Tuffadoll's New Design: I Love Vespa

It's been a while since my first design on Society6, and now I'm back! :p So, it's a dolly girl riding vespa with her cat, how cute is that? Hehe.. I'm so excited to draw a Vespa, even though my drawing is far from amazing fine detail like it should be, but I remember it shape just like I remember my own face.. really?? Well, not that detail, but my father has been a huge fan of Vespa for as long as I can remember, so we were riding a lot when I was a kid.

I love the shade of vintage Vespa, a dusty old turquoise, that reminds me the old time when riding a Vespa is a must in our neighborhood..haha.. Well, time has changed but some people just can't let go off their old style, don't you think?

I think for my father, Vespa is not just a ride, it's a pride. So how about you? Do you love Vespa too?

This design is available at my Shop on Society6, check it out now!

Embroidery Roses Skirt and Hat

Last year I'm so addicted with hand embroidery. I was like, embroidering everyday and can't stop thinking about new embroidery project for Syana's clothes. This skirt is inspired by a Japanese embroidery book. I'm using cream cotton fabric and brown embroidery floss. This skirt is super easy to make and look so cute on Syana ^^

Look how excited she was, and the first time she saw the skirt, she was amazed with the embroidery. She tried to pull the the embroidery floss off, because she thought it was glued or something..lol. It took me about three days to finish this skirt and hat, embroidery really takes a lot of patience. So what do you think? Hope you're inspired. Have a good day! ^^ 

Sketching Elsa

I love Frozen, and as always, Disney have made imagination came to life! Elsa is my favorite character, but I try to add a little bit of my style in it.. *eh?.. Happy sketching all! ^^ 

Little Black Polka Dress with Hat for Syana

I made this dress when Syana about 2 years old, she's always excited to try new clothes. It makes me even more excited to make her a new one, lol. This dress made of Japanese cotton fabric, with cotton flowery bias tape, and pearl embellishment. She loves the hat so much, and still using it till now (it's been almost two year!).

Granny Bag for Mom

I made this last year for my Mom. Actually she's kind of a picky about wearable, but I think she like it (despite the fact that I'm her daughter and she's just being nice to me lol). Granny bag is quite simple to make, and maybe someday I'll make the tutorial for you.. Ooouch, 'someday' sounds like I'm not committed to really making it, but noooo, I really mean it.. :D 

Syana's Doodle Mug

Sometimes it's all about the utensils, when talking about food to your kids. Well, it must be quite frustrating at first, when you find out that your kids is a picky eater. But wait.., after few experiment that I've done while serving a meal for Syana, I realize that she is not so picky for food after all, but more about the cutlery! For example, when I change her regular plate into fancy Hello Kitty plate, or the 'kiddo' fork with 'adult' fork (but with super dull tip), her mood becomes better, and also her appetite. Oh and she loves surprise on her plate. So I always try to do some extra treatment to avoid the picky eater syndrome, usually by let her pick her own favorite cutlery.

Syana and Ginger Embroidery Cushion

..

Syana is so addicted to cat. Although I still in doubt to let her have her own cat, but my neighbor's cats always become her favorite. She also likes balloon a lot! One day when we went to the grocery store, she saw a pack of assorted color balloons and immediately asked me to buy it. Since we don't have the pump, my husband and I were blowing out all of those balloons until our cheek felt so puffy and swollen, hahaha.. but it was so much fun, lol. Then I'm inspired to make cushion for her with cat and balloon embroidery on it.

Tutorial: Foxy Rolling Brush Pouch

Lately my obsession of painting is growing into new level of collecting and comparing art tools, including paints, brushes, and papers. My latest art tools collection is two sets of brushes, the flat and round, that my father bought me a few weeks ago while I visited him with my daughter. I'm so grateful that my father is always supportive in everything I do, especially when I decided to become a full time mother and spend my spare time doing crafty things.

Sleepy Mermaid Pouch

One day my daughter asked me to draw her a mermaid, and I'm so excited to draw it because mermaid is one of my favourite character too. Then I suddenly came up with the idea of making pencil pouch, since my drawing tools seems exponentially increasing in the past few weeks, and my older pencil case is full with my sewing tool (which is rapidly growing too :-p).

Sad Little Girl

One afternoon, few weeks ago, as usual my daughter played along with her friends, while I did some sketching with my new fancy graphit pencil (sadly it's broken now -_-). But I didn't know why, she was crying a lot and fighting over toys, random babling, and sometimes they even fighting over a song that they didn't even know how to spell the lyrics.. it's frustatingly funny to see actually..lol. Then suddenly my skecth book came up with this sad little girl face, I must've been so overwhelmed with my daughter's wierd mood. I haven't finish this sketch yet, I think I'll save it for another girls afternoon fight.
