My ahma passed away around this time last Monday. The wake is over, the things to be done are done. It’s all quiet now. I’m okay too so don’t worry. I drew and painted this portrait of her… maybe two or three years ago? (Sidenote: that is not her name on the top right corner, [...]
Some things that caught my eye at a Lasalle (grad?) show some months back.
My amazingly talented (and super adorable) friend, Celeste, has a lil exhibition right now at Nana & Bird! I went to see it on Saturday and loved all the interpretations of her alter ego, Puddles. The first two pieces are paintings, followed by prints of her collage work, some silkscreened on wood (!!!) and also silkscreened [...]
Scanned some patterns from this book. Have a perky start to the new week, and may August be kind!
heart-shaped chai tea bits from muji the colour’s way off in the photo, anyway, these are my new shoesies! the Cali oxford from Dieppa Restrepo in gunmetal. favourite shade for the moment, RGB’s Steel. beautiful cards from yellow owl work shop! nice on the outside and nice on the inside too. lemonade from marks & [...]
I know the picture’s a little small to see the details so do click on it to see the larger version! I’m still a tad high from the spontaneous energy a bunch of us had while working on this mini collaboration. It spanned two days? We tweeted, we decided, we did it. Basically four of [...]
I made bolognese sauce last week – a lot of it – because I’ve become a freezer meal person. I took the recipe and freezer meal idea from Real simple, I’ve uploaded a copy of it here. Remember to write the date down! (Same with all the ant & cockroach baits! Which I never do. [...]
HEYYY!!! I’ve just updated my etsy shop with these new babies. I used a different type of paper this time, painted some twigs to go in a different direction, played around with ‘draping’ instead of the usual ‘drops’. I really love a few of these so I hope they end up in good hands! Also, [...]
Howdy! I was supposed to blog about these new stickers on Monday. Monday became Wednesday and I’m behind on reading all your blogs as well, urgh! How is everyone? About the stickers, I’m so in love with the illustrations and the clothes on the girls and their demeanour. I don’t think I’ve ever looked at [...]
I had some pictures involving these twigs and leaves on the blog before, those were taken during the making process. I’ve finally finished them and they’re now available in my etsy store. The idea behind it was initially to create a decorative piece that would have movement to it. I wish I could for the [...]

She has badges, hand-bound books, handmade jewelry and possibly bags and buntings for sale for you. Her stall will be on L1, well anyway, just look out for the fairest girl with the sweetest smile, hee! Dawn [...]
Drew up a family portrait in the last few days. You can click on the image to view it larger, over on Flickr. Alternatively, I learnt this rad tip from Allison – http://ihardlyknowher.com is a minimalist Flickr viewer and it’s cool cos you can choose to view your photos real big. It’s super easy to [...]
Having one thing after another. Planning, worrying, stressing. Then a meeting today. Nursing a giant pimple right smack centre on my nose (this makes you look out for fellow pimple-on-the-nose victims, spotted one today in town). And I can’t seem to sleep every night, I’m feel hungry once my head’s on my pillow. So I’m [...]
First up, photos of the picnic are up on Sarah’s! I am gonna finish up my roll of film and share those later. Love the mix of people who joined us, Sandy, Yvonne, Arlia & her 15 year old sister, Nadia, Nurul and Dybs – You girls were champs despite the rain! And I have [...]
