Belladreamer, Bellacaprichosa... Bella.

Hello, by now you may know that I love to decorate and make pretty things, well at least for me they are pretty so I keep on making them.. lately I have been pondering of what new projects to work on this year, and so I have been sharing my thoughts to my little brother...


[photo grabbed from Mel Araneta's dreamcatcher album]

I told him I would like to make dreamcathers and tiny terrariums out of old bottles and light bulbs...I think both would be sooo relaxing to do... but first I am learning how to do both. So, he introduced me to his friend Mel Araneta, a brilliant artist and he makes awesome dreamcatchers!

I will be sharing the results of my studying and decorating and designing with you, wish me the best of luck.

I am also venturing into designing and making pretty accessories, inspired from my fave accessories shop Accessorize... so much to keep me busy already.




I am filled with joy that my hands and their works are truly blessed.

Be blessed as always and enjoy your lovely Sunday my sweet bellas =)

Loves,

sketch ala Sujean ♥

Hello,



I always wanted to learn how to draw and sketch, about a couple of years ago, I started to learn on my own how to. I asked (and okay begged) my brother, cousin and friends to teach me too, and I always ended up drawing hearts and apples haha! Oh and I am also good with flowers too!

About a year or so ago, i stumble upon this beautiful and talented lady named Sujean and fell inlove with her drawings (mostly in water colours) so I tried, attempted and willed to sketch and draw... and to my surprise... ooh la lah! *wink* haha =)



The posted drawings I have here are copied from the works of Sujean Rim, a very talented lady from New York.




So my sweet readers, Feast your eyes (wehe) and if you are not satisfied, go and have a look at Sujean's works... you will be awed and fall in love with her creations too! =) but if you are awed by my drawings, well thank you very much!



She inspires me so much on this aspect, and I am thrilled and honored to meet her even via an online social network (that most of us are addicted to (sounds guilty!)).

Wishing you sweet and creative inspirations each day...

L♥ves,
Darelam

timeless treasures...

Hello loves, I am pleased to introduce you to my new companion in writing...

The good old pal typewriter I named - tender letters



When I was a teenager, I used to borrow my Dad's typewriter to write my poems, letters to my best friends, short stories and all those sorts of creative writing stuff...

But we lost the old pal to a flood in November 2000, the flooding of November 2000 brought so much devastation to our home... we lost a lot of the valuable things that my parents work so hard for... and all my work including our good and reliable typewriter was lost.

Last December, I was telling my husband that I may be able to buy a second hand typewriter from BooksActually... when he suddenly remembered that their family has an Olympia which no one uses anymore, and he will ask his sister if they can give it to me =)

Alas! His lovely sister agreed and have prepared Tender Letters so we can bring her back to Singapore...

Now I can write new adventures with tender letters... and share notes of more timeless treasures with you all =)

Have a tender and lovely evening.

Loves,
