Blue mountain anyone?

I am back from my holiday with the dumbos! (Fel and June i mean)
Feel great to be back home hugging my husband and XX after my 6Days tour.

Now i know i can't really enjoy myself without them by my side.

Trip with Fel and June was great.
Shopping. Food. Shopping. Everyday!

I hope that i can make some effort to post the pics. (Then my in-law might ask me why i didn't post theirs. SO.. ... hmm.. .. Let see. hahaha)

What a motivating moment!

Gardening time again!

I have started my second round of gardening, despite the first round of gardening was a total failure :(

The causes for the failure of the 1st round of gardening:

1. As i stay at the most southern part of taiwan, wind chill is my weekly visitor (Typhoon will visit me 3-4 times a year). So i decided to plant my veg indoor (using long shape pots). But my plants did not manage to get sufficient sunlight for their growth.
2. I didn't press the soil well enough before i place in my seeds, it causes the soil to fly all around the room.
3. I didn't place my seeds in order (You got to use a tool, or a finger to create holes at the compact soil. So that the plant or veg will grow in an orderly manner. This is also to ensure that all veg have the same amount of water, nutrients and growing space)
4. The pots are too small so all of them topple. (Yes! even a yard long pot was being topple by the wind)
5. I went taipei for a 5 days holiday, without watering my plants and it all died :(

So this time round, I have ensure that i have no long holidays ahead and the seeds are properly planted! I have replace my pots to styrofoam box, so that it is heavy enough to withstand the strong wind chill. And now i can place them at the balcony!

Wish me good luck! :D

Tutorial: Your truly 2min needle jar

You do not need to worry that you will see your needles lying on your craft tables! Not anymore!As it looks so awfully good in the glass jar and it makes absolute decoration on the table.

But wait, why is there a need to place your needles in the glass jar?
1. Stay out of reach for children and pets.
2. Protect the needles.
3. A reminder for you to put all your needles in the jar after your project. (Normally you give a nasty look at all the small pieces of leftover fabrics ... and you will clean them up.. so eventually you will clean your entire craft table after crafting! haha! *I assume you're like me)

Materials:
1. Any jar. Preferably a small and tall jar.
2. Unused yarn

1. Coil the yarn around your fingers.

2. Estimate the amount of yarn that is needed to fill the jar.

3. Tie around the loose yarn that you have coiled.

4. Now stuff them into the jar.

5. Completed! You have just completed your needle jar, and now it is now ready to be used!

Here comes to the end of my first tutorial.

Hope you enjoy reading it!
