Welcome to My Cosy Loft!! My Cosy Loft is a little craft corner which I showcase my collections of handicraft I enjoy doing. Being a SAHM, and previously a music and art teacher to young children, provides me with the inspiration and the flexibility of time to work on my designs and ideas. Be it hobby or work, I love every moment of it! I have three different brands to showcase the various types of work I create. The are namely Eternal Covenant, that features exquisite ring pillows, Precious Findings that showcases my clay accessories for ladies as well as Pixie Suzie, an accessory closet for little girls. They are mostly sold through my Etsy online stores and through referrals. At My Cosy Loft blog, I will also be talking about new finds I discover from time to time that include materials, techniques, marketing avenues for craft work etc.

Inspirations

Beautiful things inspire me. But to me, beauty is all about creativity. Being able to put together different elements and make them look unique and amazing is a form of creativity. That is why I love accessories. When it comes to my own wardrobe, I must say they are pretty plain. I prefer to play up my clothes with accessories. I find versatility in accessorizing and that constantly makes me think of unique combinations with different objects and elements for my craftwork too. I really don't like to think of anything colour or object as boring or ugly. In fact I would prefer to find a way to make it work. That is the challenge I find in my craftwork.

I must say that working with brides-to-be from United States, Europe and other parts of the world over the last 2 years has been inspirational and wonderful. The fact that they love colours gave me alot more freedom to be creative. Never have I thought that a bride would want to match a royal purple with cream and black for her wedding pillow but one bride requested for that because those were her wedding colours. It turned out really well and she loved it! With the right design to it, everything turned out perfect! A recent bride had Fushia pink and charcoal grey as her wedding colours and it really challenged me to come up with a ring pillow that made her day! She was thrilled when I sent her the completed pillow.

Being able to satisify my customers from a 1000 miles away merely through a few emails is just awesome. How can I not love my job? ;)
