Medley #001

Yup, I have been away for sometime…

The children had to make something for their mother’s day present , and being their form teacher, I decided to get them to do something cute and useful in way…
They got some red felt, some sequins,fake leaves, saftey pins , glue and scissors.

1. Trace a flower shape on the red felt ( Two sizes one big, the other slightly small )
2. Get the children to cut out the flower shapes.
3. Let them decorate the two flower shapes with sequins using glue on the top side only.
4. Place the smaller shaped flower on top of the big shaped flower
5. Place the fake leaf in between the two flower shapes, and apply glue in between the two flower
6. Let it dry and next cut a small piece of red felt , enough to fit into the space of a saftey pin
7. Get a saftey pin place the felt through the gap and apply glue onto the felt and press firmly to the back of the flower .

Now for some random stuff

Something that has somethiing to do with azumanga daioh

Why is a butterfly called a butterfly?

Yes, I suppose that was the most silliest question ever , but how did the butterfly get its name. I couldn’t think of anything. Who was this person who initally named it and what was he / she thinking? An image of a block of butter with wings flying around was all I could think of. Margarinefly , Lardfly and whatever…anybody knows why..let me know thanks!

The weather , yes the weather is becoming unbearable. Lately it has been getting waay too hot for anyone here. I stick to the fan, since its uses less electricity then the air conditioner, doing my bit to consume less electricity and also lesser electricity bill to pay.

and here at 6pm, it feels like its 12pm in the afternoon…..

well, what else can I say about the weather, its just hot, heat, blazing , inferno, hellish ….and all the words to desrcibe this horrible weather… its making anyone and everyone grumpy.

My sister has graciously (finally!!!) allowed me to have my own table in our room.
She decided to change her rather large table and decided that I should be allowed a table too, after checking this Ikeahack website.

This is her side of the table…

and this is mine…rather messy with all my crafty stash and what not…

I found this table mat at some shop and used it for my table…

koi fishes and cherry flowers…

I had this Ikea storage / display unit for a few years now, it was just housing some knickknacks and cds.

I covered it with fabrics and applied acrylic sealer so that now I can use it to store my craft stash and etc.

Much more useful then before.

More crafting or beading really…this is my new craze and its so easy once you get your math sorted out.

Now to more important stuff….shopping!!

I’m in love with my new bag I got from Muji

and loving this sunflowerish card case

plus this slip on

and my new shoes that were on sale …

It’s the 1st of may and it’s labour day…one extra holiday …and looking forward to the weekend.
