Timeless

I wonder where is the time flying? Today I feel down so I thought I might have feel better if I sew. So I start to cut and sew and when I looked up at a time is 7 o'clock at night. Are u kidding me? Yesterday supposed to be 1st day of spring but It was super windy... collllldddd... Silly me I wore a thin coat coz I wanted to look good..yesterday was saturday night but then I get dusty when I visited my hubby in d flat so It was a total mistake. Catch cold n dusty on sat night. Great! Today fortunatelly is a sunny day. But what's the point sunny day outside but moody inside?
This dress is a result of a timeless... even poor me I don't have anyone to help me to take a picture

Lace Top

The skirt coming from my unwearable malissa which I took out the top part ..insert elastic and ta da ..turn out to be swingy adoreable skirt. Love it though! The fabric has so many tiny holes..cute... see through
you see... many holes
The black top I made from elastic lace.... transparant...also cute. I follow basic pattern Lidya after i altered. It is just like a shirt. Without zipper nor buttons... I'm so happy. I wore this combination on Indonesian meeting... which lately I find it a bit boring. I just cant go along with them...hehehehe.. This meeting every once a month is basically stuff urself with food... and "please enjoy yourself" or join the "boring" club!
oh whatever.. I think everybody has a right to entertaint themself anyhow. Right?!

Cheese Pound Cake tragedy!

I made this cake the other day for Indonesian meeting (arisan euy!).It was a disaster! the outside was hard and the inside (supposed to be soft n spongy) was uncooked properly. I wanted to cry... Huaaa..why!!??? I follow the instruction alright. And the worse was: i found out that the cake unproperly cook in the morning.
But then I remember I have this instant puff pastry and panna in the fridge. So I bake the plain pastry- filled it with panna mounted mix with cream cheese and garnished with jam. I saved!
puff pastry
NOTE: just have a thought, I tried to whisk the white eggs but i couldnt make it foamy. Might be the cause....
I use this recipe I found on the web (after alteration) : Ingredients : butter (250gr) /package cream cheese, softened (200gr) /sugar (500gr) /6 eggs (separated) /flour (750gr) /baking soda Directions : Preheat oven to 300°F/160 C /Cream butter, cream cheese and sugar together /Add eggs one at a time. /Add vanilla and then flour slowly. /Pour into a bundt pan or Tube pan. /Bake for 1 1/2 hours. /IMPORTANT: Do not try and rush by cooking faster in a hotter oven.
PS: If some cake tragedy like this happen to you.. dont throw away the cake! (I know.. I also get pissed off and intent to chuck 'em away). Instead..slices it thin and bake them again (in d oven or grill.. I grilled them though). They will turn into something like a biscotti /cookies. Taste lovely ;)

Treasure of mine

Posted by Picasa
A pile of new fabric from London.. They came together with my husband hidden in the boot of the car. I treat them like my treasure...hhmmm we'll figure out what to make out of 'em. In d pic they dont look that adoreable... trust me they are lovely..huhuhuhu.. From lace to drappery.. from elastic to sturdy.... from jersey to velvet. My favorite at d moment is d one with so many faces printed.. a bit elastic aswell... good combination so I dont need to install zipper. And the red one on top is good for a "red carpet look"...huaaaaa
