On Video Making

I've never been good with computers. I'm grateful that I'm blessed with a creative mind & hands but sadly, they're just no good when it comes to the techie stuff. 

And in the X years of my life I've yet to explore how to make a video presentation!

I guess it's never too late to start now, is it?

So here's a short video clip that I made... It's just a very simple one, nothing fancy really.

I'll explore more and hopefully learn the tricks to creating awesome videos for presentation!

For now here's a 20 seconds video from me... Enjoy!

How about some Bottle Caps?

It's been weeks since the creative moxie paid me a visit...

But since I've been sick with my 2 kulilits - we've been suffering from phlegm, coughs and asthma which started when we got back from abroad, I wasn't able to do anything but see to it that the 2 kulilits feel comfortable as much as possible while I try to squeeze in rest for my body every chance I get. 

Today since the antibiotics looks like they're doing a great job at releasing the phlegm out of the body, the kids are starting to feel better -- I was able to work in my craft room for a good 5-10 minutes! 

Finally I was able to play with my caps! 

So here's what I was able to accomplish...

A giant paper clip

and... 

a pair of hair clips

I'll have them listed in my FB and IG account. In case you're interested to order, the image can be changed to your photo or logo by the way, just let me know by sending me a message.

{Sample} Baby in Blanket

I made a female version of my Baby in Blanket...

I'm thinking of changing / adding variation to the head part -- instead of the 3-4 strands of hair... 

I'll try to make another sample on my next vacant time.

For souvenirs like this should you wish to have the celebrant's name added, if its just a 3-4 letter name, we can opt to attach it at the back of the baby's blanket like this,

Or we can still place it on a name plate and attach it with the baby.

What do you think?

Photo-a-Day

photo by Fat Mum Slim

I used to join Fat Mum Slim's photo-a-day challenge but was never really successful.
I guess I got tired of it because I post the pictures I took on several different platforms. I attempted to post it in my personal, even my craft, blog but it doesn't seem to go with the theme; not to mention the fact that I wanted to see the photos posted as close to each other like a daily basis kind of thing (you get what I mean?). 

And since I couldn't really decide which platform to use, I failed. 

But in that short amount of time Photo a Day has brought me so much fun...

the challenge kept me motivated to learn how to take really cool photos and to not stop cos there's a prompt everyday! In short, it pushed me to do well in photography too!

May prompt

So I'm going to try to do it again... and this time I decided to put it on a separate blog, hence the revival of my old Tumblr account! I think Tumblr is going to be the perfect platform for this so I'm putting it up again just for this particular project. Now if you do have a tumblr account, do follow and see my interpretation of the challenge, will you? 

Also, in case I've driven you out of curiosity and would like to join, head on to Fat Mum Slim's site where the complete guidelines is posted. Let me know where you'll post your photos should you decide to join, okay?

Come visit my Tumblr account and start seeing the world through my eyes.

PS: Since it's already mid-May, I'm gonna have to start next month instead. See you then!

The Hubby Shots

As the title states, these are photos taken not by me but the Mister.

Just like me, he's also into photography -- not taking any formal lesson,  more of a shoot away (trial & error) kind of learning. 

The following are some of the unedited photos he took during his travels and some important occasions. Posted a few of them here cos I fell in love with the shot.

Aren't they beautiful? Some may be a bit blurry but for someone who's a newbie at photography and who previously never really had any interest to it, I'd say he's doing a great job!
