I like to upcycle toilet paper holders/toilet rolls because they are versatile, easily accessible and with some creative juices added, they present one of the best examples of upcycling. If you follow my blog then you know I moved to a different city to start a new job early this year. When I was getting…
It is all done, my last batch of Christmas tree ornaments! Project 1 – champagne flowers materials: cheap embellishments, curtain rings, bias tape, faux pearl (for design (2) only), gold string and glue using glue gun I am a bargain hunter and when I saw the packets of embellishments on sale at only RM1.00 per…
Christmas never used to hold any special meaning to me except it being a day we had no school or work (in Malaysia we only have Christmas day off as a public holiday!), a very commercialised period of time towards the end of the year during which we spent a fortune, or whatever we could…

An Accessory A Week – Week 10 I’m making sure this week I post my accessory on time and here it is. I chose a very neutral beige to make a short and a bit of a statement necklace. Materials – plastic bottle cut-outs, satin bias tape, cultured pearls and beads.
An Accessory A Week – Week 9 One more hair stick before I move on to other accessories…. I like green, and it’s very easy to go with a lot of my outfits. Still sticking to the same old materials – plastic bottle cut-outs, satin bias tape, cultured pearls and chopstick…
