Invasion of the Russian Dolls

Aiya!  We feel so bad about flaunting other people's commissioned pieces in your face and leaving you craving with nothing on offer.  So, just as a little teaser, we have decided to at least make some things for sale.

Remember these?
At $5 a piece, we have sold out all the bag tags.  In order not to disappoint those who have missed out on the opportunity to own these cuties, we have embarked on this:-
We are mass producing some more bag tags.  Look out for more colours and combinations.  No two are the same and that had made it fun for us.

Besides the bag tags, we also made bags from Russian Doll fabric.
These also proved to be very popular, so we bravely decided to order more fabric.  All 5 metres more.  Hmmm...I hope we can make quite a few bags from this. 
We've also bought other types of Russian Doll fabric - really interesting designs and hope to feature them in time to come.  But the above bag?  This will always be a HSH classic - for its simplicity of design and striking dolls.  It is simply "People see, people like", if you don't mind me saying so (ahem).


Being bitten by the Russian Doll bug, I seem to be acquiring all Russian-Doll-like things, like this.
Do you know what is this?
It's a container with a pin cushion inside.  Don't you think it's cool?  Do you think the Felt Team can be persuaded to make something like this? 

Hello? Hello?

Hello?  Is anyone still out there? Or have you all given up on us?  For that one of you still bothering to read this blog.  Thanks for sticking around and we promise not to disappoint you by going missing again.

So, what's been happening?  What with the Chinese New Year celebrations and overseas vacations (what?  we are humans too, you know.  we also need a break), the folks at HSH have been slowing easing back to work-mode by custom making bags for our loyal customers.  We didn't really want to show you, in case you get bag-envy and we can't make the same bag for you 'cos the fabric was provided by our customers.  But if you promise to be good and not to covet, here's a peek at some of the things we have made.

Don't the baby blue and roses remind you of something?  
You're right - it's the theme of my house decor!
This quilted patchwork bag is all "poofy" and soft.
Almost huggable, if you can call a bag that.
This bag was painstakingly put together by the Felt Team.
One button, by one button.
Eh... what are these?
Very different from our usual sweet/pretty things, right?
Let's have a closer look.
It's Mario.  We hope to make two little Mario-crazy boys very happy.
Well, that's all folks.  Once we get our orders out of the way, we hope to go back to creating new things for your viewing and buying pleasure.
