i love... we love stitches!

here is a recent favorite etsy purchase from we love stitches! i have been looking for an adorable collar necklace and finally found the most adorable one! i love the crochet detail and guess what, it is made of felt too! check out more adorable handmade felt accesories and plushies here!

 

 

...and there is the happy me! 



wonton apron

this apron is for my bff vena! she has been showering me with her homemade wontons and humbaos... not lately though! hahaha! 

drip drip

after missing 2 days of work due to flu (thank god, it s no pig flu or whooping cough) and body ache, besides sleeping  i manage to spare couple hours of my sick days crocheting coffee cozies for leo born ladies, erin and momz julie! i also been listening to philippine radio app from my ipod, sad to hear such bad news about the 3 day monsoon rain ( thus, drip drip) causing deadly  floods in luzon island.  :( :( :(

magnificent embroidered drawings

i am inspired and amazed with these beautiful works of izziyana suhaimi! her works are interesting and unique mix of embroidery, drawing and modern art! the drawings alone are great but the embroidery takes them to another level! it takes some serious creativity to come up with this!  here are my favorites (via http://my-bones.tumblr.com/)

special stuff from friends

here are some favorite stuff i have gotten from friends! late birthday presents, freebies, etc.!  thanks everyone! love them all!!!

cross-stitched earrings from jesse! 

vintage cup/creamer  from alon! and also she got me wool rovings for my needle felting from diva yarn in port townsend!

sock monkey needle felting kit from erin!

and very cute card from amber!

more... awesome finds at daiso

i know it has been a habit for me to go to daiso and buy stuff i dont really need! but how could you not, almost everything there is a dollar and fifty! so this time i made sure i buy stuff that would be very useful!

...like these adorable slippers! i love wearing slippers at home, i cant live without them! it is the first thing i would look for when i get home! im not used to wearing shoes inside a house!

disposable piping bags for my cake decorating needs at home! using ziploc bags as a piping bag can be a little bit annoying! ;)

and my favorite... kitty animal hand duster! just to make cleaning more fun! lol!

rrraccoon

i been starting to find raccoons cute lately eventhough they can still be very mean! the first time i saw  raccoons ( about 5 years ago) when i house sat alon's house, they came in the house to steal kitty food! got scared, they dont look very nice! i just saw an old miyazaki movie, pom poko, a tale about raccoons trying to save the forest for survival! 

i also went to see wes anderson's new movie, moonrise kingdom! check out the raccoon patches! so cute!

these inspire me to make a big one for myself! haha!

small town, big smiles!

... just want to share some pics from my bellingham weekend trip with jeremiah! unfortunately, we did not make it to orcas island as planned due to transportation and weather circumstances! but we were happy we stayed in bellingham and explore the small town! the locals are extremely nice and went above and beyond with their hospitality! we love the unique and historical character of the town! will definitely come back there whenever a break from monotonous city life is needed!
