Project Life Starts Now

I can sit all day in the office looking at beautiful images and creative ideas on Pinterest. It's so fun if you have the time to sit and slowly try out some creative ideas. Besides Pinterest, I also followed a few blogs on Scrapbooking and Project Life. Scrapbooking is not something new for me but I am so keen to try the new in thing now called Project Life by Becky Higgins. I could not wait to start my new journey with it. It looks so easy and neat. Been looking for it for days now and doing a little bit of a survey for her products. After searching high and low, I came across Papier website and voila, they actually carry the Project Life kit. I was so excited so I told my hubby about it. Knowing how he is with 'ceciwi-ness' of getting new stuff, he agreed to take me to Papier, The Curve. So, last night after stopping by Baby Land for Alex's milk, hubby accompanied me to Papier to look for Becky Higgins' products. I was so excited right until I saw the price. I was somewhat shocked and frustrated after looking at the price tag for each and every item. I swear, at one point, I felt like screaming and running out from the shop. Everything there was so pricey. Being the nice person, he offered to buy me the complete 4-piece beginner set for RM550. I actually told the salesgirl I will think about it and come back soon but hubby insisted to get it for me. Katanya, it's a present. Hehe So, I went crazy for a few minutes by myself deciding on the designs. Hubby didn't want to help me decide on anything at all. After purchasing, I automatically became a member with grab bag as a free gift for new member. Okay, brace yourself for this awesome present I got from Hubby. Tadaaaaa.. Can't wait to start documenting my daily happenings.

Crafty Time

These are a few things I've completed in the past months after I got my baby. I admit I'm am a procrastinator with endless ideas but couldn't find the time to actually sit and proceed. I hope I get to rearrange my schedule and slowly squeeze some me time. Wish me luck!

A month ago, I completed my key holder and now it's already on my wall. Yay!

Two days ago, I tried baking my first batch of mini pavlova. And I succeeded. It was super yummy.

I don't have the end product with cream and fruits. Too yummy I forgot to snap a photo. 

It's good but I think I need more practice if I ever want to open my artsy cake shop. :P

And the latest..

Yesterday I completed a Despicable Me Minion Felt Keychain for hubby. He loves it. =P

(Finally after a decade hahaha)

Oil Painting Class

3 -day weekend Oil Painting Class with my 2 Aunties.

Fun activity for fun people like us. 

It was actually my first art class apart from my primary school days.

Class #1:- 1 Dec 2012.

Introduction to sketching and base color.

We started off with sketching the shapes and then touch up on the lines.

Both my aunties took a simpler version of fruits. Sangat comel.

As usual, *tak fikir panjang, suka buat terror* I took the wrong one. 

I realized the flower is much more harder than it looks.

I regret choosing it in the first place but its too late to change.

Class #2:- 2 Dec 2012

Color on other details of the picture.

 I was so stressed out to see my coloring and at the end of my second class, I really feel like giving up.

I thought to myself, I should just stick to PIY. haha

 Class #3:- 16 Dec 2012

Touch up and detailing of the whole project.

 

After 3 classes, we are finally done with our 'masterpiece'.

Ahhh, feels good.We have so much more to learn and improve.

But for a first timer, it's not that bad kan?

We deserve a pat on the back! Yay.

Looking forward to more creative class in the future.

Every girl's dream

During my younger days, I used to dream of having a playroom or playground of my own. While browsing, I found a DIY website where they have tutorials and all sorts of cool stuff. And after looking around, I found this cute thing, a DIY playroom for your kids. It's so cute and fun but you need a big room to fit all this. How nice rite? Would you design your kid a playroom like this?

Craftiness In Me.

Before my wedding in April, I turned into a craft junkie; wanting to create and decorate everything I see into something beautiful and sweet to put at my wedding. All the ideas starts pouring like rain but the only thing I couldn't find is the time to actually sit and work on it. Everything went by so quickly. Luckily I managed to squeeze some time to create the necessary ones. Here it is:

Pretty Handmade Decorated Candles

Frame for Photobooth

Large French Board for Love Notes

(I am also taking orders for French Board)

Frames and simple deco for dessert table

And 2 days ago, I completed my first felt doll. Finally!

I still need to improve on my work. But I'm giving a pat on my back, not bad for a first timer rite?

No sewing machine or any hidden talent in sewing. 

Hubby's been asking me to make something for him already. hehe

He's my #1 fan! ;)

Stay tuned for my next project. :)
