Sesame Street + Sesame Street = Angry Birds

This has been going about on Facebook the past few days,  for those who haven’t caught wind of it… xx

 

Whats your best remedy for cramps?

Take 1-2 evening primrose oil capsules everyday, I’ve been on them for a couple of months now and hardly get period cramps.

ask me anything, but please, keep it real.

a change.

straying from bacon & eggs… mixed berry yoghurt + strawberries + prunes + honey smacks cereal; a healthy change at that.

 

laugh out loud.

Caught Johnny English Reborn with the favourites last night. If you haven’t watched it, please do. 100 minutes of non-stop laughs guaranteed. And! Don’t be in a hurry to leave at the end.

And like that wasn’t enough, we went to Coffee Club across the road for some post-movie slurps and cam-whoring with my new pair of bunny ears.

One minute we were complaining about how warm it was, the next minute the wind came out of nowhere and blew serviettes off tables and knocked empty cans off their bases. Agnes & I ended up laughing like idiots for a good 5 minutes especially after the wind blew a leaf into my drink. Fun times.

Kudos to the service staff at Coffee Club (Orchard Fountain). Not only did they get me a new drink in an instant, they also renewed my faith in Singapore’s service standards.

It was raining so heavily and we didn’t have umbrellas. Decided to try my luck and ask if they had an umbrella we could borrow, not only did they find an umbrella, the waiter went a step further and hailed cabs for us, telling the driver to wait and then running back to shelter us to the cab. That’s the way service should be! Sigh, makes me miss the F&B industry. Honestly I’d go back but if I could escape the crazy ass work hours.

Hush now..

A page out of my moleskine from some time ago. xx

The seasons have changed, and so have we.

And when spring arrived,
We were taken by surprise when the floes under our feet bled into the sea
And nothing was left for you and me.

Finding DCFC mildly depressing and thought-provoking all at once.

Ring around the rosie, a pocketful of posies

I really love how Constance totally rawked the mustard rose necklace ($22), as seen on The Closet Lover. 

These roses are hand sewn and strung on satin ribbon. Other colors available upon request, fabric versions also available in store.

While my macbook was “dead”,  I managed to complete a couple of new Perpetual Spring pieces! Here are some sneaks!

A neutral bouquet $39
A bouquet of hand sewn nude florals for the simple girl, topped with faux pearls. The neutral, down to earth tones makes this a complimentary piece to a wide range of outfits. This piece sold but remakes are available.

Madison dusty spring bouquet $49 (free local shipping by regular mail)
A trio of dusty hues in cream, pink & purple, backed with fresh greens. Each petal is handcut, folded, and sewn.

Coralista $29
A trio of hand sewn coral roses strung on a crocheted string. Each rose measures approximately 4.5cm

I’ll be uploading these and more to the store over the weekend, have a great F1 weekend here in Singapore! :)

One decision can change your life.

70 days out of drug rehab, this guy whose job was to haul trash, took the X-Factor stage and changed his own life for the better, as well as everyone elses. I won’t lie, I actually cried. Listen carefully to the lyrics he wrote in his original song, “Young homie”.


“There’s always a chance, and there’s always a choice. Life is too precious to waste…”

sold : plaid shirt $12 mailed

I have way too many plaid shirts in my wardrobe now so I’m selling this piece which I have only worn once, which is in brand new condition!

First World Problems.

Sunday, I came back from a shower to find that my laptop had shut itself down. For a moment I thought it just slept but no, it didn’t respond to any keys. Earlier in the day I had this weird feeling about, what if my mac were to die on me, so, naturally, I went into panic mode. I tried to turn it on and…. This happened. I really hate my gut.

This is the second time I’ve seen this dreaded screen. Sunday was nothing short of depressing. Dropped it off with Stanley on Monday and I am now feeling extremely lost without my laptop. Right now I’m using my dad’s laptop but it’s driving me nuts cos I now find Windows absolutely foreign. I keep trying to scroll with two fingers, like every 10 seconds.

Trying to edit photos is a nightmare cos daddy has no photoshop and I have absolutely no idea how to navigate through Windows anymore. My HD is with Stanley, cos I asked him to backup the rest of my files. It’d be of no use to me anyway cos I can only access the files on another mac. SIGH! I guess it boils down to either getting a new macbook pro or, spending god knows how much $ to get the logic board replaced, which apparently, isn’t worth replacing.

Please, be nice to me. I’m positively depressed.

PS : I still have access to my emails so business as usual! Since I can’t update items in store, new items will be made available for purchase on my Facebook page. Already added plushies, new bracelets and Perpetual Spring sneaks! xx

What Makes You Happy?

We all have different things in life that make us happy, and not all of us derive full satisfaction from our careers but I’m glad I do! :)

It’s little things like these that put a big smile on my face no matter how pressurizing it can get to deliver something that will meet expectations.

Reviews from my customers! And…

How they totally rock their accessories.

Oh did I mention I’ll be adding a new “section” soon? SAMPLE SALES!

For my try outs and first attempts that aren’t quite up to store standards due to a flaw or two, to be snagged at pretty ridiculous prices. More news on my facebook page soon-ish.

We’re having quite a bit of fun with Arthur, although I really have no clue where he’s been the whole week, I guess the fun is in the mystery.

 At first I thought he was in trouble, but he was later spotted enjoying himself at a thai bbq/steamboat.

 Spotted on Thursday evening, locations unknown. (Source : Kidnappers)

Arthur goes to work.

A little cat in the big city.

While the original Arthur is busy enjoying life away from me, I’ll be working on a series of Arthurs! Yes, I’m selling these, pretty excited actually cos I’ve always wanted to be sewing more.

I’m finally working on a new “section” of the store, things for the home. Novelty decorations, ornaments, plushies, anything and everything that belongs in a home or office for that matter. Things that will bring cheer and warm your heart.

Meet Bookworm Arthur!

Books included. Price to be advised.

Where is Arthur now?

I took Arthur the tiger cat out with me on saturday evening to see the world. He was abducted shortly after dinner.

Soon, photos of Arthur started popping up on Instagram…

First spotted checking out the saturday night crowd at Zouk,

And then getting kisses all around at Butter with Eugene & Mimi.

The question is, “Where is Arthur now?”

See more of Arthur soon! When I get more “hostage photos”, or when he actually comes back home. Never thought I’d have a rock star cat, he lives the way we live. For those of you who don’t know yet, Arthur is a stuffed cat toy I made the other day. After having him for a night, he was kidnapped by Mimi and is currently under her “nanny care”.
