Couple Mugs

So cute! An idea for a couple present..
My boyfriend, I call him oppa, and I are planning on going to a pottery painting/glazing shop for our 1 year anniversary (I'm excited~!) ..maybe I'll use something similar?

I love crafts!

Recipes for Happiness

101 Bird Tales is a blog by Amelia Chritchlow who does fantastic things with visual media.

I wanted to highlight one of her posts on how to make your own book out of materials you already have in your home.

It looks fun! I want to try it someday..maybe when I'm not dragging around a workload the size of a small country.

Check it out and be inspired!

Whales and Strawberry pillows

I've recently become excited about DIY stuff.
What kind right now? pillows in the shapes of things
Why? Because they're super easy to make

I had some yards of purple polyester satin weave fabric (yaay textiles classes!) and decided to buy some stuffing...

and made a whale.

I'll post a picture of my finished product later.

My next goal is to make a strawberry. I was inspired by anneorshine on youtube. She's so creative!

Paper Garlands

This was my background for quite a long time..it made my desk seem cleaner.

Cotton Bird Designs

They make so many pretty things out of paper!  Mainly for weddings, but I wouldn't mind decorating my room just for fun with a paper bird or two :)

I love clean, simple, and airy things~

Be happy~

Our lives always seem to overflow with stress and heartache.. this picture set taken by Koala made me smile.  We go through so much work and sometimes we forget that the reason why is because we want happiness.  I should take things one step at a time..and appreciate the small things~

Think happy!

Tea Poem

The sound of trickling water,
The simmering of the kettle,
The simplicity and orderliness
The touch of the bowl and
The bitter flavour...
And you thought tea
Was just something you had a cup of.
I love this poem!  One of my favorite passions is tea and everything about tea.  It's so calming, and yet...charismatic in so many surprising ways!

Interior Design Moment

My friend, Koala, sent along these pictures of a room that I would love to replicate in my own place someday...

It's such a cool blog!  It makes me want to take pictures of food..then eat the food.

Care for a Fortune Cookie?

I was researching for a class of mine, and I randomly came across origami fortune cookies..

Too cute, if I had the paper, I would sit in my room and fold these for days.
Birthday gifts for life? yes.

A Thousand Paper Stars

Hello, world!

There's a saying.
Make a paper star
Place it in a bowl,
that's one memory, feeling, experience, moment..
it's materialized into a star.

Make 999 more,
and your greatest wish
will be granted.

I have my own bowl/jar of stars, but I'm a very visual person

That means I like pictures.

I guess I wanted to document in notes what I document in my head.

I hope you enjoy, Thanks for stopping by~
