IKEA Frosta Stools

10.01.2013 by Leah //

I have a long-standing crush on this IKEA Frosta Stool. I originally wanted these for our dining chairs. But I couldn't find any IKEA furniture at the malls, so we bought a 4-seater dining set at Mandaue Foam instead.   No regrets there.  I love its simple design and dark wood finish.  However, that did not stop me from lusting after these Frosta stools! Thankfully I ... READ MORE

Learning the Art of Calligraphy

09.29.2013 by Leah //

I've been a fan of calligraphy since I was I kid.  I have this Speedball Textbook (20th Edition) that I bought with my own allowance which, sadly, I can no longer find (sob!). (Photo source here.) I also saved up for this Parker Calligraphy Set, bought when I was in high school, that I still have to this day. I wish I've kept some of my calligraphy 'doodles' ... READ MORE

Holiday Gift Idea for Kids: Breakfast Bowl Bouquet

09.25.2013 by Leah //

These pretty ceramic bowls 'bowled me' over when I saw them at the Landmark some weeks ago.  They're cute, sturdy, and very, very cheap at P25.00 each! Last Saturday, I worked on a gift idea using this bowl by arranging inside it the following: individually packed cereal, tetra pak milk, raisins, cookies and spoon and fork wrapped in a colorful napkin.  The result is a ...

A Crafty Give-Away!

09.15.2013 by Leah //

Time for another give-away, yes! And because you all love the craft items I got from 168 Mall Divisoria (which, to this day, is still getting the most hit in my blog!), I rounded up a few items I have here at home, and came up with this nice lot that is sure to bring a happy face to one (1) winner: It has everything I love right now! And because it's not much, ... READ MORE

A Birthday Card for Maxine

07.28.2013 by Leah //

2 weeks ago, my kumare, Denise, asked me to pinch in ideas for a homemade birthday card she's making for her daughter (and my inaanak) Maxine, who celebrated her 8th birthday last July 19.   Maxine asked for a "birthday card" as gift from her parents and so Denise has to make one that will surprise her very creative and artistic daughter hehe! The "birthday card" wish of ... READ MORE

Upcycled Christmas Paper Bags

07.13.2013 by Leah //

Since our city adopted a ban on the use of plastics in establishments like groceries, stores restaurants, I have been collecting the paper bags that are used as packaging for the stuff we buy. And since it'll be only 8 weeks before the "-ber" months set in, I thought of "up-cyling" them into Christmas paper bags!   I used the typeletter stamps I bought at 168 Mall in ... READ MORE

Morning Quote in Letter Stamps

05.11.2013 by Leah //

The quote above is from James Russell Lowell, an American poet, critic and editor.  I chose this for my first letter stamp project because my week at the office was so stressful and unpredictable.  To be able to survive, I try to look at the positive side of things.  And this quote totally nailed it - my thoughts and sentiments exactly. I used the thick typeletter stamps I ... READ MORE
