<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Long time no see! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I hardly make anything new these days, but here is one thing that has been an obsession of mine for some time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A zipped pouch!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Made of wallpaper, of course.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The biggest task was to find the right pattern that allow me to sew the whole thing without turning it inside out (as if sewing a fabric pouch). I didn't realize this at first, hence i tweaked it from using different combinations of materials. The on-and-off trials &errors of numerous samples took almost two years (crazy!) and mostly ended in frustrations.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I did manage to make two different models of boxy pouch.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The first one tried with a much-too-long zipper (it was the only one left in my sewing kit).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The second one using fabric on the upper half of the pouch which i didn't feel like making anymore by the end of it.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Thankfully, the pouch trivia has now been solved!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> finally found out the correct pattern and managed to make the pouch using just wallpaper and fusible woven interfacing. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">They feel sturdy enough without being stiff, withhold wear & tear (thanks to the fusible interwoven and the strong stitch) and most importantly they have the "made-of-wallpaper" look. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I suppose it's a bit too late for a Happy New Year-greeting now, so why don't we talk about that other tradition with the beginning of the year? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Resolutions!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Anybody still <strike>work</strike> <strike>on</strike> remember theirs? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I, personally, stopped making them years ago. I can't help but feeling like i'm bluffing myself with all the goals for the new year. Whilst the process is therapeutic at times (i must admit), i find that i'm already a better person just by writing down the list without ever having to work on it (haha).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I'm not a pessimist really, i'm just a realist. (HAHAHA) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This is what Fran Lebowitz had to say about her writer's block, and i find it so relevant with resolutions (or my life, as a matter of fact):</span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">" If I tell myself, “Fran, you <i>have</i> to write,” I will not do it. I am so resistant to authority that I am resistant to my own authority."</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Genius, isn't she?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">With that in mind, i have decided to welcome the New Year with "NEW THINGS TO TRY" instead of the old and dreary "resolutions".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">First on the list, scrapbooking. (or better known as "the art of spending $5 for a $1.50photo")</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">These <b>Customized Word Albums</b> are perfect for inspiring-scrapbookers (i know there are a lot of you out there!) where you can select your photos based on a specific theme. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">For example, since we like to travel, i'm thinking of having "JAPAN" as the title of our honeymoon photo album. There i can put train passes, bills, tickets, any travel bits that serve as ephemeras alongside our photos. Surely it will be a personal project that will be cherished for years to come.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span> </div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The album itself is made of 3mm-thick MDF, covered with vintage wallpapers (colours & themes are available to your request) and sealed with Matte Mod Podge.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Didn't know what came upon me but i went all out crafty this Christmas. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It might be the result of overdosing myself with pretty pictures of DIYs, gift guides and printable freebies (a.k.a the trifecta of christmas posts on the blogosphere), yet i still find myself obsessively clicking every post that i had not yet read. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">These DIYs are resulted from just having the suitable materials i have at home (mostly papers). I rarely buy new ones, unless they're realllly pretty (like the glitter foams). So, dig around your house, don't throw some stuff yet and see what you can do with them. Nothing gives me better pleasure than the satisfaction i get from making my own house decorations. </span></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">1. <b>The Tree</b></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Not wanting to put up my old tree out of laziness, i ended up making one. (That sounds contradictory now i just realized). This one is inspired from Brit&Co's <a href="http://www.brit.co/washi-tape-trees/" target="_blank">post</a>, but instead of buying some washi tapes, i used flower tape. I like it because it literally takes zero space, perfect for a small house like mine. Decorate it with store-bought ornaments or even make them yourself if you're really crafty!</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKEc-p13rjjOAVoyCn2r3TIvYvbe1e1jB5YuObDyNMKBD-kWuNo7Ff8BzAKq_e04pPzrAUw3f5Z03fkYq7EBpckS3ifQ6K9bOfC6EMV7hu9zK5_Fmgq9NzPyJUU2Y09Jz8hTAg4di3LBo/s1600/IMG_5849.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKEc-p13rjjOAVoyCn2r3TIvYvbe1e1jB5YuObDyNMKBD-kWuNo7Ff8BzAKq_e04pPzrAUw3f5Z03fkYq7EBpckS3ifQ6K9bOfC6EMV7hu9zK5_Fmgq9NzPyJUU2Y09Jz8hTAg4di3LBo/s400/IMG_5849.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">2. <b>Faceted Paper Vase</b></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This one takes a bit more effort but it was worth it. Inspired from <a href="http://ohhappyday.com/2012/11/faceted-vase-diy-free-template/">Oh Happy Day</a><br />i had it modified to a bigger size so it would fit my vase. Using metallic sparkly wallpapers, it is perfect as a table decoration all year round. As for the stars, i doubled the patterns provided on the web and turned them into 3D ones, prettier when hanging em up i must say!</span></div>

<li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">i can easily change the layout (which i usually do after a few months)</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">there's always space for more things (double-doors are the best!) </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">it doesn't get messy because no glue/paint/powder involved </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">i don't spend on "unseen" things like glue, paint & powder</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">aaand... it is a 24/7 display at home (which always got my guests curious and take a closer look)</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Because the truth is i'm intimidated by doing a real scrapbook (there i said it!), and i'm a minimalist at heart, but on these steel surface i feel that i can just "let go" and jumble and pile things anyway i want them. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">To fill the whole doors is the step i'm taking slowly because it will surely be an enjoyable one. I encourage you to do the same to your fridge doors!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Oh right, i'm going a bit "alay" with that title.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">But with a reason... it is THE title of my husband's latest movie! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Before you conjure up images of cheesy local acts that are usually associated with indonesian catchy phrase, please let me stop you by saying: there's nothing cheesy about this movie. Well except, for its title. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Loe Gue End is probably awi suryadi's finest movie to date.<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The colors, the shots, the effects, the beautiful casts, the fast-paced editing, the haunting scoring... i could go on and on.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Making movies is very much a blood-sweat-and-tears project, and this one is no exception too. Everyone who is involved in the movie, from the casts to the crews, are pushed to give their best and it is very heartening to see they're very proud of what the movie has turned out to be. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">"Loe Gue End" is portraying the dark lives of the young upper-class in Jakarta, so expect to see alcohol, drugs and language that may not be suitable for children or teens under 18y/o.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">However, if you're up for a visual feast (i know i am) and looking forward to be entertained with things that are otherwise unfamiliar to you, i'd say "go for it". </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Okay, enough talking. Here's the unofficial teaser & trailer of "Loe Gue End" which premieres on <b>November 1st, 2012. </b><b><br /></b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">No, i'm not opening my own gallery if you're wondering, rather i decided to sell some of my personal collection of wallpapers. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This decision was not an easy one for me since i love these wallpapers oh-so-dearly (i hand-picked, cleaned and collected them book by book) but i realized it would be impossible for me to continue production like i used to ever since the old assistant left me. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I tried making some big wristlets the other day, and somehow it felt more difficult & time-consuming than ever to do just one piece. My new assistant (yes, finally got one) is still practically useless too at the moment. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Another reason would be that ever since opening paperpleased on facebook, i've discovered some wonderful crafty friends whom i'm sure would be able to create something beautiful with these papers. Call it the other way of "contributing" to the creative community, perhaps?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Most of my collection are one-offs that you wont find being sold at the shops anymore, although unfortunately they don't come with information on the production year. Some of the old ones have slightly turned yellow because of their age, but they have images that are unmistakably "retro" and "nostalgic".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Furthermore, the ones i'm selling are actually the ones i do not dare to make anything with them just yet. Why? simply because i flip them over occasionally to be left mesmerized by their patterns and colors. It really is therapeutic for me.(Okay i have to stop before i sound more like a lunatic.)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">For the first collection, i put this children series called <b>"Can You Imagine?"</b> by <b>Goodrich</b>. I'll be adding more over time but if you see anything that you like, you better book it right away because there's only one piece of each. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Hope you like it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Being a maker, its funny how i've never actually made anything for my husband. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">He's turning 35 this September, and had been given a Mac Book Pro as a gift from his super generous producer. In need of a new case, he naturally asked me to make one for him. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Looking around in my studio the next day, i found a stash of faux leather that would be perfect for my first experiment in making something with a unisex appeal. Unfortunately, with such thickness, it was impossible to stitch two layers of them using my home sewing machine. I had no choice but to hand-stitch the whole thing (<i>God, have mercy on my fingers</i>).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">After some painful hours, i panicked when i realized the case was too short for the Mac. I bet you crafters know how that feels. You feel dizzy and slightly short-of-breath, thinking of the most possible ways you could to save the project. There is no room for failure! (<i>or maybe i just owe it to my fingers</i>).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The most genius invention from the 18th century finally came to the rescue... the zipper!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Putting a zipper seems like the most logical thing to do, not to mention it will be a bonus on practicality if he can get the Mac out with just one hand. (Do you remember that line from "Up in the Air" where Clooney character says the Chinese has a thing for slip-ons (shoes)? i'm that kinda person so i can totally relate to that haha)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So the next day, off i went to a bag repair shop asking if they could put the biggest zipper they have to my handmade case. It didn't take long for me to decide to sew it myself after figuring out it would cost double for them to do it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Luckily, this time hand-stitching the zipper was not painful at all because i only needed to do one layer at a time (yay!). I also stick a piece of foam on the inner side of the zipper so it wont scratch the Mac surface when it's being opened and closed (a.k.a problem solved!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Here's how it looks when it's finished... </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Its funny how one easily looks at things differently after a long break from the usual routine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">During my hiatus, i took a long hard look at my wallets and felt like a major upgrade was necessary. I have to admit i had been avoiding this brain-racking and rather-frustrating process because i wanted to stay in my "comfort zone". Wouldn't it be nice to keep doing things the way you're used to?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">But no, my mind didn't let me and it went restless for weeks after weeks. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Going back and forth to the studio looking for i-dont-know-what, endless browsing for inspirations, all these took place before i bumped into the answers to my problem which were found under my very own working table.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">1. CARDBOARD</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I finally decided to seriously befriend this material after making the <a href="http://paperpleased.blogspot.com/2012/07/handmade-gift-ideas-hardcover-folder.html" target="_blank">Hardcover Folders</a>. But this time for the reworked edition of accordion-style wallets. I love their hard surface and durability and it's nice to see that they feel nice to the hands too. (Thanks to Isur for the design inspiration!).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">To make a difference from the previous non-cardboard wallets pictures, i also made this DIY lighbox (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1bAh193Iwc" target="_blank">tutorial</a>) that i use to take pictures of the Cardboard series. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">What do you think of the result?</span> <br />

2. FUSIBLE WOVEN INTERFACING<br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Another humble material that works surprisingly wonderful with the wallpapers. It gives me a non-tear able quality and fluidity for the paper, although i still can't sew and turn it inside out (bummer).</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I can sense this blog is driving more towards home decors lately, but i can't help it since i spend most of my time being in one. These one-off projects have been a great creative escape from the usual things i make for paperpleased and truth to be told, it's kinda addictive decorating your home with something you make yourself.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I find myself constantly adding and moving things around in my house. Always looking for that one more spot to add a new DIY. After all, </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">one produces beautiful work by surrounding oneself in beautiful things, no? </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">And so...i've been looking for something to fill the </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">blank spot </span>above-the-tv on my back wall. At first i wanted a taxidermy, but since i couldn't find a local seller here i let that one go pretty quickly. My second thought was a painted-in-one-color cuckoo clock. Again, finding none that suits my ridiculous super tight budget, i finally decided to make my own that combines the look of taxidermy and a functional clock.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Meet my wallpapered Deer Wall Mount...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This one is measured 50cm x 42cm (including shield).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I spent two days making it using foam (had to leave the glue overnight), cardboard and 3 sheets of wallpaper. It's very light and you only need to stick it using 3M poster strips and some blue tacks. Hence, no drilling required!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I've been making these 3D Paper Fonts for the past few weeks and i can't seem to get enough of them. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">One of the most popular decor ideas is to put them on walls, windows, fridges, above cabinets, etc, or hang as mobiles and buntings (in your studio or nursery, perhaps?). They also make great table centerpieces for weddings and dinner parties.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">My first
try at them resulted in a "small" mistake of a front-to-back letter 'L"
(see: "LOVE"). Some letters, especially the ones with curves, require extra
patience in cutting and putting them together. "B", "G", and "0" proved to be more
time-consuming than the rest of the letters i've made so far. I wonder how long "S" would take me *yikes*</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I love the fact that they're much lighter than wood, customizable in various patterns&colors, and not to mention the endless possibilities of showing your wit with them. Hurrah!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Located downstairs and adjacent to my dining room, my small guest room had been left out in my experiment with DIYs due to its gloomy color scheme of dark brown and grey. It was in need of some color love. </span></div>

To
keep the same color scheme going within the room, however, i selected the wood-grain ones which are commonly used to give furniture that authentic "made-of-wood" look. I arranged them and sticked them
one-by-one on the bedhead with a trusty double-sided
tape.</div>

Maybe i should have used a more appropriate adhesive, but i
didn't really wanna ruin the original haveel that had been pasted on the
bedhead, and the fact that i was too impatient/lazy/stingy to purchase a new adhesive *lol </div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">With the coming of Eid-Fitr holiday and having no assistant still, i decided to take a long break during this month of August. Being fidgety however, I decided to use the time to do some decorating around the house. First one to tackle: <i>Nail and String Wall Art</i>.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It is with joy and pleasure that the day of writing this post has finally come.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've finally finished two-hundreds (<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>yes, writing the number in letters, instead of numbers, for maximum impact</i></span>) pieces of cardholders for Nina's wedding.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It took me two months and four books of Japanese wallpaper to work on this project, with the help of a replacement assistant on the last week completing it. The patterns (<span style="font-size: small;">oh the patterns!</span>) are so varied and wonderful, and only one piece of each cardholder.<span style="font-size: small;"> (</span><span style="font-size: small;">Pardon me for being so lazy to take more pictures!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The wedding itself will be held on 22nd July 2012 in Conrad Hotel, Bali. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm so... EXCITED to be there to witness the wonderful union of these two best friends and to check out the gorgeous venue in person myself. It'll surely be a blast.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Happy wedding Vanina & Dean! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thank you for giving me the honor to bless your guests through my creation. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
May your paths be filled with love, laugh, tears and joy!<br />

<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
A series of happenstances took place these past few weeks. Some were
good, some were bad, and some were surreal.<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
First, the BAD news. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
My only assistant / helper-at-home: <b>Ningsih,</b> made an impulse decision to get married to her ex-boyfriend during a
5-days leave.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
(Read that again, and please emphasize on the word "only".)</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
Here I am, trying to juggle making 200pc of cardholders for a friend's
wedding souvenir in July (my biggest order to date!) while also running my currently out-of-stock
e̶t̶s̶y̶ facebook shop. By the time i wrote this, i still have 80pc to go, and i am up to my fourth book of wallpapers.</div>

I love the idea of having more assistants for a long time but anybody who's in the handmade business will tell you that it's. not. that. easy.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
... aaand it takes a lot of patience (which i am often lacking of).</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Not everyone is capable or even has the same standard of neatness when it comes to making things apparently. I've had an assistant in the past who can't even cut straight lines with a ruler and a cutter (yes, believe it). </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
This catastrophe is daunting me for weeks, up to the point where i find working by myself in the middle of the night was more bearable than during the day where we normally do it together. </div>

She was there when i first started Paperpleased and had constantly delighted me with her excellent standard of work. She was the only one i trusted with everything in the house and I always refer to her as my assistant (not a house maid). I encourage her to be on TV with me and along the way we've just sort-of become best friends since we spend most of our time together at home (cant believe, i am <i>this</i> emotional when it comes to her). </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
I'm still looking for a new assistant at the moment, while still persuading her to come back temporarily (u see how desperate i am?).</div>

Now, the GOOD news.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
As some of you might know if you follow me on @paperpleased, i had won a free Jakarta-Taipei-Jakarta ticket from Garuda Indonesia! </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
I've never won anything major before and this was... on a radio!</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
How many people do you know actually take part in joining them these days? i know none, but apparently this makes me one of them now.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
The news led us to the SURREAL part of this post... my passport.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
It just so happened that my passport expires on Dec this year and i had to renew it. However, i found out that i had lost the original copy of my birth certificate and thus, couldn't do the normal procedure of passport renewal.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Being the wanna-do-it-all kind of person and not wanting to spend millions of rupiahs on some agent, i decided to take the trouble of renewing my birth certificate myself. It took 8 working days and cost me only Rp25.000. I felt proud of myself, even if the Catatan Sipil office took two hours to get back and forth (thanks Jakarta traffic!).</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Back to the gathering of my documents, i had found out that i could not find my passport. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Yes, my old passport that i had to renew and which i had in my hands prior to renewing my birth certificate a week ago! </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
After turning the house upside-down,and preventing myself from going hysterical by taking a deep breath (it works), i checked the calendar and found out that i couldn't afford to wait til some fairy brought back my passport since i will be flying in July.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
On Friday, I decided to go back again to the police station to ask for another Lost Statement (the first was for my birth certificate). Twice in a week to the police station for the same cause is embarrassing enough, but luckily i had a different police to assist me for the second time.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
I was planning to go to the headquarter of Immigration very early the next Monday, when the night before just before the midnight strike, i received a tweet from someone. </div>

<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Unbelievable.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
I went hysterical right away (this time for a good reason) and hurriedly arrange with the wonderful Atma Jaya student, Marcell, to meet up at Plaza Semanggi the next morning.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Apparently, his friend's mother had found it on a parking slot at where she works (which must be the Catatan Sipil office) and put it in her son's car, which then was found by Marcell who shared a ride with him. It had been laying there for days when Marcell found it and just instinctively tried to find me on facebook and twitter. (God bless him!)</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
By the time i'm writing this post, i have filed my documents to the Immigration yesterday and waiting for a photo-taking session on the 15th. What an emotional roller-coaster ride this thing had been. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Now, i'm still counting on Ningsih's comeback... wish me luck!</div>
