A Homemaker’s Diary

For those who know me on FB, you will notice that I keep on posting pictures of my roses almost daily now..hehe! Well, the truth is somehow my fertilizing method and foliar spray effort after the deadheading and massive pruning for the last 2 months did work very great in producing many blooms.

This was taken a few days ago after a heavy rain. Nice, right? The raindrop on the sweet pink petals..the thing with roses, you have to snap the picture on the day it starts to bloom, otherwise once it has overbloom you won’t get to see all the nice and curvy petals it has (sound like slim girl turning into fat aunty, huh?)

Will share more pictures of my roses later..happy Wednesday, people!

Untuk yang masih mencari tempat untuk belajar seni decoupage, kelas seterusnya akan diadakan pada 10 November 2012, hari Sabtu jam 3 hingga 5:30 petang bertempat di Puchong.

Gambar hasil decoupage di atas di buat di atas papan pemotong plastik (chopping board). Motif tisu yang digunakan terdiri dari gambar buah-buahan dan sayuran. Hasil decoupage seperti ini sangat sesuai utk yang gemarkan seni menghias dapur.

Peserta kelas akan diajar asas mewarna permukaan, menggunting dan menampal tisu, teknik shading, menekap tulisan dan mewarna tulisan di atas medium decoupage. Setelah semuanya siap, pinggan atau frame kayu akan divarnish.

Yuran untuk kelas asas ini sangat berpatutan, hanya RM60. Medium decoupage yang digunakan untuk kelas adalah dari jenama Jo Sonja, Americana dan Plaid. Kelas komersial di luar selalunya mengenakan caj dari RM200 ke atas.

Jika berminat untuk menyertai kelas ini, anda boleh hubungi saya menerusi email farah[at]bungatelur.com atau sms ke 012 6482121.

I know it’s been a while since I last updated something personal on this blog. I tried not to write personal stuffs on this blog since I don’t feel comfortable sharing as much as before..I guess age is catching up and I get more paranoid with a lot of things these days.

This picture of peach rose was taken on Saturday. It was not raining when I managed to snap the picture. Otherwise it has been raining for the past few days in the afternoon that made it impossible for me to go out and smell the roses..haha!

The good thing with raining almost daily is that I don’t have to worry about watering my plants (except a few in the hidden area where they don’t get soaked from the heavy rain). But the bad news is roses are susceptible to disease when they get too much water and moist. They actually thrive well in a direct 5-6 hours of sunlight.

Anyway, since I am currently busy completing orders for bunga telur and custom made decoupage, I have to worry less about those roses in the garden..heh! I hope by the end of February when I am done with all the orders (provided there’s no new order accepted in the meantime) I will get the chance to do my daily gardening again.

Happy Monday, people! Be awesome no matter what you do 🙂

Early this year, my husband told me about Pinterest. I was not really interested at first until recently I found a few boards that share inspiring quotes.

I used to collect and write down all these great quotes when I was a teenager. Back in those years when people still celebrate friend’s birthday, we used to buy Hallmark greeting cards. They have very lovely design and great wordings to reflect the occasion and how special a person is to you.

I feel that as we grow old and keep ourselves busy with daily life, we no longer pay attention to small details like that..anyway, here are some of the wonderful quotes I have saved.

May you have a great weekend ahead!
