Even more so now with the promise of more art work, illuminated pages etc etc. <br /><br />This morning, I was talking to FaiZ about our "loves" and passions, mine is of course mini and his, music, particularly his guitar. I told him working and practising on his guitar does not seem like fun, unlike when I am working on my dollhouse, how it is so fun I can work 3 days in a roll stopping only for meals and sleep. He said it is all about discipline so that you can learn a song . The satisfaction is when you finish and can master that song. But he hesitated and then added, of course by that time, I have already grown sick of the song....hahahaha. <br /><br />Maybe that's why we take our time to finish our creation, Betsy :):).Sans!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142349451568183257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254510705233595277.post-9820120506813361772010-09-03T11:46:33.722+08:002010-09-03T11:46:33.722+08:00Rosanna, this girl has dreams, big ones :).

Love her gumption. Anyhoo, I will ask her for the recipe of that dish. I think you should be able to get the ingredients at your end, maybe an Asian market?<br /><br />This morning as I was running to Botanical Gardens, I thought of how I am going to do the post on the trishaw :). Heh heh! <br /><br />It's so nice to be able to tell you where I went knowing you know the place like I do :):). More amazing when you can tell me where to get what in my own country!!! This weekend I will go to Mustapha, 4th floor to look for the needles, like you told me.Sans!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142349451568183257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254510705233595277.post-10873341976964351112010-09-03T11:41:02.328+08:002010-09-03T11:41:02.328+08:00Hehe, Jayne, boredom is the best breeding ground f...Hehe, Jayne, boredom is the best breeding ground for nonsense----Susan T. <br /><br />By the way, I am positive your lotus wall in the guest room will be stunning.

I just love to paint.... and I can't tell you how long that dollhouse room painting has been waiting for me to get around to working on it!<br /><br />As for seeing more art, Sans!, you are way too good for my ego! Haven't you realized I am the Queen of the Unfinished art project? I am sure many more bits of my art will show up in my blog.... especially since you ask.... but it is a big order so it will take time to pull together.... so you will have to be patient with me! :):)<br /><br />I had to sell my old house and leave behind my unfinished murals because there was never going to be enough time to finish them the way I wanted them to be.... I love details... and I wanted to paint ALL the details.... at least in a dollhouse I have a hope of completing something.... so you can see why I HAD to paint it on the walls!!! That's why I am a miniaturist..... if the painting is tiny.... I eventually get it done! :)Daydreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170115485686244907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254510705233595277.post-58775528310219537782010-09-03T03:02:27.209+08:002010-09-03T03:02:27.209+08:00Is Fafa really buying a place on her own ??? great...Is Fafa really buying a place on her own ??? great !!!

Too weird and wo...BETSYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! :) <br /><br />Too weird and wonderful, right? I am also very thankful for that piece of information you gave me about my kingfisher. I could not decide whether it's a kingfisher or woodpecker cos it pecks like crazy! I have tried numerous time to look it up in google but I just wasn't sure. It was only with these pictures that I got a close up view and saw that the beak is huge! Anyway, we have always called it the blue kingfisher. <br /><br />Maybe all this is telling me that I should build a tree of life scene in my birdcage :). <br /><br />Besty (:):):)) we want to see more your art :).Sans!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142349451568183257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254510705233595277.post-81386329438060024792010-09-02T13:28:08.466+08:002010-09-02T13:28:08.466+08:00Hope you have received and read my email about how...Hope you have received and read my email about how this pair of shoes is for Polly Line :):). Maybe her bedroom slippers? Or something she uses when she's gardening? A few years back (maybe 10-20), cloth loafers were the craze here. These shoes reminded me of those loafers. Not very comfortable long distance but since when have comfort been the most important factors in shoes for women. If they are, we will all be wearing CROCs!! :). hmmmm, although I am not a fan of crocs in real life, I can imagine how they will be so darn cute in minis! :). <br /><br />I am equally in awe of Betsy's talent. I still think she's insane to do it the hard way :) and she should get an award just for that.hehe :):).Sans!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142349451568183257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254510705233595277.post-66844318189625146202010-09-02T13:10:14.401+08:002010-09-02T13:10:14.401+08:00Thank you Neo:) .

I just love them . Maybe it's because you can always shop for them no matter how much weight you have lost or more likely, gained :). <br /><br />I also noticed that the cute factor for mini shoes are extremely high. I get that reaction when children see mine in real life and it does not matter to them that they are not exactly made with precision :).Sans!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142349451568183257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254510705233595277.post-48638792450072062102010-09-02T12:56:28.591+08:002010-09-02T12:56:28.591+08:00Kim !!!!!!

All the visitors make a lot of noise, like my shoes :):):). It is also a pity that you did not get to see the hornbill or the orchids. I think they didn't want to compete with the birds or flowers in Bali. <br /><br />Did I tell you that Fafa wants to buy a house in Jogyakarta? It is very near Borobudur, which is where the ancient temple (9th century) is . The one you were supposed to go?
