Thought of the day: Call in sick…

Sighh… I am not so productive at work. All I want to do is dancing around underneath the sunshine with Mr D, it feels so much like a perfect Sunday… And yet again, I have so much work to do >_<

Can We Shall We Valentines lasercut by Rob Ryan, get it from here.

Thinking about Valentine's day

I would fly to the moon if I received this >_< Sighhhh… It would be a dream, a very good dream :) Anyway, I wouldn't expect it anytime soon^^ It's all about how things go between us, for now. Even though, it would be really nice if he does (well, there's nothing wrong to be a little optimistic).

Nonetheless, we just had a little quarrel over the weekend. rrr… not really a quarrel yet. But I was kinda upset with him. He was forgetting to call me back when he said he is going to. And then it turned out, I did, upset him back unintentionaly. So I guess we were even. We paid the price, we didn't end up meeting up this weekend. Sigh…

You could order this pretty handwritten cards from hellohandmadepaperie.etsy.com and have it personalised with your own love message.

I've already had something in mind for his Valentine's card^^ I am gonna make it with my own handwritting. Hopefully, it'll be good. What are you preparing for your special someone this year? Mind to share it?

25th Wedding Anniversary cakes and cards

I attend my friend's parents 25th wedding anniversary on the weekend. It was only small gathering in their house. They have such a harmonious family, they are blessed with 4 children. Now, all in their teens and young adult. We had Chinesse steamboat for the dinner :) was so fulfiling.


Close up photo of the cakes, two doves added on top of silver ribbons nest.

In the afternoon, I was helping my sister bf's mother with the wedding anniversary cakes decoration. She unexpetedly rang me in the last minutes needing my help to decorate the cakes. She made the lovely white cakes with the heart shape on top. But she was concerned that it was being to plain. It was my idea to place the doves and ribbons on top. I'm my self not very meticulous in tying, so I'm glad that my sister got certificate in floral arrangement. She got the job well done ;) don't you think? I only added the finishing touch, with two doves paper cut. All materials were bits and pieces that we could find at that time. All done only in few minutes.


I also designed customised anniversary greeting cards for them. I was working on it slowly, last week. Sadly, the card never made it into their hands since our printer suddenly broken (after I recently bought new inks, which cost me more than $100!!!!!! I am still absolutely upset 'bout this). So rather leaving the cards useless, I would like to share it with you. You can print the cards your own (precisely fit on A4 cards, you'll need to trim it following the trim mark, it's blank inside), download it from here. Sorry, still can't figure it out how to put a download link yet. You can send me message if you're interested, I can even add more personalisation. Please don't be hesitate to ask.

It was quite fun, giving me a chance to be crafty again^^

Amazing collage from Kup Kup Land

Bunny H6, originally uploaded by Kup, Kup Land.

It's absolutely beautiful. My hand is shaking when I noticed the original artwork is still available at etsy. I have overspend last month, my credit card bills have been piling up. My freelance clients haven't paid me yet, and I don't think it will cover it up all. I am sure this work will be gone in just a matter of second (sigh)

Kup Kup is such a creative person, she has been constantly creating an amazing works. It has been very inspiring to see her creations. This collage piece is rather a new exploration of hers, but you can still see her unique style by the used of colour and the felt. Felt has been her main medium, she made lots of pretty felt collage and really cute pin cushion land. See her other lovely works on her flickr and buy her prints from kupkup.etsy.com (you’ll see what I mean).

No, you can't buy it before me, I am warning you!!!

I wish I made this

I found this lovely papercut card at Folio on my Friday night stroll. It was placed just near the entrance over the counter. It just grabbed my attention right away.



This wasn't really an exact papercut, it is actually made by the laser press. However, the details are just so define, it is amazing what a machine could do. This cards printed from the UK, but somehow the URL that they supplied wasn't working. In case, anyone ever heard of it, its published by Archivist and design by Cathy Dow.

A lucky person would received this. It would be perfect for a Valentines cards, too bad its a bit too late for that. I might keep it for my self ^^ hehehe…
