365 update!

week 4

week 5

week 6

the days i forgot to take pictures i printed out pictures that inspired me instead. and because i had to do a lot of catch-up, i didn't have time for much embellies, was just mostly photos and journalling. (:

on impulse, i made these banana walnut muffins last tuesday. i found the recipe, checked if i had the ingredients and made them straightaway! they made for great breakfast with tea on wednesday morning. (crf earlier post)

and then yesterday, i made this grab bag on impulse too! i've been  in a rather creative slump. thats why squiggletown hasn't had much updates and i haven't really been scrapbooking. i'm really pleased with the result because usually i shy away from sewing patterns - too many words and instructions and prep work. but i really liked how the bag looked from the picture, so i decided to try it. after some trial and error - taadah! andrew liked it. i loved it! its even got little pockets on both sides for keys and random cash, lipbalm and all.

i added this little detail - crochet flower with wooden button. 

well, need to get back to work (:

ttfn!

best banana walnut muffins that i've ever made!

okay this was so impulsive, i found this banana walnut muffin recipe and decided to make it there and then (thank God i had all the ingredients i needed). the recipe had more than enough batter for 1 dozen, so i used my silicon mini muffin trays and cups. turned out pretty good i must say. its comparable to those i've eaten outside. unfortunately, i kinda forgot about the 2nd batch, and they got too brown (just a shade short of being burnt. haha. ahwells.) the crispy outside its not too bad, i guess. but i'm glad its airy and the walnuts add a nice bite. (: time to buy more flour and walnuts! think i might make this for v'day as presents... 

ttfn!
