I simply love the idea of being able to make something practical and beautiful! This morning, i made a set of ear rings and bracelet called 'unending love' just before mass. And wore them to church! This idea was something that popped out of my mind when i woke up this morning! Anyway, here's a small selection...just for fun! However, if you are interested to help out with my fund raising effort, these are available for a small donation.

the Joy of baking!
My latest venture into the 'unknown' is baking. Who would have guessed?
Lately I have been watching Martha Stewart on TV. I'm amazed at the talented personnel she has on her staff roll. And I appreciate all the people who love what they do and do what they love for a living! Whenever I wanted
Youth ministry!
A picture speaks a thousand words! We just recently started a new series of teachings : Be all you can be! based on a book written by John Maxwell, that i have been reading and still being very inspired by. Thanks Audrey for the gift of the book!
Creative things!
Part of my time is spent on creatively using limited resources to create things for birthdays, festive meals, welcome cards etc.
Here's my first foray into 'Quilling'. Its been hiding from me all these years! Its so easy! This is absolutely the first thing that came out from twirling small strips of paper around a paper clip (i didnt have the quilling tool). And they turned out so delightful! I dont know what i will do with them yet, but i'm thinking of door notices, cards etc. It can also be made into script (like calligraphy) but mine didnt turn out so nice. I'm excited!
Making a new lampshade!
The life of a missionary is not confined to just going for outreaches and preaching.Recently, I was energised and determined to use my energy to explore new ideas and practical ways to improve things around the house. (since i'm also the house manager) And we have a big mission centre!
This lampshade has been in disrepair (see left). No one knew how to repair a broken lampshade. While researching for something else, i chanced upon this 'lampshade slip cover'. And see what a transformation!
All that was needed:
Paper
twine
cutting materials and board
single hole puncher
And here's the 'new' lamp in its old place.
