Update 2.11.12

Hi everyone.  It has been a while since my last post here. The thing is.. I'm on my last trimester of pregnancy and it has been a little bit too tough to do thing or move around, so I take my holiday break to regain some  energy before baby due date.  I hope I can re-open my etsy shop (thisisjoon.etsy.com) soon.  I miss my work already.

Have a nice weekend everyone

Online magazine I like // Babiekins issue 10

Hello Monday!

Babiekins Magazine Issue 10

It feels great to get back on blogging again because I have more spare time, woo-hoo! My babybear's nursery is nearly done.  I'm working on decorating the ikea curtain that will cover my office shelves. (#ikeahack) more pictures to show soon.

And while working on that project - getting more inspiration on Pinterest is a must on the list of my daily routine. Today I found a link of pin for a kid's room (via Helena c, Thanks).  It's for Babiekinsmag and I check it out and I love it.  There are kid's fashion, room's decor and much more.  It's a lovely online magazine that filled with inspiration for your little one.  I like that fox cushion (image above) xx

BabyBear Nursery

BabyBear Nursery

Hi, I have latest update on my BabyBear's nursery to share with you.  It's not finish yet, by the way! there are a lot more decoration I want to add into it but at least the main furniture are in place :cot/ armchair/ shelves to store baby clothes and their stuffs and I use my working desk double as a changing station.  I heard that when baby starts to wiggling around or move it will be safer to change their nappy on the floor.

The room is painted in all white, an attempted to make it looks as big as possible, (It's a very small room unfortunately, half nursery / half my mini-office).  Also we don't know it's a boy or girl? so I try to keep it neutral as possible and add accent colours into it when baby is born. Right now I think white-grey-orange are good for any gender.  And also few curtains need to add to cover shelves and the nooks next to chimney to hind my office from sight.  I will have more picture to show when I have done it.

Thanks for pop in xx

Pom Pom project // twig branch

Pom Pom twig branch by Thisisjoon

I've been dread to make one of my own for a long time.  Here my own verion of Pom Pom twig branch!!

This project is super easy.  All you need are ::

• Pom Pom > few of them in the colour you like, I recommend stick with only 2-3 colours, unless you like rainbow style // You can get them from my shop Thisisjoon 
• Dry Twig > free! if you pick them from your garden, a park or while you out for a walk.
• Vase > I got mine from a charity shop, 50p bargain! and any vase or old jam jar will do.
• Hot glue gun or super glue
• *Decoration items (option) You can use only pom pom or add artificial cotton bird like mine.

How to :: arrange your dry twig in a vase / glue pom pom to the twig (stick them in variety angle and leave some gap between them) / add decoration items if you have some.  and voila! done.

Have fun!

I am setting up a competition to win a set of mixed-pom pom soon. Check out my facebook page and twitter @joonhiggins for more details xx

Update // My office My stock

Hi, It has been a while since I blog as being a first time mum has a lot of things to prepare and learn and it's start to taking it tolls on me. The tiredness and lacking of energy are making it harder to do or finished anything, including my work on my Etsy shop.


However I try and I "n-e-a-r-l-y" finish sorting out my office and give way to nursery.  So that mean I can start to concentrate on my business again.

By the way, as this spare bedroom is going to be A NURSERY / MY OFFICE so I planned to hide all my files and tools in columns in the the chimney (which you can't see here in the photo - its opposite the window) and make it looks more like a nursery.

Will have more photo and progress of working to show here soon...

Have a nice weekend everyone xx
