happy valentine's day, loves

hi darlings, its THE day!

one of my favorite celebrations. i tend to shy away from the scruffy contrived bouquets (that is so common in singapore) and boxes of chocolates (that the japanese love to exchange) but there is something magic about a day to indulge in good ole wonderful love. 


 | love |

i had few craft ideas to make something sweet for my friends and co-workers but with the recent crochet blanket project, i've found myself a little short on time (and patience..).


 | love |

but this day is dedicated to the people you love and that include my dear readers who bring me endless joy! so please accept my hugs and kisses from afar in lieu of some thoughtful hand-made bunting!! 
i will get my act together soon!

| love |

of course, i didn't forget about my valentine. i've been planning this top secret project for the past few weeks. im TERRIBLE with surprises cos i always want to tell everyone about everything so there might or might not have been a few slips up here and there. but hopefully he is enjoying it all, right this moment as we speak! i'll share it with you tomorrow!

| love |

meanwhile, what plans do you have for today? 

p.s. i plan to take home the "best partner/girlfriend/wife" award this year so if you have something kick-ass plans.. don't tell my husband! :)

    加油 for the blankie!It'll be done soon, just have to keep at it. Suggest taking a break and do another project for a while just to break the monotony.
