Hori button tote bag

Sewalong is really fun.... I participate sewing the Tote Bag with a sewing group on FB.  Looking at what fabric they're using to create this Tote Bag is really a feast for my eyes... and I just can say that they are creative.... Using different kind of fabrics.. is an eye opener for me...

So.. I made this tote bag... following the direction of one member that lead us...

I start it with black cotton drill fabrics and Red bali batiks...










That is the bag... Wooo hooo... Love it.

As usual, after making one project... there is a desire to make more...

Happy Sewing...

Bali adventure

This year...I had a chance to visit Bali again.... oooowh I'm so excited because Bali is my favorite place to visit. They called Bali with a Paradise island... and I couldn't agree more.

Bali is the famous island for tourist around the world. It located in the middle part of Indonesia.
Lots of things to see and experience.... 

This is how my eyes see a bit of this island... the culture... the art...  Oooh they are so beautiful to my eyes.

This is a small offerings of flowers and " dupa " they put them on the street.. 
  

And this is a handpainted boxes... consist of a colorful little dots... create a beautiful pattern... 


Wooden art...  and frangipani flower hair clip.


A typical Balinese house has a stone carved fence.. . Simply Gorgeous. 


Very detailed work on carved stone...  Beautifully made !










And this is a wooden doll ( this is a typical javanese puppet /doll ) I found them greeting me on a restaurant. They are holding a menu they offered.


Awesome antique tiles on a restaurant...
I don't think we produce this kind of tiles anymore... they must be saved from an old house....
I love it...
Make a great pattern for Quilt right.. ?  a ha... an inspiration !
