A Therapeutic Game A Day

I Love this game site. It is not like usually game. They are so delight and serenity. The entire site gives me such feeling. You should try it. I love to go play them sometimes when I feel bored. Not because nothing to do...Just feel bored, bored. Hop you know what I am talking about ^_________________^. The graphics are so cute. I love their music especially. They put the mild classic music with them. Makes you very relax. Also entertain your mind.

Bag, Bag, More Bags

Here are more bags!! I have been busy making over them. I re-sized the Eco green bags, the big one. These are smaller. Smaller but still have big room for carrying stuffs for you. I made a small bag for them this time. It turns out more neat and lovely.

I do love bags, boxes and baskets, any sizes, any materials. Just can't stop to make more and more. You also can use them to organize your house. Usually don't worry about get dirty. If so, I will just through into laundry.

These are my favorite fabric - Olivia piglet. She is such a lovely girl. Especially her red dress. There are more will come. They will be posted my Etsy shop later.

I Hear Bird Singing....

Trying to pick a big snow block

It's February but I hear bird singing this morning. A little weir.... Usually they won't come back so early. Still cold here although it is sunny today. I keep looking where are they but still can't see one.

Many Glacier Park - It is still very deep

I love birds. They are just like a flying angel. I like summer time they build nest under the roof edge. Watching them working. Busy for in and out. It could take me long time to watch them. I know some people don't like it. Sometime they break their nest, try to kick them out, because they are noisy sometimes. I don't care they are noisy at daytime because I know it is sunny shine if they are singing.

Where are you, Bird?

Happy Anniversary!

It has been four of year today. Time fly so fast. It is like just a glance. :) February is our big month. Me and my hobby's birthday, anniversary and my father-in-law's birthday are all in this month.

This is first time I try to make a cake for our Anniversary. I am not good in baking although I love to. Most of time I failed. Couple of experiences made me feel very frustrated so I did not bake often. However, this time I think it turns out very good - soft and consistency. Look still not very good because it cracked in the top surface. I don't why!?? I still glad to make it for our anniversary.

I found this recipe in the Hershey's Kitchens website - Easy Chocolate Layer Cake. One of reason I use this recipe because I out of my milk ^____________^ ||| So I need to find some recipe which does not need milk. Also, just like the name "Easy". I love easy!

Below is the recipe for you if you want to make one. When I melted chocolate bar, I boiled a pot of hot water, put chocolate bar on the top of hot water with a classes bowl. I think this way should be better. I tried to use microwave, it took longer time and did not look right (to me!) Also I put the wrong one wrong ingredient - "baking power!!!". I should put baking soda, but I put baking power for mistake. I was so panic because I don't know how can I to fix it. Anyway, it's like nothing happened. :) Lucky me!!

Valentines day - Miss My First Annie

Miss my Annie today. She is a such sweet girl but she is no longer with me. She was sold out. Hope she is happy with her new family. I made her in 2005. When I finished the making, I could not off my eyes on her. She was my FIRST doll. First time I design and create her. I am such a bad person I think. How can I sold her out. She was my "First" doll. I think I will make another one because I really miss her. Though, it will not be the FIRST one anymore.

Happy Valentines day Annie!
