Stuffs..stuffs...

Ayman's Exhibits for the IB examiner... I like his chicken wire man & self potrait in blue.

The bluish duckie that caught my eye..there's a few more..chefs duckie & brown duckie..but I left those out and now it's in my mind..hmmph...

The bluish&pink edge handtowel with hydrangeas motifs..

Cutesy ya..!

Sophie Kinsella's books...3 for the price of 2..

Yesterday..we were in Bahran for Ayman's IB exhibits...basically the showing of his art work for today's examiner visits. I hope that he will fare very well...as he has been facing quite some hard walls recently...

Anyway..we had about an hour b4 getting to the school...so hannah wanted to drop by at Seef Mall...Here we tried out some crepes...which is basically lempeng tepung which the French had evolutionized..from the store's history script..it did mentioned that crepes originated from Asia a long..long...time ago. When I was in Paris in 2007..we did have some sweet crepes/lempeng at Bal's house..she said it can be bought in packs at the bakery...

I was slightly tipsy yesterday..wanting to find something sweet nd new...sort of an attack mode.. but I did have to stop myself into buying more of the cutesies....just bcos I was with Zayd who keeps shaking his head...arghhh...

So..this were it plus Sophie Kinsella books which goes for 3 for the price of 2...when I will be reading it actually..beats me!! But many seems to enjoy reading her books plus the first few pages I skimmed really sounds interesting....

Comfort Living...After 5 years..Some Shifting Around Was Done..

I have been living in this house for close to 6 years now..the house itself was built sometime early 80's..but for every 5 or so years it will be refurbished...so we had to ahve it done immediately upon returning from Zurich. If postponed, our turn might not come till another 2 or 3 months maybe...Anyway..it took about 10days to complete..with carpet & tile change, repainting, kitchen table-top change and outside painting too... Once it's done..till today..I haven't really complete putting back all the stuffs. Man..there's soo much small stuffs I don't know where it should be...probably bcos we are minus 1 shelving unit and bookcase..so stuffs have got no space now..Thinking a visit to IKEA is good now... The photos shows what I have done so far....still need more work..but probably once I got the extra shelves...

Another Welcome Signs..

Seems like I do this a lot....most are for request..in fact I have 3 request orders for these to complete. It is also something I can handle within the most 2 days....if i really work on it that is. Difficult part will still be the hand-lettering and patterns although some basecoloring can easily be covered....

Anyways..I like the combination of Plaid~Grass Green base with roses of Permanent Rose & Wicker White and Pure Black for the letterings. The leaves was still tricky for me...it were Thicket with W.Whites touch and Forest Green/Bayberry...

I wanted to put on some ribbons but it did not turn out right in practise so I forgo it. The font was Vivaldi using Microsoft Word available fonts...

Need to varnish and touch-up here and there b4 I start on the next one.
