5 DIYs

Okay, I admit I am on a DIY roll now. I'm currently going through various DIY blogs (e.g. a pair & a spare, A Beautiful Mess, FreePeople, Oh So Lovely Vintage, Sincerely, Kinsey, etc) and I can't help but to share all these amazing ideas. I cannot wait to try some of them! 5 DIYs at a time!

1) Natural dyeing with vegatables i.e. beets and onions!

Charm bracelets and gift toppers!

Found these cute DIY charm bracelets and gift toppers from FreePeople! I can't wait till the weekend comes where I can make some! And the gift topper! Oh my, what a brilliant way to add some character to your wrapping!

Pretty cool braids! Could definitely use it to wrap around your head or something! Now I just need someone with long hair whom I can practice on!

PS and it's kinda sexy when guys can do great hair :D

When you believe

Who knows what miracle one can achieve when you believe?

Such a great loss :(

Before...

Just a little sneak peak of my on-going project. It's nothing compared to all the amazing DIY people out there but you know, accomplishing things provides adrenaline, even though it's just one baby step at a time.

So last weekend I chopped off my thrifted skirt (got it for hkd20 only!) and I need to squeeze in some precious time (work is awful this week) in order to mate with my new sewing machine. So hopefully the 'after' pic can come soon!

Did I mention I haven't touched a sewing machine since grade 8?? This will be exciting and interesting...

Must do part 2 asap! It's funny how a few friends thought I was going to sew a dress when I just casually draped the cut fabric onto my mannequin. Oh, and my mannequin is almost 2 years old and this weekend was the first time she was more than just a decor! I felt so domestic sitting on the floor with scissors and measuring tape around my neck ;)
