Baking Adventure Began!

I have been on blogging break for the last three or four months. Months when I have so many things I wanted to blog about, if only I had the time to do so. My husband was home for a short vacation from work, so most of my time was spent chatting with him, doing more household chores and cooking... oh, a lot of cooking!!!

Last July, we bought a new gas oven and I decided to try baking. Something I have always wanted to do. I was so excited!!! I still am! There are still so many recipes I wanted to try. So, my baking adventure began...

Baking is really fun! My first time, I just used a pre-mixed ingredients. It was a butterscotch mix, where you just add fresh eggs and butter, then mix them all together. I was nervous, but it turned out okay. Yay!!!

I wish Talisay (my hometown and where my immediate family are), is just so near! I feel sad that I was and am not able to have my mama, my nieces and everybody back home taste my baked goods. :(

Back from a short haiatus!

I miss blogging! The past three months have been so hectic. My hubby was home from his short vacation from work, so most of my time was spent chatting with him, cooking and doing more household chores. Now that he's back to work, I'll have the time to spend on the computer and do some blogging again! It keeps me company and allows me to express my thoughts and feelings.

Quotes, Quotes and More Quotes!

Best quotes I want to always remember! So that I won't forget, I am posting them here. It would be easy to find them! :)

"Today You Are You, That Is Truer than True. There Is No One Alive Who Is Youer than You." ~ Dr. Seuss

What's the Occasion?

"What's the occasion"?... My niece asked me that question today, when I asked her opinion about the Chicken Teriyake I cooked for lunch. I always love her opinions because she would really rate it with phrases like, "I really really like it", "delicious, but not so so", "you shouldn't have put this and this" or "i don't really like it"!

Anyway, I was surprised with her question. I told her, there's no special occasion today, I just feel like cooking it. I seldom cook, and when I do, they are new recipes that I just wanted to try. That must be why they are so excited when they see me cooking in the kitchen... it makes them feel it is a special day!

Embellished Wall Organizer

I found this wall organizer in a trift shop. I really don't like the little frog image because it looks so childish, so I thought of embellishing it. I have been thinking of creating something using these cute novelty buttons that I have received from swaps, so I thought the wall organizer was the perfect project!

Here is the before...

The embellishments (I wasn't able to use the ribbons... It would be so easy to trim the edges with the ribbons if only I am using a sewing machine!)

And here is the after...
