During the day, I have to fight with the bug for time. She's a time hog. She takes up all my time leaving me with little to non. And when I do try to craft, she'll want to 'help' too. I could do with less help from her, really.
So what is a girl to do? Craft at night! When little people are asleep. I have a couple of swaps to complete. All due end of this month.
Why I picked up a new hobby I will never know. Not that I have any free time on my hands. This new hobby is quite addictive though. I just love getting mail. Getting stuff in mail is even better. I was trying to figure out whether this new hobby is expensive and I've come to the conclusion that it isn't. It's basically a hobby where everyone just buys more stuff. Because when you buy stuff to send to people, you get the same type of stuff back. So, you're getting your money back, in a form of something different. If you're not careful however, you'll end up with a whole lot more stuff than when you started!
Does anyone other than me know what I'm rambling on about? No? Do yourself a favor and click that link above then.
I also have a really busy day tomorrow. I have a lunch meeting with a client to discuss her wedding cake and let her taste the cake I chose for her. I have to bake cream puffs and burger buns and cupcakes as well. And still I choose to craft. This would be the perfect time for my mother to say, "you've got to set your priorities right!".
Mommy dearest isn't here, however. Therefore I'm spared of the lecture. I do feel that my decision to NOT sleep is going to bite me in the derrière. I'm not that worried though. I'm more the live in the moment kind of person.
My table is awfully messy from all this crafting. I took some photos to show you the current state of it. It's pretty, but messy.
And lastly, I'll leave you with a photo of why I hate and love polymer clay.

sweet nurul..
lepas comment entry nurul yg ni, ju terus off lappy & bersiap nak keluar. tengok2 ada surprise kat mailbox. huwaaaaa ! happy laaaaa makcik. dah la semalam dari dira. hari ni dari nurul pulak. mmg tak sangka sangat !
terima kasih nurul...
haaa ju nak tanya nurul ni.. yg lembu bakar tu kan, nurul guna apa ? paper clay ke ? yg harga dia RM15 sebungkus tu ke ?
haaa pasal cookies craft tu, nanti ju cari gamba tunjuk kat nurul k. nurul suka baking gak kan ? haaaa mesti idea nurul byk nanti.. =)
kat sini susah la nak cari felt. geramnye.. nurul selalunye beli kat kedai camana ? kedai kain ke ? kedai pengantin ke ? hmm kedai kasut ke ? =P
jadi balik melaka malam ni ? have a safe journey ok.. =)
Yang lembu terbakar tu, guna polymer clay. paper clay pun boleh gak. senang lagi kot? tak yah masuk oven. tapi, paper clay boleh pecah rasanya. Polymer clay tak pecah. Dia bergetah.
Felt nurul beli kat craft store. Kalau nak, nurul boleh tlg belikan lah. Ada satu kedai ni, macam2 color. Plus, good quality felt. Imported dr mana tah. but better than the ones you can find at the craft store. Tapi tu kedai brg brg jahit + quilt.
Nurul, mana nak dapatkan felt...nak gi kedai yg nurul ckp tu..klo area shah alam pj kl dira sanggup cari..yg dira tau ada satu kedai kain kat ss2 pj jual felt tp warna basic je..bgtau k..mcm teringin plak nak wat mcm2 ni..
comelnya lembu tu... moooo~
hehe seriously, comel gila!
I feel so happy to see my items in the making! The lovely cows and cat and little dotee were FOR ME! I love them and have admired them several times since opening my package yesterday. You are a wonderful swapper and such an ARTIST! THank you again!!
