Last week was very busy with work, there were some visiting stores at the supermarket I work at with delicious Japanese treats! Some people from Rapopo (not sure about the spelling) and Kukuru came from Japan to make sweet potato desserts and takoyaki. I must say, it was very yummy! But it was a very busy week at work which kept me away from my laptop for a while. I'm still trying to recover and can't help myself from taking little cat-naps with my sweetie Panther during the recent rainy days.
先週はバイトで大忙しでした〜！パソコン使うのが久しぶり（笑）
日本から「らぽっぽ」と「くくる」の方がイベント来て、お手伝いをさせていただきました。
アメリカで焼きたての「くくる」のたこ焼きが食べれるなんて、何か贅沢☆
「らぽっぽ」のスティックポテトも美味でした♥♥
でも先週の疲れの性か最近パンサー君といっしょに昼寝してばっかり。
寝顔がラブリ〜。パンちゃんなんでこんなにカワイイんだ！！！
A little before the week my job got busy, I went around some thrift shops with my mom to see if we could find any neat things to use at the upcoming craft show/goodbye party for a friend. I just happened to find this adorable little picture frame for $2.
バイトが忙しくなる前に実はちょっとお買い物をしてました。
近くのアンティーク屋さんで超カワイイ写真のフレームを発見！ちなみにお値段は＄２（日本では２００円くらい？）淡いピンクのバラがお気に入り！
中のガラスがボロボロだったので、新しい布と網戸用のアクリルメッシュを入れてみた。
ジャジャ〜ン！イアリングホルダーの出来上がり！
メッシュの穴にイアリングフックを引っ掛けるだけ。
メッシュと布の間にはゴムを入れてあるのでフックが入る隙間はたっぷり。
意外とたくさんイアリングを付けられるし、一目で全部見えるので急いでるときにアクセを選ぶのには結構便利。
簡単に作れて机の上も可愛く♥ 今度クラフトセールで手作りアクセのディスプレイに使う事にしました。
自分用にはもうちょっとクールなシルバーのフレームで作って。。。
It's a little too 'sweet-lolita' for me but I still find it attractive. I took out the old glass and added some fabric and a plastic mesh used in windows. There's some rubber strips in-between the mesh and fabric. Why do all this? To make a display for earrings of course! Since there's space between the mesh and fabric, you can stick earring hooks in the holes and display your earrings while organizing them at the same time. It's easy to make and I have a larger one I made with a vintage pewter frame for my own earrings. It's better if there was nothing behind the mesh, that way you can put studs on there too, but small picture frames don't work that way. :( But who cares! I find these very helpful since I can choose and grab earrings quickly and the frame itself is a great accessory for your desk.
It really isn't hard to make, I suggest you try it out! :) Now I'm off to make more crafts and finish drawings that I owe some people.
