简单家居玫瑰装饰

上个星期,我的家开了个house warming party. 
我在忙碌准备晚餐之余,还要打扫干净。哪里还找时间布置客厅呢?
打开橱,想了想,到底要怎么来个又快又漂亮的布置呢?
登登!我看见了4个装意大利面酱的玻璃瓶。好吧,那来插花吧。



先把酱取出,放进别的盒子。
把玻璃瓶洗干净。

小贴士:假如玻璃瓶上还留下贴纸的痕迹,
那么可以把炒菜用的油涂在痕迹上,
用海绵刷一刷,痕迹就没了。





然后,窝跑去了Bangsar Floristika鲜花零售商一趟,
果真找到了新鲜且便宜的花。
我选了淡粉红的玫瑰和满天星。





把花减短到适合花瓶的高度。
随意的把粉红玫瑰放进玻璃瓶里,再把满天星插进作陪衬。
顿然,我的小窝变得温暖又生气了。

Painting "Elephant"



TEXT by POPPY SEED

We always learn that an animal or a person must have 2 eyes, 1 nose and 1 mouth,
and these face features must sit at the proper position
A while ago, I was reading an article and being challenged of this concept.
So I decided to draw something (don't know what) from a different view.

With water painting, I simply draw any shapes I want with red paint.
Leave it till it dries, then draw any patterns freely with blue paint,
and at last, with yellow paint. (you can use different colour too, but try to keep it to less than 3 colours)
Then look at the finished pattern, does it look like any animal?
If you don't have a clue, try to rotate the paper, or look into a corner of the painting, till you see some resemblance of an animal.
Then, use a black pen to trace out the outline of the animals.

Here is my imaginative animal.

Who says we must draw and write using the hand we normally use? 
See.. I can draw with my left hand too!
 I then painted it with acrylic paint.
Aren't their crooked eyes cute? :P

Hi guys, 
this week I would like to share with you one of the inspirations of my artwork, 
that's  my sister's birthday!

I made her a card, not just a card.
What are the key features of the card?

1. It is her pretend-Iphone
2. Hand-drawn of her family portrait 
3. Message for her- our insight jokes. Lol
4. Her favourite cupids and pink floral Washi Tapes 
5. Last but least, it is made with dozens of love

Happy birthday again, my beautiful sister! xoxo

8.365 Washi Tapes - Mini Project for Cabinet Organization

Text by PY. Images by PY.


Oh my goodness! We have been away for a while! We are sorry to keep you waiting. 
>.<

It's been an exciting month with some hiccups along the way. (Internet was down for 3 weeks at the office at Kajang. Yes, TM net, we need better service from you. My personal internet was down at home too. Unifi, how could it be possible that internet service was down for a whole block of condo in Sri Petaling for more than a week?!)

Anyway, something exciting is brewing and it is still too early to disclose. ^u^
We will definitely share the news with everyone when the timing is right!

Mean while, here is a mini project for cabinet organization. 

If you are like me, who tend to mix up the clothes and always have troubles finding them, then this simple project is perfect for you. Washi tape is gentle enough for the surface of the cabinet. You can easily peel it off and replace it when you are in the mood for a change of pattern.  


I just love the floral pattern on the knob.  You can create a similar effect with Washi Tapes too. 

Camisole, white, black, tank, polo, what else??
9 drawers

Bigger view of the cabinet/wardrobe. 

Have a great week ahead!!

7.365 Washi Tapes - DIY Card Using Letter Block

Text and Images by Poppy Seed.

Washi Tapes VS Letter Block Card


A is for the Apple in my eye
B is for the Bestest friend I see
C is Cheeky cheesy extraordinary
D is even more than any Deer I have met and....  (sing with the tune of 'LOVE' by Nat King Cole)

So what does each alphabet mean to you?

Echoing PY's previous blog post, Easter is here!
I have crafted two alphabet cards to my dear friends to celebrate this joyous occasion.

I personally think that G and P are for Easter.

G is for Grace, the kindness of God.
Ephesian 2:4-2:8- But God being rich in mercy, because of His great love, even while we were dead in sin, he made us alive together with Christ. By grace, you have been saved through faith.





P is for Peace. 
John 14:27- "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid." Jesus said to his disciples before he was going to the Cross. 







Please continue reading if you would like to join me in the fun of crafting.

Material needed:
  • Letter block
  • Colte Washi Tape
  • Paper
  • Scissor
  • Colour Pencil

Step by step, one two three:
  1. Decorate the letter block using Colte Washi Tape. Kindly refer to the figures above.
  2. Cut off the excessive edge
  3. Complete the word by writing the remaining alphabets on a small card. Colour it.
  4. Write your message at the back of the card.
  5. Stick the card on the letter block.

I hope you enjoy this. Do drop me a message and tell me your thoughts =)

The End~

Easter is just around the corner!

Text by PY. Images sourced by PY (see link)


Easter is a festival for Christians to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. For non Christians, this is the day where you can show your respects to your Christian friend's faith. Or even join them to decorate some easter eggs. (Respect one another, that's what we shall do and teach our children. Right?) 

My sister and some of my dear friends are Christians. I wonder if they decorate any easter eggs or hunt any eggs at their backyard. 

There are some very pretty and interesting easter eggs that i found across the internet and I would like to share with you here.

Most eggs shown in the pictures above are the ones with snowy white shell. For Malaysian, it is easier to find the brown shell eggs. I would love to try the "Simple Hand Drawn Easter Eggs" from Confetti Sunshine this weekend but i wonder if it will have the same effect on the brown eggs.
What about you? Does Easter mean anything to you? Or it is just another lazy Sunday? If you are interested to decorate some eggs for fun, which one would you like to try? ^u^
