My Living Room, Full of Precious Memories


Do you like Sawing?  Knitting?  Cooking?

My answer is "NO." As a good mother or a wise wife, I should have been good at those things. I can barely sew a button to my shirt.
But I've been enjoying making verious things to display, which are not any benefits to my family at all, hahaha...

Today, I want to show you some of my artworks in my living room!

 
The wreath in the above photo is made of a paperback. Just by tearing some pages from the one you've already read, you can easily make such a wreath.
 
 
 
 
Put some Annabel in an antique bottle. Like collecting those kind of antiques from Western Countries.
 
  
 
Look at the lights over the table in the photo above. I looped the wires with leaf-motifs around the bare light bulbs.


In Christmas season, I made the tray above with dried leaves from my balcony, hanged between the light bulbs.




On the iron panel, hanged a  Maidenhair Vine planted  in a rusty tin painted white.





I also made this  wall decoration with an antique match case. Made some little yarn ball to be put.

 
 
I have a collection of tiny houses. Among them, the Wind Mill is what I made from chunk of wood. It was fun to make it with friends. The most difficult part was scraping blades so that they could practically whirl.
 
 
 
 
As indicated above,  I spent several years to make those things by myself. Although they might mean nothing to you, I have good memories of each:)
  
 

 
 
 
 
The other day, a few people from  magazines visited me and took photos of my living room:)

 



I'm happy to share my room, full of my precious memories, with readers.


 
 
Oh my god!
I completely forgot to ask him the release date.
 


 
 
But they sent the magazine a couple of days ago:)
 

 

Excited to see my living room in print!
