Attack in Black

12 Jan2010

nadiaphone

Another felt case for another iPhone. You’ll notice a distinct lack of pastel colours and floral prints. That’s because this one was a request, so my usual nana-style was not welcome here. It turned out alright though, the new owner will probably like it. Sorry if you don’t, Nadia. No refunds. Happy birthday!

It’s beginning to stink a lot like Christmas

final_big-house

Gingerbread time again. I made a big house this year- this one even has a Christmas tree INSIDE. Unfortunately, I made the dough in a bit of a daze and managed to omit the eggs, so the slabs are very tough. Teeth will be broken.

final_dress

I made myself this dress last weekend, and I’m very excited about wearing it in public at some point. I’m not really up for modeling it myself for all you creepy people on the internet, so this is what it looks like on a hedge.

Tasty cliché

finalkoalacakes

This morning I made these chocolate koala cupcakes for some American visitors. My little brother said they look nothing like koalas, but that could be because he’s a jerk.

mums-birthday

Chocolate ganache and raspberry cake for Mum’s birthday dinner tonight. I am reasonably sure I’m going to eat too much, and am wearing a loose-fitting skirt in anticipation.

Too chocolatey for most humans

chocolate-cupcakes

Chocolate bars were on special, so I thought it would be a good idea to top these chocolate fudge cakes with ganache and chunks of Crunchie, Kit Kat, Cherry Ripe, Boost and Peppermint Aero. The result was.. sickly, but to be honest, I’ll probably do it again someday. Also, sorry about the photo- I took it with my phone after getting ganache on the lens.

Crafternoon Tea

18 Aug2009

crafternoon-tea_final

Hi you guys. Sorry for the lengthy silence. Here is a sponge cake I made for my Crafternoon tea party last week. Sponge cakes are great, because they’re mostly made of air, and you need air to live, so nobody has to feel bad about eating the whole thing in one sitting.

final_heathers-purse

Another purse! For Heather this time. You may or (hopefully) may not notice how wonky it is – apparently my sewing machine did not agree with the thickness of this fabric. We got there in the end though.

This is Soph’s new purse. The button is my favourite part.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT1, will you marry me?

final_camera-case

My camera broke 6 days after the warranty was up, so I had to buy a (really awesome) new one. It cost me a whole bunch of money, but fortunately, I didn’t have to spend anything on a case. Yay felt. Also, when linking to the Panasonic site just now, I discovered I was an instant winner of a 32 inch TV because of some promo competition. Rad.
