These past few weeks I have found the joy of making cute things. That is after I got my hands on the “Cute doll” book by Aranzi Aronzo.

Here are a couple of my project from that book.

Took me 4-5 hours to do them each. Being a total noob at sewing and also sewing by hand really made it rather slow to finish one project. Sewing, crocheting, knitting are not really fat burners exercises, but it can be rather tiring sitting and sewing for hours when you are not used to it.

But did I have enough of craft already? Surely not! Cause I’m getting myself more books to teach me to make more cute stuffs.

Waiting patiently for them to arrive in the mail…..

We all love to own new cars. But not all of us are fortunate enough to buy new cars every few years. Some of us would even be lucky enough to own one car. But then that shouldn’t stop one from having a car that ‘blings’ like new.

Browsing carid.com – a one stop car accessories online store -  I believe that if you ever have to choose one car accessory to revamp the look of your car, you should definitely go for chrome. Chrome pillar posts, chrome mirror covers,  chrome door handles, chrome window sill trim and many other chrome accessories to choose from would definitely grab a lot of attention from onlookers.

With prices lower than the market price offered by carid.com, it sure would cost a lot cheaper to have a cool looking car that ‘blings’ than buying a new car.

I know how to crochet a little but have stopped doing it for some time now. But I am going to start doing it back again.

If you have not tried crocheting, and you like cute things like amigurumis, that alone is a good enough reason for you to start crochet.

At least that got me interested again. Only have to wait for my amigurumi book to arrive in the post to try my crocheting skill. Would be nice to start with an amigurumi cell phones charm.

Due to the current economy situation, most of us are in a rather tighter budget for Christmas presents this year. Many would say, if you can’t buy them make them! That’s exactly what I’m going to do.

I got myself an aranzi aronzo cute doll book to teach myself how to make kyuuto (cute) dolls for the nieces.

Looking at the how to make, it seems rather easy to make these cute things.

Making these wouldn’t cost more than $2 and maybe 1 hour or 2 to make one. What’s more, it would be extra special because there’d love in every stitch.

You can always go for an xbox 360 for a gift, but if you are poor like me, making cute things like these as gifts could not go wrong. Because, who doesn’t like cute things??

When the word “Fat” is mentioned the thing that comes to mind may be, “I need to lose some”, or “I’m keeping myself away from it”. But do you know that some fatty acid that can actually help us get rid of fat?

While browsing I came upon something interesting regarding conjugated linoleic acid cla. It is a type of fatty acid that can be found in various sources, like dairy products and even plants like sunflower seeds.

Quoting from wikipedia,

Some studies of CLA in human diets show that it may reduce body fat, especially abdominal fat. A maximum reduction in body fat was achieved with a daily dose of 3.4g.

I believe there are some diet product that contains CLA. But just as like any other dietary product, you just got to consult your physician before trying.
