Polaroid Picture
Not the first time but definitely the recent one since few years back. Attracted by grainy and saturated colors from Polaroid pictures so I started using Polaroid cameras since year 2009 with various type of Polaroid films. It's an effort bringing extra carry-on when traveling but the results always surprise me and encourage me again next time!
Fiddle-Leaf Fig Tree
Recently we decided to add the third fiddle-leaf fig tree. It’s a good deal from HEB and very suitable for an office corner. My husband calls this one “Harry” and the shorter one below “Marv” (from movie “Home Along”)
Diamond Fence Trellis
Our project for the new house since 2021 March after Texas rare freeze. Star jasmine had been slowly climbing along the wires from six bases but seemed hibernating through this winter until now.

Sketch & Paint
My son’s birthday painting kit - He asked me to draw a dinosaur of his choice (back of the paper in the picture). I couldn’t stop and finished the water color painting. Last time I had a paint brush in my hand was more than ten years ago.

Hamachi Kama - The collar of yellowtail fish (Hamachi) - the best tender part! I can eat this every weekend if I can find consistent resources to shop from.
Green House in The House
A friend gave me some small plants to begin with. I don't believe I have a green thumb but this looks not too bad right?
Landscaping Design
We wanted to take the advantage of the afternoon shades of the backyard since it's facing mostly east. It's especially nice during that time for kids to play outside in the summer.
Valentine's Boxes
Thought I had some leftover fabrics from 4-yr-old babyproofing cushions and Halloween costumes of recent years. Oh and the shoe boxes!
Snowman Project
Snowman - School Christmas project. I was thinking to let kids stick those flower pieces for hat decoration.

They were so into Octonauts on Netflix at that time. Weili said he wanted to be Captain Barnacles and we decided Charlie as Shellington the sea otter (with a crossbody bag).
Corner Playroom Creation
Take advantage of the living room corner to create a safe and abundant play area for my 2yr and 1m old boys.
