Paper clay craft

I was looking through my old boxes and found these little trasure of mine. These little cups are made from paper clay. I coloured them and filled them up with candle. They are 3.5 cm tall with 2cm diameter. These little treasure are old made them like ermm...10 years ago. I made a lot and gave them to my friends but these were few that left(in bad condition). I did made some key chain out of the same paper clay, didn't left any of them. Gave them all away and were very delighted to do so.

 Inside stamps book

I made this stamps book for my stamps collection years ago (about 12 or 13 or more years ago). I found it while searching through my old cupboard. Anyone out there still collect stamps? I wonder...ehem...I still do. It tooks me a lot of time to make this stamps book because I need to cut the pieces of card board into the same size (I use recycle cardboard) plus cutting and arranging the stamps pockets on each page and finally glue them together into a book. The glueing part is not as hard as the cutting part. But I'm statisfied with the product. hehehe...(^.^)

I love making stuff when I'm free. I remember I made a few diaries from my old school exercise book (which I feel wasted if I throw it away for recycle, so I recycled them my own way). I cut out the unused pages and stick them together into one book. I made 3 out of the scrap papers. My diaries are real thick because I like thick books. hehe...I write a lot back then but not so much now. I can't show you all the diaries because it was in a bad shape now, there was a flood one year and the water rose real high eveything in my house were gone so there goes my diaries.

 

Hope this recyle stamps book inspire you to create something nicer than mine!!

My sundress

These two are my sundress. I bought it haha...If only I could sew them with the cloths I bought few weeks ago. It would be nice.Waiting for the day to come.

How to enlarge your shoe!

I bought this pair of shoes last week. Its the last pair in the stall, its a bit tight though my foot could fit in but I bought it anyway coz I like the color. I did something to make them fit better. Since this shoes is make of plastic leather, it will get softer and could be pull larger when its hot. So I use my hair dryer to blow it until its soft enough, then I stuff in lots of paper to enlarge it. Then set it to cool with the paper in it so that the shape stays that way after its cold. I did this for a few times and the shoes could fit me nicely after that.  I have to be careful when doing this becoz it gets really hot when its soft.   

Of course its not avisible to wear shoes which are tight for your feet but in my case I just can't resist it so I use this method to enlarge it. You could try this method incase the shoes you like is a bit tight for your foot.

my friend said

My friend told me the other day that one of her friend said this:

"I'm such a wonderful person to know, but what people see on me is how I wear and ...."

From a book I read today!

Another set of cloths

Here are another 5 pieces of cloths I bought but still I haven't decide what to do with it. Thinking of some tube dresses and skirts. The problem here is I never sew a dress before so I'm afraid might spoil these nice cloths.

My new set of cloths

I saw all these cloths in the shop...they were so pretty...hawaiian style print and bright colour the way I like it so I just take them all but I haven't figure out what to do with them. Any idea? perhaps with some pattern and how to sew them. (^.^)

I read somewhere...

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others, for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone
