Welcoming June

June, already?

Gonna find my crafting bug...

I'll be right back..!

Cross stitch forever, housework whenever

I love weekends. Less chaos, less commotions.

I love peaceful mornings of the weekend. No kids fighting over who gets to bathe first, no need to check out kids not forgetting to bring their homeworks or projects, no need to prepare kids' lunch boxes in such a hurry...

And the best thing is, I can pamper myself with a "real" morning coffee instead of an instant one... With sugar and lots of cream...

By the way, earlier this week I have decided to join the Margaret Sherry Lovers' Summer Exchange... Not sure what I'll make though, so I wish myself luck...

Now, let's forget housework this weekend. I'll need to finish my Soda piece and start my 2nd cat of Cool Cats SAL.

This is a preview of my unfinished & abandoned Soda piece, the Cafe Mocha.

Here is my prepared materials for Summer Cat.

I wish you all a pleasant weekend!

My day 01/05

Good bye my favorite month of April...

My day 19/04

How do I say it? My life has just begun?

Gardening anxiety

I have always been concerned about nature. Come to think of it, I only did it in a non-action way. A small example is the gardening. Knowing plants' Latin name, picking plants or tree to be planted, waiting for the flowers to bloom were all I did.

I actually never plant and take care of my plants in my garden. I let someone else do that part for me. The biggest contribution I have ever made was watering them (if it didn't rain...).

But I always enjoyed when flowers started to come out and bloom. I take minutes of my mornings to observe and enjoy them. Contented much.....?
I think I have to start doing the gardening myself.

This one blooms this morning. I didn't know what this blue orchid-like plant was until I googled about it. It's Neomarica gracilis, the Walking Iris, or we use to call it "anggrek tanah" (means ground orchid).

This one is my yellow Plumeria sp. or Frangipani. We use to call it "kemboja".

This one is my Murraya paniculata or Orange Jasmine. We use to call it "kemuning". These flowers smell very good & fresh, almost like jasmine.

Change is always good?

It's been only 2 months since I exclaimed and posted that I love that one picture sharing app on my mobile phone, the Instagram.

But it began to develop a few major changes (not much to my liking... sadly).

It was the app of the year 2011. Then the team began to expand users, a different operating system users. And yesterday it was bought by the amazing Facebook...

As much as I'm happy for the Instagram team, still I'm not amused at all...

I'm taking it too seriously... It's just an app by the way...

Spring Cat

I finally finished stitching my cat #1 last night! *happydance*

It's worth all the commotions I've been through... LOL
Now, I'm going to proceed with cat #2, the Summer Cat.
