New Drops + Drapes
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, my twigs were on some of these cool blogs (many months ago!) – For Me, For You, Color Collective, dee9:14. Thank you ladies, I was quietly very thrilled!

wish/want
want: to go explore more parks
wish: I lived in the forest [maybe as a mushroom]
wish: I didn’t have to spend extra money on daily contact lenses, monthlys give me red eyes now, I don’t know why.
want: my big toe, second and third toe to heal. they are bruised blue and black. I dislike painting my toe nails but they’re very ugly naked right now.
wish: I was a cat
want: my home to look like a cafe and have a pantry like a cafe but is a home?
wish: I had more discipline to finish my craft
If there’s anything I learnt about myself in the past year or two, is that I’ve become a lot more realistic, I like it simple, uncomplicated, edited, having patience helps and doing things at my own pace and ultimately getting things done is better than doing things at someone else’s pace and not getting things done. Do you share similar feelings too?

Wordless chorus
Yesterday I;
started the day real early with some dim sum at Red Star
went down town after many weeks -yikes- and came home with this pencil eraser from muji and new bras! not exactly sexy to share but it’s been a tough hunt so I’m super pleased.
ended the day with a full load of processed food – instant noods, canned bamboo shoots (I LOVE!), fried tofu, some honeydew and iced green tea
a mad thunderstorm woke me at about 2AM, couldn’t sleep after and so I had eggs on toast with warm milo
completed a different style of the twiggy things I’ve been making, sending this out to someone
And I also finished watching BBC’s Long Way Down, a documentary of Ewan McGregor and his buddy, Charley Boorman’s motorcycle adventure from Scotland to Cape Town, Africa. The first one’s Long Way Round (London to New York City) and I have to get my hands on that one next. It was beautiful to watch, the sights in Africa especially Ethiopia, Kenya and Malawi are nothing I imagined the continent to be. I wonder if I’ll ever make it out there some day. I highly recommend watching it if you like a sense of adventure and feeling emo!
What’s everyone been up to? I’ve been catching up on sleep and feeling like I have small small eyes every waking hour.
