me and bags : my kind of bags

Apart from being a sucker for tote bags,
these are the other kind of bags that just
make my heart skip a beat everytime I
see them. I believe you can see why I just
feel like I have to have them all:)

I will take more pictures of my collections.
These are just some of them and others that
I sell at my craft shop. What do you think?

me and crafts : making, buying, selling

Apart from making collages and sewing patches, I have been also

into designing and making other stuff with some awesome friends.

I don't do machine sewing but I love to upcycle fabrics and stuff.

These are some stuff that I designed and sell them here

http://www.bikinbarang.blogspot.com/

I make tote bags from old tshirts, oil cloth, vintage dresses and

rice sacks. I'm also love screen printing and put them in vintage

hankies. My other stuff that I sell there include vintage findings

like glasses, lamps, pillow cases and throws, enamel trays and I

believe that there are more to come. So now you know where all

those flea market shoppings go apart from my own home:)

me and color: things around me

the first one is my favorite pillow case at the moment. Recycled of

two vintage dresses that I found last weekend. The second is

my favorite pendant at the moment that I found at my regular

flea market visit last month and the last one is my laptop bag

this week. I bought her at a garage sale for a dollar!

So, what's your plan this weekend? I'm going to go out of town

with that sweet punk boy of mine for my birthday. Yay!

Me and my bag: being tagged!

Yesterday, I was tagged by Nina http://ninainvorm.punt.nl/
on the content of my bag. Being a more-than-one-bag lady
all the time, I decide to just show you what inside
my PRIMARY bag. Yes, because I usually have a secondary
bag too. I should thanks Nina for this tag, because I have never
realized how much I love to keep my stuff in small compartments
like tin can and crochet or knit pouches before until I do this.

Allright, now the first batch here are as follows:

* My screen printed fabric pencil case. I put every single collage
and writing tools in it and don't ask how heavy it is because
I keep buying more and more tool every time I see something
that I believe might useful.

* Under the pencil case, there is a small tin can with Sid Vicious
picture is for my toothpicks. Yes, it supposed to be a cigarrette box
but since I don't smoke, I just use it for other purpose.

* That red knit bag is my camera pouch. Can you believe that
I bought that pouch first way before I bought the camera?
I found it at this huge vintage market in Medan, North Sumatra.

* Next to my camera pouch is my wallet. Black leather and
simple wallet with a tiny gorgeous detail of a very expensive brand.
I bought it really, really cheap from a friend on her garage sale. Yay!

* That round crocheted pouch is keeping some keys to my shop
and my parents house. Yes, I have tons of keys everywhere I go.

* Those two Lurik (Strips Javanese fabrics) pouches held
my name card and my flash disks. Those two are gifts from a friend.

Okey, now for the second batch:

* That red and white checkers cotton organizer keeps my favorite postcards, bank books and credit cards. I found it in one regular big flea market for
a dollar.

* Below the cotton organizer is my sewing kit and measurement tape where
I put them on this traditional Portugese wallet that I found in a second hand
market for 2,5 dollars.

* Next is my red moleskine as my daily organizer.

* Below it is my handphone pouches, made of batik.

* Allright, there are three stuff on one group there.
1. An envelope of zines that I trade with Cherry Bombe.
2. My house keys.
3. My comb.

* And the last patchwork pouch keep my digital camera
cable.

Ffuih! You have no idea how long I create this post
and this could be my longest post so far on this blog.
