Summer exchange update

Hello....
The deadline of the Margaret Sherry Lover's blog Summer Exchange was due several days ago... Well, as predicted, loads of work got in the way... I was a little bit behind and was so sad and sorry....

But I've managed to finish it earlier today!!! But, since I wasn't supposed to post what I'll send to Lu, here's a behind the scene picture of my working table at home...

As soon as Lu receive the package, I'll reveal what inside the package is.

Friendship is a treasure

I received this cute little cup last week. It was from Ms. Lela Thomas & Mr. Randall Hayward -my hubby's colleagues- of Taksu Kirana (a restaurant & spa in Ubud, Bali).

Friends, family members, and colleagues are very much aware that I'm a mugholic, they sent me lovely mugs to add to my collection. I'm very grateful for having them...

Maybe I should start writing & posting the story behind each mug I got.... LOL

Spice up your life

I have been doing the same daily routine lately. Especially since I have no maid to help me around the house. Mornings mean more commotions. Breakfast, e-mails, laundry, .xls spreadsheets, kids homeworks, coffee, etc. Same routine everyday, but in random order.


So, breaking out from my (our) routine, last weekend I decided to have an outdoor breakfast.

No fancy food though, just steamed rice with veggies soup, chicken curry, and fried tofu. Typical Indonesian breakfast.

It was fun, indeed. I'm just too lazy to set the table up. But I will definitely do this again next weekend. An attemp to spice up my daily boring common life...


And by the way, due to those morning chaoses, I forgot to post my finished Soda!

Tracking back through my photo albums, I found out that I started this piece at May 8, 2011. And I finished stitching it at May 16, 2012. Wow, I truly am a procrastinator... Should improve my stitching record in the future :)

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!

It's gonna be May...

Good bye my favorite month of April...

My day 19/04

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