Lucky I live Hawai'i!

Aloha!

Sunrise in North beach, Kailua

I have lived in Hawaii since 1998, i was 12 years old. Moving from the Philippines, it was totally different moving here. Things seemed nicer, cleaner and safer.  Today, I wanna share pictures to express how thankful I am that God placed me in such a beautiful place I now call, "home".

I like to hike every chance I get with family and friends.  My husband is only limited to easy hikes because he doesn't like heights very much.  

There's rainbow in Hawaii almost everyday. You can't help but stop and look at the pretty colors, just like a kid all over again, except this time you appreciate it because of its beauty, not cause there's a pot of gold at the end of it. :)

Sometimes, my husband and I bike to the beach and lay out, have a picnic for a couple of hours and even have ice cream. For this picture below, I had to put these ice cream in a bag filled with ice :)

Flowers are also another beautiful thing in Hawaii...I love flowers. My grandma loved her plants, especially roses and I remember watering them when she wasn't able to.

Other than sunrise, view of mountains, ocean and flowers, the sunset in Hawaii is just breathtaking.  You can never have enough pictures of sunsets. This first picture below is very special to me, my husband proposed to me here :)

I am just so thankful and blessed to live in a place people often call 'paradise'.  Always have a camera on hand, because every moment is a perfect moment worth keeping and remembering. "Take a picture, it'll last longer".

What are you thankful for?

Nursing Scrubs

Aloha!

         Trendy nursing scrubs are the 'in' thing nowadays, at least in Hawaii, that is.  Two Christmases ago I made my sister-in-law a nursing scrubs top.  She loved it because of the unique print and her co-workers loved it as well.  Although mostly everyone loves the tokidoki-ish anime cartoon design, there are also who likes Aloha/Hawaiian print scrubs-for those who are not so 'wild'. ha ha

Like what people always tell me, "why don't you sell those?".  I tried to post the sample scrubs on craigslist to see if anyone would be interested, and yay! A costumer ordered not 1, 2, 3 but 4 scrubs which she ended up liking very much.

Nursing Scrubs - $18

My niece was a nurse for Halloween 2010. So cute...

trick or treat, little RN

..I made her a couple of pair of nursing scrubs which she now uses as pajamas. =) 

We're already thinking what she should be for this year's Halloween.

Diaper Bag

Aloha!

This is my first blog, so bare with me. :)


I've recently made a diaper bag for my sister-in-law's baby shower in Dec.2010 and people thought I should start making some more and even selling it. 


The one I made my sister-in-law's was my very first diaper bag and I started it around 10 pm and finished at 7 am the next day, with little breaks in between.  I had to finish it or else we wouldn't have anything to give to her for her baby shower, yikes!

     There it is..and she loved it. She gave birth in Jan 2nd to a beautiful baby and she still uses the bag. Whew, Thank goodness for double stitching, for durability. :)

Anyway, I have made more bags after that because people requested them, not only as diaper bags but some use it 'jus because' it cut, as a regular messenger bag. :) They are $35-$40 each. Here are some of the pictures:

Red Doki - very cute
