design a tote bag



 get a muji plain tote bag. they sell it in 3 sizes, 
small (A5), medium (A4, with base and without base), large (A3) 
prices are as follows: $1.90, $2.90, $2.30, $3.90. 
i bought each of every size they had, except for the medium one without base. 
i felt the medium one had the perfect size. 

go online, search for a pattern or design you like and print it out. 
i would highly suggest that you print the image in colour, 
it will help you later on when you colour your design. 

 fold your bag horizontally such that it forms a line that will mark the middle of the bag and act as a guiding line. place your image in the bag and adjust it to the position you would like the design to be. 
grab a pencil and trace it! 


 now, remove your image from the bag and place at a thin stack of paper inside the bag. 
get a permanent marker that can mark on any surface and trace over your pencil marking. 
now your image will come in handy as you retrace it according to the image. 
because you might make mistakes on your pencil trace. 
the paper inside the bag will also ensure that the ink does not seep through and stain the other side of the bag. 


 now on the same bag, get another design and create your own design. 





 this project was extremely tough! 
mind ya, i made many modifications to the design if you can see. but its alright, 
at least the general design and feel is there! 

i am thinking of colouring the sunflower look-alike flower and the bottom and top of the design.
what do you think?

mega huge macaroon @ Penny University








the macaroon was superb the mocha is great. totally money worth.

the macaroon is not stuffed with the usual sweet paste, but earl grey ice-cream. totally neuralises the sweetness of the macaroon sandwich. perfect combination with dark chocolate and strawberries and blue berry bits.

its simply love! you must try it!

poka dotted and all hand-made





 i found this lovely laptop bag at a pushcart shop in bugis street. it was such a steal i must buy it. it was a perfect fit for my office laptop and a compartment for files and documents. i love the simplicity of the bag and everything about the colour and poka dots.

if you are thinking of getting it, its one of the pushcarts along the 'street' beside the sex shop. sorry bad direction-ing, but the sex shop makes a good landmark. it cost me only $12 and they sell many more quirky bags and pouches like these. you will fall in love with them! a total steal!
