[Nov 1, 2.50am] Auction closed! Congratulations, Leo! I’ll be in touch about your new passport holder at a more civilised hour.]
Holiday time anyone? In this second Project Snip-Snip Auction, we’re making it a little easier to stay organised when you go away.
My buddy Peggy Wong is an architect by day and a lot of other things when she isn’t being an architect. She has been crafting for a while now and is one of the people who inspired me to get into clothing recon and upcycling stuff. Her blog cloth.with.pegs is full of her crafty results, including a few costumes we made last year!
This is what she is sponsoring:
This passport holder will hold your Malaysian passport, your necessary cards and tickets when you jet off on a holiday. Handy! You can see more photos here.
Peggy will be making one for the winner of this auction.
Comments have been set to unmoderated so those of you who have not commented before can bid without your comment being held back.
This auction will close on Nov 1, at 11pm. Last bid by the timestamp on the comment, wins.
Details
- Starting price is RM15.
- Bids should be at a minimum increment of RM2. This means you can bid any amount above RM2. If you forget in your excitement, it automatically gets bumped up.
- Post your bids only. All other comments will be deleted. If you need to ask questions, please email me at tarlia[AT]gmail.com or comment here.
- Will ship to anywhere in Malaysia. If the winning bidder is in Kuching, we can arrange a pick-up or delivery.
- I can only accept bank transfer or cash on delivery.
Bid, bid away!

Project Snip-Snip: Purse Organiser

[Oct 28, 11:06pm] SOLD TO ANNNA for RM42! Thanks for playing, everyone. And look out for the next auction tomorrow night. :D
Welcome to the Project Snip-Snip Auction!
The first item up for auction is none other than the purse organiser I’ve been trying out and posting about a few weeks back.
Yes, it looks a bit funny now because I haven’t sewn the pockets down. But you should know how the finished product looks like by now. If not, click on the link up there.
The reason I haven’t sewn in the pockets is because I’ll customise it for the winner. Everyone has different types of essentials that they must carry with them, right? I want to make sure that your handphone or name card holder fits perfectly.
The organiser is 20″ x 4″. This is long enough to fit about 7 pockets of various sizes.
The outer material is a velvety plush fabric reclaimed from a pair of track pants I bought at FOS and didn’t like because it was way too hot to wear for exercise. The lining is a cotton print that I bought on a whim because I found the pink attractive.
This has to be the prettiest one I’ve made so far.

Project Snip-Snip: How to donate
by tarlia on October 26, 2009
in project snip-snip
I’ve gotten quite a bit of donations and pledges since my last post, and that was before I even managed to talk about how and where! So this post is to address the issue of how you can gimme your money.
It’s actually very simple.
If you’re from outside Malaysia, I do not have any way of taking international donations. Plus, I don’t really approve of wasting time with additional steps of getting your money from there to here when they are likely animal shelters in your area who could use a hand. What I’d recommend is that you find an SPCA or animal welfare cause near you and make a donation to them. Better yet, drop by to see how you can help. Or give an animal a home if you’ve been thinking doing something like that.
If you’re Malaysian, you can email me at tarlia[AT]gmail.com or comment in this post for my bank account number. Those living in Kuching can optionally just arrange to meet and pass it to me.
You can also wait to see if there’s anything you’d like to bid for in my Birthday Auction. Here’s how it works:
1. I’ll post an item with a starting price on my blog.
2. You can bid for it for the next 24 to 48 hours by posting your bid in the comment.
3. Last bid in by the closing of the auction (according to timestamp), wins.
4. You bank in the money to me and I’ll mail you the item. (If you’re in Kuching, we can meet to exchange goods.)
5. The new item will only be posted once the previous auction closes.
You must be wondering what items I’m talking about.
My other current interest is crafting. I have friends who make things too and a few of them have agreed to sponsor an item for my Birthday Auction. There is a card holder made of felt, a passport holder and a necklace. I’m contributing a purse organiser since many of you have been asking about it.
All have been specially made (or will be) for the occasion, and money from the winning bid goes straight into the Snip-Snip fund.
This is the week of the auction. Look out for the first item, coming very soon.
