I've been having a mean streak of bad luck lately, and I couldn't fathom why. Then, all of a sudden, I spot a purple shadow on the periphery of my vision. I whip around, lashing my hands on whatever's invading my privacy -
( and looky whom I got here. )

So I have found a set of awesome films surfing the net today, so I thought I might add them up into a nice pack and set it asde in my journal for future stormy nights.
( On to the list! )
Now if you excuse me I think I'm gonna go and watch  A Stormy Night as it started pouring oputside. :D  'tis a good night.

Oh, it's been such a while since I last posted in this section! It was last year, I think. It doesn't mean, of course, that I didn't cook or bake, but rather that I had less time than savory. I did manage to whip up a magnificent cheesecake for Easter, but it was devoured a lot sooner than I expected, so no pics of that. I gotta make another one, though, it was so good. ^-^

Today's recipe: Northern biscuits. It's like a butterkeks, but with a cinnamon-y ginger flavour. Yes, I canot draw a straight line, tell me something new. And despite their rather dishevelled exterior, they're all what a cookie needs to  be on the inside: sweet and crunchy. ^-^

Interesting fact: noone could distinguish the ginger in it. The cinnamon was an instant hit, but the rest was lost in neuron transmission.

What I have on my to-do list are two recipes reminding me of friends:
blueberry bagels for Ica
and
potato peel pies for Ildikó



ETA: and wattleseed&clementine babas and orange&chocolate muffins I really should stop hunting for recipes, but once I get to it...

I love horses, as you all know. So it's not a big surprise that I've made a
( brown Fresian horse. )

A friend of mine has been a big fan of Asami Ryuichi for a while now. And I've ben a bad friend and not make  her one as the sexiness level of said guy made me freak out. I can do anatomically correct amis, but so sexy? I doubt. But then it hit me that I can do chibi, too! So he became super cute - like this.


(his facial features made me run in circles, though, and I still think the minimalist approach is not the best choice, but time is short, so it'll have to do)

I have this friend who has been bedbound and grounded for a few months now, and taking it quite well so far. since hshe's an English teachr, I thought abpout making her a Royal Guard to protect her health from further assaults and keep her company on her lessons. I've added the very last detail now, and am on my way to hand him over. Wish me luck! :D

So I'm on a Christmas roll! I've been brainstorming for fitting gifts and ideas worth making lastely, and since time is getting kinda short, i set about making them. The first is this wee Christmas pooch for a dog lover firend of mine. hope she'll like it. :D

Once upon a time there was this anime con I attended with a few others. We've had a terrific time, but the price (and in some cases lack) of some plushies got us quite upset. Not me, since I can make amis anytime I want, but the others.... so I decided that the next possible occasaion will see the birth of a gift Mokona for one of the most upset. So, here she is:


Pattern found here.

Oh, isn't this just precious?
