Just Like That: Re-fashioned Top
http://rp-justlikethat.blogspot.com/2014/11/re-fashioned-top.html
Tuesday, November 4, 2014. I've had this light knit pullover for a while now and have barely worn it twice because it clings to all the wrong curves and it's neck is very deep. I, with my very limited sewing skills, decided to make it wearable by extending the width and length with some fabric. I figured even if I ruin it, it wasn't getting used anyway - all I'll lose is a the time spent. The fabric I used for the extension panels was a small silk scarf that I've had for ages and had barely been used too.

Just Like That: January 2015

Friday, January 9, 2015. Reading Challenge - 2014. This year I reduced the number of books for the challenge because I felt a bit rushed last year and I knew that I was going to have a busier 2014. I managed to complete the challenge well in time so that I could go on my break without feeling the pressure to read - that's no way to enjoy a book. Here are some of the books from this year that I think deserve a mention - for better or for worse. Has completed her goal of reading 75 books in 2014! What real...

Just Like That: Growing Lemongrass from Stalk
http://rp-justlikethat.blogspot.com/2014/11/growing-lemongrass-from-stalk.html
Wednesday, November 19, 2014. Growing Lemongrass from Stalk. Recently I tried making a lemongrass cooler at home and it turned out refreshing. I also learned that I could easily grow my own batch of lemongrass with the store-bought stalks. I took 2 stalks, chopped off the green leaves, and removed the tough outer layers of the stalk without damaging the root. These I kept in a glass filled with 2 inches of water which I changed everyday. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Promote Your Page Too.

Just Like That: Serial Watcher
http://rp-justlikethat.blogspot.com/2015/03/serial-watcher.html
Monday, March 30, 2015. I am one of those who will proudly proclaim that I don't waste time watching TV.then mutter under my breath that I download things to watch instead. There are just so many shows and so little time to watch them all. Here are the ones I have been hooked to in the last few years - some of them I have binge-watched for weeks to catch up on all the episodes (not recommended). UPDATE: They just screened the finale and it was very satisfying to watch. It gets annoying to follow the on-a...

Just Like That: December 2014

Wednesday, December 17, 2014. Tis the Season to be Jolly. These cards were made from buttons and bows. Although the buttons were easy to stick to paper, the beads had to sewn. And to make sure the thread didn't unravel, I glued the line of stitch on the inside. These tiny crystals were a boon - they come in a variety of colours and are easy to stick onto most surfaces. The Snowflakes. Since I was short on time, I also revamped some of my earlier cards to make them seem a little more festive. Rang-Decor {...

Just Like That: April 2014
http://rp-justlikethat.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 28, 2014. The French, we have heard through ages, are very rude. That made us a bit apprehensive to travel to Paris but my research showed that if you just say hello and thank you at every given opportunity, you should be fine. And we were. The trains were a little crowded so getting in and out with the luggage was problematic. Good we were travelling light(ish). Some stations do not have elevators or escalators so be prepared to carry your bags up and down some stairs. We decided to walk d...

Just Like That: Thoughts on Weddings
http://rp-justlikethat.blogspot.com/2014/10/thoughts-on-weddings.html
Tuesday, October 21, 2014. No matter how cynical the world seems to get, and how much ever the ceremony is derided as just a piece of paper, it has not lost its popularity. We just returned from my sister's beautiful wedding ceremony and it was all we had hoped it would be. It was classy, filled with love and happiness, and the families got to know each other sharing laughs and stories. You wouldn't want to be so dependent on someone that you cannot function without them, but oh to be in a great marriage!
