New craft

While on vacation last May in the Philippines my mom thought me some beading technique and I enjoyed doing it.  While over there I finished a placemat which I like a lot. She send me some beads to work on and couple of weeks ago I tried making a a small purse and love it a a lot so I was inspired to make purse for my netbook too!

this is the small purse which i use a lot to care my iphone, credit cards, id and cash. I like this because it's big enough that it can hold my essentials and it's also small enough to fit at Josh pocket when I go shopping and want my hands to be free. :-)

This is the bigger purse that can hold my netbook.

and this the place mat I made while in Naga.


Jelly Belly

I love Jelly Belly!!! For our anniversary Joshua gave me a jar of  gourmet Jelly Belly.  It has 49 different flavors, and i tried every single flavor and halfway through it my tongue fells like it'c coated with sugar, eww!


Here are picture of my Joshy's sweet anniversary surprise.

he got all my teddy bears (most of them are his gift) and scattered flowers on the bed and he made a banner too.  I'm really not expecting this because we just decided to have a nice breakfast before going work.  I discovered this 2 hours after coming home from work. 

Then we went to s seafood restaurant then paly at Dave and Buster's and Joshua tried had to win me as many tickets he can so we can get new baby bear!

Learning new things




I enjoy learning new things and the most recent is nail arts!  When I can't sleep a usually watch videos youtube.com, mostly about the Philippines and some Filipino Soap opera, yeah I'm not ashamed to say that, I know even if it's sometimes absurd and so predictable I still enjoy it. I thinks it's because it make me feel connected to my country.  

So back to my nail art adventures, I found several how-to videos about it and tried it for myself.  This week I think I changed my nail polish 3 times just because I want to try new design i have in mind and I only have 2 stes of hand to wrok with!! If only Joshua would  let me touch his nails to paint! he he he 


Purple polish on the tip, four white dots across the nail and random red dots.  I only have few nail polish right now so this is what I came up with.

 This one I made using my sister-in-law's nail polish collection. 

Here I tried the gradation technique i learned in Youtube. Fun design so glittery.
