I went for another Maker Nite at Sustainable Living Lab (SL2) as I had a great time last month making the cardboard lamp. This time we made lamps out of glass.

Getting Started on Refashioning - Your Tools

Keen on starting but don't have your tools yet? Here's a list of items that I feel are a must have for anyone who is refashioning their clothes.  Do you have other tools that you think are must haves in your sewing box? Post a comment below!

Red Bean Soup with Chia Seeds

Hello Monday! We had a very eventful Mother's Day yesterday. This is the card that my son gave me. He wrote "I love you" and "Don't get angry" on the inside. :-)

My hubby made me one of my favourite desserts - sweet red bean (adzuki) soup. Chinese desserts are generally non-diary and soup-based.  I thought this would be a good chance to add chia seeds to the dessert.  Chia seeds have been reported to be rich in omega-3 fatty acids, a healthy fat. So, I've been looking around for recipes that include chia seeds but they're mostly either salads or cakes, both of which my hubby doesn't like.
