Bento #43

Had a buzy day and no chance of completing and uploading this post earlier!
I did my 4km in 50mins this morning :( There was one refuse truck, two other walkers (including DH!) and nothing much else. Well, other than one of my neighours who was complaining about a couple of white hairs she recently spotted in her crowning glory. She asked me if I had any... I replied "I have hundreds!" so whats her couple!

Breakfast was my usual small helping of milo flavoured oats with half a banana sliced into it, a slice of papaya and half an orange.


Today's bento consists of half portion of white rice, one piece of curry chicken, braised tofu pok, stir fried bok choi and honey dew.

~ more bento party purchases ~


The above are some throw pillows I had done up for a repeat customer. She ordered a 3-seater fabric sofa last year (see small swatch in the background). The blue fabric used for the throw cushion helps to update it for the coming Raya. The floral throw cushions are made from remnants of fabric used for her two occasional chairs I had repaired and reupholstered for her! The chairs came to me ~ one was broken into two and the other slightly better, the backrest threathening to fall apart any time! And boy! was she happy with the results. Yeah! another satisfied customer. Think I will miss this trade!

Wow. I didn't know you are so 'keng'. The throw cushions are gorgeous. And I'm sure the chairs were fantastic. No wonder the customer was so satisfied. My question is why will you miss the trade?

Oh btw, I did not sew them! Done up - means sitting with the client, going through a ton of sample books before they can decide which color for sofa, and then which color for the accessories. Sometimes their whole family needs to come over and arrive at an uanimous decision for the fabric!

Did you notice that your lunch theme and the colors of the cushions are the same except for the blue one? LOL! BTW I've got cutters for you!

Oh, you're leaving - where to? I hope it's still somewhere around here, then I can still drop things off to you. Hehe....

Well, that still qualifies you as an interior designer.... hehe....
