301208

The lot of us celebrated our eldest cousin’s birthday at Fish Bistro- Greenwood Ave. with some very reasonably priced set-lunches at $21++…

… and thereafter at Settlers’ for some violent games.

December’08 has been pretty good to me despite being awfully broke.
More to come with such traditions, I hope =)

Happy 2009 world!

 

Scrapbooking etc.

Ange and I attended a Scrapbooking workshop -Just Getting Started – at MADE WITH LOVE. It was really a meaningful and fulfilling way to pass time, seeing that we both have a penchant for Scrapbooking. But no kidding, it’s honestly quite an expensive hobby – I remembered spending close to $250 just on papers, flowers, ribbons and all just for making a scrapbook for the Ex-Bf.

My Monday was good. How was yours?

 

Half-cooked ideas!

I’ve been multitasking.
Juggling my brains and hands with half-cooked ideas, which I’m so so excited about.

Salmon-coloured polka dotted cloth to make a puff-skirt.
(Look at next picture for the true colour)

Knitting – in – process. For my laptop sleeve.
I’d wanted it to be a tote bag. But I casted on too little!

Murakami’s Underground.
I’ve to admit that it was all the hype which got me intrigued and subsequently purchasing it.
I’ve decided to start off with Underground because you can’t go wrong with non-fiction.
Anything non-fiction is sure to fly off the shelves like pancakes!
After all, people are pervasively Kaypoh by nature.

Plus, getting near-daily luncheons prepared by cozzie.
I’m not complaining.

 

Reverie

It’s not even the exams yet but I’ve already filled my mind with countless half-baked-ideas for the holidays!

Plenty of half-baked ideas are:

1. Sign up for a dressmaking class. (kadomay/ Creative Escapes/ Spotlight)
2. Invest in a sewing machine or get Grandma’s Antique SINGER repaired.
3. Get a hand-held mixer. Say Ciao to the bulky Kenwood one.
4. Knit a more decent camera-case.
5. Finish knitting mum’s ( way overdue ) scarf. By the time it’s done, I guess it’s already summer.
6. Make blueberry pancakes!
7. Sew 2 more pillowcases.
8. Continue with pottery.
9. Read my Jodi Picoult at Starbucks.

For now, let’s just call these Reveries.

 

Potluck Sunday.

It’s strange.
But I’m rather excited about Potluck this Sunday. Perhaps its our Would- Be- Contribution that excites me rather than the idea of putting together not-so-fancy food.

Cozzie and I plan on contributing desserts because that’s like all we know how to whip out?
We are thinking of Butterfly-cakes with crushed-berry cream from my Donna Hay Book.
Let’s just hope that it tastes as good as it looks.
