Butterfly Dress

This is my 100th post.. yeayyyy… can’t believe I wrote that many. I made this dress specially to be posted today as my last post in the year 2014, my last DIY project this year, and my 100th post. One of my goals is to reach 100 posts by the end of 2014, and I am happy that it’s accomplished. Year 2014 has been a fantastic year to me, hope next year will bring even more joys and blessings … and I am hoping the same to you!

Why butterfly dress? because it’s made for next summer dress, because the lace around the shoulder and sides looks like butterfly to me, and because soon my little baby is hitting new milestone her 2nd birthday when she is officially becoming toddler.. just like caterpillar transforming to butterfly 🙂

I found this beautiful writing in my ObGyn Office….

The Universe yet incomplete

on the sixth day GOD created her

WOMAN

and GOD said to her

I shall give to you

a heart full of compassion

a spirit free to fly with the birds

a vessel to carry life into the world

wisdom to know the great truths

courage to rise out of oppression

strength to move mountains

gentleness to kiss the earth

passion to set the world on fire

vision to respect the earth that bore you

a playful nature to dance with children

laughter to fill the valleys

tears to wash pain away

hands for laboring and loving

intuition to know the unknown

desire to be that which you were created to be

and GOD said to her

WOMAN

I have created you in My image and likeness and

YOU ARE GOOD

Raspberry CupChocolate

Last week I made cream puffs for our church community christmas gathering and had prepared melted chocolate for drizzling on the top, but it was quite a busy morning with the baking, cooking, baby bathtime, feeding, and since it’s christmas day I needed extra time to dress up nicer than usual… at the end I had no time to drizzle the chocolate ( because it needed to be melted again as I made it too soon in the morning). So here it is, the dessert I made using those chocolates, Rapsberry Cupchocolate… instead of Raspberry Cupcake 🙂

I melted the chocolate again, poured and molded it to the silicon cups, then stored them in fridge for them to harden.

Once they are ready, which is not long, gently take them out and store again in the fridge until you want to use them.

I made fruit tart pastry cream for the filling and added rapsberry on the top. It is easy, quick, and also pretty for dessert. Enjoy!

Birdies Duo Tops and Hat

This duo tops sewing project was started first with sewing the reversible hat. The hat pattern is from Oliver S free pattern… This was the first time I used ready pattern instead of the one drafted by myself. When the hat was finished came the idea of making tops that incorporate both fabric so that they can be worn with the hat. So here they are, Birdies Duo Tops plus Hat. This was also my first time making top, the clothing projects I made for my little one prior to this were dresses.
