Interior Ideas #11 - Shelf 'Em Up

Seen @ Apartment Therapy

Seen @ Sugar Spice Living

Seen @ Simply Grove

I have always wanted to showcase Project Love Nest

and it's rather shameful to note that my home,

a.k.a 'The Love Nest' is in no fit condition for a photo

shoot or for parties. I have heaps of things that I have

yet to do for my home, namely unpacking,

cleaning, hanging, drilling, organising... the usual

things one needs to do when they move or setup a 

new place. The thing is that I have been constantly kept

busy and distracted by books, blogs, crafts, TV series

pinterest, Zuma and cups of coffee, shopping and the like.

Anyways, I have always obsessed over shelves.

I love thinking of the kind of shelves to buy, where to

place the shelves and most importantly, what to put 

on the shelves. Anyways, hope you liked the round-up

of shelves. More round-ups and shots of inspirations

to come. I have missed posting about them immensely. 

Colours of Nature

Seen @ Cool Hunter

I love colours and its just so inspiring and amazing to gaze
upon such beautiful and colourful scenes of nature.
I have not had the chance to view such colourful displays of
nature but I am sure those of you in countries that have the
four seasons, would be able to catch glimpses of such
beauty, and when you do, remember to thank God for
His wonderful handiwork and to just pause for awhile
and enjoy the beauty around you.

Happy Wednesday folks!
It's mid-week already *smiles* 

Absolutely Pinwheels

Seen @ The Handmade Movement

Craft dates/parties are something that I have always

looked forward to attending and I chanced upon this one

from The Handmade Movement and I knew that I just had to

join it. I love pinwheels and can't wait to learn how to make

some. However, I think the best part is just being with like

minded people who enjoy crafts. Am going with Cherrie

and before the pinwheel party, we will be discussing our ideas

on how we can work together. Something is definitely 

happening here folks. So wish us luck and if you are free

and want to know how to make pinwheels or just want to

spend an afternoon with crafty friends, visit The 

Handmade Movement site to find out more info.

Have a good week ahead folks!

XOXO

In God's hands

Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow;

 it empties today of its strength. 

Let us try to let go of our worries and 

entrust it in God's capable hands.

Btw, this is my favourite picture of the Divine Mercy.

Every time I look at this picture, it fills my heart

with peace and I feel calmer.

Thank you God for your blessings and your peace.

I love you and trust in you.

I heart Lawn Fawn

Introducing Lawn Fawn, one of my favourite

* All product pics seen @ Lawn Fawn's Two Peas in A Bucket page

Ever since my mum bought me my first acrylic block
for clear stamping some years ago, I have been
earnestly collecting clear stamps.
Now being in Malaysia, its kinda hard to find
clear stamps that are nice and cheap. The ones that are nice
are usually really expensive and the ones that are cheap are
well not very nice. So, after surfing the net and browsing through
craft magazines, I resorted to buying them online and what a new
{and dangerous} world this has opened up for me.

Anyways, after imposing a ban on online purchasing for
clear stamps and craft supplies, I stopped visiting my fav.
online craft stores, but one day boredom {and curiosity}
got the better of me and after several pages of browsing,
I found myself at Lawn Fawn's site.

Now Lawn Fawn's products are not carried in Malaysia
{what a shame!} and are a little bit more expensive when
compared to other brands that make clear stamps, but I have
to say that I do enjoy looking {and hopefully one day, owning}
at their clear stamps. The pics above, are just some of the
clear stamps I hope to one day own *smiles smiles*
Don't you think they are uber cute?
You can checkout their blog here as well.
Happy reading and browsing happy things.

Butterfly Food prints

Seen @ Butterfly Food

Clicked on Butterfly Food's etsy store

and enjoyed looking at her pretty prints which

are for sale. They are somewhat like the prints

I am planning but till mine come about, feast your

eyes on these pretties {or buy some?} *smiles smiles*

Chunky Vegetable Soup

Seen @ Butterflyfoodie

Chunky Vegetable Soup

recipe adapted from Donna Hay

1 tbsp olive oil

1 onion, chopped

2 cloves of garlic, chopped finely

2 stalks of celery, chopped

3 carrots, chopped

1 tbsp fresh thyme

sea salt and fresh ground pepper

2 x cans of chopped tomatoes (14oz)

1 1/2 litres of water or stock

1 cup of pasta (your choice)

 In a large sauce pan over medium heat add the oil, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, thyme and salt and pepper and cook until just soft. Add the tomatoes and water and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the pasta and cook for another 8-10 min. Serves 4-6.

~*~*~*~

I chanced upon this recipe and immediately wanted 

to try it out. It isn't winter here, but it sure looks

like comfort food and something that even I, the non-cook,

can whip up in the kitchen. 

Am thinking of adding some sausages into the mix or 

meatballs. What do you think? 

Happy cooking folks!

'Amazing Things'

Seen @ DW's pinterest collection 

Yup. I just did some 'amazing things'!

Am growing my little store bit by bit.

It's a risk {a pretty one} but life and most

decisions often have risks, right?

Anyways, I pray dear God, that these little

'amazing things' will be fruitful if it is your will.

Watch out for more happy posts and

'amazing things' *smiles smiles*

*Note: I so miss blogging.
