Introducing Dis'N'Dat

I've been wanting to design something that is simple to make and yet adorably weird. Something easy on the eyes and yet interesting enough with a personality. So I came up with Dis'N'Dat the space bunny who is wickedly adorable. He loves to hide in pockets and gets a kick out of pranking others. Thanks to his cute-ness, he often times gets away with it.

Dis'N'Dat stands at approximately 3.5 inch

This design is mainly inspired by one of my favourite Wii game, Rayman Raving Rabbids but with a twist in its personality. Dis'N'Dat is design to look smarter and not blur like the Raving Rabbits :D

Hope you guys enjoy my new bunny.

The Arrival Of............

SIR OINKSERLOT, the royal purple piggy! 


We shall hereby call upon Sir Oinkserlot to tell us a little bit more about himself. A round of applaud for Sir Oinkserlot.

Sir Oinkserlot : *with a low, suave voice* A very good day everyone. I'm Sir Oinkserlot, the royal purple piggy. I may look a little hippo-ish...Well...that's because my Great great great great Great grandmother married a hippo also because of her far-sightedness, near-sightedness and night-blindness plus colour-blindness but I assure you I'm every bit a PIG at heart.

I do love to eat and I sleep alot but I gotta say, dancing with the ladies shall remain my favourite past time. I respect mah ladies and I love mah ladies *big grin*. To all the ladies out there, you will never regret picking me *blow kisses and bow*


Thank you Sir Oinkserlot for joining us today. It's an honour for us to have you here.

ciao! *wink wink*

Finally Got The Machine

I finally got my Brothers CS-6000i sewing machine last week and I have to say I love it to bits. It's not the typical 600 dollars sewing machine that you buy from a sewing machine store. The CS-6000i is a sewing machine that's manufactured for commercial stores like Walmart, Target and Costco which is usually dubbed as the low grade sewing machine. 

I'm still very much a noob when it comes to operating a sewing machine and I just started my little softie making business thus I'm not ready to spend 600 bucks on a machine that I don't know if I'm capable of operating. So I did my homework, googling up every possible sewing machine guides and forums that I can find. Alas, I decided on getting the CS-6000i (only $176.87) as it has so many positive reviews and is even featured in one of the guides as the sewing machine of the year.

My first very own sewing machine named CuteBot 1.0

The CS-6000i is a 60 stitch computerized sewing machine with a wide variety of built-in utility, decorative and heirloom stitches. The feature that I love most has to be the 1-step bobbin replacement with quick set drop-in bobbin. Bobbin replacement was a nightmare in one of those homemaking class back in highschool using those black giant old sewing machine (my mother in law still has one stored in the shed :O) . It always ended with bunch up threads whenever I sew. Not a problem anymore. Even upper threading is made easy with this machine. No more eye popping when I attempt to put the thread through that tiny little hole.

Surprisingly the CS-6000i is very stable and quiet even though it's lightweight. That way I don't have to worry about waking MoofMoof up when I work late into the night. Here's the first little guy that I've made using the CS-6000i. Only 50% of it is machine stitched. Decoratives and piecing of the parts are hand stitched.

Mini Critters To Date

Here's a list of mini softies that I've designed and handmade for the past 3 months. Those that are still available are up for sale, those that are not can be ordered. Each and every critter is unique in their own way even if they are from the same design because they are drawn free hand and hand-crafted with care. I can promise that there won't be an exact replicate of one another. Love or hate, let me know.
