Few weeks back

.....these happened

I'm quite different

I have to admit I'm rather awful at keeping this blog up. Sometimes I just feel my Instagram account and Facebook page is sufficient. But then when I need to just pen something down I realize it's best I do it here.

At this point here with these pinks, I'm still lack of challenge in the creative side when it comes to orders. Mostly clients will want the general or the usual. I find it hard to tell them that I don't do the general nor the usual and I always want to create new designs and new compositions. How do you really tell a client that without sounded like a total snob? I wouldn't want to tick them off and let them think I'm hard to deal with but I'm merely just wanting to create something different, beautiful and unexpected for them. I also find it "long-winded" of me to explain to them my style and creative approach via text on Whatsapp! Common...who wants to read all that in such a small screen? But I try my best.

Vintage vibes

I'm terrible sorry for the lack of posts lately. I'm just done with some crazies and now I have a little more time to myself. 

I think I'm feeling a tad bit zesty lately...I don't know if that's even a right description of my color choices but I seem to get drawn to the brights as of late like lemon, orange, lime, anything citrusy. I am also a tad drawn to vintage colors of an old 1970's photo, a little faded with a punch of bright color which does not seem to wear off even after 20 years but the whites becomes yellow. Nostalgia perhaps.

Playing with moss

I know it doesn't really show from here that I made a little patch of "flat ground" covered in moss. It looks really cute when viewed in person. It's my first attempt and I'm quite happy with it. Another thing I'm happy about is how my lady's slipper orchid finally made it's debut and 3rd thing I'm pleased with is my my long awaited use for the Spanish moss I've been growing. TEN POINTS for me. Below on the left is a close up of my flat ground, all moist and ready for a snail to hang out at. Still not very visible from photos. :/

I need some air

This mid-week has been a little rough. To start with, I sent my car for servicing as it was due and I highlighted that my brakes are not working too well since couple weeks back. It's been 2 days and I'm without a car and on top of that they finally found out after 48hrs that my ABS is not working. "Great." Then to make things worse, my neighbor has conveniently "forgotten" yet again to inform us that she is to change the fencing both our town houses are sharing. Like how she "forgotten" to inform us when they were renovating the front and tore down the dividing fence in February.

Not only those workers trespassed into my compound but they ruined my Mexican creeper plant which I've been so diligently growing and caring for for the last few months. Ripped from their growing spots and left dangling in a mess with broken branches. I was fuming! If I was a dragon I would have burned them all alive with one puff!! So I fessed up a scene and told them off...but nothing could save my flowers.

By night time I calmed down. My Mr. passed me the lace I ordered online for my wedding gown which I purchased from Etsy. That site is addictive and dangerous to the wallet but my lace is the deal of the decade and I couldn't be more pleased with the price I paid for it. Ok ranting is over but please check out the number below I made for a ROM with and airplant!

Sorry doesn't cut it unless it's with flowers

Have you ever written a personal note on behalf of someone? I suppose you have not unless you are a PA to a boss who can't lift his own finger or you are a florist or.. I can't think of any other profession but you get the idea. I've written quite many well wishes and other greetings to go along with my flowers and I'm glad that I still dodged the really sad ones like...death. It feels strange still to write something on behalf of someone else and I often have many thoughts in my head as I pen it down. "Does this look like his/her writing?"
"Don't be absurd, it's obvious it came from the florist."
"Is this what they really want to say on the card?
"Oh grammar mistake, I have to fix it."
"Oh no..what did you do this time!"
"Does this look professional?"
"It's just a dumb boy, get over it!"

I made this white fluff of a "I'm sorry" arrangement below, it's my first sorry note so I didn't know how to feel. As I was writing it I tried to feel as sorry as I can for all the bad things I did in my life...you know...so when he reads it he could FEEL it..I guess it looked pretty real. Who am I trying to kid, I didn't feel sorry. AT ALL. Maybe if I dripped couple of drops of water to fake the tears...
