Home, Sweet Home - NEW DESIGN


I have a new design up:) "Home, Sweet Home" - measuring 11.3" high x 20" wide. It was inspired by a beautiful cat i saw at the petshop the other day. She had the most adoring, mesmerising clear blue eyes and I had to seriously fight the urge to take her home.

The colour shown in the picture is Black.

This design is now available at the Etsy Store and our webstore. Here are the direct links: Etsy Store and Website.

Our Website's Back Up and The Doofbags


One Saturday evening, i spotted some buzzing activity around the shoplots near my home. So i rounded up my clan (more like dragged my hubby and son) and decided to go check it out.

It was a charity drive with some vendors giving 100% of their sales to the charity of their choice. Some gave their proceeds to Breast Cancer Awareness, the RSPCA and a whole lot more. OK...I have to admit I'm bad with the details but one of the vendors really stuck in my head...Doof Industries.

They had huge...and i mean humongous...beanbags for sale..and in to-die-for colours! Even the labels were so BIG they stole the attention the beanbags were getting. With names like Chuck and Roxanne, who could resist not jumping and sinking into one of them:)

100% water/drool resistant (what more could mummy ask for...) with an inner lining for the beans so that you can take all the beans out at one go when you want to wash the beanbag..(well, mummy could ask for that too:)


Best part is, you can rent the bags when you are having a chilled out do and need more laurel-resting locations. Spoke to hubby about this and he's all in for a BBQ... soon:)

They ship internationally and even provide free shipping in the Klang Valley. For international customers, they've got Paypal.

Check them out on Facebook and Twitter!

Lollilines Revamp Update


Hello, my lovelies...I've recently updated our lollilines decal set. The decals now come in a default arrangement for easy installation. And if you don't fancy the default arrangement, you can still separate the lollilines to individualise your space:)

We welcome any constructive feedback you guys might have on how to improve our products. So, don't be shy...let us know and we'll work to make our decals better for you. Till next time!

Evangelione's little world...





Ooohh...Aren't these the most darling miniatures? Love how much detail goes into her work. Miniatures make great wall decorations framed up. Probably the best way to protect them from collecting dust unless you're planning to collect enough to fill a whole display cabinet. The suitcase necklace is vintage neat too, doncha think?...doesn't hurt that she's from Malaysia:)


The artist: Tako aka Evangelione

It's 6am and I'm awake...

Toilet training my 2 and a half year old boy has been a breeze... during the day anyways...we've successfully taken him off his diapers with very few accidents...and he prompts us when he needs to go to the loo:)

It's the night that hurts me the most...why i say hurt? Because it's the bed or my precious lounging couch that GETS IT. The bed...we're planning to change to a bigger one (once he's toilet trained nights anyways) but the couch! the couch! I chose everything from the sponge, to the covers material and as i mentioned before, it's precious...

I can wash everything...but what do i do with the sponge (or mattressy bit). Sun it on the driveway floor? Sigh...i guess this is all part of having kids...make sure you don't have perishable (and i don't mean the edible kind) or precious things lying around... else they WILL perish...haha!:)

Like I said, it's 6am (well, 7am now) and I've been working on a top secret project:) If it ever gets up to standard, I might showcase it and might even put some stuff up for sale. For now though, it's an obsession i need to get out of my system. I thank all the patient and loving husbands for letting their wives go a bit mad the obsessive way:)

An hour or so more to go...and i'll get to see the smiles on both my angel's faces.. Good Morning, World!
