bargain hunting on Ebay

I always look for bargain, call me cheapskate. Who doesn't want to buy branded items for less than RRP. I think everyone I know love to shop especially during sales. Uuuuuhhh! I love sales, sales, sales. But sometimes, even sales items are still too expensive for stay at home mum like me.

That's why Ebay is the first stop I will hunt for bargain. I will never pay more than $10 for a second hand clothes and not more than $20 for a brand new with tag clothes. I like it when I can pick up the items that I won, that save me shipping cost for around $5 - $10. I've been buying many clothes for my daughter from Ebay. Here is a couple of brand new with tags brand name clothes that I bought.

This beautiful winter dress is by Run Scooty Run.

There you have it, RRP$ 54.95, bought it for $17.50. Bargain!!!

The second dress is by Osh Kosh. Due to the thickness of the material, I decided to buy it for winter. My daughter can wear it with long sleeves and leggings with boots. Oh not to forget, with beanie too =)
RRP$ 59.95, bought it for $8.50. Wacko!!!

After all, we still can wear a brand name clothes without paying the price tag. Happy bargain hunting ;p

I shopped at TARGET

Today, I went to TARGET with the intention to buy space bag but end up with these.
*oh! I did actually bought the space bag.*





I saw this rinser cup and thought for few seconds... *tik* *tok* *tik* *tok* *tik* *tok*... Oh! I really need that. I mean, Brooklyn really need that. Because she hates it every time when I washed her hair and the water went in to her eyes. So, this is a really good tool for her bath time. Only $12.99, I think its a good buy.


Then, I saw this....a seat organiser???? Which mums doesn't want one. I know you can get better than this and more expensive, but who want that when you can get the cheaper version of seat organiser from TARGET. Again, I think it is a good buy for only $12.99. Because I sit at the back with my daughter while daddy do the driving, our car tends to get dirty and messy by the end of our road trip. I bring lots of toys, books and snack for her just to entertain her in the car, because she doesn't like to sit not even 5mins. So I hope with this organiser, it will make our car look more tidy and organised. ;)

On my way to the checkout, I spotted this blouse. While I was holding it, I heard this cute little voice said "nice" with a cheeky smile. Oooooh my lovely daughter. I can't say no, I have to get it. But I have to get a belt to go with it, otherwise I will look round and short-er wearing this LOL. So, I bought the belt... blouse is $29 and belt is $12.


OK, for this two headband, I didn't buy them anywhere. Instead, I made it myself. I made them for my sister's baby. They are both interchangeable nylon headband. The left headband is 2-in-1. The folded fabric flower (kazanshi) is attached to a lined alligator clip and can also be use as a hair clip. The flower on the right is attached to a pin brooch. It is also can be use on a top, handbag, hat/ cap, etc. Nylon headband are streatchable and can be use for a newborn baby. It is soft and will not leave a mark on you baby's head.

Off to serve dinner for my daughter.

Plans for the year

So, I have been thinking and planning what I'm going to do next until end of the year. There is so much to do, yet so little time. So far, I had done the alligator line clip, if that's what they call it. I also done the covered snap clip, and few bows.

I just purchased few more ribbons and clips last week and still waiting for them to arrive from US. Oh!! and also my very first designer fabric by Robert Kaufman. Woohoh! Can't wait. So, back to my plan, I will be updating my blog with all the projects that I will be doing. But as for now, no material means no project.

As a new crafter, I am looking for more inspiration and knowledge in every angle I can get. I had spend more time googling for free tutorial; materials; suppliers; and other crafters blog just to be part of the crafting world; then I spend in front of the mirror. Having said that, I will be linking all the free tutorial that I've found just for you crafters lover. I hope you enjoy and have fun doing all the crafts.

Here are some of the hair clips and bows that I've done so far.

I'm turning 29

Been meaning to start blogging weeks ago and finally I'm here. I think this is my 3rd blog that I have but oh boy I'm so lazy to update. My goal for this one is to keep it going till my last breath.

The reason I open this blog is to; not only jot down things that happen to me daily but also I wanted to try to sell my handmade stuff here together with my other personal collections.

But having said that, 1st of all I have to get more traffic to my blog. Well, we'll see...

Oh tomorrow, yeah, tomorrow is the 30th of January 2010. I almost forgot that. Haha! I will be 29 tmrw. Oh boy! Happy Birthday to me, yipee! and many more to come.
