Cookies and Fabrics
I met up with dear SYT blackbiscuits yesterday at Plaza Singapura yesterday. We went shopping at Spotlight, the only one left in Singapore. 
It’s terribly messy and I don’t like to shop there but it’s fun when you’ve got good company. 
I learnt about the remnants bin from blackbiscuits and scored a very light blue gingham! I also learnt that the minimum I could buy was 1/4 meter instead of 1/2 meter and bought some light blue gingham for a long overdue craft project.
Home-baked cookies with lotsa love
blackbiscuits‘ going back to Melbourne for her studies in 2 weeks. I’m gonna miss her and the yummy stuff she bakes for me whenever we meet up. She even remembers I hate raisins and dislike nuts even though I only told her once a very long time ago; now she makes me my favorite no-nut chocolate chip cookies. This time the cookies are pink inside and there are even heart shaped “rainbow rice”!
On Valentine’s day, I visited Cynthia’s place and she taught me how to make felt beads and beaded hair slides! She so generously gave me a bag of hemp cords and wool for my own crafty projects. I’m going to post again once I’ve finished a felt bead project. Cynthia holds her own beading classes and you can find more details here!
I went home in the evening and prepared pasta salad with soup for a simple Valentine’s day dinner with hubby. It’s a quiet one this year with no lavish gifts because I’m in between jobs and we’re both pretty broke. It’s my first time whipping up pesto pasta salad and I am very happy with how it turned out. I even had a Jamie Oliver moment charring the capsicum over open fire on the stove! He bought me a single stalk of pink rose, it’s the first pink rose I got from him in all these years! It’s sweet, and pink is sweet. I used to looove half-bloomed blue roses, I don’t know why. Now I prefer them champagne, pink or red, and fully bloomed!
Bling it on!

Oh no, I’ve blown my cover! Yes, I admit to visiting Xiaxue’s blog as much as I don’t like her in real life (because she likes to act diva and snobbish, rude fella who walks into someone else’s office yakking away on her phone disregarding everybody else), you gotta admit her blog is rather entertaining with lots of photos (I don’t like wordy blogs). I found this video very helpful and useful to those who never knew the existence of epoxy: forget “elephant glue”!
I didn’t write this tutorial, she did. Enjoy…
P/S: Not all Singaporeans speak her kind of English. For the really lost ones, Singaporeans do speak English. No, I’m not using a translator and no, Singapore is not in China! 
Heels for my wedding

I don’t have access to the scanner for the past weeks and next so there won’t be any craft book reviews but I promise they’ll be back soon!
