Of pom poms

Did these pom poms few weeks back. You know these are failed crafts when you had friends asking you  "why are you hanging these shower balls on your wall?"

I should have just hang the above on my wall. 

My nephew's full month

Yup, my sister gave birth to a boy last month. They name him Jay. He is so cute but I might be biased. He looked exactly like my sister when she was a baby, maybe cuter. Chinese usually would host a full month celebration for the baby and so my sister did.

I was in charge of the decor. We decided to limit the colours to white, grey and green. The instruction my sister gave was simple. I love simple. I did the banner below.

This simple looking banner look me a long time to complete. Guess what, people can't even see the words on the flag. I need to work on that I think. 

I also decorate the place where they place the red eggs. 

I love how the paper rosettes look. Can't wait to use it to decorate my wall. 

The paper pom poms were supposed to be hang throughout the venue but those that ready-made ones I bought turn out to be quite ugly. I preferred those I handmade using tissue. I can't seem to find green and grey color tissue anywhere.

I really like doing all these crafts but I seems to be not cut out for it. I am still trying to convince myself it is due to the lack of practise. 

DIY lamp

Bought this fairy lights from cotton on. They come in different colours. I bought the blue one. This is battery operated. 

With any bottle, you can create a nice looking lamp. I chose this milk bottle that i gotten from cotton on as well. You can reuse any glass bottle from your drink. 

I am going to try not stepping into any cotton on/typo shop. The damaged to my wallet is too much! Haa. 

Welcome home

Been a while since my last banner. Here is a new (not-so-new-2-months-old) banner I did to welcome my family when they were over last month. 

This time round, I tried fishtail flag and cloth pegs. I love this color combination. It is so simple and chic. The red heart brighten the whole flag. I am already brainstorming/stalking for more ideas.  

Christmas is around the corner

Guess what! I decided to decor the house up a little. Bought a stencil to improve on the letters. Still need some improvement but good enough for me. I found doing this very therapeutic, it takes my mind off any problems that are bothering me. 

Tadaaaa! 

I like how it turn out. If only I know how to cut out nice Christmas tree, next time hopefully.

Making it more colourful

One of the things I like to do when I am bored. Sticking Masking tapes. I love Masking tapes with design.

Making use of Starbuck bottle if you ran out of vase. 

A little something to spice my life up. 

The Masking tape can be easily taken out. If you are throwing a party with a theme, you can always change the design of the tapes to suit your theme.

Feeling crafty

Feeling rather bored with tv series recently, so I looked up the internet and voila, my first craft. I know everything about this flag banner is wrong but well, this is my first, so this will be staying there for quite a well and I am feeling accomplished.

Hopefully, I can show off my second one, ever.


p.s. pls ignore the messy bookshelf
