crafty stuffs and CNY lanterns....

on busy saturday, i jus thought of browse around the holland village and for some thing makes me more thrills...

dragged my boy owen with me, leaving my little girl ash with maid at home, to holland village by bus 165 from AMK. owen complained abt the long drive there that made me smile wide - no more kiddie fights :p

reached holland shopping mall, my first heading to bead factory where i have been fancied long time ago i bought a few sets before. it made me drooled... bought a 3-stranded necklace, boxes of colorful beads and tear-drop crystals... damn cheapest than other shops. and make some more trips to various shops within that mall before took bus back to AMK central, bought some crafty for my friend.
ahhhhh, finally reached home and rested my worn-out legs and asked for a nice cup of MILO, made by my maid wati. i asked ash where the stuffs my friend bob dropped by earlier (in my absence) and rec'd the stuffs. OH MY GOD!!! bob folded wrongly. anyway, i un-do and re-folded correctly and made the final lantern.... within a hour.

and see the other lanterns i made other time...

Apologises from little one...

my little boy owen was wrong what he had done and often "bullied" his big sis ashley. i gave him a good leash. next day he expressed his regret by offering me a small bunch of wild flower. it touched my heart. isn't it cute?

Another frame for Pete!

finally i created another one for pete as a remembrance with Hi! Theatre peers that he performed with many years before his marriage and had visited some countries.

it took me 3 hours (included lunch time) to draft out and ironed out the prefect layout - 1 metre length and contained more fotos of him and his old friends. am soo glad to hear that pete loved it soo much than i expected. my effort is worth than nothing...

Fabulous Frame!!!

i have been wanted one for my home esp huge blank wall to fill in. i spent my time on how to get the prefect frame for my aussie fotos... and drafted out roughly on the "mahjong" paper and had it trimmed in actual size. marched down to framing shop to follow my instruction. it took less than a week to have it done. very excited to collect it up as its my first creation on frame. :p

reached home, can't wait to add the lovely fotos of myself and family. it looks prefect!!! great for home!!! yah yah yah!

crab crab crab...

yummy... yummy.... my colleague sook fan treated me and angie to crab dinner.... after work. it located at Mellben Seafood, blk 232 ang mo kio ave 3 (st 22).
