There are times when all the world’s asleep and the questions run too deep.

Sewing (am I going to start every entry with the word “sewing” from now?) is tiring, especially when you are a rookie. But sewing is also absolutely self-gratifying, even if you are a rookie! Plus, I have my own sewing box now, courtesy to the wonderfully supportive girlfriend who not only thinks it’s a great hobby but joins me as well. Check out my Flower Power keychain and the Father’s Day gift she made for her dad (they celebrate it on August 8 in Taiwan because 八八 is homonymic to 爸爸).

@mrscjallen: Thank you so much for your kind comment! I’ve only just begun sewing and I hope these things are the practice-makes-perfect sort. I have so much respect for the women who are terrific at it.

@ADe: Time flies when I’m sewing! 
The sewing part is actually very easy because we’ve all sewn at some point or other but the finishing is insane! Nehmind, then let him sew lor.
@xinle: Hahahaha I know! You’re are the more 賢妻良母 one. I bought cotton! But I have other plans for the 3D stuff. Just trying out lah haha I tried to sew the seams in today. It turned out pretty okay!

Your flower keychain is cute. Although I don’t know why but when I first saw it, I thought it was a butterfly or a dragonfly.
What a great idea!
And…I agree…sewing can be tiring, but isn’t it absolutely the best?
