we have a home!! and other weekend lovin'!

i got severely bitten by the sewing bug this weekend. the little guy was put to serious work and was humming away for the whole weekend!! our curtains are hemmed and we're in the middle of making daniel some awesome bento bags!


hello, toy! :)


my first sewing project - a pin cushion and scraps bin!

it sits on the edge of the table while i work away on my desk. its weighted by pebbles that i picked from our rock garden (which was a bad idea, btw..). i followed a really fun tutorial from merriment design but tweaked the measurements and the materials to suit what i could find in my home!! not perfect but serves the purpose! now my workdesk won't be covered with little bits of thread and bit and pieces! :)

we spent the ENTIRE weekend setting up our new home! our boxes from singapore arrived late last week and we've been up to our neck with cardboard boxes. the whole house is still covered with thingmagig but its so exciting to see all our old things pop up in our new place. if you take a huge whiff, they still smell like home.. and we spent our entire month's paycheck in one big whoop on home things. good news is we have a swanky new fridge and most things settled.

bad news is, we have just enough to be eating tau-gay (beansprouts) for the rest of the month!!

    it was initially white and minimalistic!! so i lined it with this pink polka dotted oil cloth! great for scratches and spills!!
