Whirlwind Christmas!

it has been a WHIRLWIND CHRISTMAS EVE--hence the blog title. haha met up with not one, not two, but seven friends today to pass them my presents^^ yippeee!!! hope that they liked what i gave them^^
well. would like to wish everyone of my friends, family members, EVERYONE:
BLESSED CHRISTMAS!!!!

yesterday was gift exchange day for cabinet council--pictures are on facebook. hehe was quite fun, hui yi, rab and me were like running around from vivo to harbourfront centre to look for gifts to buy for our exchange partners. i dipped and got jia cheng. woah hard man!!! wanted to buy a bracelet for him, but couldn't find a suitable one, or that the bracelelt cost a bomb. haha so got him this poster that said: when i fart, i blush which was uber cute. seriously!!! and three badges with tortise and emoticons on it. initiall i bouth him a tagged which said: shadd up. but i lost it along our 'amazing gift race' :( so was quite sad. i got a bag of sweets from michelle!!! the bag itself was gorgeous already, plus it came in a silver box which was quite authentic^^ haha. then took jump shots in which i was apparently blocked in some of them but who cares? haha it's the fun that counts!!

anyways, i did some mini cushions for six of my friends so here are the pictures:



before, the outline stage, using tiny coloured beads. mixture of read and blue.


stage two is to fill the outline with coloured sequins of your choice. tedious i know, but the final product is worth it:

don't forget to add your initials at the back^^ i used the thread to form: with love clare.
next stage is to add stuffing--cotton wool, not too full as you need to sew it up. the mini cushion will look like this:

isn't it cute? haha.
if you like, you can also add tiny details using leftover beads:


heart shape or bunny motif are uber adorable :)

or you can just add simple star shape sequins^^.
so here are all the 6 designs that i made:


yup, these are all the products.


i personally like the back cause there are my initials^^



of course i did receive presents in return:

some of the presents are not in here though. cause they are either in the fridge, or in my stomach (thanks xiang rong for the fries)>< haha
of course my personal favourite:

uber cute piano pedal socks from my piano teacher!!! woohooo!!!! haha
then mum bought this really huge dinner bundle from crystal jade. there was turkey and burgers:

mushroom pastry!!!!

my personal favourite: hotdog cocktail!!! oops.. haha where did one go? guilty of eating it^^

turkey and chicken cutlet. mum said that log cake feast it tomorrow. haha cannot wait!!!

my dinner. mum said i should eat porridge, since i was so giddy after rushing from je to home to jurong spring cc to boon lay. haha. thanks for being able to nake it people!!!
this month of december have been filled with hope, and crashes. ups and falls.
i'm still in a state of confusion. of trying very hard to supress some feelings of outburst and maybe outrage.
haven't been sleeping or eating well due to that.
i wish i can rewind back to the time where everything was normal for me. to me.
well, just hope that i can hang in there. i really want to reach my ultimate goal!!!
i must not forget my ultimate goal.
press on clarissa, push forward.
don't look back, just keep going forward and excel!
don't look back.
don't look back.


HAVE A BLESSED CHRISTMAS!
PRAISE YE THE LORD!!!!!
LOVE YOU GOD!
