andrew & sheryl: August 2009

i've been trying to experiment more, but i've found that sewing with weaved cloth is pretty challenging; the fabric tends to unravel itself much to my dismay. so last night in a paranoid move, i sewed down all the corners of my cloth before proceeding with the sewing of my double-lined (new) pencil case (: honestly i'm really chuffed how it turned out tho. the colour is a pretty shade of pink. the notebook was an experiment too. mom passed me her handbag buckle. the bag gave way but the clasp was still in good condition; pretty rhinestones all intact. all i did was add a vintage enamel flower and swarovski crystal.

i've also took the plunge and started an etsy shop. really hope it'd work out. its like my creative outlet, i tend to make things in excess and well, i cant keep giving them all to andrew or my family. haha. andrew already says he has a boxful of things from me. things he doesn't know what to do with. random small scrapbooks, notebooks (those i guess he has more of a chance to use now that he's started uni), picture frames, pouches...so yes. etsy it is.

i've also technically graduated. waiting final results from Murdoch before God-willing going for graduation ceremony in September. i'm really excited about the trip to Perth. its my birth place and the last time i went there was 10 whole years ago. san was joking we'd only go there every decade. haha. the last time sherwin went he was a baby! goodness.

in other news, i've found a row of dead pixels on quincy. its quite disturbing because i only got her in march this year. i've been dragging my feet but i think i'll call up courts tomorrow to see what they can do about it. my mobile has also been on the frizz. the lcd is all out of whack and weird saturations of pink and blue permeate the screen. on the bright side, this gives me all the more reason to get a new phone! only problem is which one. i've had my palm pre hopes dashed by several reviews. the technology is good and all but the casing construct and all doesn't seem too good. bah. so i'm leaning towards the iPhone again. except its exclusive to singtel and i'm starhub. andrew suggested the htc touch pro. i'm probably going to look into it.

andrew's been real busy with school and his fitness instructor (fic) tests. i miss being able to meet him multiple times during the week. now weekends and evenings are not taken for granted.

been trying to come up with a list of crafty things to do as well. i promised to blog more but i seem to have little to talk about which is slightly disconcerting because i feel like quite a bum now. :|

anyhoo, shall go catch up on google reader. more soon! (:

ttyl.
