Keane you believe it!

I know the title is a bit corny but I cannot believe it! Keane is hitting Dubai on 8th July at Madinat Jumeirah and in luck, I am home by 6th July! I hope me and my husband won't miss their gig. It's not going to be big as the Coldplay concert though, but, this time both of us are fans. *blush.

My Preschooler: that first project

He showed me his first bring-home project called "Maiz con Yelo". He was smiling and happy to give it to me. I thought it was sweet. I wouldn't even know if he'd actually made it himself or if his teacher helped him do it, because he would only give me a "no no" and a smile if I'd ask him what stuff they did at school.

handsewn iPod case

I'm soooo happy! I am more than satisfied with the result. This is my first dare to make something out from my awesome fabrics. Please I just had to start already!

With no pattern or sample in hand, I only had to take advantage of my imagination. Using a BeeSquare fabric and from my cut-off shorts left over, a recycled velcro from my mom's bag (thanks momi and sorry!). I promise to do more, and make them perfect handsewn. 

I'm especially loving the airplane prints, it suits well for my little iPod addict.

That smile

...could melt hearts. My all-smiles champ just turned 8months old last Friday. He loves the outdoors more than his brother does and when outside, he'd put up the serious face. He mostly enjoys his walker trips and gets excited when the electric fan's turned on. Such a silly thing, but I guess happiness can pop up just about anywhere.

Taken during the sunday mass, happy to be out with the family and to say hi to God. This smile is from an old soul, an angel, my baby. Well what do you know, he looks like he's on a plane heading to Dubai :)

mixing bracelets

I am very particular with bracelets. It's the first thing I notice when somebody walks in the room if she's ever wearing one. Like any other fashionable item I wear, it has to depend on the mood I'm in: lazy or lucky or sunny. 

I love to combine and mix bracelets. This three bracelet combination is on top of my list these days. I think it's a refined, laid back hippie mood. The blue marble one (is actually a necklace which I had to fix and replace the hook using only a nipper!) and the vintage bangle were from my Momsie's (my grandmother) treasure box. The third one which has a lovely mix of charms and beads I got from Monsoon, Accessorize one of my favourite shops in Dubai.

My Preschooler: Day 4

I spent most of the waiting time with my iPod and a book. But today, I met a pretty baby girl named Patricia, 2.3yo and is as heavy as my boy. She was waiting for her mom to pick her up and had all the playground by herself. So I decided to play with her. She doesn't talk yet, you can't pin out a single word out of her made up sentences. But she hummed a song and I hummed along. She was pleased that I can "imitate" her singing. We had a good laugh. 

Nice meeting you Patricia, see you tomorrow!

BEEhold! they're here!

Whoot! My Bee Square fabrics are here and  I'm so so so smiling with delight! They smell good and they're shouting for a baby bootie or a pillow case or even a little girl's dress. I can stare at them whole day... 

Thanks for my freebie Diane, you didn't have to. But... uh... I'm glad you did. I am so thrilled to have the airplanes for free :)
