Be Back Soon

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

I’m going to be taking a blogging break for awhile, I picked up the parts for my new computer yesterday, only to see that they sent the wrong motherboard. So it will take atleast another week until I get the new one & then there will be some building & fixing.

Medieval tunic with a twist

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

My lovely friend Clara asked me for help, she wanted a pattern for a medieval tunic. I was happy to help her, so I drafted a pattern & decided to make one for myself to test the pattern.

Kimono Jacket & heart apron

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

I’ve had the idea for this jacket in my head since september last year, so I thought it was about time to do something about it. When I was cutting out the pattern I realised I didn’t have enough fabric, so I had to fiddle abit, but it turned out well.
The brooch is made [...]

Granola

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

Chocolate peanut granola, Yummy. Saw this on BBC Food, Nigella, a breakfast episode. The first time I made it, well let’s just say it tasted abit burnt & there was far too much of it.
This time I halved the recipe & after watching the program again, noticed that she said 25g of cacao, but the [...]
