I have been
extremely busy since the start of the new year, both at the office front and at home with my craft
projects under the Uniquely Aznique label.
Ever since the start of this year, I set myself a target to try to use up as much of my
stash as possible and to try to make as many items as possible, either to give
away as gifts or to sell under the Uniquely Aznique label.
I think it’s
time my stash works for me to bring in some extra cash. *grin*
I think I will be
needing a lot of extra cash come the end of the year when a certain purchase we
made, God willing, materializes, at the end of the year.
So, this
year, I set about making as many Little Missy handbags as possible as my time
would permit, at the same time having so much fun playing with the colourful
fabrics I had accumulated over the years and coordinating them to get just that
right combination.
I finally
put up my first Little Missy up for sale on the 4th of March 2014.
Guess what?
It was snapped up within hours of being put up! Wow! I am ecstatic to say the
least! LOL!
To add to my
excitement, my friends from school started making orders for my personalised
embroidered towels and pouches!
Talk about taking the right step at the right
time! LOL!
Syukur
alhamdullilah!
The last 2 months was also my busiest time at the office front, coming home late on most
days. So I ended up staying up late almost every night fulfilling the orders.
I am not
complaining, of course. I enjoyed staying up working on the orders, and getting
reacquainted with Em (my embroidery machine, to those who doesn't know that I
call her Em) after ignoring her for almost a year!
On Friday, 21st March, I delivered, well, ok, my friend, Lela, picked
up her order for 2 sets of towels containing a bath towel, hand towel and face
towel in purple, and 2 single orders of bath towels in blue.
I did not
get a chance to personally meet up with Lela to know if she likes my choice of
design, *wink*, but she did say that her boys like them. *smile*
The following weekend, I spent fulfilling another personalised embroidered towel order for 2 bath
towels in blue and a single order for a bath towel in pink.
I really
enjoyed doing the embroidery works for the blue sets of towels as I really like
this maritime design of an anchor and a compass. I just love the colours!
They were delivered the end of the week that I finished the order, just as requested by Aini, a friend from school.
I hope Aini
will like them as much as I had enjoyed embroidering them.
My next
order was for two cosmetic pouches.
Nora had
ordered the pouches with personalised embroidery.
I made the
pouch a little bigger than the pouch I made before shown at my blog, because
I thought that a bigger pouch would be better to put in make-up as some make-up
items might be taller and bigger.
The original size of my pouch is 3 ½” x 3 ½” x 7”. This new one is approximately 5” x 5” x 8”.
I hope Nora
likes them.
Just as I was about to mail out the pouches to her, she made an order for 2 towels.
Thanks, Nora, for your second order. :)
Thanks to Aini and Lela too for your orders!
Thanks to Aini and Lela too for your orders!
More Little Missies will be posted here soon.
I am just looking for the time to photograph them in good natural lighting.
Do visit
again soon.
