back, again =)

i'm just glad to be back again.  i didn't notice i have been busy for months.  i just thought you might want to see what i have "managed" to squeeze in to my otherwise busy life.

i'm back trying to make headbands out of the motifs in one of the books my friend Liz gave me.  and, yeah, i am really hoping for more time to catch up with projects i want to make.

 for a closer look

 and for some color

and one for baby's head

phoenix

my spirit soars,
like a phoenix
     bursting,
     burning,
     dying
          to be alive again...

your kiss
     is like a breath of life.
i awake
     to taste my saving grace.

hold me
     like i'd be gone tomorrow...

feel me
     like blood pulsating through your veins

lure me...
dare me...
excite me...

make me burn!

make me yours!

and i'll be, until...

Love! love! love!

There's so much love around me. Hmmm, and I have much love to give.

Love is the theme of my little niece's art.

Love is the theme of these clay MTOs.

And I love these gifts from Luisa. =) Thanks a lot, Liz!

Ukay!

I have this addiction to preloved items, translated as "ukay" in our Visayan dialect. While going through the PhP 10 pile of preloved shirts and blouses, I found this shirt.

Need I say I bought it? Weeeeee!

stitching xs

Been quite busy lately.  My goal to stitch at least 200 x's wasn't met.  To my dismay, I have five WIPs in cross stitch now.  And two more WIPs in painting to stitch pattern conversion (too ambitious, LOL!).  You see I found a free trial of pic-to-pattern software online, and went gaga for a few days over it trying so hard to squeeze as many floss colors as I can in one pattern.  Until my eyes hurt.

I managed to take a picture of one of my stitching WIPs.  I bought this pattern from a local craft shop years ago. This is Azalea Path by Leonard Wren.

I do hope my stitches will fill up this week.  =)  

God Bless!

Crochet Headband

Summer heat makes us women and girls alike want to keep our hair off our faces. I personally like headbands.  Here's a glimpse of what I have been busy with.

sweet time

When I'm not at the shop, not with my hook or my clay, you'll see me in our little kitchen making these sweets.  My home-made pastillas is made of butter and milk, and more milk, cooked over slow fire.

Have a nice day!
