Too cute for words! I want to nominate Bakerella as the cutest baking website in the whole universe. Don’t you just love those wedding cake lollipops? They were actually made for proposal purpose, but I think it’s such a cute wedding favor idea! Read the whole proposal story here.

Baby Shower Sneak Peek

… a.k.a what has been causing me back pain all day. :)

Oh well, it’s pretty worth it. It’s actually so, so fun, but my sewing machine wouldn’t cooperate with me. I had to end up hand-sewing them, but it’s looking cute so far, so I’m happy! :) I’m not sure I’ll be able to pull it off, but I might be making a diaper cake too tomorrow. Saw this tutorial to make it. Exciting! I only hope that I have the time. We shall see if time allows.

Wedding Wednesday: Eric & Sally

Today’s Wedding Wednesday is so breathtakingly lovely. I was just gasping when I saw these images on the blog of one of my most favorite Indonesian photographer, Axioo. I’m sure that most of you will agree with me that the bride’s dress is just so, so unique, extra special and beautiful. Sally, the bride, designed her own dress. No wonder! :)

I’m loving the subtle touch of the color red through the wedding details. Don’t you just love the guestbook table? One unique thing about the wedding venue, according to Axioo’s blog post, “Instead of going for hotel ballroom (which is where most weddings in Jakarta takes place), [they] opted for a more cozy and intimate setting at Rumah Maroko (Morocco House).

Engraved Book Cover

These engraved book covers by Engraved Your Book are just so endearing. This first one is designed by one of my illustration hero, Amy Ruppel and kinda matched my previous post :) Don’t you just love it?

Twigs and Woods from Anthropologie

Fall season is finally here in Dallas, Texas. (I think). I came out from my evening class at about 7:20 today and it was dark. It wasn’t as dark last week. The wind today was pretty chilly, too. A couple of my most favorite element of the Fall season is anything made of or related to twigs and woods. Love, love these Anthropologie home products.

Vintage Simplicity Prints by Mandy Lynne

I’ve been so.. so.. busy this week, which explains the minimal blog posts. Preparing my upcoming etsy shop *teehee*, doing personal projects, and who knows how much stuff i need to do for hubby’s birthday this week.

In the midst of all that, looking at these images by Mandy Lynne just got me all warm inside :) So, so lovely, dreamy, delightful, and inspiring. I love those scalloped square clipboard, which you can actually purchase at creative imagination.

Leash Pouch

Made this leash pouch for a dog lover friend. Thanks to Ellie’s idea the other day. :) I like how it turned out even though it’s not perfect and it could be MUCH more tidier. It’s been a LONG time since I last sew and embroidered and I clearly need more practice! :)

Web Design Class Projects

I’m currently taking a Web Design class at a local community college to brush up my web design skill since I’ve forgotten most of what I learned in school. Plus, at the time, we didn’t learn any CSS at all so I need to get updated. I’ve grown to love CSS so much, it makes everything so much more organized compare to the older HTML system. I should’ve learn these stuffs earlier :) Anyway… Here are some of the assignments I’ve done. Pretty basic and simple, actually. I’m sure we’ll be doing something more advanced later! :)

Cuteness Overload: Lollipop Workshop

I was over at Bakerella, one of my most favorite baking blog, and almost fainted to spot these cutesies.

Doesn’t that make you go “Awwwh…”? I couldn’t believe my eyes. How very, very cute! Lollipop Workshop makes the cutest lollipop doll. And guess what… they make custom birthday and wedding cake topper :) I love everything on their Etsy shop! Literally, everything!

Wedding Wednesday: Lizet & Edmund

Today’s WW is an intimate, chic, wedding, shot by the amazing Apertura Photo. I’ve been a long time fan of Apertura, knowing them from Kelly’s rave about them on Weddingbee (Kelly = Mrs. Eggplant).

When I first saw this wedding photos, I immediately thought J-CREW! The style, the color… it’s sooo J-Crew! Then I came to find out that Lizet’s dress is from J-Crew :) I love the simplicity of this wedding and the small little detail that warms your heart. Plus, according to Apertura, this wedding has only 13 people in total. I’ve always wanted a small, personal, and intimate wedding, but I just knew that it won’t be possible for us, due to a lot of circumstances! :) For more of Lizet & Edmund’s wedding eye candies, visit Apertura’s blog.
