My new toy

George Clooney didnt have to do much to convince me to give it a change, and am i glad i did.

Introducing what i think is the best coffee machine:

I got a bit too excited testing all the different flavors yesterday ... after 3 shots of espresso ... i think overdosed on caffeine ... LOL ... but it was YUMMY

All you cafes out there.. you aint gonna get any more $$ out of me from now

Another baking session

This time its a chocolate zucchini cake.
As strange as it sounds, it actually tastes really good. Recipe is taken from Clotilde's blog. Because my cake looked a little ugly.. i though i would cover it up with ganache to hide the uneven surface! smart right? hahaha

Do try it :)

Pandan Cake

I'm back... after a loooooooong break :)

Back to knitting and baking ... fingers crossed i will continue to update this blog regularly

My first attempt at a chiffon cake. Recipe is taken from Aunty Yochana's Cake Index. There are HEAPS of good recipes there ... i think i will be busy for a while :) In fact, i've been to her place for a baking lesson whilst i was in Singapore last week

Not too bad i reckon, except i should have taken it out properly, some of the brown bits on the top of the cake came off as i took it out from the cake tin ... sigh, why can't i be more gentle?

Anyway, its yummy, i am pleased with myself.

Another sock?

and why not? i love them...

here's my attempt at Cookie A's Pomatomus ... toe up...

yup...brave eh? we shall see... i hope i dont get stuck as i progress with great trepidation ....

fingers and toes cross xoxo

Finally a FO

Finished my Anastasia Socks finally... and I love them! I used Tofutsies bought from Helen and Ann and they are fantastic! the yarn is a tiny wee splity but its so soft... i will definitely be knitting with it again. Whilst i love my new socks... i couldnt get them off quick enough yesterday after posing for a photo shot... it was a REALLY hot and humid day... reminds me of good old Singapore :)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Its been a big year for us and I am glad we survived it! Whilst i need to be careful what i wish for, but i do look forward to another exciting year ahead :)

All the best and God Bless for a wonderful Christmas and Prosperous New Year !!!

xoxo

Hoot!

Finally... this was on my list of "To-Dos"

Together with Eunice... we manage a pair each.. here's mine :)

cute eh?

If i had a sewing machine, i think we could have managed a lot more! We have heaps of materials left over... will no doubt be making more... but first, i need to borrow a sewing machine!

Instructions on how to make these can be found at Moonstitches' tutorial

Finally!

You must be thinking when is she ever going to post another knitting related post.... tada! .... here it is.... Cotton Anastasia Socks... :P




I know .. I know... its way overdue... but better late than never?

A little more and i will be up to the heel - Good progress for my standards


These are being knitted with Tofutsies. First time knitting with this yarn, and other than being a tad splitty, i quite like the texture. Plus... i REALLY love the color... its pink... what you expect? \(^0^)/
