Clam Craft

We had a scrumptious buffet at a leading five star hotel the other day. It served an abundance of seafood and among them was this clam. I had two of it and I couldn’t really tell whether I enjoy chewing on it or not but anyway, the clam shell was what intrigued me as I requested for it to be taken with me when I leave the hotel. They even wrapped it nicely for me. Then the fun begins, I knew I wanted it for my craft. Since it is wide enough to hold my rings and small items, I proceeded to spray paint it Ivory or white. I really like it as it is waterproof, I can now use it to hold small items or I can use it as a soap holder in the bathroom.

Repurposed Cabinet Door into Clothes Hanger

I have been slow to update my blog because of the on going renovation we were doing to our house. Anyway, it is taking shape now and I am quite satisfied with the outcome. One thing came to mind when doing all these were the thoughts of recycling some of the bathroom cabinet doors. It is still in good condition and the wood was of high quality, thus it was hard and durable. I chose to turn it into a craft of sort, a cabinet door recreated into a clothes hanger or you can turn it into a jewellery display board. It is very easy to do it. I sand the wood panel and then I sprayed paint it with my favourite colour. I have a packet of IKEA white door knobs and I just screwed it into the drilled holes. I cut and glued my favourite wallpaper onto the middle portion and stencilled my name on to the top or you could add an inspirational quote if you like. Maybe my next project I am going to write some inspirational quotes or I will do a distressed wood work.

Baby Booties and Telletubbies Socks

Recently I was cleaning out my huge wardrobe in my master suite bedroom and I came across a box of Jonathan's baby booties, baby shirts and a Telletubbies socks. It brings back the names Laa Laa, Po, Dipsy and Tinky Winky . Telletubbies was the Children Television series he used to like and watch when he was younger . For awhile I was excited about the find and went on to see what else was inside the box and I decided to write something about it in my blog just in case I misplaced it and it’s gone from my memory. I still keep some of Jonathan baby things and I also found out that I still got his old toys and whatnot. It will be interesting to rampage through it. It feels strange to see how small all the shirts and booties were and now he has grown up. I do feel a bit of nostalgia if I were to throw it away, well I guess once again it goes into the box for keepsakes and this time for as long as I relish the idea of having it there.

Pendant Light

I have been busy these few weeks that explain my long hiatus in updating my blog. Busy because I was preparing to pack some of my house things so that the mini renovation can take place without a hitch. I am planning on renovating my master bathroom and the guest bathroom. Anyway recently I took up the courage to change most of my lightings and I am satisfied with the outcome. I have long liked the look of a pendant light especially those designs by Fumagalli Italy. It looks very nostalgic and it reminds me of the classic movie Gas Light.

Delicious Apple Pie

I was thinking of apple pie when I thought of a heavenly made dessert, it is one of my favourite desserts and it is also very easy to prepare. I like my apple pie with a dash of brown sugar and apricot jam, the taste is definitely delicious when eaten warm from the oven. When I prepare the filling I would boil the sliced apple till a bit soft and then just pour over my pre baked crust and put in the rest of the ingredients. Wash with an egg yolk on the pie crust and bake till brown 160Degree C for 25 minutes.
