Tarts! - SamRI

All craft projects are kind of at a halt due to lack of funds, and lack of black perler beads :( I had a safeway gift card so I decided to bake something! I chose...tarts! Blackberry to be exact. I have no clue how they turned out tastewise....I'll be trying them later today.


[EDIT] The tarts are basically amazing. Crust is a little too thick...but when the crust itself tastes delicious...it just doesn't matter.

Bubble Bobble towel at 100%!!! Wooo!!! - mochi

IT IS COMPLETED!!! I CAN FINALLY START A NEW PROJECT!!! Although, I have to say...after figuring out how to cross stitch correctly (stitching ALL the Xs in the same direction), I really want to do another cross stitch project. :P I was thinking about figuring out what to do with my yarn stash...I had started a nice little blanket with Rowan Polar, but Rowan discontinued that line (just my luck, it's the second time that's happened to me), so yeah. Finding the same lot of colors and stuff has been a pain in the ass. So I figure I ought to just try and figure something out with the yarn I already have. Oh well, we shall see what happens!

IT'S DONE!! WOO!! I can actually use it now after I run it through the wash!! ^_^

Bub is now complete!! - mochi

Woohoooo!!!! Just one more bubble left, and the towel will be complete!! :D I guess I'll be finished with it tomorrow, providing I have enough attention span for it.

In other news, I have a meeting with Mission Beach Cafe! I'll just be bringing in a resume and meeting with the kitchen manager, and hopefully catch the very busy pastry chef...then hopefully head to Davis for some sushi with my godbrothers. Also, I might get a decorating job at That Takes the Cake, a cupcake place in Marina. I've applied to a dozen other jobs, so hopefully I hear from them soon. I really need a job soon, because after this month I have no more school loans coming in, and I kinda got screwed over at Candybar since the chef took back the offer he gave me to work 2 days a week. Oh well, hopefully I'll find something better and more realistic of a kitchen setting than Candybar is. I also have the option to move back to Seattle or Manila, but I suppose that's another blog entry...I dont feel like typing it all out right now. Don't worry, I'm sure I'll figure things out soon. :)

Anyway hopefully once I get finished with the towel and find a job, I can spare a little money to get more Perler beads to start a new project...I also wanna do something with my fat yarn stash, so we'll see what I come up with this summer!
