The crafty things I am working on are DIY explosion box. This explosion box is composed of construction papers which is a perfect gift to couples. I am selling it at very affordable price, just by pasting pictures or putting chocolates inside the box, it is already a perfect gift you can give to your partner.

Recently I am into making paracords. The basic tie is very easy to make but the one with different pattern will require hard work and time. I am making to give it as a gift to my friends and co-worker. Last time when I need to posted to other place i give them to those who work together and they really like it. They even wear it as bracelet until today which that made me feel so touched.

Crafting isn't easy if you didnt find it fun and wanted to do it. Don't only think but take the first step to try and do it. You will find the happiness bury deep inside. Sometime it heals your old wound too. Just, try it sometime!

I am working on a garden sculpture made from a cement mixture called Paltiya. It's a woman's head with a bowl on top; I'll probably use it as a bird feeder.

I love using mod podge and all the ways I can use it. I've been making bottle lights for family and friends. Hooked on mixing food coloring with mod podge to give the bottle a stain glass look. Was also told to use food coloring with Elmer's glue for a sea glass look. I add pictures and napkins with designs with the bottle . Depends what the person likes. Then I put fairy lights in it.

I just started a charm bracelet business and I spent a good part of the day making the bracelets. It’s basically simple; the charms get attached to a tiny ring (called a jump or split ring) and the charm is now inserted into the expandable bracelet! You can pick and choose the type, number and design of charms you like.

A giant crochet granny square blanket. I love crocheting, but my carpal tunnel thinks otherwise :(. Other people who use this pattern can crank it out in a week or two. I've been working on this blanket for 4 months and might be done by summer, ha!

I decorate lunch bags with markers for Harbor House. They hand out 70 bagged lunches per day from my church's parking lot. I decorate the bags with colorful pictures and encouraging quotes.

I crochet. I have been crocheting backpacks. I like to crochet as I am listening to an audiobook or a tv show as background noise.

Redecorating my room with some CDs, I think it'll be really cool.

I took an interest in floral photography. Took a bunch of photographs on my smartphone and been having fun with post-production.

I've been trying my hands at baking recently, and so far I've been loving it.

I always have 5 projects slowly ongoing in the background, but I'm planning out how to repaint a wall-scroll calendar I have. Seems a waste to throw it out when it's printed on bamboo! It will either be very pretty or a disaster but I'm excited haha.
