12.365 Washi Tape vs Drawer organizing ideas

Text and Image by POPPY SEED

My hubby loves things to be organised.

He has files for bills, receipts, work documents,

and paper piles.

As we moved into our new home, he has designed for himself a drawer with many partitions. He usually organise the bills and documents according to the month. 

Hence here comes my task- labelling his drawer.

Almost all types of tape will leave a tape mark, 

except Washi Tape. And that's why I like Washi Tape.

To organise his drawer:

1. Select the matching Washi Tapes

2. Tape them on the border of drawer

3. Name each category (e.g. months, tasks)

Washi Tape is made from natural fibers, such as bamboo, mulberry ,gampi tree or other native trees in Japan. 

Washi Tape feels like masking tape, 

but with beautiful patterns and designs printed on it.

No more clutters at home!

Washi Tapes comes in handy 

especially when I am making the greeting card.

It brings out perfectly the excitement of the joyous occasion.

Even the wooden pegs begin to dance.

I use them to design my own gift wrap too.

不舍得丢弃的废物

图文来自：POPPY SEED

你会不会也和我一样，

时常不舍得把一些看似废物的东西丢掉，

哪怕有一天会用得着它。

今天我的废物一：干去的鲜花

废物二： 玻璃瓶

其实，只要花花个十几分钟，

废物就变艺术品了，有可能。

用些麻绳，把干花绑起，

然后在瓶子上再绑个蝴蝶结。

看起来有些复古。

或许也可以用蕾丝衬托底。

作品完成。

虽然花已经干枯了，

但是当把瓶子装饰后，这一切都不再单调。

（喔，我的宝宝露脸了！）

Making pizza the cheater's way

Image and Text by POPPY SEED

I enjoy cooking, baking and trying new things out in the kitchen,

but time is always the limiting factor.

Here is my quick fix recipe for pizza. 

In less than 30 minutes, I got the yummy dinner on the table.

These pizza ingredients can be found in AEON supermarket.

Step 1: Place pizza bases on an aluminium foil.

(I use MISSION wraps for the thin crust pizza base and

TRICIOUS pizza base for the thick crust pizza)

In the meanwhile, preheat the oven 220 degC, fan forced.

Step 2: Spread the base evenly with Pasta Baked Sauce (creamy tomato and mozzarella).

Step 3: Top each pizza with your favourite toppings, 

i.e. mushroom, sausages, ham, chicken slice, meatball, pineapple, tomato, etc.

I prefer to pan fry the mushroom, sausages and meaty toppings beforehand.

You can also turn a can of tuna into a quick and easy pizza topping.

Step 4: Last but not least, sprinkle generously with mozzarella cheese on each pizza.

Step 5: Baked in oven until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.

It takes approximately 10 mins.

Step 6: Serve while it's hot!

准备渡假去～必备物

Text and Image by Poppy Seed

再过几天，我就要去黄金海岸Gold Coast探望小弟了。

真的太期待了！

但唯一担心的是，愉快后的证据~ 被晒黑的脸。

所以旅行必备物就是遮阳帽。

以下照片是小小加工后的帽子。

原来的遮阳帽长成这个样子。

长得还不错，但有点看腻了。

所以跑到了手工店，买了这个百搭的蕾丝花边。

我用针线缝了上去。

其实也可以用万能胶，

但假如以后我想换换设计而拆去蕾丝，那么就会留下胶印。

看起来还不错哦。：）

从我的washi tape宝箱里发现了还没用过的贴着。

有着动物身上五彩缤纷的花纹。

心血来潮，就把贴着贴在白纸上。

然后用黑笔构出动物的形状。

长颈鹿叔叔诞生了。

还有他的好朋友，斑马太太。

然后我选了一个青草配小红花的贴着。

贴了个长方形，

在里头写了给 “welcome home, baby"

把他们都摆在一起，

热烈欢迎回着家的孩子。
