It was a hectic week. After we got back from our Easter break in Singapore, it was more unpacking in a frenzy & more spring cleaning to get the house ready for some guests. Here's a glimpse of our new home, here in Dubai. Behind these 3 metre high curtains, is the garden with a pool, something which we never had before & which is really, really useful now with the present temperatures of 40s C / 100s F .
A couple of last minute cushions made with my favourite fabrics.
Whipped up a special dress for our special girl.
Thank you all, who sent her bloggy birthday wishes in the last post - you made her very happy!
Had a little pool party to celebrate Annika turning 11.
The pool was a real scary, yukky, mess the first time we saw it.
That's why this pic is smaller so you won't get too put off.
And the house used to be very empty & clean. This was my spacious (to me!) & empty studio.
It was meant to be a family room with wooden sliding doors leading into it, from the kitchen (which I absolutely love!). I have placed my laptop to the left corner of this room so that when I type, I can still see the pool if my kids are in there.
The studio is fast filling up with stuff. Here is some (yes, some!) of my fabric.
Organised by colours & also by themes.
I try to be neat but I think these multiply at night !!!
In front of me is a curtain suspension rod, with various projects all patiently waiting to be finished...
Among this mess, I sewed this wristlet pouch for a good friend. Hope you like it, Linda !

Makcik, ini bukan studio rumah, ini macam kedai kain kat rumah saya. Only difference is, di sini lagi cantik 1000%!!! Even my kedai kain pon not so cantik.Memang I jeles tengok all those kain and a very impressive studio...now, you tak payah see my micro studio :PP
Annika dah besar. Dont they grow up so fast :)) You boleh buka kedai kain with all those fabulous kain of yours! Me --- swooning and drooling!!
Wow, you are getting there with unpacking! Wished I could come by and visit your lovely little (fabric) paradise! Beijos from Brazil!
I can't believe that is only SOME of your materials!
Your home is so beautiful, love your studio. Totally gorgeous fabrics. It looks like your fabric has had babies.
Love the pillows and Annika's dress is adorable. She is so sweet looking in it.
Beautiful home!
Fabulous dress!
Awesome studio!
(Wished I lived closer!)
Beautiful pictures of your home and pool. Your studio, well, it looks better than the fabric shops I go to! Will you come and make my stash look so well organized?
Xue, I have to say your home is beautiful. Love you studio room with all it's beautiful fabrics and all the avaible natural light that comes in.. Wow, you have so much fabric to choose from. all very beautiful. Annika's dress is so wonderful I love all the colors. Thank you for the link to my blog. So very nice of you. I can't wait to receive my pouch. It is exactly what I was hoping for.
It is cool here..rain too. Today was 58.
Thanks for sharing these photos of your lovely home and Annika's pool party! Looks like they were having a fun time. I'd love to come and see your stash in person, it looks scrummy and I can't believe I actually saw bolts of fabric! You have a lovely roomy studio with lots of natural light.
Wow I love the cushions. Very beautiful home with so many personal touch. That's a whole lot of beautiful fabrics you have there. Home Sweet Home to you.
Love the view of your home. Wow, you have a serious collection of fabric. I wonder what plans it has....
What a lovely spacious home you have Xue. I have creativw jealousy of your wonderful studio - having just moved to a new country with only one suitcase it was very hard to leave all my own craft bits and pieces behind so I am looking longingly at all your gorgeous fabrics! And so beautifully arranged! Oh, and if Linda doesn't like her wee bag, I'll happily change my name (teehee). Ciao.

Looks like you are settling in just fine! Thanks for the glimpse into your new place. Glad to see the kids are adjusting so quickly and making new friends. Happy belated birthday, Annika!

Wow, can I come shopping with you! Your sewing room really looks like a shop. Your new home looks great! Isn't it fun to have a pool, especially with children?
Your studio looks lovely! And if your fabric multiplies, is that a bad thing? ;)
Popped over to say Hi from cottoncandy :).... you really meant it when you said hundreds of metres of fabric :) So envious of the space. You even have your own studio... I see you have been away from SG for pretty long... the apartments here are getting smaller and smaller and smaller :)
