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.

World Cup 2014

This is obviously not DIY related at all, however, I just wanted to say a few things.

Never had I been into football before, I am not quite into sports myself but lately, all because of my friends and husband, I seem to get into it a little. Or at times, I have actually blamed the interest on my unborn child (having a baby boy very soon, yey!) and to my English husband. Oh, all the talks and plans he's got for him and our little boy's future activities, mostly about football. Even as far as saying they will be going to the World Cup 2022 in Qatar. Of which he says, our son will be about 8 and old enough to go. 

I Support England obviously because of my dear husband, but seeing their performance and current exit from the Cup, I jokingly told him, well, if you're taking our son to Qatar in 2022, won't you both be disappointed, as of the moment, even having Rooney and Gerard on the squad didn't helped much at all, how much more 8 years from now when there's no other younger players that seems to be promising to lead the team! He said, well, we shall see.

This was Yogi on that day England was playing and a match that would would decide they were in had they won. But we know they didn't.  Even then, Yogi wasn't too happy with what's happening. Lol!

We've watched the England matches and other relevant ones so far. I have to say, I think my husband has now managed to traumatise one of our dogs. We have two, Yogi and Dylan. Dylan couldn't care less, he would be up once in a while when darling husband shouts, but Yogi, even when he is very sleepy refuses to sleep and each time he hears his dad's shouting, he would be scared, would hide and at some point, I realised was shaking. The poor doggy. 

I have to also add that the World Cup this year is full of surprises. From the previous champions, Spain playing poorly and is now out, to most of European countries like Italy & England being out and not made it to the round of 16, now as well to most of South American teams playing too well and to some biting on the pitch. Even I can't believe what I'm saying but this football "thing" is starting to really get me very interested. Ha!

Personally, I don't have a team in mind that I'd like to root for as of the moment. Needless to say, it would be interesting to see who the champions would be.
