For the Chinese New Year, me and hubby spent 2 days tidy up our room. We tried to tidy up before, but our determinations are not strong enough. Every time we tried, we always kept a lot of useless stuffs with lot of excuses. This year, we made it!!
2015 is a great year for both of us! I made a lot of changes already, i hope to do more. Now our room is very clean and nice, still got some small area need a bit touching up. Finally our room is free of stuffs!!!
I was following instructions from:

I learned how to sew by myself, but didn’t know how to draft my own pattern.
This year I learned how to sew a kurti on YouTube. And it’s still January, I already made 4! By making 4 different kurti, I learned how to adjust the pattern and explore different necklines. I felt productive! I mainly wear them to my Bharatanatyam classes. My next target is sewing a saree blouse for me to wear dance saree. 🙂
Here are the videos I am learning from:
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Enjoy!
Currently watching TV Drama about Lord Shiva:
It is very nice drama for me to know more about different deities involved in Bharatanatyam.
These are the link to different subtitles of the drama:
English subtitles: http://www.youku.com/playlist_show/id_22289076.html
Chinese subtitles: http://space.bilibili.com/2042654
I watched 10 DVDs already, but there is no further updated subtitled episode for me… 🙁
I did a painting of Lord Ganesha in Dec 2014!
I started learning Bharatanatyam from June 2013. Time flied so fast, it is already 1 year and 8 months! I performed a little dance to Lord Ganesha in the recital in Dec 2014.
