Hang Up Some Inspiration!

by 4 Comments

Ten days to go before my Make Your Own Inspirational Banner workshop with Make it Blissful! I'm really excited because this is the first time I'm sharing this particular craft project and there is just a long list of creative things one can do with them! I enjoy making these banners because you can turn a quote or keywords, an image or even just a letter to make your very own. Use it to spruce up an empty wall or a work space and let it inspire, get you going or simply be something pretty that makes you happy. :) We have one in our bedroom, just above the head of our bed that simply says Read More

The Girls’ All White Gallery Wall

by 1 Comment

You have probably noticed it by now, but I really enjoy my daughters' room. I like being in there with them and I like fixing it up for them (okay, maybe I do it for myself too). It's probably the effect of seeing too many cute little girls' rooms on Pinterest. But aside from decorating it with their own artwork and craft projects, I also like to make art myself to put in their room. So recently, I put together a small wall gallery of illustrations, paintings and photographs for their room. I really like the idea of an all white gallery and thought it would be perfect for the girls Read More

DIY Aztec Pattern Fabric Wall Art

by Leave a Comment

Since we moved in to our current apartment last February, I've been slowly filling our walls with photographs and art. Most of the artwork I put up Kayo and I made ourselves and a number are prints and postcards we've collected through the years. There are one or two wall spaces I'm still trying to decorate but my recent progress involved a wall in our living room area where there's a gigantic fuse box of an eye sore! Actually, when we have guests, that's one of the first things they see and they almost always wonder out loud saying, "What the heck is that?!" I guess when the building was Read More

DIY Slogan Banner

by Leave a Comment

I recently started following brand stylist and creative soul, Latonya Yvette on Instagram. While looking through her photos, I spotted the gold letter buntings over her bed which says, "Only Love." I instantly fell in love with the short but profound slogan and thought that it's just perfect to place in a bedroom. So I took those inspiring words and made them mine by turning it into a simple fabric banner artwork. As mentioned in one of my previous posts, I'm currently very fond of sewing, so I decided to sew the banner myself, using cream colored muslin cloth. It's quite easy to make Read More

We’re Moving!

by Leave a Comment

It's all so sudden and unexpected yet it's God's brilliant answer to our prayers. After two great years at our current apartment, we're moving again and it's all happening within the next few weeks!  The first box we packed. This explains why I have not worked on any crafts lately and have been silent on the blog for some time. We have been busy packing and moving our belongings, as well as having some cabinets made and additional fixtures installed. Last weekend, we spent the afternoon at the home depot looking for materials and checking prices. Choosing cabinet doors at the home Read More

No 9 Craft For Christmas: Christmas Themed Art Display

by Leave a Comment

   Several months back, Kayo and I put together a nail-free gallery wall on one of our apartment walls. All we used are clear stick-on hooks and small binder clips! It's a cheap and easy way to install art without having to drill holes on your wall and you have the liberty to change up the art anytime you feel like it. So this month, I decided to change our art display and make it Christmas themed! First, I put together the art I wanted to hang. Of course you could buy art if you'd like but I didn't spend anything for our display at all! I just looked in old calendars, magazines and Read More

L’ Indochine: Seeking Inspiration

by 1 Comment

As mentioned on my last post of Weekend Snapshots, I dropped by L' Indochine, one of my current favorite shops, last Saturday. I like it there because their items are one of a kind, they are hand made by skilled crafters and artists from all over Asia and the designs, though very ethnic, Indo-Asian in flavor, are also very modern and stylish. It even smells good inside the store!      While I was there, I was lucky to meet Charlene Panutat-Carlos, one of the shop owners, and she was so kind to share with me stories behind some of the pieces they're selling. She saw me holding one of the Read More

DIY Stenciled Tablecloths

by Leave a Comment

This was an art project I did for Summer's second birthday party last month and it also happened to be my favorite DIY decor piece for that occasion. I said I would post a tutorial so here it goes.    With the right pattern and color, decorating a plain old tablecloth can help make your dining table or party venue look festive. It's a great conversation piece! It's also very easy to make and quite inexpensive. Here's how: 1. Prepare the materials: cardboard, craft knife, cutting mat, sponge, textile paint (I bought mine at True Value, P50 for a 100ml tub, which is enough for 2-3 Read More
