Fruit Cream & Berries Cassis Mini Felt Cakes

Ah.... Been neglecting the blog for quite a few days. :P Being home makes me complacent - daily activities consist of eating, sleeping, onlining and watching TV. Even the fun of crafting seems to be wearing off. :/

Back in KL, I bought a Japanese craft book that shows how to make felt cakes. Tried making two cakes from there.

{ Fruit Cream Cake + Berries Cassis Cake }

There's a technique stated in the book that uses make-up blusher for dusting felt cakes to make the colours sort of nicer. I used my sis's pink blusher for the berries cassis cake sides - can see shades of darker red near the top.

{ Choo~ }

{ I like this shape :) }

It's quite tedious, making small individual parts, like little white cream blobs for the fruit cream cake. I had to cut out 45 pieces of half-circles out of white felt before I could assemble them into blobs. If there's one thing I don't like about working with felt, it's cutting out shapes. ^-^" Especially tiny ones that require patience, which is never a virtue of mine.

{ Looks so pure and fluffy ♥ }

{ Yummy ♥ }

Making these re-ignited that crafting-love in me. I hope to make more felt cakes, instead of sticking my face at the computer or on my pillow. ^o^

A Long Spell of Laziness

It's been a looong week of lazing about the house. I think nothing of climbing into bed after breakfast, and sleep a good two hours, then waking up for lunch. And then sleeping again after lunch. T-T You don't have to see me now to know that I'm growing into a pig.

Well the best part about being home, apart from good food and all the time in the world, is my sis's company. We watched movie after movie every night, curled up in her bed. I love it just how her laugh makes me laugh. :D
Sis wanted to make tarts the other day. I helped. :D

{ Messy table... }

{ Egg tarts. Not bad, but I prefer the layered crispy type of tart shell. These are like short-crust pastry. }

In a rush to get to the airport the other day, I only realized it now that I forgot to bring back a few things. Among them was my whole set of polymer clay. T-T

AHHH!!!!!!! MY POLYMER CLAY!!!!!!

I can't do anything without it la. T-T

I can only do felt crafts la this hols. T-T

{ The clay parts are made earlier this year. }
