crafts: something's brewing...

my mum is my inspiration. since i was a little girl, she has always encouraged me to explore my artsy side through art classes, dance, music and crafts. all things that i grew to enjoy immensely in life later. but i thank my lucky stars all the time that i got a little creative bone from her.

inspired by these images, we're working on a new project this christmas. a collaboration of sorts.. but more like im her assistant and she runs the show actually... i get all the 2nd-class tasks, ironing seams, cleaning loose threads, hold the cloth but i'll gladly play 2nd fiddle to her.. its already a promotion cos when i was younger, i was only allowed to watch but not touch.

  3. hahaha!!! :)
    bingo! :) thus far i've stayed at my friends place. but NYC is known for their luxurious hotels.. not entirely sure about cheap accomodation!! there is a website that has vacation rentals, you stay in people's home but pay less than hotel! :)
    i liked momofuku! but make reservations for their chicken meal!
    the hotdog place "nathans" is all over the states but the orginal home of nathans is at coney island in brooklyn! do check out central park, my favorite place!
