My canvases', Swap and Typewriter

Hello! Everyone, it has been ages I did not update my blog and here I am trying to squeeze some time to get this blog updated.

A couple of months ago, my swap buddies decided to exchange a canvas project and I have done 4 canvases' for the swap.  I am totally in awe, love the work of Christy Tomlinson and totally inspiring, thanks to her.

The 1st canvas gone to Roza and I hope it is happily sitting in her studio.
 
 
  

 


This is the canvas, I received from Roza...
Thank you Roza...love this awesome piece of canvas!


The 2nd canvas was done for a swap as well, but unfortunately my swap partner not really keen to swap, hence this canvas will be put up hanging on my wall.



  


 



The 3rd canvas, is currently residing in Singapore with Emeline , and this is my canvas to her.





This is the canvas that I received from Emeline...
Love yours Emeline , very soothing colours used.


 The 4th canvas, experienced the same scenario as number 2, and totally inspired by Christy Tomlinson, this canvas will be put up hanging on my wall.  Very colourful indeed!


  


The rest of my swap buddies has created nothing but "va va voom" canvases'.  I haven't got the chance to take pictures of all the canvases'.

Besides these, that I have created a few projects which I am yet to share but some have been shared in my IG.

A little announcement, for those who are looking for a vintage old typewriter, you can email me at yuzzyusof@gmail.com and I also do "services" for old typewriters. Rest assured all typewriters are professionally serviced and good to be used.  You can check with my friends, Amelia@Baby Blue and Liza@Misscraftee as I have done for them.

Thank you for dropping by and reading my post and have a great day ahead and happy crafting.

My Typewriter Sparkle

I am jumping with joy as today I managed to pick up my Olivetti Lettera 32 from my friend. The make-over is done and she is all pretty and nicely sitting on my desk.




Here is the layout I did a few weeks ago and I sewed most of the papers and pasted them on the background paper. Love the end result, some misting, paint splattered, button and some other embs.







That is all for now, I am now busy creating canvas and it is very addicted...anybody up for a canvas swap???
Thanks for dropping by and happy crafting.

Hi! Everyone, I have been very lazy on updating my blog and lazy on creating a layout. All I care is my Project Life...I am so efficient and tip-top with my PL and until to date my PL is well created and I am happy.

On the other hand I have been busy hunting for a vintage typewriters and I managed to get a few in my collections and thanks to my other half for being so nice and understand that I am crazy over vintage stuffs.

My first typewriter was Olivetti Lettera 32 which I bought from the local antique store at a very cheap price and currently my Olivetti is undergoing some make over/service I should say. It will be ready soon and hopefully it will looks nice and beautiful once done.

Here are the before pic and "in the making" pic.

Enough of my typewriters, here is a layout which I did many many weeks ago but I was just lazy to post it up in this blog.  A very simple page with loads of blooms and some machine stitching at the edges and tags.



 
I have more to share and will blog about my other LOs in the next post. Thanks for dropping by and happy crafting!
