it's so warm, even Eva didn't complain when i chased her into the cage for bedtime.

phew.

anyway! here's my latest, it's a lemon meringue pie, practicing my cream techniques! i luvs it ^ ^

will make more pies tomorrow...i think...

busy days again...

this will be pretty obvious to miniature makers ;P

i was walking around with my cousin and i managed to spot these two tiny bottles on display. i asked how much they were (i usually purchase mine in a pack of 5 for SGD4.90, it's a 'nail art kit') and she said $2 per bottle. i politely declined even though i was tempted, since these were hard to find in Singapore. as i walked off, she beckoned to me and said those were her last two bottles, so she'll let me have them for $2 total! whee! i still think it's alot more expensive than if i ordered online (albeit in bulk), but i still thought it a steal!

cousin then went to get her eyebrows shaped, and i saw that the parlour carried many more other colours of the micro beads. for the same sized jar, the saleslady quoted me SGD$25!! omg! i rolled my eyes and said "NO THANKS, it's TOO EXPENSIVE"....she didn't even flinch, she simply turned and asked if i would like my eyebrows shaped instead...for SGD$5.

-_-"""""""""""""""""""
it's cousin's hols, and she decided to come play with me ;P our mini adventures begin here! let's unveil it tomorrow to see if it's successful :O
old stuff ...i still have to work on my caning skills but i think i'm slowly getting there....slowly............

on a side note, i've found what has been irritating my left eye. i think a tiny splinter of balsa wood got in :( i tried tweezing it out (it's on the inside of my lower left eyelid) but to no avail. i know i shouldn't have, but really! i thought it would be easy...it sure didn't hurt when i dug at it HAHA.

eva's in her cage now. not just because it's bedtime, she's taken to 'naughty' puppy stuff like chewing shoes. *heavy sigh* i really hate caging her up, but i don't want to encourage such behaviour...what am i to do? :(

my first proper hand made furniture item!

no vanity items to fill it with :( i found these 2 bottles, though i think they actually belong to a food set > < time to make some i guess!

bf says the drawer front looks weird with the print, but i think it gives it character :P only reason why it's there is cos i had spare paper lying around LOL

all packed up, neat and tidy! gonna varnish it tmrw when i'm not so tired and see how it works out ^ ^

am soooo pleased with the outcome! it was pretty interesting working with balsa wood for the first time.... btw, am i supposed to sand first then piece them together or finish up the item then sand??? *puzzled* i'm such a noob!

another macaron tower experiment

roti pranchis aka french loaf?

Originally uploaded by Snowfern

my first time doing breads! I LOVE IT!

in singapore, there is a version of french loaf that's also known as roti pranchis, where the slit is cut straight down the middle, and it has a slightly softer crust than traditional baguettes (I think, have never been to france :X )

here is my mini version of it :) i'm quite proud of it, save for the fingerprints, which are not really very obvious unless you're looking for it....

let me know what you think of it? constructive criticisms always welcome :)

measures 4.5cm by 1cm.
