Today

{Photo by me}

Today is Nov 4. I woke up heated a bun from Chui Wah for my husband, made a cucumber salad for myself. We sipped tea together on the sofa. It is a good way to start a day. I found my inspiration again.

A good weekend

A slightly belated update :P

I had fun at the Amor Handmade Market. It felt great to meet my crafty friends { 小熊 。Hermoso and of course Oli and Karama } while have some sales. Fewer visitors came. Perhaps, there are quite a lot of handmade markets going on elsewhere.

Anyway, I am happy enough. And will keep on going for the next BIG project. :D

New vs Old

I am very happy that I will be joining a craft show on Oct 30, 2010 (Sat) at the lovely Amor Workshop again.

I have been a little tied up with the creative work lately. Promotion seems being neglected. I am finding a new way to express my experience from Edinburgh, both emotionally and technically.

I am striking for a WOW. My husband and friends have been very nice to re-affirmed me that my original works are good enough.

I am an awkward girl. I do not liaise with others. I do not join the art scene. I just stay at home and wait for the muse. My mind just crumbled. I need a NEW me. And hopefully you will see a new jujube. Thus a deadline is needed. Thank god.

Btw, shop will be re-launch followed by the market on Nov 1.

Are you ready for some gift wrapping?

I noticed there are more and more ladies having Cath Kidston's handbags once I returned from UK. The fun part is I never saw them at the UK Cath Kidston's stores. A few days ago I realized those bags are free gifts from the Japanese magazines. HKD$90 a magazine to go with a bag. A great deal.

If you like Cath Kidston's style, you are likely to fall in love with Jessica's store, Such Pretty Things. Floral and shabby :)

Furnished

我回來了。和愛丁堡比較香港真的很潮濕。悶熱。不過我還是十分興奮。無論在那邊的食物是多好味，handmade的小店是多可愛，這裡還是我的家。在英國生活的點滴都會是我和C的重要回憶。我們兩人，沒有親戚朋友，什麼都沒有；我每天焗面包, 煮飯，打理我們的小小的apartment， 自己一個人去Tesco買東西，去找好味的Chai Tea， 這些我都要記住。不要被香港生活迫人的急速影響。

話說我們不在時家裡大裝修，回來時周圍都是泥土色的塵，又抺又掃，花了我一星期我才敢unpack 將東西放回原處，還未可開始正常的生活。今天有點累，想懶一下， 不過看到這圖片，又想起home maker 的樂趣。我要對生活有要求。

I am back. Back to the reality of hot humid but sweet home land, Hong Kong. It was a rewarding trip and experience for both me and C. I am so proud of myself to live in a foreign country for some time. We were not tourist. We had no relatives and friends. We just lived there. On my own, I run my little home with my husband. I baked, cooked, shopped and cleaned our little nest. That will be some valuable memory.

Despite of the extremely delayed flight, I have been fighting to have my home re-organized after the renovation. It is hard not to keep my hands off from tidying, wiping and dusting. Our washroom, kitchen and the floor are all covered with yellowish dust.

I am a bit deflated today. The weather is too hot. My hands are too itchy. But once I saw this photo, I reminded myself, I am a home maker. There is always some joy of "looking after" your home.

My mind and my home will be furnished.
