Arts and Crafts


Three months ago, I decided to take a break from my day job, and have a real long vacation. If I had enough savings and less financial responsibilities, I would've taken a sabbatical and  my wanderlust, but sadly, its not meant to be -- at least for now.

Meanwhile, I learned to do some crafts and create some beautiful things. Most of my inspiration are found on different websites about crafts. Pinterest in particular have a million ideas that would make you go  oohh and aaahh.

Here are some of the projects that I have completed so far.

Redesign A Shirt
Somebody gave me this blouse, but when I tried it out, I decided there was too much fabric in the front that its not flattering to wear. It makes me feel like I'm trying to hide a bulge in my belly. So I decided to remove the dangling fabric, used the same cloth to create small butterflies and sew it to the blouse.
