  • I wanna share a really cool handicraft project I did when I was on bed rest during the Christmas break!

When I think of embroidery I usually think of very traditional designs so I’m really happy that I found this!

I bought it online from @thecraftcentral & love the modern design that’s sure to make any #PlantitasOfManila’s heart flutter!

It was my first time to try embroidery & I loved it. Super nakaka addict!

Now time to wash it to remove the blue outline. Wish me luck! I’m so nervous!

P.S. I have a weakness for scissors & this Christmas I received THE HOLY GRAIL of scissors! Yup, my MIL finally gave me her vintage @zwilling_de stork scissors that I’ve been drooling over for so long. These EMBROIDERY scissors in the shape of a STORK (not a crane) were made in Solingen, Germany in the 1900s, but they no longer make it. They are a collectible for sure!

This design has been copied all over the world! Even I have the copy in my sewing kit exclusively for cutting thread when I’m sewing. Can you tell which is the copy & which is the original? Swipe to see!

TRIVIA: Did you know these were originally UMBILICAL cord clamps used by midwives (hence the STORK?) and while waiting for labour they’d use them in their embroidery?! (So cool! Thanks for sharing @mariejulieona!) 

The original is so sharp! You can really feel the difference when you’re cutting with it! German stainless steel blades are really THE BEST IN THE WORLD.

  • If you don’t L O V E it or U S E it, it’s CLUTTER!

I always have to remind myself this! Even as a professional organizer! It’s always more challenging to declutter one’s own stuff because of our emotional connection to our stuff.

This is one reason it’s good to hire a professional declutterer as an impartial expert that can hold your hand through the difficult process, and make it easier for you!

You can see my client’ experiences in the TESTIMONIALS! Link in bio!

What about you? Do you feel you need help when you Declutter? Do you feel overwhelmed?
