fun lights = fun house

since we started project dream house, it has been my goal to have fun and unusual lights in the house. good thing my serious, no nonsense mr. grumpy went along for the ride... ;)

ginormous light bulb in my workroom.:) so light bulb moments will keep on comin'! haha!:)

helicopter light for my little man. since he's obsessed with any form of transportation. i initially wanted to get him the cute motorcycle light but daddy grumpy strongly opposed it. he doesn't want our little boy riding motorcycles.:)

daddy grumpy's office light.:)

my jupiter(?!) light. heehee!:)

half of the DNA helix right there.:)

my little man loooves his helicopter light!:)

even mr. grumpy loves my light. parang pang interrogation room daw my ginormous light bulb. :D

my dainty darling frou-frou

It's been a whirlwind August for me (hence the very late post)...project dream house was completed and I finally graduated from my fashion courses. yeeeey! graduation part 2!;)

Being a graduate of a fashion school and being able to come up with designs that my friends appreciate still sometimes seems funny and surreal to me. My primary intention of why I enrolled in FIP was that I just wanted to learn how to make my own clothes and probably start a small "work-from-home" business by designing and selling nursing (breastfeeding) clothes online.:) But now I'm actually having fun exploring different techniques in pattern making. My sewing skills(?!) still needs to improve though (thank God for super sewers!).:) 

Finally, the conclusion of the stressful but mostly fun FIP school year; August 30 was a big night for the 33 graduates of Fashion Institute of the Philippines. We each showcased our four-piece collection in the Newport Mall in Resorts World Manila. It was both an exciting and stressful night and I was just really happy that I finished my collection in time for the show!:) 

Here's my "dainty darling frou frou". my first fashion babies :)

Inspiration: nursery rhymes and vintage silhouettes 

thanks to models reina, jennifer, shermaine and gwyneth for making my clothes look great :)
