Appliques & Flowers

The iPad has been my constant companion lately, I love how it allows me to be connected with my favourite blogs, check and info I need on the go and I have my recipes on there so I can refer while cooking or baking. Naturally, I want to protect my spanking new gadget, I decided to sew my own iPad cover.

The thing is I did not like many of those DIY designs I saw online, the only one I fancied was not meant to be an iPad cover, it was supposed to be a cloth envelope. So I set out to figure out the measurements on my own - it took a long time, much trial and error, some wasted fabrics later... the iPad case was too small. Well, if I pushed and stuffed it, the cover fits, ALMOST.

Despite it all, I'm proud of the applique on the iPad cover that I made. With every project, fail or succeed, we are bound to learn something right? No worries, I will make another one soon when i have another afternoon to spare!

To cushion the disappointment, I received lovely flowers today and had a successful try of a new recipe! (read it at Deery Lou Aromas)

Oh well, happy mid-week!

Home to call our own

It feels like we are ticking off a checklist of life one by one. After the wedding, we were back to the hectic work then we signed away the next stage of life to a new home.

The legalities have just been completed last week and starting from now we are waiting for the apartment to be built. The target completion date is Oct 2014, many says it is usually ready by 3rd quarter in year 2013.

Although there will be some adjusting to do moving to the eastern part of the island, we are nevertheless excited to have somewhere to call our own.

Giving thanks everyday for what we have :)
