knit, decoupage and bake

i'm restless and bored. most of the time i feel sleepy so i try to make myself busy.
i'll do anything but write!


my second attempt at knitting. it's perfect!
i'm thinking of making a wallet or bag out of it. 
no idea yet so it stays like that for me to admire for now :)

not everything came out perfect though. 
tried to make this sugar cube recipe and had it dried overnight.


but some of it crumbled. next time i have to add more water. 


i also decoupaged the new cabinet using origami paper. 
then the red and black linings are washi tapes :)
it took me about 7 hours to finish this but i'm happier (90%)
with my second decoupage attempt.  


on top is my paper lamp, my first ever diy project.


i also made this NO BAKE OREO BARS today with the help of Tata. 
recipe here. so easy to make and delicious too. perfect for black coffee.
i think i'm going to give this as gifts to my officemates instead. 

i added almonds on top and additional butter. 
next time we'll add more marshmallows and butter.

too bad my throat aches. it feels like i'm coming down with a flu.

DIY cabinet

today i made a cardboard box cabinet composed of 
3 layers of cardboards of different sizes. 

i'm not proud of it because i think i can do better. 
but this will do for storage room 
while i don't have a cabinet for my materials yet. 


i used decoupage. i enjoy the process of putting on glue everywhere 
but the problem is there are bubbles everywhere!  




next time, i'll decoupage my Muji table with fabric. 


i ordered some items from Deovir Arts. it's the best online shop! (not in my budget but couldn't help it.  they'll arrive tomorrow together with my Fabric Mod Podge! 


for Xmas or my birthday, a gift certificate from Deovir would make me happy!
wink wink!
