A Homemaker’s Diary

Do you wonder why some times when you wake up you just seem to be draining off your energy? No matter how many hours you sleep it seems not enough and you wish you just could sleep some more.

Maybe I’m having one of the depressing day, I don’t know. Just hope this feeling will go away soon.

For once I thought I might need this for our home. Of course not for me, but the idea of having all my scissors stuck on the pegboard would be a lovely idea to start with. And my pliers for my craft work would be there every time I need to catch for one..haha!

I’m thinking it would be good for our household. At least every time I need to use the hammer or the screwdrivers I know where to look at for. And Hubby wouldn’t have to blame me when he lost his test pen (which will still be lost if I do not put it back on its right place..haha!)

I have problem with organizing things so maybe this is the right solution. Or maybe I just love spending time looking for things which in time become very annoying and frustrating. This metal pegboard will never rust, rot, corrode or degrade (which is really good for a climate like our country – hot and humid all year long, even I could corrode with the weather sometime..huhu!)

They have like heavy duty brushed aluminum commercial grade metal pegboard, diamond plate aluminum pegboard and galvanized steel pegboard. I think I’ll go with the diamond plate though it’s little bit more expensive compared to the other two..haha!

Oh, but the one in the above picture is a complete kit of formed edge metal pegboard.

I will let Hubby knows about this metal pegboard, in case he thinks that we (huhu..or I) really need one. Check it out at carguygarage.com.

I have been having a great weekend by my standard. Starting from Friday night, we went out to watch Harry Potter. It took us about 2 hours hanging around aimlessly at the mall waiting for the show time. Not even Starbucks was open on the Ground floor so we have no choice but to check out the arcade and a cybercafe on the same floor as the cinema.

So here is the picture on what I snapped that night to fill up my rather boring hours..hehe!

I spend or rather wasted RM10 trying the games and what I got were these Chupa Chups..huhu..but Hubby said I was lucky to get 3 for RM0.50..haha! Maybe I was not really meant to excel in any games even arcade game..huhu!

Then on Saturday, we went out to get all other things I need and fortunately enough for me I got all that I wanted..the crafts supply for the client’s guest favors order, frames for my scrapbooking project at IKEA and stuffs for DSLR – cleaning kit for Hubby, a new backpack for the camera and a close up filter for me. Next on my want list will be a macro lens worth RM1340…I want that to take the picture of the ants on my flower..haha!

Who said having hobbies are cheap? huh! But still without hobbies, what could we do all day, right?

I have a lot more pictures to share in days to come but I’m not sure whether I have the time to update this blog as much as I would love to. The coming weekend I will be going to Pangkor and hopefully my trip there will be fun but for sure tiring…haha! And the laundry after coming back..huhu! Good thing we have fully automatic washing machine.

Have a great day ahead, people! Work hard and play hard too, OK! wink!

I love jewelry especially one that I can make for myself. I am such a fussy person so it is much easier to handcraft a bracelet according to my taste. Plus the one sold in store usually too long for my wrist size and in the end I have to ask the store owner to adjust the length.

Last year I had such a craze about Swarovski crystals that I bought quite a lot (mostly on eBay), along with all the necessary items to make my own bracelets. After making like 6 bracelets the craze went cool and now I still have some crystals leftover in my craft drawer..hehe!

But don’t worry I have new projects in mind to do with those crystals – to turn into handphone chain and bookmark decoration (once I have free time from doing my client’s order next month..huhu!) and give them away to family and friends.

I love earring too but sadly I can’t wear one. Something went wrong when I first got pierced when I was a little girl and now everytime I wear earring I have some kind of allergy reaction, be it gold or otherwise.

So there goes my chance to have all kind of dangling and fancy earring. I’m left with bracelet and necklace to embellish myself..haha!

I personally like this pink creation by Lori. She sell her handcrafted pieces at Etsy. Please have a look at her store – LoriJaclynsJewels. I resized the above picture to fit this entry but if you want to see a bigger picture at her store, take a look here – Pink Delight.

Way to go to all handcraft jewelers out there! Sometimes it’s the satisfaction on the wearer’s face that bring such a joy to those hands that made the pieces.
