Crafty long weekend!

I know i told myself to stay off crafting for the next two months and focus on the wedding and house things. But but... i just cant resist. I tried... the first night, i laze on my bed watching dvds thru the night... the second night, i did the same again ... soon, i felt so bored. I enjoy watching dvds especially those cantonese ones but i cant just sit and watch and do nothing else.

And so , i sucumb to crafting again. :D This time, i am back with a vengence - being more productive than ever. Plus, tyre's limping from strained leg so we were housebound. All the better to craft away day and night.

The first attempt was the failed boxy metal clasp pouch which i blogged about in earlier. And after that failed attempt, i decided to not waste efforts and go back to my favourite pattern.

This time, i crafted a range on fairytales for the card sized metal clasp purses. When i watched Kate & William got married on TV, i just tot " wow, this is like a fairytale come true. typically young girls grow up thinking they will marry a prince. And Kate did ! A Real Prince!"

So here's it, all 5 of them in fairytale prints. Can you identify them? Tyre cant :( .. and his excuse? " he had no childhood" :P so rubbishy.

Then I also crafted metal clasp pouches slightly bigger than the card size purses. (It looks exactly the same other than the size.) I only made 5 of them cuz i realised i may not have enough of these frames to do much more. Anyway, i love the top right hand one the most - added a ribbon lace.

This size can fit those handy compact cameras, and even my 3gs iphone (a bit snug tho).

And just to share additional picture - i use the same sized pouch myself - been using this same one for like 2-3yrs? Its still in good condition :D i prob have like close to 20 cards inside, some receipts, some namecards and cash. Very handy!

This time, its really my last post on crafts for this month for i will be away again :D No way i can craft even if i want.. maybe i might just bring my hexagon patchies to do when i get bored on the journeys.
