Oh my! I didn't even realize that today was friday! This week just flew by...

I hope everyone has a lovely weekend!

lovely garden

I love these photos by Lori H. They are so soft and serene! I wish I had a garden like this (:

french knot garden

I have always loved embroidering, but it's been a while...

so lately I have been practicing my embroidering skills!

Here, I only used french knots and made cute little flowers!

Here are some doodles that I did just for fun! (:

Sunshine

Hello. I hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine where ever you are. I'm having a pretty mellow weekend, just sitting and drinking lemon&honey water. I bought chocolate muffins yesterday at Costco, they are the best (:

As you all know, I will be opening an Etsy shop! I am planning to open in May, because that is when it's my birthday! I hope everything will turn out great and thank you everyone for your encouragement!

Reasons I Love Spring

1. All of the colorful flowers that bloom in my yard

2. Little birds chirping away in the morning

3. It's still bright out at night! Horray daylight savings (:

4. I don't have to wear big chunky jackets

5. I get to play in the rain!

6. I can lay on the grass and soak up the sun

7. Chanel and I can go running everyday

8. I get to celebrate my birthday in May!

9. Eating fresh fruits and veggies

10. Last but not least, SPRING CLEANING!

Tomorrow is April + Big News (:

Spring is officially here, and it feels so great! I'm happy to say that my neck/back is getting much better! I haven't yet gone to the doctors, but I am planning to wait it out and see if it goes away completely.

Also, I have big news! I have finally decided to open an Etsy shop! I've been wanting to for quite awhile, but I just had no time, so I hope everything goes well! I am expecting to open in April or May because I am currently busy with school. Thanks for your support everyone! I hope the new month brings great joy!

Hello Everyone

I have not been having a good week ): On Sunday I woke up doing my normal routine and all of a sudden I felt a jolt go down my neck & back and then I couldn't move my left side! I was so scared and my parents told me to lay down. Every time I tried to move, I felt sharp pain in my neck. I'm much better now, but the pain has traveled to my back now. I need to go to the doctors soon because I have no idea what's going on with me! Wish me luck and have a great week (:

Yesterday I decided to make some peanut brittle for my dad since he loves that stuff! So I went online & searched for some recipes & I found a recipe that only uses a microwave!!! It's very easy & quick and it turns out wonderful! For those of you interested, here is the recipe (:

My First Embroidery Project

I think it turned out okay, no?

DIY Embroidery Hoop

Yesterday when I bought supplies for embroidering, I completely forgot to buy a hoop! haha silly me (: so I looked around my house & tried to find something that could be used as a hoop, & guess what I found.....a jar lid, and it worked out perfectly!

All you really need for this is a jar that has a lid with two parts like the one shown in the picture above, & a rubber band that will fit nice and tight around the lid. You just place your fabric over the lid then wrap the rubber band around, & voila! an instant embroidery hoop!

enjoy (:
