Winner of my last giveaway for 2012

Thank you all for entering my giveaway. Also, thank you for taking the time to introduce yourself. It's always interesting to see how people describe themselves. I enjoyed reading every description and I'm sorry I wasn't able to send everyone a reply as I am still very busy preparing for my craft market. Special mention goes to Finn who wrote: I am a total dork. No, you did not win but I laughed until I choked on my own saliva. Anyways, I have used Random Number Generator to draw a winner and the winner is........

Congrats Alicia. I hope you will enjoy the fabric.

I'm pretty awesome. I make bags. I also make bag patterns. I have 7 bag patterns to my name now. (Go check them out here) I make like 20 bags a week or something. Before a craft market, I sew all the time. I sew and bitch. Then I bitch and sew. Then I sew some more. I sell these bags for cash. Then I blow the money on snacks like potato chips and chocolates and more fabric. I'm quite a story telle....

Here comes the zippies

It's been a long week for me. Once I hit 1,000 project, I felt like stopping work totally. Sewing bags is a lonely journey. Very much like running. First you start out strong. At the half-way mark, you start to feel the strain but you keep pushing because you know you can do it. 3/4 through, you ask yourself why you punish yourself joining the run. The torture is so great you want to quit. The last leg of the race, you find a sudden surge in energy and you push yourself to finish the race.

I'm now at the 3/4 mark.

This was a bitter sweet week for me. Bitter because I found sewing so difficult. I was like a child refusing to do my homework. I kept seeing darkness everywhere I turned. Yet I had to keep going deeper into the tunnel because that's the only way out. Sweet because I've sold a few of my Christmas stock so that took some pressure off me. I've managed to sell enough to pay for rent at my 9-days VivoCity craft market. Which in turn turned bitter for me because all the money I've made so far won't go to me. Not one cent. You see what I mean? But that's how the biz is. Hopefully I won't be disappointed with my sale at VivoCity.

So, I'm not going to spend this whole post complaining to you. After all I'm a big girl and I went into this biz with my eyes open.

DARKNESS

OUT OF THE DARKNESS

I made some zippy wristlets. I really dreaded making these because I've made so many in the past and it's like eating too much cake.

C-A-K-E.

Yay. Glad I did it. Now it's over. Don't my wristlets look relieved?

I made 6 mamas wristlets. If these sell really well, I'm never making the regular size again. Hahahaha.

Here are the glorious 16. Go to www.projectsbyjane.com if you want to take a closer look. I mostly used old favourite fabric. Oh, most of my old favourite fabric are running out. You know what that means? I get to buy new favourite fabric next year!

This is all I made this whole week. Quite disappointed. I think I have 1 more week of sewing before I'll stop and take care of the nitty gritties.

Oh, remember my 1,000th project - the quilted bag above? I've sold it. (thank you J) I know a few of you think I should keep it (my girl included). But you know what? Before I made the bag, I did ask myself if I would sell it and I thought about it and decided I would. It's not that I'm not sentimental about reaching the 1,000th project milestone. I am. But I thought wouldn't it be great if I manage to sell it? And I had a buyer! I was so freaking thrilled. So don't cry for me. I will go on to make many more bags. The 1,000th bag was not the end of a journey for me. It's the beginning of a new journey which I have yet to start on.

Oh, please come back on Monday. I have a surprise for you.
