I’m been slightly bitten by the craft-bug lately.
The last time I blogged about continuing my cross-stitch piece of the boy and his bear – failed. I took it out and was stitching a few rows when I remembered why I stopped in the first place – I had no idea what I was going to do with it after it was done. And that put me off just as it did the first time. So once again, it’s going to remain untouched for awhile.
I was at the Garden’s the other week right after my eye check-up @ ISEC and I popped by the huge art store and went a little bonkers.
I was like a kid in a candy store. I was oogling at all the colourful paper, scrapbook ribbons and buttons and things. There were alot of basic stuff as well as fancy-pansy art stuff which I had no idea how to use. Suddenly I wish I studied art of some sort cause these stuff looked so fun! And as much as I like craft, I think I’m really not that good at it 
So I got a few items (after being in there for sooO long) and was inspired to make a farewell card for a colleague. That same night I went back and got to work… till 2am.
“Lydia, you’re a star! All the best!” If there was anyone who would love a handmade card, I know it would be her!
After more than a dozen signatures from close friends and a dinner at Mid Valley…
Guess she really liked it after all! It was meaningful to me that what I made had gone to good use. It was a vessel for everyone to pen down their wishes to her and I’m really proud of it! I had to cut out the words one by one using my X-Acto knife. It was tricky I can tell you that. Don’t know how some people (Made by Julene) make it seem so easy.

This weekend was a real lazy one. Saturday was spent at 1U. The new Jusco is amazing. Looks expensive like Isetan. The food looks real good and they had a good number of real Japanese people behind the counters! Sushi was going at 99 sen/piece which meant we naturally had to have some…
Sushi dinner date on the big couch in front of the TV. Comfy heaven!
And for breakfast the next day we had a good brunch at home of fat juicy pork sausages, baked beans and omelette.
Fat Fat Fat juicy porky sausages from that bloody amazing Jusco 1U Lol
Next I’m gonna do french toast and luncheon meat. Hohoho!
