Finally did up one side of the walls


Took a while but I finally did up one side of my wall. You can't see from the photo, but it is made up of two types of photo frames from Daiso. One beveled, the other protruded. I used an Ikea backing (for a big frame) to mark out a square shape in chalk, then used water marks to make sure the frames are straight.

I sorted the photos before I put them up, but I still boobooed on the third level. The peace lily was supposed to be on the left and the succulent on the right. But F it, I am not going to rip a hole in the wall again just to change the sides. The 3M stickers cost me a pretty dime!

What I bought at Daiso today

Popping by my favorite Daiso (a Japanese S$2 shop) today, I found three intriguing buys at its gardening section. Peat pots (which I couldn't find the other time), wind spinners, and slow-releasing vegetable fertilizers. Only S$6.
I tried the peat pots. The instructions said that I should apply 70cc of water and then it will swell to 2 - 2.6 times its size. Oh no it didn't. I waited and waited. In the end, I soaked the whole pot in a jar of water, hoping it will swell a bit. Instead it looks like bits are coming off into the water..zzzz.
I also threw the slow releasing fertilizer, which looks like little blue pills among my sweet potato leaves and edamame plants. The fertilizer ratio is 10-15-10.
