My Martha Stewart Living Magazine(s)

I do order some eMagazine at Zinio... some reasons why I order there...
1. Cheaper to order an eMag than a hardcopy from overseas
2. No transportation fee
3. No piles of magazines at home
4. Can read and search on a device for any issue than find everywhere at home


but no fun that cannot flip around on paper! hahaha 


Recently I received a hardcopy from them! What's a surprise... but that issue I already have my soft copy!!?!?!? @.@


So, let me flip around with this hardcopy!  ahahahahhaa

As we went to The Grand Cinema at Elements shopping mall so we bought some macarons @ LGB. :P


Last Sat was busy busy,... met a friend for coffee for catching up.... then met other friends for Malaysian food, yummy yummy. (I think it must be a famous restaurant as there were many people queueing up at 6:30pm already....)

Crochet - 2-ways Blanket/Cape

Finally finished it!!!!!
The last one full day made 14 flowers and all sew up!!!! I underestimated the whole project working hours....er... anyway let's share the photos with you! ^.^

1. Test Out how to crochet the flower | 2. crochet the blanket itself, 4 rows pattern | 3. crochet all purple color part make sure I would not run out of yarn | 4. add the mint color part | 5. the white part (new skill I learn here! ^.^)

Weave in and trim out all the excess! @.@

Getting closer to completion, the color combination is so nice

1. Beside pin them first, also fold the blanket in half.. make sue 2 sides flower are on the parallel direction! ^.< | 2. Sew one button and crochet a chain on the other side

so now you can see a blanket & a cape! Look so beautiful! haha

Crochet on Glass Bottle: Elephant

When I was young, my parent's bedroom had a tall glass bottle with orange crochet dog.... (um... where is the picture of me next to it?!?!?)Let me ask my mum.... 


Anyway, so one day when I was drinking something.. and I looked at the glass bottle... immediately thinking I should make a crochet animal on top! So I tried this one!!!! 

Actually it was made a while ago... but as recently knitting elephants so thinking of this one! So want to share with you!!!! :) 

Can it inspire you to make something out of a glass bottle or even a wine bottle to create some cute little thing for decoration!!! ^.^

Let's get creative!!!

Few days ago, I was surfing online and I found an exhibition of showing Japanese Rubber Stamp Carving.. and even workshop! But it is too late!!!!!!!!!! 


The show has 3 phrases, (1) April 1 to May 20 - some Japanese stamp-carving instructors were here showing their work..... (2) May 24-25: WORKSHOP.....  !_! so sad knowing toooooo late... but I am sure if I know earlier still could not get in as limited seats....  anyway.. (3) May 24-Jun 30: They are showing the Master Artist, Ms. Tomoko Tsukui. I have read some of her publications before.


So, today is SaTurDay... I put my knitting or crochet whatever aside.. I went there to see her real work!!!! 


I am too shy to take photos of her works so cannot share here with you! But some of them are really a big piece of carving work, (2/3 of a A4 size & nearly A4 size)!!! They are very detail!!!!!!! Although not showing too many as the place is too small (The venue is one of the commercial building locates somewhere in Central, near to LanKwaiFong. 


When we got in, they gave us a movie-like ticket and asked us to fill out some contact info for the LUCKY DRAW! ahahahhaa... They also selling some of her products, such as stamps, books, fabric... and even stamp making rubber and accessories.
