o...x'mas tree

every year, i will buy a little bit of new ornament for christmas.
this year, i found this lovely "blow glass" birdie !
very cute, very delicate.
a set of six are on my tree now.
the theme of last year was using silver & gold butterflies.

i will attend a x'mas wreath making class in the coming month using real pine...
um... i love the smell of pine leaves.
wishing the class day will come faster !

new project

attended a soap-making class on saturday night at prince edward,
this ginger soap is a gift from teacher linda & her brother-in-law.

i learned not only the chemistry of NaOH+H2O+oil=soap (hey the F.4 chem !), but also the calculation of INS, SAP values, which are v. important in soap making.

my "products" are now setting for 24hrs to become solidified,
& then 4-6 more weeks to maturation,
hope they can be ready as X'mas gifts !

handmade soaps are good for those who have itchy skin after using the shower gel,
it also good for the environment as they will be decomposed by CO2 in 24 hrs.
with the additions of different oil, essential oil or herbal powder,
the value & function of the handmade soup is added ! :P

purple fantasy

many of my wedding clients love puple+white to be their wedding theme.
it's a favorite color of girls (how about men?).....

today's my client Polyxena & Jackie's wedding, "Happy Wedding!";
they came to me about 2 months before their wedding,
the time is a bit rush for making a seatingplan with guest name printed, and some other things, but luckily everything runs smoothly.

i intentionally picked the deep purple for her, blending with the light purple flowers and cream roses.
feel very happy after this welcome board is done. all those bad moods of the whole week are gone.

to my surprise, the 2nd most combination that many brides pick would be yellow+ white... but since many have discussed with me about flowers, they asked about what kind of yellow flowers can be used.... hum... let me try try next week sin :P

black monday

i have experienced the most horrible black monday ever.
everything was not right.
there were obstacles/ bombs everywhere.
almost cried out yesterday.

wish me luck & have a smoother weekdays...

2. better have the measurment in your hand first (no refund/exchange for the fabric) !
3. minimum order:1 meter


the section is okay huge with many choices & i will definitely go back there once again few days later.

the 50% off sale will last till 20th this month !

attention:
3 hrs free parking on sat/sun/ph (if enter b4 12noon) at Megabox
or free for HKD200 purchases (other time!)

suddenly love this place &as we cannot find such similiar place in HK.

i feel a bit sad to see the staff are standing everywhere.. chatting...starring at 1 point with no focus in their eyes...and basically, there is not much customers around.
(tho' shops in shum shui po are a lot cheaper for buying buttons, ribbons, fabrics...)
i hope it will not close down so soon.....

龍穿鳳翼

中三家政科所學的一味餸.
人生中只弄了四五次, 因為工序繁覆.
大王這次也有幫手, 去掉骨頭部份.

小貼士:
雞翼的調味只用了一種, 就是四季牌鹽焗雞粉.
１磅雞翼落半包粉便夠, 其他的都不用囉; 很方便.
調味時緊記把甘筍及西芹也放下,
姨姨開西餐廳, 大廚教路把這些也一起奄肉類會令肉類更美味 !
