The Backpack

So I bought the Everlane backpack awhile ago. After a hustle bustle from San Francisco through this and that through here and there it has finally landed so safely and so pretty in my fat hands in Jakarta! (Thanks to Rocky and Kak Almer and my bro).

The detail was so nice. The website doesn't lie. Seriously. The canvas was so sturdy. The leather snap and the drawstring was sleek. The interior was also sleek. The laptop sleeve. Not a single regret. Here's pictures of it.

Cheering Pom Poms

Latest boredom//sadness killer.

Yesterday, I went home pretty earlier cause I thought I'd rather finish work at home since the pc is more convenient at home. Arriving home happy, refreshing with some new episode of favorite tv series and ready to get down to work.

Until I left my flash-drive attached at the office computer.

I got so bummed, and decided to make pom poms, inspired by the vamoose, whose creation is adorably lovely. I worked on this pom poms until quite late and find myself very happy after finishing one. Need some more practice to perfect the flow. 

Now I am really sure, crafting turns my mood downside up :)

D.I.Y Fever

I still got the rush to make another DIY, actually, this type/kind/style of necklace is what I want to make about a couple weeks ago, but hadn't really done it yet, until todaaaay!!! This one, I saw it first at Hello Giggles (instructions click here). Got another left over shirt, bigger than I used yesterday, so I could make this one!! 

Unfortunately, the shirt used at Hello Giggles was an no-seam side type of shirt, different than what is usually sold in Indonesia, so I had to make adjustment here and there. Fortunately, I found a mini-hand-held sewing machine on my drawer, so it could help a bit with my messy stitching.

Voila!

D.I.Y : Deal It Yourself

I was kinda upset yesterday, so I decided to jump on this D.I.Y to cheer myself up.

I was blogwalking some DIY blogs yesterday, and I found this very reasonably done statement fabric neclace here. So I thought, this could be a spice to my already dead-end-mix-and-match wardrobe. I basically just follow the instruction, though it's a bit tricky on most of the part (the accordion folding and the ribbon attachment). I was also reckless in sewing so the necklace wasn't as neat as it suppose to be but then I adjust it by covering this and that using the left-over fabrics. Pretty fly for a newbie, or should I say, long time not-sewing person.

Voila!

New Year Coming, New Bracelet All Set

Found these bracelet at the mall today! The old me would brace self and find strings for a little D.I.Y. But now, it's a grab and pay thing hahaha... It's pretty cheap so I bought it without second thought-ing it. Gonna wear it tomorrow! Yeay!
