Doily Easter Basket

I love doily! It seems they are so hit lately!

You can see I used paper doily for display during craft fair.

I came across Martha's quick and smart way to make a doily basket. And there is a how-to video. (right hand side)

Crafty Hearts

I am preparing for the upcoming craft fair. As it is a Valentine's Day Market, I plan to have some little hearts as embellishment. It is so fun to make it with Hearty Clay and have these little crafty hearts.

It can be a charm on the gift, a bookmark, or even a tiny card. I did not make a lot of it. I still have to cut out all those earrings cards and sort out the packaging matter.

Christmas is coming!

Christmas is my favourite time of the year. It is merry merry all around. Not yet mention the glittering decorations! This is my 2nd year of Christmas as a Mrs. I am figuring if I should host a little party at home.

These lovely gift wrappings are found at Oh Joy! The talented designer owns her little online shop as well.

More gift wrapping ideas at Creature Comforts.

I just love Mae's wrapping paper!

Blueberry Jam

One night, I cannot sleep and feel like cooking. So I snagged a little box of blueberry out from the fridge and made some jam. It feels so good every time I make jam. It is relaxing and joyful. Fruity sweetness just fill up your room. It makes me happier!

Moreover, homemade jam is just healthier with less preservatives.

1 portion of fruit + 1 portion of sugar + time and love = Yummy JAM

New Idea for Backdrops

It has been the season of planning weddings! I was told there will be at least 3 of my lucky friends will tie the knot at the year end! Reflecting my wedding decoration process, backdrop has been a HUGH issue. I would want to be unique yet economically affordable... :)

This is an example from Design Sponge for an affordable yet stunning backdrop!

How to achieve without a wedding decor:

Snag lots of 1" wide ribbons and ask a sewing lady to have them trimmed on a thick fishing wire / similar ribbon. Leaving an extra 1"-2" length for curly ends. Lightly run across the ribbon ends to a lit candle to get rid of lint if necessary.
