It’s such a hot sunday over here, I’m hungry and I need to take a Sunday bath. And I must go out and kiss the sun.

If you need a reason to create an inspiration or mood board, take a look at these and I am sure you will have an urge to decorate your memo board right now.

And here is a tutorial from maya*made on making a creative board from a recycled sack. Neat idea.

we have to look at a different perspective. The face is not the only beauty of the body, perhaps we can know a person, without looking at his/her face. Perhaps the feet and shoes can capture more soul of the person?

Blue and teal is KiireyBlog’s color combo of the month. So let’s do a color combo swap. The official swap is being hosted at Swap-Bot. Let’s take up the challenge and swap goodies in blue and teal, turquoise, red, pink, white and any color that fancies blue and teal color combo.

How to join?

Head over to swap page at Swap-Bot, if you’re a Swap-Botter, you can just join right away. If you’re new to Swap-Bot, create an account, fill up your profile page (you must fill up a detail profile page so that your partner will know what to and what not to send to you) and join (if you’re new and has no feedback rating at all, just mention that you are KiireyBlog’s reader).

Sign up dateline is March 10, 2010. Partners will be assigned right after sign up closed and swap dateline is March 31, 2010. So you must collect, package and send out your pretty package before March 31st.

What to send?

It’s a lucky parcel, you must wrap and decorate your things as pretty as a cake. Some ideas on what you can send :
Handmade things (preferable, it’s really lovely to send someone something you made)
postcards/memo card/notecard
Plushies
Bath item
Buttons/lace/ribbons/any craft supplies
Stickers
or even write a letter
Random but pretty things that will make your partner smile when they open the package

Take Note:

Don’t make the package too heavy and shipping will be expensive, as this is an international swap. Estimate total items to be around $10.

Take a picture of your lucky parcel before you send out, email me the picture or if you have a blog, brag about it (but try to do it after your partner receive it).

Let’s have lots of colorful fun!

I’m feeling artsy lately and took out my palettes of acrylic paints. Then I couldn’t help drawing and painting poppies. I love seeing them blooming on aged vintage papers. I made a series of Poppies ACEO.

Artist/Crafter : NottyPooch (Huey and Wah)
Country : Malaysia

Shop : http://www.etsy.com/shop/nottypooch

A lovely couple, Huey and Wah, run NottyPooch together and with a noble concept, for a greener environment as you can see from their range of product made from vinyl advertisement banners and buntings. Recycle, reuse and upcycle with style. And Kiirey has the opportunity to talk to them:

1. Tell us a little about yourself.
I’m Huey. I run a little business making recycled banner accessories and screen-printing cool t-shirts with my boyfriend, Wah. I’m approaching my 30’s *ahem*, petite, but I eat quite a lot. I majored in Oil Painting when I was in college but I haven’t been painting for years.

6. Are you a full time crafter?
Used to be, but not now. Wah is, but I will be one in January 2010.

And NottyPooch says woof

A lot of great finds from flickr, the color combo of this month, blue, teal, turquoise, white, red, they go so well together, don’t you think so.

Found this blissful polaroid picture by Susannah at sfgirlbybay. I am going back to my hometown early tomorrow morning (4am drive!!) for Chinese New Year celebration. It’s not a very long holiday for me but I will have a lot of fun and eat a lot.

Looking for a necklace that can make a bold statement? You should definitely take a look at Kyoto Hashimoto’s necklace designs. Most of her necklaces can be worn in two ways, shiny hand-polished acrylic side or natural wood side. Simply lovely and classy.
