Trifold wallet

My 2 boys are big boys now. The other day we had a playdate at McDonalds, D saw his friend had a wallet, he bought food himself. Then when we reached home, he asked me to make for him a wallet. Of course K wanted it too even though he didn't know how to use it properly yet. K just want to follow his big brother. Whatever that D has, he has to has it. That's why some of the toys in my house are double. I wonder how to teach them to share. This age is just about jealousy, whatever my brother has he must has it too.

Ok, back to the wallet. So i look for the pattern and tutorial, as usual i found it in Craft Passion website. As usual, it comes with free pattern and tutorial. Seriously folks, this website is really good for beginner, a lot of nice projects.

Here is my boy's wallet with Superman fabric.

I made some amendment with the inner compartment. Sewn in more places for cards since he likes to play with CHIMA cards nowadays.

Overvall, this tutorial is easy to follow. ^_^

I'm gonna search for more projects to do now. Have a blessed week.

We are moving!!

Yes, we are moving to Canada next month May 28, 2014. Actually we are going to migrate there. It will be super duper fast, only left 1.5 months to go to pack our things, to sell some stuff and get ready for the new adventure.

When we told our friends about the new, they were so shocked. Many asked, " Why is it so fast?". Actually we have applied for Canada PR early 2010 and just received the approval in Dec 2013. So in total we have waited for almost 4 years for this answer. Pretty long huh. Yea.... That's because there was a strike while our PR was in process. That what made the process super long 😔.  We almost lost our hope in this application during the waiting period. But God is always good and forever good. He knows what we need and how to prepare us to be a better person, to depend and surrender to Him. During this waiting, while there were a lot of uncertainties, it was the best way to just look up, look to Jesus and cried out to Him. Even until now when the door is already opened for us to go, i pray daily that we will not forget God's goodness, faithfullness, mercy and grace forever. I pray daily that we keep growing strong in faith and in Him.

When we got the approval letter in Dec 2013, i got a mixed feeling. I was happy that finally it was approved. At the same time i was confused what to do next as we already "used to" waiting. Even until now i still can't believe it that we are going to there. Is it just a dream??

So many things need to packs. Our kids stuff, toys, clothes, books, shoes, my sewing stuff, my beautiful fabrics and our COLLECTIONS. Yes, we are toys collector. We collect lego, die-cast pixar cars, tomica cars, chuggington, thomas. My husband collect transformers, coca cola. Below photo just shows 1/5 or our collections 😓😱. Still have many to go. 

I also made some things for our friends and teachers as farewell gifts.

I made monster eye masks for kids which they might use in the plane. You can see the tutorial and download the pattern from Spoonful.

 

Add hooks to our neck pillow for easy carry during our trip. 

I have been staying in Singapore for almost 15 years, since July 1999. I am gonna miss Singapore so much. I'll miss the sun, beach, Sentosa, but i won't miss the haze though. But what i will miss the most are my friends. I will miss the Sengkangers Gals so much. I will miss my "International" sisters and their kids so much. I love them so much and enjoy spending time with them. They have been a great help and support when i need them. Tq my dear sisters. As for now we just need go treasure our time together.
