Progress With My New Toys
I really don’t know where to start with the new house. Let DH worry a bit on that. We need to secure the house first -grill, anti-theft tint, or whatever to the sliding doors. Then comes the lighting and built-in cabinets. After that I guess, we can start looking for furniture, one after another. The lounge needs a new set of sofa, for sure. The current one (of low quality), when we bought 12 years ago, I expected to use for only 5 years max!
In the mean time, let me just indulge in my hobbies. Using the yo-yo makers that I bought 2 days ago, I’ve produced these:
Oh, this one is clearer:
I’ve yet to join the pieces. I’m still looking for ideas on the Internet on what to do with them…
I’ll have many more by tonight

Sab & DH, you’re welcome to visit us and see what we did to our new house.It might be give you pointers on what to avoid. Hehe.
Though I love how the artist paint and wall papered feature walls came out. And the kitchen standing bar, is as practical as I hoped, even though I wasn’t too satisfied with the kitchen contractor. And no matter what you’ll say, I love the exterior paint scheme, that *we* chose.
BTW, congrats on the new house. Certainly looks good to me.
wassalam,

Sabre,
TQ for the invitation. I’d love to, but kena tanya big boss dulu lah… Tak de house warming ke?
Good excuse to go.

I remember making similar shape thingy with my late mom in the 70s… We made them manually using perca kain… I dont remember what the thingy is called though… but I remember stitching them together to make handbags and also tupperware holders…
