Birthday Bash

Image
Last night my family celebrated Simeon, our Lhasa Apso dog's birthday. He turned 2 this year, according to his papers. We weren't exactly sure of the date but we've decided that he's final birth date will be on the 24th, which is today. We celebrated it last night because my sister's schedule did not permit her to celebrate it with us today. It's like a children's party filled with balloons, party hats, and of course, chicken and cake.  Simeon's candle is a singing candle! When you light it up, it sings happy birthday.  Thank you Goldilocks for making Black Velvet cakes! Lol. Our maid's prepping him for his birthday, and oh boy I'm telling you he did not like it..at first. He was scared of the balloons and he thinks the party hat is the "cone of shame". Check out his frown.  You see, this dog loves the camera. He wasn't even afraid of the candle, basta lang makita niya yung camera , POSE! ...

DIY 2.0: Dyeing and Pockets

Image
As promised, I'm going to show my other DIYs.  Sorry for the bad quality, auto-flash. I need to fix my camera. Distressed the fabric ( I love distressing fabric, it's my stress reliever haha)   Sewed on a pocket then distressed it again. Sorry for the bad quality! This is like my 3rd time to distress, I really need more practice. I tried to dye for the first time. What do you think? Here's what I did: 1. I bleached the fabric first (This step is optional since others don't do this,  but I wanted to see the pop of color) 2. Boil water ( Hot water easily dissolves the dye) 3. Get a basin and something you'll use to mix the dye (I used a stick) 4. Mix hot water and dye. Make sure to mix  it properly to have an even color. 5. Dip the part of the fabric that you wanted to dye. Then, VIOLA! Donezooo. I used Dura-Smooth Fast Dyes, I bought the colors Pink, Violet, and Yellow. They're really cheap, like 2.00-3.00 php onl...

Do it Yourself

Hey guys! I want to show you some of the things I DIY-ed. Originally pants. I distressed the fabric to give it a "grunge" effect. Added studs at the back. I really wanted this but unfortunately it doesn't fit me anymore, so I gave it to my friend. Old shorts, sewed buttons since I was out of studs. Again, distressed the fabric. Giving this to my friend as well. Note: Be creative. Use old buttons lying around your house. I still have two upcoming DIYs, so watch out for it! If you want me to make a tutorial on how to distress the fabric, just comment below. Goodluck!  Love, Anonymous
