40-year-old dress

2011-01-07T19:50:00.007+08:00

My sister-in-law saved this dress since 1970 and now she handed it down to Jannica. I really don't mind letting my daughter wear it. It obviously didn't have torn nor stains and it absolutely is in good condition.

This photograph was taken last January 1st. What an "old" way to start the "new" year...but if the dress fits then why not?....Anyway, this dress serves as a family heirloom.

Mermaid Princess

2010-06-23T08:15:00.009+08:00

The little mermaid sat and dreamed
Of a life with her prince above.
She wanted to dance with him.
She would give up anything for love.

She agreed to deformity,
Giving up her sleek graceful tail.
Her very life would be forfeit
If in this great quest she should fail.

Mermen must have been much more true
For her to agree to such a plan.
She gambled everything and failed.
She was NOT CHERISHED by her man.

The Brothers Grimm told her sad tale,
of true love again not returned.
A woman who bestows her love,
often by fickle man is spurned.

AmigurumI Cacti

2010-06-23T07:31:00.005+08:00

My deep enthusiasm for plants started when I was 12. I had my own garden collection of all sorts of ornamental plants such as Mexican Sunflower, zinnias various kinds of petunias, tulipans,dahlias, gumamelas, bromeliads and roses. I also had dancing ladies, mickey mouse plants, sunflowers, sampaguitas, aloe vera, golden rosary, kucharitas, yellow bells and various kinds of CACTI. Yes, I was a succulent lover…and still is.

A loving heart will always know the feelings words can't always show.
Behold your little ones. ( Book of Mormon, 3 Nephi, chapter 17)
A baby is something you carry inside you for 9 months, in your arms for 3 years and in your heart FOREVER.

Let them be little for they are only that way for a while.

Belinda the Voodoo Doll

2010-06-14T00:14:00.003+08:00

Just look at what Jannica did to Belinda...she turned her into a voodoo doll with blush on.

Belinda the ballerina

2010-06-12T06:00:00.005+08:00

My daughter just hates sleeveless clothes. She says it makes her feel uncomfortable.So, while crocheting this doll, she constantly reminded me to add the sleeves. Adding sleeves is really not part of my original plan...but what the heck...its her doll anyway. Meet Belinda...

Amigurumi Monkey With Matching Cap and Pouch

2010-06-09T21:52:00.003+08:00

If you had to finish something, it could be a project or a requirement that needs to be submitted the next day and you only have a few hours in the evening to finish it. How would you do it? Would you prefer to sleep earlier and wake up early the next day and finish the work or sleep late until it is finished? Which would work best for you?

Well, mine would have to be the latter. Yes, alright alright…sleeping earlier and wake up early the next day may refresh your mind and body and can make you work best during the wee hours. But then, my excitement for this project kept me awake ALL NIGHT. I was a bit fidgety and was anxious to finish another amigurumi monkey.
I slept at 6 a.m....Yes, I did.

Monkeys, like bears are quick projects you can make. You don't need patterns to finish this.You just need 2 crochet balls for the head and body, 6 flat rounds and 4 hot dogs for the extremities and VOILA, you're done.

A Rare Occurence?

2010-06-08T01:34:00.000+08:00

This probably isn't nearly as interesting as the title suggest but I just want to share this.My birth date falls on 1, my husband’s is 3, my eldest son’s is 4, my daughter’s is 29. How I wish Baby Jedrick came out on the 2nd of June instead of 1. It could have been a perfect number sequence.

Another rare occurrence is this. My mom’s birthday falls on January 23, 1945. She passed away last Sept. 1, 2000. So its 1-23-45/ 9-1-00.

Monkey Do Wedding

Here comes the monkey bride and groom.

FIRST SEVEN DAYS OF LIFE

2010-06-07T05:13:00.000+08:00

It has been seven days since baby Jedrick was born...
The whole nine months pregnancy experience gave me all kinds of fazes . The hospital experience may have been horrid but there is no greater joy than seeing a new life grow out of you... it makes it all worth whiled.

Black and White

2010-06-07T00:06:00.000+08:00

For me, black and white photos are always powerful and elegant. It bares the subject’s soul in the portrait. Looking at a black and white picture is like looking at the subject's personality and it shows the subjects as they really are.

“One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can't utter.

2010-06-05T23:09:00.001+08:00

A very honest word or thought is sometimes the hardest word to reveal by mouth. Sometimes no matter how much I could feel the need to express it, I become dumbfounded… I hesitate telling the truth if it does not sound good or would rather make each other feel uncomfortable. If things will not turn out as true as it should be, then I should put a little more effort for patience and understanding. Which becomes a little harder to bear as time passes by.

My Third Delivery

2010-06-03T21:59:00.000+08:00

Giving birth to my THIRD child, I learned that each labor experience was totally different. Having had given birth 2 times previously, I know my body functions in a unique way in each pregnancy. My due date was on May 27 but I just had my contractions last June 1 at exactly 6: 30 in the morning. This time, it was unlike the two previous pregnancies (I delivered them a week ahead my due date.) I had painful contractions every 5 to 7 minutes that morning, and didn't get more hours of sleep. I thought the baby would come out in the afternoon and so I didn’t panic and prepared my things “nonchalantly”. I texted my obstetrician informing her of my condition and she replied with this message “admit na”. It was 9:00 a.m. when my husband and I decided to go to the hospital. The contractions were getting severe and intense while I was in the car. My two kids went along and were just quiet to see me suffer in pain. When we reached the emergency room, all the medical staff panicked and rushed me to the delivery room on a stretcher. The chief midwife did an internal to see how far along I was. I was 10 cm dilated ( 10 cm is the peak level)They called my OB in an instant. During my contractions I would close my eyes and breathe deeply and with control, not panting and hyperventilating like you see in the movies and at exactly 10:31 a.m., I gave birth! I was feeling drowsy after my delivery but still can hear the nurses talking. They said they wished all patients were like me, I just gave 3 long pushes and that was it.

Baby Booties For My baby

2010-05-31T00:51:00.000+08:00

While waiting for my new baby to come out, I've been busy preparing his shoes...

I’d like to share with you the three pairs of crochet booties I’ve finished .I’m SO excited to let my new baby wear these ever since I finished them. Their cuteness and coziness is just too much to resist!

Crochet Pouches

I used to make cellphone pouches the previous year and completed a hundred already. Now, I want to create something bigger and more useful.

Monkey See Monkey Doo

2010-05-30T19:55:00.000+08:00

Monkeys are funny looking creatures. They always fascinate people with their queer funny movements. I found this project as the most difficult one to finish since this is a tiny one. Here's my monkey project.

Hello Kitty

2010-05-30T19:40:00.000+08:00

Hello kitty is a fictional character produced by the Japanese company Sanrio.This character is so popular globally and little girls just adore them. I didn't have the chance to own this kind of stuff when I was younger but now i do...hahaha.

Blue Amigurumi Bear

2010-05-30T19:24:00.000+08:00

Amigurumi is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. I am hooked. I decided to try bears first since a lot of people like bears. I made it with a thicker yarn so it would come out bigger. Now, my daughter is happily playing with it and she sleeps with this blue bear.

Summer Vacation Can Cost Less

2010-05-30T18:17:00.000+08:00

I was on my 8^th month of pregnancy when summer vacation started so it meant “stay home and no travel allowed”.

I was then swamped with this question. How can I avoid another summer of disappointment for myself and the kids?

Actually, summer vacations cost so much. I suspect that most people have trouble relaxing for this very reason. They’re fretting about the cost and they're worrying that they won't have enough fun to justify it. Well, I guess staying home would be a good idea then.

Probably the biggest time consumer activity is watching pirated movies, playing games, baking and gardening. But this year, I’ve decided to practice my crocheting skills since I’ve been curious about this hobby. We didn’t have this in high school so I just self-learned this through an old dusty book of my mother-in-law.

No, I am not interested in making lace table cloth, coasters and doilies. I think I don’t have the patience and skills to finish it. And furthermore, I just know some basic crochet stitches. Blankets and the like seem impossible. I always like quick and easy projects…like amigurumi.

Tutorial On Bottle Treasure

2008-05-22T02:04:00.000+08:00

As an artist (kuno! teehee ), creating art while recycling materials has always intrigue me. Like for example ...recycling a bottle! A bottle is a relatively easy material to come by, and it is cheap. Some people look at a bottle and see only what is inside (like soy sauce or ketchup or patis etc...) and use the contents and simply throw the bottle away. But fortunately for us, not all people see the empty bottle as an object to be discarded. For some people, an empty bottle presents itself as an exciting material to re-use for a different purpose. ..there are those who create art with bottles.

To make this project, simply follow these easy and quick steps:
( For this project, I used a cali shandy bottle.)
1. I covered the entire bottle with newspaper strips using glue.
2.I added scrapbook papers /corrugated board around the body.
3.Punched holes for the eyelets. Did a criss-cross lacing pattern and tied a bow at the end.
4.Attached flowers, buttons and colored feathers.
4.Added tags....Done!

Stone Art 2

2008-05-22T01:17:00.000+08:00

I made another Stone Art Project using a bigger stone this time. If you look closely, the photo used has thinner texture. I used the lifting solution to achieve this. Here is the instruction on how to use this solution:
(This technique requires a lot of time though..be patient.)
1.Apply a thin coat of the solution on the photo using a sponge brush with a right to left direction.Let dry.
2.Apply a second film from left to right.Let dry.
3.Apply the next coating from top to bottom.Let dry.
4.Apply the fourth coating from bottom to top.
5.Repeat the process two more times. (Repeat #1 to # 4 twice)
6.If the photo is all dry, submerge the photo in water and slowly remove the thick paper at the back of the photo using your hands.
7.Attach the thin photo onto the stone.Decorate and your done.

New Look

2008-05-20T02:03:00.001+08:00

Usually I wear long gowns to host weddings, but I always like to steer away from the conventional and so this time I chose a cocktail dress that had a style cue from the 60’s. Cocktail dresses are both stylish and chic. I paired this retro ensembles with a silver open toe heel stilettos.
Just for a new look...

The Reason Why I missed Scrapfest 5 ...

2008-05-20T01:54:00.000+08:00

I know that there is nothing that can match the excitement of attending Scrapfest 5 but I missed the opportunity to be part of the event (huhuhu)...i heard the event was tremendously filled with demos on new scrapping techniques (Waaaah!!!)...Anyway, there's still tomorrow ....can't wait till May 2009!!! The reason behind my absence is that because I had to host a wedding reception...too bad the wedding was also on the same date as scrapfest 5.

Stone Art

2008-05-16T19:08:00.000+08:00

I've always love to combine nature and craft. I love to recycle natural materials like shells, dried leaves, stones, twigs, pebbles, moss etc.and create something memorable out of it. Here's an easy project that you can try.
1.Look for a big stone with a flat surface. Wash and let dry.
2.Choose a suitable picture and tear the sides.
3. Attach embellishments around the picture like buttons. Natural materials can be utilized for a realistic look. In this project, I used shells,twigs, flower beads, fish beads, clam and starfish beads and moss.

4. Add some tags or stickers for the finishing touch.

I was tagged...

A Notebook and a Pen

2008-05-16T02:22:00.000+08:00

I always carry a small notebook and a reliable pen with me. I can always find a few minutes to jot down a paragraph or doodle a thing or two or maybe sketch down ideas for a craft project while waiting in line for kids to get out of school, dance practice, boring PTA meetings etc. A page in the notebook here......used photoshop to add color and voila! I think a page a day would be good!..... I call her "Leasha"!

Bloom Tag

2008-05-10T11:00:00.001+08:00

I used watercolor and stamps to create this "Bloom Tag". Added eyelets and bottons...used tearing techniques and added glitter to give it a finishing coat.

Mag Rack

2008-05-07T18:48:00.000+08:00

I work in a somewhat organized disorder (or is that disordered organization? ). I have a system to keep my materials under control and make sure I always keep my tools and embellishments in a box or tray. But what doesn’t seem to be working, however, is my system for storing scraps stash and papers and so I thought of buying a magazine rack to keep them. I decorated these racks cause I felt they looked somewhat "naked"...it needed some accessories. Then, I’ve started to “scrap bust” !...and here are the happy results of this initial endeavor.

Trash or Treasure

2008-05-07T18:25:00.000+08:00

This old bag has served me well throughout the years, but eventually it's days are numbered and now it's doing nothing more than gathering dust until the end of time.
But I thought perhaps there is still something I could do with it. And why not? I like DIY stuff that's why I decided to create this altered bag.

Kaya Challenge Entry

Dear Jannica,

When you were younger, sometimes I would look at you , my heart was always filled with love seeing how you have grown. Your lovely smile brightened up my days and your bedtime hugs and kisses melted my heart. Whether you were dancing on stage, playing your violin. I looked at you in amazEment. You were such a loving child, so sweet, caring and funnY. I was so proud of the person you were becoming and the strength yOu have shown at such a young age. I can't imagine my life withoUt YOU. Now, that you are 18....your life will be more exciting in many ways. It is the period of transition from girl to woman. It is a time to obtain education and develop your personality. It is the stage in life when you begin to think of a host of future life-defining decisions and events. However, it does make the point that when you are 18, you should be actively pursuing goals, events and decisions ahead of you. The most important is committing to God’s way of life. My advise to you is to take time to prove HIS ways—and live it for the rest of your life! I love you. -Mama

The Bible Bearer

2008-04-07T10:06:00.000+08:00

Jadrian was chosen to be the bible bearer in our cousin's garden wedding. After sitting on his chair for about a few minutes, he felt kind of bored listening to the ceremony and so he grabbed his bible and read it. I don't know if he understood what he was reading...he knows how to read though...

My daughter was so unwilling to cooperate with me for a shot. She was so movable. But I managed to get a shot of her...and so this was the result.

I made this bulletin for the Zamboanga Chong Hua High School Alumni Homecoming ( Silver Jubilarians Batch 82 ). It took me three whole nights to do this.

Example , an animal doctor had a small toy dog attached on his LO and a physician had an RX alpha chip attached on his LO..

I made this altered item this morning to meet the deadline of Arts de Scrap Challenge # 4. The March contest challenges you to alter and personalise a pocket as your Family's Communication Pocket where you can leave letters or notes for your family members. Due to the overwhelming response of interested challengers, pocket giveaways were all taken up. The supply ran out... so I decided to use slippers instead.

I decorated it with scrap materials :prima floral embellishments, provocraft alpha stickers /quote stickers, provocraft tags, assorted buttons, wooden rod, cord...and here is the result...

Mermaid Princess

The little mermaid sat and dreamed Of a life with her prince above. She wanted to dance with him. She would give up anything for love.

She agreed to deformity, Giving up her sleek graceful tail. Her very life would be forfeit If in this great quest she should fail.

Mermen must have been much more true For her to agree to such a plan. She gambled everything and failed. She was NOT CHERISHED by her man.

My Precious Little Sister

The little mermaid sat and dreamed
Of a life with her prince above.
She wanted to dance with him.
She would give up anything for love.

She agreed to deformity,
Giving up her sleek graceful tail.
Her very life would be forfeit
If in this great quest she should fail.

Mermen must have been much more true
For her to agree to such a plan.
She gambled everything and failed.
She was NOT CHERISHED by her man.
