Projects, projects, projects.....

There's a zillion little projects i wanna do for the home.....
At times, just having so many of those thoughts in my head, makes me dizzy and slightly anxious for time......weird, i know.....

Just to name the few that's floating in my noodles now?
1) Search for a very very pleasant, natural pure essential oil, WHY? To make my own scented candles for the home of course...the ones from Loccitane that I have/had are heavenly.....the price tags are too! That's why! I just loveeeeee aromatherapy.....
(Of course I know I won't be able to dupe the exact same 'heavenliness', but say....ermm....50%, or even 40% of that is considered pretty darn good for the kind of budget i intend to spend on this project!)

2) Make a lantern....or two... (just remembered I have TWO babes in da house)
No, not jack-o-lantern.....for the upcoming Lantern Festival (yeah, the Chinese one, duh! The only festival in the Chinese calendar that I truly look forward to with lots of anticipation, aside from Chinese New Year! Yeah, coz to me, Ching Ming and Hungry Ghost Festival aren't exactly stimulating:P )

3) Maia's 2nd birthday party's coming up next month....I am currently collecting green glass bottles (be it wine or soy sauce as long it is GREEN) for a table centerpiece.....If you have empty green glass bottles that you intend to bin, yeah, just drop em to me :D

4) Gonna turn an antique brass tray which has a hole into a wall decor....it has been laying around the living room since we moved in....poor thingie!
Haven't finalized how and what yet..... to be updated.....

4) Had enquired the cost for 3 pieces of 2.5' x 8' tall canvas, hopefully the price is reasonable and acceptable by ME! (LOL), and will need to get the 3 canvases filled up to be featured on my very bare, very empty and plain dining wall!

5) Planning to get a few photos of the babes printed in large format to be wall-hung.....
We shall see....

What else huh?


Oh, tomorrow's a Saturday....and it has become Kyra and my favourite day of the week!
We have plans to visit a new teak furniture showroom to hunt for the "US" coffee table that our home is still lacking....hehe....but i doubt we'd be able to find it readymade...coz what I had in mind, is ROUND! Just like the Crate and Barrel's that i am so in love with.....
