Nursery Wall Art

Finally, that one wall in our baby's nursery room had been painted. Yipee!

It is just one wall, but mind you, it took my husband about two months to get started (the busy bee that he is). It was so funny. He started from scratch to the first coat and didn't finished it fully. Just right after finishing the first coat, for some reason he had a very bad back pain that he could barely walk for about a day and a half. He is alright now, he reckons that it was just a trapped nerve. ha!

Thankfully, my brother in law and a good friend finished that one special wall. Ha ha ha!

Anyway, right now I have not posted a photo of the whole room as it still needs a bit of organising. 

This is how it looks like with our son's crib againts the wall.


These were the wall arts I made the other day.

Dear husband hasn't put the canvases up the wall yet. But because I can't wait to see how it would look like, I took a photo of each of the canvas and edited it on my phone and voila! 

Hopefully, dear husband will be able to put these all up before our son is born. lol!

A Dollar Shop Concept: My Daiso Finds (July)

A few days ago, I went for grocery shopping at the Ibn Battuta Mall. And managed to quickly drop by the Daiso shop.

Just managed to get a few things. And here are what I bought. 


Found these bobbins. Was too happy to have these as I 
originally have 2 and what a hassle it had been most 
especially when dealing with different colours. And 
just had to get the girly measuring tape as well.
Just a mix of things. Poles/ rods, felt cloths, 
book end stopper and a laptop sleeve.


Some fabric tapes that I'm sure I'd be able to use on 
some DIY projects pretty soon.


Just some stick glue that I need to stock and a crafting
 glue that I'm going to try and see if its great. 
If it is then thats really a good find for 7.00 AED.


Some kitchen stuff: Strainer and jars.


Just showing some of the jars and sizes available. I know 
that some mason jars tend to be expensive and these 
are definitely nice enough and cheap ones.


Like I said before, I would keep coming back and look for new items they'd have. I would also love to visit their other branches particularly the one at the Oasis Centre. However, as of the moment, even their small shop at Ibn is enough for now.
