I'm a Malaysian, living here all my life & loving the multi-racial neighbourhood. I have been beading for years, selling my pieces to locals for 2 years now, the encouraging response I got from my local buyers prompted me to try the international market by starting an etsy store in April 2010. It's so exhilarating to know that my handmade stuff are being worn on the other side of the world, places I have never been to!

I'm not sure if I have a best part of my weekend. Guess maybe because I'm going to try to make my marriage work. Part of me would rather just throw it away.
The best part of my weekend was curling up with a new good book that just came in.

The best part of my weekend was getting to lounge around and study intermittently. I love having the day off so I can be lazy and productive off & on! Pretty perfect!
The best part of my weekend so far happened way back on Friday afternoon. It was warm enough to take the kids out to play in the snow. It turns out that sand toys work really well in snow as well! Good times.
Best part of my weekend? Husband sent me out shopping with a girlfriend while he kept the kids! A much needed break. :)
The best part of my weekend so far: yesterday, my husband took care of the children and dinner and let me stay in the studio sewing all afternoon. What a gift!

The best part of my weekend has been creating my baby registry for my little boy that will be born in April!
Let's see... I would have to say the best part of my weekend was helping a family move on Saturday. Wow I actually surprised myself with this one! Well normally I loathe the idea of getting up early on a Saturday and equally despise moving. However after I got there and realized my husband and I were the only two to show up to help and to see how thankful the family was to see us I felt more blessed than them. It was a good learning experience for me. It is truly better to give than receive.
Best part? Finishing all the "puke" laundry from the GO bug that hit our 4 kids this weekend. Hooray!
I work weekends so the best part of my weekend is finally getting to relax with my fiance on Sunday night!
The best part of my weekend is right now. Laying in bed, laptopping and relaxing. :)
Best part of my weekend was having my Saturday afternoon off from my retail position to spend with my new hubby and our neighbors. What can beat a Saturday night with good friends and a new SNL?
On Saturday I got to spend the day with my mom, and a super fun night out catching up with my bestie. Great weekend!
definitely making tamales all by myself for the first time. And, they were yummy!

I *finally* saw Black Swan then spent the evening with my two sisters and our significant others playing just dance and laughing all night long!
The best part of my weekend so far has been working on my wedding dress. I was given a chiffon wedding dress by a friend from work (for free). It was a little big on top, and I took it in and started redesigning the whole thing. I'm getting married in August, so I'll have plenty of time if I make mistakes.
Fave part of my weekend: Warmth!
Forecast for tomorrow: more snow. Boo.
Right now- I'm on a dessert date with my hubby. He's editing photos and I'm catching up on my reader! :)
So far the best part of my weekend was watching my kids tide their ponyfor the fisrt time since the summer! When winter started my son was too small to sit on the pony by himself and now he can! So CUTE!

my weekend was very bleary with funerals and such but the weather was beautiful and a little bit a spring in the midst of winter can make all the difference.
