I bought half a TV. It's my first and 32" and kicks ass.

I found my sewing machine again, and Albert was born.



Sam got a raincoat too.

A rude awakening. Ouch.

A wonderful Christmas with my boys.


A new beginning.

hello!

thanks for stopping by and welcome to in the event of inspiration___: a collection of what inspires me, from books and letters to handcrafted goodness. this will be my first personal project 365 though i'm about 6 days behind already!
