Our Beautiful World 172 ~ Hobby

How many of you are like me? Plenty of hobbies but not enough time.

I shouldn't say paper crafting is my number one hobby, but it is sure what I spent most time on right now.....

I make all sort of things using paper, like this place card for one of my wedding order....

I make mini albums....

cards and lots of other things with paper

 

 I also love sewing.....

this is the pillow I made for Lila, Clare's dog.

 I also love cooking.....

trying different recipes is fun....

baking is also one of my favorite hobby.... I even try to cultivate natural yeast this past week....

this hobby takes time and patient, they said you should name your yeast because you feed time since day one and watch them grow, so I named my first yeast baby SNOW WHITE, this picture here is day one of SNOW WHITE, if all goes well, SNOW WHITE will be full grown yeast by tomorrow, and I am able to use it for baking. I will keep you updated.

One more HOBBY.....

gardening!

I am not very good because my thumbs are not green, but I don't mind keep trying... this is my celery in the garden, hopefully I can show you more photos later.

Ok, I think that is enough HOBBY in this post, I have a lot more but I just need time, I wish there are 48 hours everyday, so I can at least spend a few more hours for my HOBBIES.

Come share with us at.....

 family arrived one after another, we were busy doing things plus in and out of town, I didn't have time to step into my craft room the whole month of December, so...... time to catch up.....

Project Life 2015

December 1

 My sister and Jesse arrived in LAX early today, they will stay a few days in LA with Clare and come to Vegas on Saturday, I was busy cleaning and get ready for a house full of guests in a few days.

Mr. Fox #2 is all done and sitting pretty in our guest room.

December 2

I went shopping all morning, getting some decorations for the holidays and presents for everyone too!

December 3

Randy is away so it is a good time where me the spend the day cleaning and getting the hosue ready for the guests, who will be coming on Saturday.

the mantel look really pretty at night.

December 4

Took Papi to the dog park and then the groom, he gotta look handsome for our guests too!

December 5

I worked in the morning, there was a fire alarm, so we had to take the kids to the open field until the fire department came to clear the situation.

Chew Peng, Jesse, Clare and Jared arrived after lunch. We chat for a while and then took them to Bellagio followed by Korean BBQ!
Mom and Lione arrived late the same night, we took them to Monta for supper.
There are so many people at home now, we do not have enough room to accommodate all, so I have to turn my craft room into a temporarily guest room.

Clare loves this room now! LOL!
 

December 6

Clare and Jared have to leave 6:30 AM his morning, she just became a foster parent for Lila, Lila was to put to sleep if no one takes her, she already had 4 owners before and they all returned her to the pet shelter, Clare will be her foster parent until someone is willing to take her, but the minute I saw the picture Clare sent me, I knew right away that Lila will stay with her.
Look, she already spoiled her with lots of toys.

We went  shopping at Downtown Summerlin, and then have dim sum for lunch, went to China Town too! 

December 7

I made a big breakfast for our guest, and then we went thrifting, it is quite a new experience for my sister. We also went to the outlet mall, I bought 2 pairs of boots and some clothes, gotta to pamper myself too!



Mom made her famous dumplings and DH like it a lot!

it was a fun-filled day full of activities, I am tired but have to pack my bags for tomorrow as my sister, mom, Jesse and I will be leaving for San Francisco!

Thanks for stopping by, more December Project Life coming soon!

Work in Progress (Share Handmade Kindness Week 3 ~ Kids)

At Jennifer Mcguire's blog, you'll find lots of fun stuff going on this month, and it is all about KINDNESS! One challenge I followed since week 1 is......

Week three is all about kids

My sister is visiting next month, this is her first trip to United States, Singapore is so far away and nobody, I mean nobody in my family likes the long flight, they travel all over Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe, they just refused to come to the States, sigh..... but this is changing, my one and only sister is coming, and she is bringing Jesse, her adopted brother, to welcome Jesse, I am making Mr. Fox.....

oh but that is Mr. Fox #1, now this is the Mr. Fox #2....

I can only show Mr. Fox #2's head at this point because he is naked, well, it takes a few days just to complete the body, no time for clothes yet, but I do have time for a little tag to go along....

this is going to be placed in the guest room on the bed for the special guest Jesse.

UPDATE.....

I finally get the jeans done yesterday.....

oh look..... the shirt is ready last night too......

but I can't find the snap (are we all the same, have so much stuff and can't find them when we need them?)

 Oh well, I need to run to Joanne before Mr. Fox #2 can put on his shirt

If you make something for a kid, you can join in the fun challenge HERE!

Jennifer is also running a card shower at her blog, I already make one for Emily, you can check out the details HERE!

Project Life 2015 ~ January 16 to 31

Project Life 2015

January 16

Today, I am done with Mr. Fox's top.....

jeans and boots....

and a scarf too...

January 20

Dolce went back to NYC for school today, little Papi is a little depressed here...

daddy try to cheer him up....

January 21

It is DH's birthday today, just like last year, I baked him pineapple upside down cake, his favorite!

January 23

Today is our wedding anniversary, we went to another cirque du soleil show, Mystere, this gotta be on top of my list, it is fun and hilarious!

January 25

I have been bothered by the problem happened at the Singapore Club, some evil soul decided to stirred things and caused a lot of trouble for me, I was deeply effected emotionally and physically, so to cheer me up, we took Papi to visit his grandma (the owner that sold Papi to us). You should see Papi meeting his little brothers, they were so tiny, like 4 pounds each, but when little brother tried to kiss Papi, he just duck away and hide his head behind me, oh Papi, he is our little baby..

January 29

Not only the issue at Singapore Club is bothering me, we had an unfortunate event around midnight today, 5 teenagers in a pick up truck came to our neighborhood, rang the door bell and then ran back to the truck, waving to us and took photo with their cell phone while we opened the window to see what happened, I saw them drive to our neighbor's house doing the same thing again, I ran downstairs trying to take down their license plate, when they saw me standing in the middle of the road, they even try to run their truck over me, where are their parents when the kids are playing punk like that in the middle of the night? 
Nothing is going smooth in life for the past week, sigh....

Papi had a little adventure today......

he went outside by himself when daddy took him to the backyard, he sneak out from the side gate while daddy was filling up the fountain, and daddy didn't know Papi wasn't around until 20 minutes later. Good thing is that, when daddy went outside to find Papi, Papi was just sniffing around outside the neighbor's garage door, whew..... and all these happened when mom is not home. : 0

January 30

My typewriter finally arrived today!

I decided not to look for a workable vintage one but just go for one that I know for sure that it is working, now I am able to read my own handwriting when I do the journaling for my project life spread, LOL!

January 31

I never like hamburger, but Shake Shack at Madison Square park, NYC is exceptional, I just love that! We learn that they opened a Shake Shack here in Las Vegas, we finally go there to have my favorite hamburger and fries today!

I also have a creamcicle float! Yum!
