"It had never occurred to me that our lives, so closely interwoven, could unravel with such speed. If I'd known, maybe I'd have kept tigheter hold of them."

here's another piece i made this week. i bought the bag at the $10 shop. and then added the lace at the bottom. and cross stitched the pattern i found on idees.  no more dark blue for my embroidery work next time. getting bored with it.

here's the first toner i made. have used the rose geranium hydrosol , which smells like the fruit jelly. and then add a bit of aloe vera extracts and mori cortex extracts. these two help soothing the burnt skin and preventing freckles. this is gonna be my "magic water" in summer! and i've also added some hyaluronic acid which is essential for hydrating skin~ at first, i wanna stick the label stating the ingredients used on the bottle as usual. but at last gave it up, coz i thought it looks better the way it is now. and coz i still couldn't find suitable water-proof materials to use as label.

can finally make use of this beautiful lace tape.
i think it matches well with the blue bottle.

Another stuff i worked on this weekend is this mirror set. have finished the embroidery part. but found it extremely difficult in understanding the instruction in japanese for the next step!! don't know why... i become an idiot when it comes to sewing. hope i can figure it out and finish it this week. may ask my dear japanese friend to explain to me if i can see her tomorrow night.

i bought this at felissimo. this pretty embroidery is designed by hiroko ishii.
she's quite popular these days. u'll see a lot of her designs on the
embroidery books and magazines.
check this out for her works if u r interested~ http://cahier.main.jp/ 

i'm happy to know that my japanese friend could finallly reach her relatives in japan. the news about the earthquake and tsunami is heartbreaking. many ppl said it's even more terrible than wht we saw in movie. of course... the power of natural force is never within our imagination. it reminds us how humble men should be. my thoughts and prayers r with those affected in christchurch, japan, and yunnan... and let's pray that the nuclear plant

have bought a very beautiful bracelete last friday. can't put it down after i saw it at the shop. it seems i've seen my friend wearing its ring before. but anyway, i adore this bracelete much more~  since it's just gold coated, not rily made of gold, i can't wear it too often as it might change its color easily. so, i'll keep it in my accessoriesss box and wear it only on special occassion.


this is so special and beautiful~~

and on the same day, i've also bought a shirt from muji. esp like its round collar. yesterday, i embroidered my initial on it. but sadly, i've ruined it... not as nice as the one i made before...  it's now in the washing machine... would take picture of it later and share here my not too successful handmade experience~

today, i've found this magazine at page one! all the cross stitch and embroidery patterns in the book r sooo pretty~~ it worths reading it hundred times!! and it also introduces many cross stitch lovers. will check out all their websites and blogs!
