“Creativity is making marvelous out of the discarded.” — Anonymous When someone commented positively recently about my posts on upcycling, only then I looked back and realised I did not share any of the crafts I worked on throughout the year last year in my blog. In fact, I did not even blog that much over…
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…
“Green” Finger 2015 – Project 3 This was a bit of rushed project as the news of my cousin leaving for Canada came rather late. Good thing was I always have the “raw materials” ready at home and the only 2 challenges for me then were to find the time and inspiration to work on…

In the conceptualisation stage one’s brain goes overdrive and brain power is spent, and that was how I came up with the title of…
Well, I have come to the last batch of my Christmas craft — gift tags made from the ever humble toilet paper rolls! And now I’m moving on to getting all of my Christmas shopping done so that I can use these gift tags!
I started this very little project weeks ago and never got to finish it until last night. I kept it very “exclusive” and made only 5 of the little flowers to add to my existing Christmas decorations at home. You can hang them on its own as Christmas tree ornament or gather them in 2…
