Embroidery hoop art.

 

This is my first attempt and it will not be the last. Seemingly tedious at first, but the fun never ceases, so does the satisfying feeling when it has been finished. (:

 

Crafting, creating, the joy never ends. I think all crafters everywhere will agree with a resounding yes. Hope your weekend has been blessed!

Long or Short?

So this question always comes back at me? Leave the hair to grow out or keep it short? Decisions, decisions.

I like that long bob in the first picture but I adore that long pony tail too. Yup, I am just indecisive like that. Haha!

Two layouts to share!

Boy oh boy, two layouts to share! Its been so long since I sat down to scrap a 12x12 and I am so happy to be able to create again! I can see the drought dying down and me being motivated again to craft with my papers & tools. How I miss these!

So here I am, finally to share what I made last 2 weeks and I do hope these simple, clean layouts would inspire you somewhat. (:

(Using mainly Crate Paper- Storyteller & Random.)

 

 

(Using mainly papers & stickers from my current favourite collection from Echo Park- Eclectic Everyday by Allison Kreft. Love the colours, the designs, the prints!)

 

It is truly a joy to scrap for myself, to play with whatever papers I fancy this season and allow my personal style to unfold. I think I would have to say that I am close to discovering that personal style.

 

What's your style and what inspires you? (: Thanks for coming by!

And finally.

Just returned from a short trip to Malacca! So much feasting, walking, sightseeing, shopping that coming back home felt unreal haha!

I will be blogging about my trip here as soon as I can get my photos sorted out and of course, after a long and dry crafting season, I finally used my favourite papers (Crate Paper) to create a 12x12 layout! Real pleased to be crafting again, albeit a little slow but I am enjoying this process of crafting for myself, without a deadline.

So keep your eyes peeled here! (: blessed night!

Overwhelmed by the love God has given me.

It was a rough week. Trying to make sense of so many things. And God struck my heart about one important thing. His heart for the underprivileged. I have yet to know the complete picture but God reminded me of why I was in the helping profession in the first place. I am driven by the injustices of this world.

Pray along with me that I may seek His will and not my own agendas. God is so good to me.
