Upcoming Wedding and Christmas Wish List

Hello pixies!

It's December and it's almost Christmas!

What are the things (material or non-material) listed on your wish list? Honestly, I really don't have a Christmas wishlist but it will be nice if I will receive this cute owl mug I saw while browsing for stuffs with owl theme on it. You probably don't know but I have this little obsession with owls (and foxes actually). So when I do window shopping  and saw something about owls, I can't help but stop and admire it. It's a good thing that I'm not an impulsive shopper or I would probably be penniless all the time.

Anyway, I only have simple wishes this Christmas, good health for me and my family, peace on earth (I promise this might be a cliche but this is something we truly need), for my online business to improve more, and for more "event planning gigs to come."

Since I already mentioned event planning, I'll jump on the next topic of my post for the day. I have a college friend who's getting married this coming 27th. She's one of my closest friend and I'm glad that I am a part of the group who's going to coordinate on her wedding day. I'm proud to say that I have a huge part in the decorations for the reception because that's what I love doing. I love being crafty and artsy and it's the perfect task for me.

I'll probably post a video or photos of the event on this blog so I can at least document it online. I'm pretty excited and nervous as this will be my first time assisting in a wedding. It's also fortunate that the other people who's assisting on the wedding are my college friends as well. However, just to set the record straight, I'm not the head coordinator on this one as I'm a newbie when it comes to wedding planning... I'm just happy that I'm part of this experience.

Well, wish me and my friends luck, that this wedding and reception will run as smooth as we ever wanted.
May the odds be ever in our favor! Yeah. I'm a fan of the Hunger Games series. :)

Swish and flick!

It's Fab Feb

Manila weather is slightly shifting from super cold to super hot. This means that summer is fast approaching. I don't have any summer vacation plans so I've been thinking of things to do to occupy my time. Anyway enough about summer, let me share what I did last weekend.  I spent most of my time bonding with my niece. I haven't seen her since last Christmas and I missed her so much. I taught her how to play chess and we also played game apps from my phone and tablet.

So the month of February started few days ago, and at the beginning of the month I wrote an article about Gifts for Men. I discovered a lot of items that I myself wanted. I'm not a guy but there are some items I mentioned there that can be given to ladies like me as well especially if you're into games, books, and gadgets. For those who want to have ideas on what to give on cupid's favorite day, head over to my hubpage account linked at the sidebar.

Alright, if you've read my other posts, you'll know that I'm fond of amigurumi nowadays. My first attempt was a success and so I continued doing so. I made some revisions on the bunny pattern to make a bear ears instead of bunny ears and I'm proud of its outcome.

These two are of the size of a key chain or key charm which I'll be giving as gifts for friends. However I didn't put any hook because these will be used as doll props. I decided to start selling these kinds of amigurumi in my etsy shop so if you're interested, watch out for it.

I also searched for crochet free patterns for amigurumi projects and found an easy owl pattern for beginners like me.

Since I don't have a yellow felt cloth available in my craft kit, I used a crochet thread to make the beak part instead. I'm happy that it turned out okay and it still looks like an owl.

Have a great day! May the odds be ever in your favor!
