She needs a name : (

Am terrible because:

1. She proberly can't hear now because she was the first SBL I tried taking apart and totally injured her.

2. Her lips were terribly carved as I did not have the proper tools (I was based overseas and was desperate to custom a doll, with or without the right tools)

3. I never set her fringe properly

4. Her makeup looks terrible!!!!

5. I NEVER NAMED HER!!!

I'm trying to make amends. This is also my break month thus I've been going through my older gals, touching them up and giving them make-overs! Hopefully I've learnt a little some thing from Project runway and watching numerous episodes of Tim Gunn's guide to style!

ps. do feel free to leave name suggestions.

Here's a little picture story of her:

her little road to recovery:

Proj2: Pinky lurve

Every notice how we out grow our jewellery and accesories? Instead of throwing them away, why not give them a little TLC face-lift ?

I had this string of Tourmaline for the longest time purchased with the believe of it’s healing properties. I had almost forgotten I had it till I gave my little jewellery box a spring cleaning.
It's now been given a little up-cycling as it’s previously strung style is a little too passe for me and I can’t bear to dispose it. Now, I can’t wait to wear it with my little Garnet bracelet which is in need of a hook change for a multi-layer bohemian look :D 




Here's it's before

Here’s a little read about it’s healing properties:

Relaxing and nurturing, pink tourmaline is associated with feminine energies.
It vibrates a deep resonance with the heart chakra. It has the potential to heal emotional wounds with its soft, soothing energy to bring feelings of comfort and safety.

 Emotional balancer and cleanser.

• Alleviates stress and obsessive behaviour.
• Assists in changing patterns to better align with spiritual growth.
• Radiates kindness and tolerance.

When was the last time you cooked together?

In recent conversations with my better half, we began to realise that the little things we do together such as cooking have been taken for granted. It's come to our realisation that we are pretty much gratful we've both got similar taste in food and luv cooking together which is sometimes obscure in some relationships.
On more creative days we try to recreate recipes from our childhood as well as concoct new ones... here's one of our ways of storing the recipes besides in our iphones. We personalise our own reciepe cards by printing our own designs on recycled xmas presents' packaging and the backs of xmas cards.

Hoarder!

Am a hoarder and I admit it.
I loveeeeeee keeping paper scraps, have dozens of loose widowed buttons and as part of my job now, have loads of scrap fabric. Add the above to my goal for 2010 to recycle and buy less newly produced resources and here is something I came up with for one of my latest styling job.





Yes, they're home-made napkins with home-made napkin rings.

Hope this idea is well -liked :D
