The Art of Crashing Parties

Recently I've been to an adorable party held by Shimu's Holidays Sisters.
It's call "Coconut : Little Joy♥"

.crown

****** The thing is, I've always liked Shimu's Holidays as a group of artists. Not friends in real life. So when I heard they were throwing a nice heart-warming party that plays music on vinyl and make you feel like you're hanging out in a flower garden with a bunch of Devendra Banharts,

I KNEW I MUST RSVP YES ...even tho I wasn't sure who I was gonna go with. And it sounded like a very very extremely indie friends-get-together party

This, lady and gentleman, is
The Art of Crashing Parties


********I've never crashed any parties before. I mean, at least I must know one-third of the people in the party. And they must be intimately acquainted. So I'd like to share you guys what I have learned from my first time crashing ::


1. First of all, unless it was a huge the more the merrier party,
do not show up uninvited.
when I said "Crash" I didn't mean a complete crash like in the movie "Wedding crasher". You have to KNOW some people there. You just don't know them that much that's all.


2. Choose to crash a party you feel comfortable with.
Find out who's the host? What's gonna in the party?
Are there any interesting activities?
Are there any friends you can join their group in case you go alone?
Choose a party you think you'll have a great time, at least on your own.

oh I definitely feel comfortable with these cupcakes.


3. Never crash a party alone.
I know Will Pharell might have done that in the movie. But that's not the point.
You need a wing. And I mean someone who you enjoy being with no matter what you do.

alone



4. Since you're crashing their party, Don't arrive too early.
You might end up having nothing to do.
Nothing is more boring than being around a crowd of strangers and have nothing to do. This is why I suggested you shouldn't go alone. At least you have someone to bore with, and giggle about why you wanted to come to a boring party in the first place.

5. Be friendly and smile.
Smile to the people you know. Smile to the people you think you know. And also to the people you don't know (if necessary). Smiling is one great way to draw people in to you. Last thing you want is standing there in the corner alone (oh! with a wing actually) all night.

smile


6. Act smoothly like everybody else.
The important thing about crashing is, never let anyone know you're crashing.
You have to relax. Smile, like I said. Enjoy doing this and that
like you're actually friends with them.
Take pictures. Talk to the hosts. Be a part of the party!
,unless you want them to think you're from Mars.


7. Participate in activities.
If you don't want to, then why did you even come here????

At Little Joy♥ party they had these papers and envelopes. You can write to anyone you want, put it in the cute basket, and they'll deliver it for you.

letters
Letters to Shimu's : )


8. Enjoy the party as much as you can.
Go make friends! Go have some fun!
Do the dance! Feel the love! Get down tonight!

play
Remember if the party's not working, you can always go somewhere else.
So there's nothing to lose.


I've never been to a party where most of the people were complete strangers. But that party went well so I feel great! I like doing things I've never done before. And I wanna find new interesting thing to do more.

So I think my next step is to crash wedding parties for free dishes.
Oh oh, just kidding LOL!

Welcome Miss Apple!

After been cutting, sewing, and confusing for hours
and VOILĂ€! I did it!
A new creation from my Merry Melancholy,

Miss Apple back


Put your keys in the right place!
Prevent any scratches that might happen.
Don't have to waste a lot of time finding keys in your bag. They will be found much more easily! (Just... don't forget to put the key holder in your bag though..)


I've already gave this one cutie to my lil sis.
If you guys' interested I might make some of these more,
for sell, of course :p


Wouldn't it be nice if your keys have a new comfy home!

Pockets Full of Rainbow

I got a chance to attend to T-Shirt making workshop at Mood Art & Design School.
I've never made a T- Shirt before! (except one I cut the sleeves off due to the intolerable hot weather) nor I've been with electrical sewing machine (except for the one at My friend's place) but I was having so much fun designing and cutting and sewing and undo-ing and dealing with all the threads I messed up !

Photobucket

This one I designed for people who hate carrying bag with only few items.
You can just put things in your pockets
and READY SET GO!

Let's make yourself a T : ))
Heart Hug!



Ps.
But one thing I can tell you is that
machine was madness.
