This tutorial has been making its rounds around the blogosphere but if you haven’t seen it yet, I think it is a pretty ‘back to school’ kind of craft. Seen via Creature Comforts, the repurposed paperbacked apple structure tutorial is by Cheeky Magpie. Enjoy!

I’ve had a little tod stuck to me pretty much the whole day so I haven’t quite been able to keep to my promise of restocking the shoppe. I’m crossing my fingers (and toes!) that there’d be time after tonight’s CNY visitation (yes, it hasn’t ended yet, 15 days for CNY remember?) to sneak into [...]

Yes, it may be on Feb 14, a good 3 weeks away but when you consider the time required for international shipping, it is best to start shopping early.

Still on the topic of the little tod’s birthday, look what I found? Apparently, now you can design your own muppets! Quite fun but a tad costly. But do go check it out at FAO Schwarz nonetheless. It certainly seems like Sesame Street is reinventing itself and keeping up with the times!

Now that the long weekend in Singapore is just passed, we are stepping up into gear to get all your packages out today. It was a whopping bummer crop of orders that came in during the break and we are doing our best to ensure all your orders are at the post office (and on [...]

Now that the ‘important’ first 2 days of CNY is over, I’m turning my attention elsewhere. Jayden‘s birthday is coming. Not that we are going to do a big birthday bash, but these pictures just attracted me. In all likelihood, his 2nd birthday will be an intimate family affair. No need ‘favours’. Just a cake [...]
