Kids Rooms For Adults


Stumbled on this collection of Unique Kids Rooms over at Babble & just had to share it here. Personally, I think many of the decorations will translate well in adult spaces too. I’m especially in love the vintage globe mobile pictured top right.

Love People

 

“I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.” Truer words were never spoken. Mr Van Gogh, you were one wise man.

Yes, I’m Alive

And kicking, folks! I seem to be saying this a lot here, but sorry for flaking out on you. If you’ve been following me on twitter, you’d know that I’m swamped with projects & a new joint venture. We’ve worked together on two events this April & below are pictures from our latest work which is the Solemnization ceremony of Attila & Rozaila.

We proposed a modern classic theme to reflect their gorgeous home at Taman Bukit Seputeh & finally settled on an overall chevron pattern in burgundy, teal & light pink. We didn’t want anything too frou frou & over the top which is prevalent in most Malay weddings, so we were so thrilled to no end that the couple were happy to go with the simple yet streamlined design. There are more pictures of the event over at our Facebook page (do like us while you’re there). Have a look!

We Were On Bella NTV7!

our little set up
Michelle's soaps & ingredients
ingredients needed for body scrubs
tshirt refashioning!
behind the scenes 
Tallest, taller, short. L - R: Michelle, Daphne & me.
 
Yours truly had the honor to be on Bella of channel NTV7 a couple of weeks ago with Michelle of Kinder Soaps. We were interviewed by the effervescent Daphne Iking & shared with her our DIY passion. I showed Daphne some of the things we’ve whipped up during our HandmadeKL craft parties like refashioning old tshirts & how to make your own sugar body scrub (which Daphne is holding up in the picture above), while Michelle actually made soap on set! How cool is that?

I wasn’t as nervous as I thought I’d be on a LIVE show because Daphne made it a lot of fun & it turns out she actually has quite a lot in common with Michelle & I as she loves to craft too! We chatted during commercials so when the cameras were back on it just felt like we were continuing the conversation & we were showing a friend how we do our crafts. It was only after the whole thing that it sunk how Daphne was such a fantastic host that she was able to keep us from feeling nervous & kept the whole conversation bubbly & fun! I am officially in awe of show hosts now. It’s not an easy job eh?

Oh and before I forget, shout out to Hazie, Albert & the rest of the Bella crew for being wonderfully nice & so accommodating. You guys rock!

And I’m Back!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
Sorry to keep disappearing on you folks. I’ve been swamped with work & loving every minute of it but missing this blog oh so desperately! If you’ve been following me for awhile now, you’d know that I started out selling handmade jewelry, followed by lipbalms, buntings, throwing craft parties & now I find myself doing event styling! Crazy, right? To you, it might sound like I’m all over the place (sometimes I think so too) but in retrospect, I feel like it’s a natural progression of what I started out to do: to craft for a living & to share my love of crafting with as many people as possible. I thank my lucky stars every day that I get to do exactly that!

DIY: Polka Dot Decals



This is genius, I tell you! When I saw this tutorial over at Fellow Fellow, I had an overwhelming urge to break into my washi tape stash & polka dot all the walls in my house till I remembered I married a man’s man. Bummer. Ah well, a girl can dream right?
