Plums

I love plum flowers. In fact, my logo is inspired by plum flowers. I finally finished this bag after it was cut into a shape of a bag long time ago...

My first introduction to leather!

This is my latest shoulder bag that I made for my friend. It is made with corduroy, woollen kimono fabric and a piece of suede at the bottom. Sewing this with my poor Janome proves to me how leather is thick and tough and strong. For a long time, I kind of avoided using leather for handbags for the sake of vegetarian people. However, I just wanted to see if my sewing machine could cope with leather. It did. Hooray!

My favourite incense

I know you can't smell this lovely incense, but I wanted to share this with you. This is my favourite one at the moment. It is called "Goddess" by Moondance. I usually love Japanese incense, but I discovered this brand at my local health food shop recently and I am hooked! I intend to try all the fragrances eventually but I like this one most so far. It has subtle sweetness and the fragrance stays in the house all day long. I tend to light the incense when I make my coffee. As my espresso maker hisses on the stove, I light the incense and just look at the beautiful twirls. Serene....
