Cut cut cut!

I'm unwilling to visit the barber just for hair trimming once in a few months and pay the full amount similar to cutting your whole head. It's not worth, especially for me, who only thin my hair and trim my fringe, no one would notice whether I cut or not, it just look tidier that's all. So I suddenly had this idea of cutting it myself. All I need is a pair of thinning shears for thinning, and a pair of scissors for trimming!

So I got myself a pair of thinning shears.

The me before I start my trimming.

After thinning my hair, but left my fringe untouched.

Fringe trimmed.

So, any difference? Hahahaha. I wasn't daring enough to trim too much. But at least I do think it looks tidier, not from the photo, but from real experience within these few days after I trimmed my hair, I can see it tidier especially when I just wake up from sleep or after bath.

By the way, this is not my first time trimming my own fringe. Hahaha. I did that a few times during my middle school. Trimming fringe isn't really hard. But this is my first time using the thinning shears! It wasn't as easy as I thought! Anyway, practice makes perfect. Muahahahaha, what spirit! But this doesn't mean I won't be visiting the barber anymore, it just mean that I won't be visiting the barber as much. Lalala...

Bear Family

I'm suppose to blog this long ago, but nevermind~ it's better than not blogging. I kept remind monkey to take photo of our DIY bears that he bought for me from Sabah, but after he took the photo, it took me so long to blog it. ><

Our DIY Bear Family~ Not just the blogging took so long, actually I only started making these bears after one year monkey bought it. Haha~

I made clothes for them too~ I did not follow the default clothes pattern given, instead I made my own.

And I made this totoro too! >< I drew the pattern myself. So proud of myself, muahahaha~

"Say Cheeseee~" *snap!*

Knitting Tools

I tried knitting a handphone case about half months ago, and it's my first try. I learned knitting through the internet. But something that bothers me is I do not have the knitting tools. Knitting tools needed are:

Large Knitting Needles

Plastic Needles

and of course, Yarn.

I bought the yarn, but where can I find the knitting needles? I totally have no idea where to find it in Kuching, and I think it's a waste to buy something which only used once.

So instead of using the Large Knitting Needles, I used chopsticks:

And instead of using Plastic Needles, I used hairpin. Yes, hairpin.

This is how you should use your hairpin:

Pass the yarn through the hole of the pin, use the pin like a needle.

Hopefully this helps some of those who are worrying about what to use for knitting. =)

Cherry's 19th

26th October was Cherry's 19th birthday, and I made a "cake" for her~ Yum yum~

Want to try a few bites?

I put it into a cake box which I asked from the bakery and gave it to Cherry. She really thought it's a cake! >< I asked her to put it into the fridge and she really did!

@Cherry, happy belated one year birthday present~

Failure

I like making handcrafts, but always end up failing. *sad* I guess I just didn't put much effort in it.

This is a phone strip I made from paper clay, a kind of clay that will turn hard when it dry. It was supposed to be a belated birthday gift for my friend, but it's a failure.. Why?

1st reason:

It looks so ugly after I colored it. *cry cry*

2nd reason:

It won't stick!! See how the head and body was separated? That's so cruel! T__T

See this hole under the head? I thought it would stick better with a stick piercing through it like a fishball, but it still won't stick!!

Actually I made a big one for monkey too, but I guess it's a failure too.. *sobs* I was thinking of gluing it with superglue.. hopefully it works. But I'm unsure if I'm giving this away to my friend. It's a failure!
