Simple Pleasures

The crazy rain that blanketed our little island has begun to taper a little. 

Did you make good use of the fine weather over the weekend?

We got out of the house and had a simple but fun Saturday. 

The first highlight was rewarding ourselves with a lovely high tea

atop one of the highest buildings in Singapore. 

After that, we played tourists and went on a trishaw ride!

Public Garden at the National Museum was our next stop.

It was nice catching up with friends who were putting up stalls.

These are a few of the things I spent my money on. 

This morning's doodle for you:

Envelope collages

I've been itching to do something crafty besides sewing and I'm glad I finally found a pocket of time to do so. Something that can be done in a short time, is easy and yet fun was what I was looking for. So I decided to do envelope collages! If you have a hour or less on a weekend afternoon but don't want to spend it in front of telly, try this! 

Here are some tools and materials I used which you may consider. For the paper scraps, anything you can get around the house will do. Varying textures will be great. Also snip/tear cute images you like. 

Voila! Finished product no. 1.

Finished envelope 2. 

An aside: See the bus ticket? We don't see them much around here anymore since we just tap our card when we board the bus. But smart aleck me forgot to travel with my card yesterday and had to dig my wallet for shillings. So, I heard the old familiar drop of coins and my ticket appeared! Decided to put it to use here :p 

Happy crafting!

Minourakentaro

SO blown away by the works of Japanese artist, Minourakentaro.

Light, airy, whimsical, colourful.

Embroidered ang bao

Look what I did with an ang bao! Not the best work and I should have used a thinner needle. But oh well, it was spontaneous fun :)

Happy Valentine's day, folks!

Winning Plush

Tadah! Here's the plushie I made based on the winning design from the "Sew Searching" design a plush activity! Neilson, it'll be on its way to you! Hope you like it. 

Fun with My Food

Hi, how's everyone? Did you have a good weekend? I ran some work-related errands on Saturday and am absolutely grateful for T's help. Sundays only seem to whiz by for me. Does it for you? I'm looking forward to the approaching Lunar New Year (coming Sunday). Hopefully to get some rest then, and ok, I do look forward to the snacking as well... 

So I had a little fun with some of the food I had over the weekend. Have a look.

 

 

What do you think? *sniggers*. Perhaps I'll do it again in future. Hehe. 

Happy Monday, folks!
