I bake Cake

Have I mentioned here that I bake cake also? I do.... yes I do. I love baking and some of my friends love my work so they order some cakes from me. It's not yet a "business" but it is going there. Here are some of the things I had made.  All pictures are posted in my Baking Album on Facebook.  And here is a sample of what we've made.
This is just a cake we made with my sister for her husband. We made it for a short period of time. As you can see it is not prefect yet... I lack so many tools to make it look better. But I am proud of it. So from now on I will also post some of my baking products.

ps.
Don't forget to share on facebook, pinterest , twitter and more... Please bear with my pictures, I just took them using my phone. Thanks!

ANGRY BIRD AMIGURUMI



ANGRY BIRD AMIGURUMI

It has been quite some time that I haven’t been able to  post here. I am busy crocheting and doing what mother/wife/working full-time is doing.  And I wasn’t able to post anything here yet because most of my projects are all links from other crocheter/blogger.  I enrolled myself to some craftsy classes and here it is . This pattern is the product of what I’ve learned so far.  I learned a lot from Stacet Trock of Fresh Stitches Most of my classes are from her. I choose to make Angry Birds because my son has been bugging me for some time to make one. But he doesn't want a hat. So I brace myself and made this amigurumi for him. He is so happy when it was done. I made some changes in the button of the eye I change it with bigger one.


This  would be the very first pattern that I made. So please bear with me if you find some mistake or not so understandable instructions. Please let me know if you have some suggestions.
