My 20cents Top

I wish I have some DIY tutorial to share today.

However, it was such a gloomy day 

that called the couch potato in me to play its wonderful role.

 But really, I just want to show off my thrifted top!

Soo comfy and perfect for the wet weather today.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

DIY: Dress Into A Blouse

I ordered this dress from Ebay. 

Although it was advertised with pretty pictures, 

I was disappointed when I tried it on.

It was too big on me and too short for my liking.

Returns and exchanges cannot be an option

since I'll have to pay for the shipping.

So my solution was to alter the dress to my size

and make it a suitable blouse.

1. I removed the side zipper of the dress.

2.  Sew the white lines (see first picture above) on the sides of the dress.

3. Cut the dress short through horizontal white line (see first picture above) and hem.

First, it felt like I may have chopped the dress way too short for my blouse.

Thankfully, I'm a shorty myself so it's no biggy.

Matching blue and yellow makes a totally pretty outfit. Don't you think?

 But until people from church pointed it out, I did not realize, 

I was actually wearing a Snow White outfit.

This is my first so am a bit shy but gotta try it. :)

We hardly ever stay put on Saturdays.

And when we do, it makes me all agitated to get as much items, as I can, crashed out on my invisible to-do list.

Other than cleaning and decluttering, last Saturday was intended for…

 ‘Gardening..’

The last two pots are cucumbers.  And the other three?  Yes, sweet potato vines. What’s considered a decorative plant here is a common food in the Philippines. Those pretty leaves are as edible as the roots. OKaayyy, remember that we live in an apartment. So that’s the best we can do for gardening. Hubby is as negative as some of you maybe. They’re all vines which mean they need to be planted on a bigger space like a real garden and not pots.  Oh well, we’ll deal with it as they grow bigger. For now, I’m just happy they have survived 4 days in pots.

Baking…

Last Sunday,I brought this baked leche flan

and again, pickle wraps

for our potluck at church to celebrate the Kappmeyers’ 40^th wedding anniversary.

That's how our weekend went. Hope y'all had a great one, too.
