Some ideas...

Alright, so, I do have some projects on hand. But my over active brain is still throwing some ideas that I want to play around with, if I ever find the time. =P

You know how wall decals are on the rise in popularity? I absolutely love those but I have a mega problem. My walls are the kind where it's textured with bubble-like thingys sticking out. I googled a search and found that it's called the gravel wall.

It looks really rough right? That's a big problem. If I stick my decal on, it's going to be hell removing it at later stages. I cannot stare at something for too long, I get really sick of it. So... my solution? I love photoshop. There are tons of photoshop brushes out there. I have paper. And ta-da! The idea? Do a measurement of area I want to 'decal', do the photoshop brush thing and trace it out! Yay! Splendid idea no? Saves me money and it'd be really easy to remove too. Hopefully this will come to fruition when I actually do find the time to do it. =S it's gonna be a big project. Because not only do I have to trace out the pattern, I would also have to spray paint or paint it by hand. Sigh... But once it's up, I was thinking of intermixing it with hand selected photos of this huge collection I printed out a long time ago. =P Should look fab right? Will defo post pics up when I do finish it =D

The other idea is jewelry holder. My god, organising my accessories is a bitch just because I love dressing up and I like have TONNES of them. My brother in law once asked me 'Are you selling metal?' Soo... if they're like not put away properly, it's a HUGE mass of a lump of metal, findings, chains, hooks, beads, charms etc. My solution? Old shoe box or cardboard box, whatever, basically something pretty hard but still able to cut up. Wrapping paper, cellophane tape (commonly known as scotch tape. But scotch tape is a brand, not the name itself. Just like maggi mee, kleenex, tupperware... and I'm deviating. LOL) must be transparent. Hole puncher - to make the holes to hook the earrings. I hope to make it like this kind of holder but the hanging type.

Except mine will be in a square shape instead and like I said, gonna be hanging I guess. If that fails I can just flat it out and make more layers =P We'll see if I *do* get to that. Wahahaha. However I must say, this jewelry holder is more likely to happen than the wall decal idea. LOL. Oh btw, if you are looking for ways to hang necklaces, go to daiso (Singapore), and grab one of the wire racks thingys. Erm... It's basically a flat metal rectangle with sectioned off squares of about 24. Something like this....

Yeah... so grab some S-hooks and ribbon. What I did was attach the rack to some wall shelves just below them, so it's parallel to the floor. So, after that, hook the S-hooks on, and start hanging your necklaces. And wah la~ That's it. You get to see all the stuff you have! If that rack isn't enough just get more and start doing some layering! LOL.

Alrighty then. I guess that's all for today. Maybe when I do post up the pictures, it will inspire you guys to something DIY-ish. =D

Cheerios~!

First of all, this isn't the first time I've had a blog.

Second of all, it wouldn't be the first time I'm documenting any handicrafts I've done or doing or going to do.

Thirdly, it won't be the last time I would drop my hobby, take a leave of absence from both.

Lastly, it definitely won't be the last time I would pick up again. I always will. =)

As such, pray for me to always find time to do this because I love it, no matter how bad the outcome may be (and I've had some pretty bad ones. LOL).

Oh btw, I actually have no original idea. Sooo... if you're looking for resources, you can stay tune, I surf around a lot for ideas to do. ;)

For now, I am 'The Homey Chic'. Why did I call myself that? I want to hide behind an anonymous name for one, so if my stuff does turn out bad, no one will know better. =P And if it does, well, we'll take it from there. I also love staying home. Going out some times is fine. Having company is great. But some times, because work is like an illness for me at the moment, staying home is like my remedy. =)

I live in Singapore, am in my early 20s, a girl/woman, tall, love heels, clothes, accessories, make up, movies, music,singing, documentaries, kickboxing, belly dancing, MTV dances. TV shows are a must in my life, Friends, How I Met Your Mother, Big Bang Theory, Grey's Anatomy. I blew through HIMYM seasons 1 - 4 in a week. Heh. I read, quite a bit (chick lit =P). My record, Twilight Saga New Moon in a day, The Mortal Instrument 1st Trilogy in 4 days. I dream of being a singer, or an actress, or a business woman, or professional baker, or owning a cafe with millions (ok maybe not millions, but at least a couple hundred close to thousand) of books for customers.

I love fooooooooooooooooodddd~~ Chicken rice is the ultimate. Explains my height and weight. Hahaha. Not a chocolate girl, but a potato chips babe. Oyakodon, ramen, kimchi fried rice, ban mian, salted egg prawn/crab (whichever), black pepper chicken chop, soupy bak chor mee, oyster egg (not oyster omelette), satay, otak, siu yok... OMG. I have to stop. I'm hungry. =S basically, no veggies. Heh.

I knit, crochet, make jewelry, paint shoes, reconstruct clothes, make clothes, bake, cook, bounded books before, delved into scrapbooking, tried fashion designing workshops, mend clothes, cross stitch, was halfway through an embroidery item, tested my hand at beading, made flowers from ribbons, origami etc. I try to do more, but obviously, working adults in Singapore rarely have the time nor the patience to do so. =(( But there is one thing good for handicrafters. It makes one very patient, detailed and a good planner. I'm a very stingy person, so I'd rather do it right once. Even though over the years, my clothes have turned out more disastrous than successful. But rectifying it squeezes your brain juice to come up with creativity too. ;)

All in all, I think I've already said too much about me, too little about crafts and I'm getting lazy already. =P soooooo, till next time, cheerios~!
