Feel free to click the CC button to follow along~ episode 84 | finding my joy for crafting again Hi friends, I have been wanting to get back to crafting for the longest time ever and kept putting it off to wait for the “right time” to start. Luckily, life works in mysterious ways to get you going when you don’t. Recently, I chanced upon an easy, DIY lantern reel from @Sibster. and got inspired to try my hand at making own as Mid-Autumn Festival was coming up. The best part is that it upcycles used teabags and disposable chopsticks I already had lying around. It’s amazing how these simple items came together to create such a cozy, rustic lantern that adds so much character to our dining table. Midway through crafting, we also went back to the Teochew restaurant we held our wedding at to celebrate our anniversary. Safe to say, the food was incredible as always, and getting to eat my favourite Orh Nee (Yam paste) made my heart so full! 👋🏻 If you enjoyed this vlog, don't forget to Like, Comment, and Subscribe for more cozy content~ .................................................................................................. 🎥 Timestamp 00:00 Preview 00:42 A very late breakfast 02:46 Current book series obsession 03:28 Prepping teabags from breakfast 05:15 Decorating teabag papers with pressed flowers and chopsticks 07:34 Celebrating anniversary at Zui Yu Xuan Teochew Cuisine 12:20 Mounting frame for lantern 13:37 Assembling the lantern 15:17 Lighting up the lantern 16:06 Brewing tea for a cozy evening 17:11 Savouring mooncakes from La Levain 🎵 Like the music?
