Birthday Gift Wrapping

December 2, 2018     Like This Post!

It was my friend Gabby’s birthday early in November. I don’t know what exactly sparked me to partake in getting into the mode of making her birthday present pretty.

Well, I kinda do know. I took a trip to a stationery store in Montclair, New Jersey called Parcel and it got me hyped. Their embellishment packs, stamps, vintage paper, and all the variety of goods really made me feel like I needed to step up my gift wrapping game. This was my first attempt at it and it makes me all ready to go wild and crazy for wrapping Christmas presents.

Fuzzy Dresser Drawers

October 3, 2018     Like This Post!

Before the company I work for enforced a textile recycle program, I used to grab fabric from the trash bags other designers threw out. Literally, so. much. fabric.
I came across a small bag of fuzzy material that was being trashed and I couldn’t just leave it behind. I took it and ran.

As for the dresser, I had this wooden dresser since as long as I could remember. Knobs were falling off, the drawers got all scratched up - it was a bit of a mess and I wanted to fix it real bad. I thought to glue on the fuzzy material and buy new knobs and BAM - a fresh and fun dresser.

Monochrome Bead Picture Frames

September 12, 2018     Like This Post!

One day browsing through the internet, I was looking at some ornate frames and was trying to think of ways to imitate it. I wasn’t about to buy a block of wood and carve shapes and textures into it. So I thought “I have a ton of beads that I can glue onto cheap flat frames”. Maybe paint them all monochrome after that. I kinda just winged it after gluing beads down.

The summer seems to be flying by as August is coming up in a few days. The time is also coming for me to move into a new place with my roommate and a friend. Living the rental life, we have to think of creative ways of using up wall space while not making any holes.

‘Journal Stuff’ Pouch

February 21, 2018     Like This Post!

Since starting my bullet journal, I’ve been all about buying stickers, markers, and washi tape. It got to the point where I didn’t know how to organize and I needed a pouch to hold them in. It’s easier to have one dedicated to my journal, so I set aside some time to get organized. I made a planner specifically for my “journal stuff”.

Bullet Journal 2018

February 14, 2018     Like This Post!

Back in high school, I was obsessed with my agenda books. I decorated the covers, doodled all in the insides, and made note of everything I needed to keep track of. I was organized. College brought the opposite. I got lazy. Had no planner. Honestly I don’t remember how I kept track of things. Last year was the first year since high school that I bought a planner. But I couldn’t get into the swing of things and I rarely used it. Organization means a lot to me, but sometimes I really do find it hard to get into the swing of things.

Hanging Rag Tassels

September 22, 2017     Like This Post!

After being absent for a month, I’m feeling confident coming back with some new projects, words, and pop culture sharing.

I’ve been quite into the “rag” projects lately. There’s nothing like using fabric you don’t have a use for. This rag rug is a good project to make a dent, especially when you make multiple. I made another one for a friend and I may potentially make an area rug size for another friend. It feels good making space in your fabric scrap drawers.
