listening : Zee Avi - on repeat. not forgetting the bickering of my children, also, on repeat.
eating : everything. I seem to be permanently hungry these few days. So gonna pay for this episode of gluttony.
drinking : lots. mostly isotonics. 100℉ here. I'm wilting.
craving : anything Starbucks. 6 weeks since my last. weird thing is I only crave it when I'm at home. I go out and actually see a Starbucks in front of my eyes and I don't really feel like drinking.
wearing : right now? shorts and t-shirt. *and still sweaty*
feeling : all out of sorts. angry, sad. . . but also calm and happy.
weather : i repeat, 100℉ at least.
wanting : to make something beautiful and also to blog more frequently.
needing : a good kick in the butt. Ha!
wondering : where is my Studio Calico box? I hope it comes soon!
- I made this layout for the Scrap Recipe challenge on Studio Calico blog over the NSD weekend. I'm sorry I didn't get to post it here while the challenge was in progress.
- This is my recipe : let me know if you play along, I would love to have a look see! :)
- at least two colors of cardstock *excluding white and black*
- hand stitching
- 3 buttons/epoxy shape
- 3 brads
- usage of a punch - any shape.
Project 365 update or in other words - hear her rambles. LOL.

Goodnight world. I rarely stay up. I'm old, y'all. I get headaches if I cut down on my sleep. :P And oh, this is considered quite late, okay? LOL.

2nd day of the ceremony. We sent her to the Husband's side.

Nidhi and her best friend. LOL. She's actually my cousin, and during the course of the weekend, they became best friends. How? Why? I have no idea. Haha!
123/365
Kitchen sink cookies in progress. They were awesome, even though I managed to leave out granulated sugar from the recipe. Still quite sweet though, so maybe next time I won't even bother with the sugar.

Miss Nat!! I didn't get to meet her the day before so I sent her off at the airport instead! :) We had coffee, like we always wanted. . then she and her husband boarded the plane to Frankfurt. What a fabulously sweet girl.. I can't wait for her next trip here!

Had to document this. We rarely have McD for breakfast. Went to the drive-through before dropping the girls to school :) Good day. Good day.

Daiso! Everything is $2 - always! LOL.

My first run for the year :) Nike Goddess 5k. Nice t-shirt, but holy cow.. it was HOT! Not proud of my timing, but hey.. my target was to finish without crawling. LOL.

Old Changi Hospital. Haunted? I don't know. Lots of stories going around. We drove by to show the area to the kids after lunch on Mother's Day. Yes, we're funny like that. We prefer haunted old buildings over a simple picnic by the beach or anything like that.

Nidhi's iced lemon tea. Ahhhhh!

Starting a new project. Lizzie Kate, again.

So I love the LO but I really love the photos. The food ones get me the most! It all looks sooooo yum. Makes me want to visit Singapore... .
Envying: the effortless elegance of your layouts.
Hugging: virtually! *hugz*
Your page was my favorite of all the SC NSD pages- it's so layered and detailed yet clean and modern- that's my perfect combo. Congrats to your sister on her wedding- she looked amazing.
It was 102F here yesterday!! We will be like this until November... gotta love Arizona! LOL!! I loveeeeeeeeeeeeee the lo! LOVING all the circles!! And loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee the photos... I met Nat at CHA last year...she is the SWEETEST!! I {heart} her! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)
I don't mind grocery shopping either, Sasha, especially if I manage to go at a time when the store isn't crowded. There's something about the list and crossing things off and being ready for a week that is really appealing.
I love grocery shoppping!!! that layout is amazing.
I used to love grocery shopping when I was not working outside the home now, I don't because I never have enough time so it is just another chore! I always get so hungry Sasha when I read your posts! loved seeing the wedding photos, everyone looks so wonderful!
I love grocery shopping too, bringing it home, hauling it in the house and putting it away is a different story...love your layout, and little glimpses into where you live and yes, your sister is beautiful...hungry and out of sorts here too, is there something in the air (all around the world?) ha!
I love seeing all the beautiful pics when I visit your blog! Love the post! Might have to use that. ;) And your LO? Woman, that is GORGEOUS!! Your stitching on it is FANTASTIC! You are just incredibly talented!
Love the peeks into your life. Now I just need to come visit--I believe I remember seeing a pool in your complex?? Looks like such fun stuff!
Hahaha! Monstermaker! What else did you except, her being your child and all!! ;D *snicker*
looveed meeting you sweet girl!!! and oh your sister looked so gorgoeus! and I looooveee grocery shopping :)
Yes, I enjoy grocery shopping - especially if I can go by myself! I love your recipe challenge page. I didn't find time to do many of the challenges, but if I do it in the future, I'll be sure to let you know. I am absolutely in love with your pages. They are so clean, but messy at the same time, and I LOVE it!! ♥
Oh Sasha, you are such a sweetie, your blog always makes me happy :) It's those beautiful, beautiful photos and the honest way you write *hugs*
I am always amazed with your hand stitching and this LO is absolutely beautiful. Love it to the max and thanks for sharing!
Yay, you're back, I've missed you! You never disappoint, however, loads of pix once again. You are the queen of circle hand stitching girl. I need to get my hands on some more floss. 5K? in that heat? Way. To. Go!!! I totally want to tackle your challenge. The new project looks lovely so far. Funny I was just talking with dd11 this evening about that very thing. Acceptance, such a difficult reality for most 11 year old girls, someone is always on the outside looking in :( And, about groceries I use to love it when I had babies, it was my night out (how sad is that?!), but now I could take it or leave it to be honest. And yes, please keep me posted on when your little sis gets married, I may just have to run away from this place and come as your 'international guest' lol
Wow, lovley LO and wonderful pics and words! Thanks a lot! I ve also leave a comment by April 8th, 2011.

Dayum! Your food pics always make me want to take a trip across the world to your neck of the woods. Yummy!
You are making me want to cross stitch so bad. A trip to the craft store is in my future, I think... ;-)
