The Story of Patchwork....

Do you know the definition of Patchwork? Patchwork is a fabric ensemble that is created when smaller pieces of fabric, also called patches, are sewn together. Large pieces of patchwork can be created by joining random or identical patches, or by first sewing pieces of fabric in smaller blocks, then joining the blocks.

I really love patchwork and used to handsewn the patches and took me for long time to finished the patches....sob..sob..sob..coz I don't have the sewing machine. One day, I shall have one....Ok, I will share my handsewn patchwork later...

Now, here is my handmade Patchwork card......Tada..!!!

My Handmade Recipe Book...

I have always loved recipe book. Previously, my recipes are all over the place, I wrote in the diary, put in the plastic folder, etc. So, I have decided to organize my recipes by creating homemade recipe book. The homemade recipe book will look so cute in your kitchen, and after all help to organized your recipes too.

This is a very simple project that can be done in stages. So, once you get started and design your cover and label your dividers, you can get a few recipes started and insert more as you go. This recipe book also make a great personalized gift for special friend even you can pass it to your daughter (that's what I have planned to...) and something that they can keep forever. Here is my simple recipe book. Most of the items used are from recycle thing or some stuff that I love...

Front cover using board and scrapbook paper

Front cover - I used recycle envelope as a pocket to insert any recipes that I have found. I used to buy some stuff from Jim Thompson shop and I really love their wrapping paper envelope and kept it for so long..,so I have decided to used that as a divider to put my favourite related cooking stuff...
