.fuchsia 101

Just bought these nice looking fuchsia-gold earrings in a mall nearby. Yay, my fuchsia collection is really growing! I like the vintage-looking coins at the bottom, they balance the bright fuchsia beads.


Searching on, I found these earrings on etsy. Not exactly the same, but the combination of fuchsia and gold make them look similar, at least in my eyes.

I think it's gonna be fun to post the 'twin' for every fuchsia product that I buy. This way, I can spread the love of fuchsia around the world ;D

*okay, now i want to buy the ones from etsy...

.too late

Why didn't I find this earlier? How about orange gives a very detailed explanation on how to make this gift bow. Very easy and practical. It only took me 10 mins to do this.

Too bad the special occasions had passed: hubby's birthday, Christmas, New Year, son's birthday, Valentine and Chinese New Year. Now I have to wait to show off this cute bow.

*you want to save the earth? start with this

.kinder surprise

I never thought that someone could have the same interest in collecting surprise gift from Kinder Joy. But I found one. Go to this blog and you'll find other surprises from Kinder Joy. Meanwhile, these are mine. Ugh, I have two red cars. Wanna trade?

*intended for children but trust me, this is so good

.when tiger falls in love

Hope it's not too late to post our celebration of welcoming the Year of Tiger and Valentine's Day. On that day, we had lunch at East Star, Kelapa Gading with hubby's big family to celebrate Chinese New Year. Then we went to my grandma's house to celebrate it with my big family. As usual, Josh was the center of attention and I think he enjoyed it ;)


Later that night, me and hubby went out for dinner to celebrate V-day. First choice was Immigrant, Plaza Indonesia, but I wasn't too interested with the special menu so we ended having dinner at Grand Beppu. Not that romantic, I know, but having hubby by my side, anywhere is romantic.

Sadly, I didn't have the chance to buy a gift for him, so I hope this made-with-full-of-love postcard is special enough for him. I combined my love for cross stitch, felt and craft with a brilliant idea of 'I love you more than...' campaign from here.



This cute little heart-stamp is my favorite part.

And I can easily add some more.

and this list can go on forever, but the most important thing is

I LOVE YOU MORE THAN I CAN EVER TELL YOU

*kiss kiss

.sweet rendezvous

Weeks ago I spotted this unique batik frame created by my friend, Amesh, my old colleague in CosmoGIRL! magazine. I fell in love and purchased it instantly. Of course I bought the fuchsia one, my favorite color (left hand side).


Some conversations later, she said that she'd like me to create a couple of cross stitches for her next project. So click here for the first batch, which I forgot to take picture.

And here for the second batch, which, I also forgot to take picture :-P This time it's attached to one of her pillow creation. Very nice. To make it even nicer, the pillow is in fuchsia. Hooray.

*should i also buy the pillow?

.an italian dream

Hubby went to Frankfurt and Italy for a business trip yesterday. How I wish I could squeeze myself into his travel case! Going to Italy is one of my biggest dreams.

Why? I love the language. It's not sexy but it's seductive. I love the food. It's too good to be true. I love the ancient buildings. It's so beautiful, I can spend hours just looking at the pics. And this love can go on and on.

Hubby and I like to imagine living in Italy. No work, no pressure. We can go on a picnic everyday, watching Josh playing with nature and eating homemade food. Okay, maybe that's too much but hey, people can dream :) And this simple Picnic-tastic Placemats from team DIY will be a very good companion for our lovely family picnic, don't you think?

*when are we going to move to Italy, hubby?
