Monday Blue - My dream cottage

Blue is Monday. (I wish I don't feel this every Monday)
Blue is sad.
Blue is cool.
Blue is the sky.
Blue is the ocean.
Blue is jazz.
Blue is Levis. (But I can't fit in any Levis jeans)
Blue is loyalty and trust.
Blue is boy. (My bebe)
Blue is Subaru. (My Bebe said this 'desmond says: (12:34:55 AM) subaru is vivid blue my bebe')
Blue is a no no for food. (Except the blue eggs we made for Nicky's birthday)
Blue is the eye shadow colour that I don't have yet.
Blue is the colour theme for my little dream cottage.

Here is a tour of how my little dream cottage will look like. :p Have been gathering all these lovely examples of cottage in my inspiration folder, but i have lost the link for some of the pictures here, please let me know if you know the owner or the link of the pictures, I will edit the post to add in the credits. Sorry about that.

I like the big glass window which i can lie on the bench to read books and watch the rain and sun.

The blue bath tub is so lovely!

Sweet dreams!

I'm still a kid, I'm sure you too.

I went to an art shop to do some shopping in this afternoon. I found this set of Colleen colour pencil that I love it so much when i was young. Without thinking much about it, i bought the set of colour pencil, even i don't use it now. It just bring back a lots of sweet childhood memories.

My favorite Colleen colour pencil.

Balloons, do kids love balloons? I don't know about other kids, but i do, but not when it burst :p

My pet!

Haha, we were influenced by Leon, too excited over the oranges was still growing during winter time. :p

Swatch Potraits

I came across to this blog, Purl Bee, a blog which full of beautiful materials and tools for knitting, sewing, quilting, and other crafts, as well as inspiring tutorials and links. I found an inspiring idea on decorating my dining wall. It's just quick and easy by using scarp fabric, felt and hoops.

Paper Art

I was back to my hometown, Kuantan, during the long weekend break.It was a fun and lovely trip, as the main purpose i went back was to celebrate my dad's birthday. It reminds me of i used to do a lot of hand made birthday card to my parents when i was young. From drawing a greeting card with colour pencil, until i grew older, i did 3D card, pop up card and I was so obsessed with doing paper craft/ paper sculpture when i was in college time.

Here is a giant greeting paper sculpture done by me and my sis, Susien (also with some help and guidance by Yenhuei) during 1999 as a gift for my granny's 50th years of wedding anniversary. The theme of the paper sculpture was ' Peony', as peony is a symbol for nobility, value and beauty. Particularly, a full bloom peony represent prosperity and peace, which will bring good serendipity and success to people.

This is the biggest 'greeting card' i done. About 1.5' X 5'.

Here are some pictures of works done by the guru of paper sculpture, Peter Callesen, from Denmark. His works is awesome and very imaginative. Enjoy some of the works that done by him. I love all his works.

Raya card

Did some quick and easy Raya card today. A customers ordered 15 orchids to be sent to friends and business partners as Raya gift, so needed some cards to send along with the orchids. Ailynn was asking if i'm free to do some cards instead of buy ready printed card, sure i'll do the cards.

Draw a Raya symbolic pattern in Illustrator and printed on white canson paper. Punch hold and tie with green ribbon to hang on the orchids.

To write or not to write a blog?

I'm not a person who good in writing (I hate writing essay during school time :p) , but i'm a person who loves all the nice and pretty things. I love good food, nice photos, nice perfume bottle, nice posters, nice decor, nice clothing, nice accessories....every and any thing that is nice, pretty, beautiful and delicious. Therefor, i think my blog going to be a picture heavy blog to record things i like, a bookmark of website and blogs that inspire me and visual documentation of my life. Oh ya... and a way to polish up my English writing skill.

The only 3 diary/journal that i use in my life of time.
