Reflections of the day

(Thanks hubby for this photo!)

Today is about to end but there are some things that I would like to reflect on.

1. The God I serve is really a Great God. He is awesome beyond words and I have experienced firsthand that He will not shortchange His children who obeys Him. For in Luke 6:8 it says, "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you."

2. I really enjoyed my day, especially breakfast with Rekha, Nadiah and Bremen and Alison visiting and even Melissa who brought me Nescafe! :) Thank you God for your goodness in placing these nice souls in my life. 

3. Someone stole one of my journals... right from under my nose. You will be judged by God (I don't care which god you worship, you will be judged nonetheless. Just remember that). It really upsets me cos I really put a lot of effort, love and time into creating each journal.

4. Penny, my precious kitten, is sick. We came back to puke and diarrhea on the living room floor. My heart breaks to see her unwell. I pray that God will give her rest and heal her and not let her suffer.

Thank You!

A really sweet friend of mine searched high and low for a sheep image to use for my Logo and requested another friend to make these sweet badges for me! Oh, I am so blessed! Thank you Lord for the people you put around me :)

I pinned one of the badges on my purple pouch where I put all my threads and needles in for sewing my books and I'm so loving it there! Am going to wear the other one when I go for craft markets! :)

Thank you, dearie! You know who you are! :D

Sewing Journals

Here's a little peek at my tiny work table and the stack of journals that I need to sew :) I try to sew more when I can because the process of bookbinding is not something that can be done in an hour. It takes time to fold the paper, cut the holes, then sew the signatures together, make the covers, add elastic band (or leather cord, etc) and glue the whole thing together... Then the journal needs to be kept under heavy weight to make sure they glue/bond well together before I can take it out and show it to the world.

I love working on this tiny table because it's the only place where I can watch tv when I work. I sit on the floor and sew or fold the papers. If I wanna make cards, it's easier to do that on my craft table in another room. Sometimes I get backache and numb legs from sitting on the floor too long. I have to remind myself to get up and walk around for a while to relax my muscles... :) 

But I enjoy making handmade stuffs :) I cannot explain it, I just like it :)

Of Handmade Soaps

My friend, Melissa sent me a link a couple of days ago to Indochine's Natural Handmade Soap. She bought a bar when she went back to Penang and the kind people at Indochine told her, all her friends can get a free bar too if they register on their website.

Well, I have always loved handmade stuff and have been using Michelle's handmade soap for a couple of months now. And now, I'm given a chance to try more handmade soap! Why not? :D

I'm a very happy girl when the Pos Laju guy rang my doorbell :) He was holding a small package. I forgot I registered on Indochine's website. So I asked him what it was and he said he didn't know.. haha...

I love their packaging! It's so pretty, right? And looks contemporary Oriental too :) I was like a little girl given a candy whenever I'm given a package! Can't seem to wait to rip off the wrapper on the package!

The smell is very refreshing and I can't wait to use it! For now, I'm just enjoying the packaging! :P
