Countdown: Best posts!

Here comes the last post of the year for Ringology! Join me as I look back on the 260 posts of 2012 and announce the 'most viewed' for each of the categories. We've seen some amazing designs and designers and it's been a real pleasure discovering and sharing them with you!

First category is the DIY/ creative projects, and the prize goes to...  Moss Grafitti!! Thanks to the share from viewers this post went viral! A big thank you to my friend Alex who shared this project with me. 

The most viewed under the product design category is... Yum Yum Cover!  This was an instant hit. 

Accessories is a tough competition because I've introduced so many amazing and interesting designs.  This year the crown goes to, Bow Tie USB.

I always enjoy sharing food and eateries I experienced. It looks like Open Door Policy in Singapore won this category. 

I love to travel so it's very exciting that I can share experiences from a trip with the readers here. The post on Sofitel So Bangkok, which was a part of my birthday trip ranks number one!

Wedding related posts are always popular and it's one of my favorite topics too. Enchanted Spring Flowers takes the cake in this category with its beautiful photos.


And last but not lease, the overall winner for the MOST VIEWED post of 2012 is ... My bow tie nail design ;) I'm pretty excited that it's my original post!

If you recognized the posts mentioned above, thank you for your continued support. If these look new to you, hope you stick around for more in the upcoming year!

Thank you all for a wonderful year and see you in 2013!!

TSUJIRI

I went down to the Amara hotel in Tanjong Pagar this weekend to try the new TSUJIRI cafe from Japan.  It was really funny seeing an Indian boy stirring up my maccha but overall I'll say they lived up to the expectation and the Tsujiri name.  The maccha soft serve was amazing :)

I would rather have champagne!

I have both of these prints hanging on my refrigerator! Nothing a nice glass of champagne on a friday can't fix. Happy weekend everyone!

This looks perfect for the holiday season :) 'Bourgeois bow' stud earrings from Kate Spade.

DIY Christmas Yarn Tree

My 2012 Christmas tree is finally up :) This year I was inspired by a project from Rogerseller I introduced previously.  Hope you like it more than last year's!

All I purchased for this project was 2 balls of yarn from Daiso. That's a grand total of $4 dollars! 

First step is to create the triangular tree frame for the yarn to be strung.  I used thumb tacks instead of nails to minimize the damage on my wall.  Then just string away~.  It was my first time stringing but I didn't plan too much and just had fun with it.  Theres no one right way of doing it so everyone will have different results, and thats the beauty of it :)

I planned to make pompoms for ornaments but I stopped half way through the process. I realized the roundness of the uncut pompom balls look very cute.  

And the yarns will rolled up again and reused for another project after Christmas :)
