First yarn & knitting, now studs and embellishments :)
I am pleased with my new DIY spirit.

So I finally got hold of the studs & rhinestones I ordered from ebay, and picked out a few boring and forgotten cardigans/tanks/tops.. and voila! Awesome is my middle name.
This was the first project attempted. And I have to admit I was Stupid because I didn’t realize the studs could be ironed-on, which resulted in my wrestling with the glue gun for quite a while (and a burn on my fingertip OUCH).
:( I wish I had realized earlier! Then the studs wouldve been much neater and cleaner.
These other 2 were random spur-of-the-moments.
So.. I’ve kinda used up all my studs already. EBAY HERE I COME.

Learning new skills + creating new things from old things = little joys!

I had alot of thoughts and small reflections during church today, but I know if I begin now its going to end up in a 1920123 word essay.. which probably isn’t the wisest thing to do right now when I should be heading for bed soon.
:)
Another week ahead! The final moments before the exams. I am bracing myself, and praying.

I don’t want things that are cool or in fashion or whatever,
I just want things that make me happy.
An example to illustrate my point:

This ridonkulously beautiful lampshade made of roses makes me very, very happy. I would be happier if it belonged to me, and I had a pretty room for it to sit in and look beautiful in. Sadly, I do not :(
That makes me sad.
Lesson: In addition to just seeing things, one needs to own them to reach the highest level of happiness. But in the meantime, one can appreciate such things from afar, and wish happiness to the individual in the world who actually owns it.
At least someone gets to be happy :)
Back to fantasizing about my dream room..

Conclusion: the secret ingredient to a romantic concept is A CHANDELIER.

New layout, new banner, etc YAY! :)
For no particular reason I decided to redo the blog on the first day of September. (Oh and speaking of RBs, Yong went ahead and actually got himself a pair in LA – have I mentioned life is unfair?)
Yeah yeah I know what you’re thinking – don’t you have SCHOOL? HOW COME YOU’RE SO FREE? And questions of similar nature. I would now assure you that I am definitely still in Uni and have not been ousted out due to my online habits, and I haven’t even missed a single class! (cue applause)
There’s just some cathartic feeling of hitting the refresh button and seeing something new turn up on the page. Okay that so did not sound weird.
In other news, today I realised I’m still growing up.

Yeah, if only I could sustain being that neat and organized. On thursday afternoon I attempted to re-organize my entire closet but only made it past my undergarments & scarves. Epic fail.
Anyway, I am in love with the pretty assorted mix of drawer doorknobs! Absolutely LOVES.

I am totally digging that vintage pink telly. I’d lounge by the phone all day just to pick it up. Anyway, told you I’ve been on the hunt for interior inspirations. These pictures totally make my day! Interior design = the best way for self expression. True story.

The afternoon visit to IKEA in the bid to find a new bed frame for my pathetic excuse of a recycled bed off my brother & the prospect of being able to do over my room when Gid enters NS has spurred a new obsession with interior design. The challenge is throwing away years of nostalgic artifacts that have cluttered my room for two centuries. Can I do it? Many more photo inspirations to follow. Tickle my fancy. Hoot!

Or at least on wordpress it is. Whoopee!
