venue locked in :)

kitty update

Its been thunderstormy lately for weeks at a time.

so the cats have been living indoors in the evenings in the spare toilet :)

the cats seem to love dark small places.. so i have used the cat carrier as a little cat cave for them to feel safer.

lilly (the mum) purrs in the cat cave alot  hehe


sometimes the kitten (milo) goes nuts playing and running and jumping all over the place.. so lilli sits somewhere away from the kitten and watches hehe
 kitty looking slimmer and growing up :( hes getting fast too.. :P


random banana tree in backyard that has bananas :D

not sure if theyre edible.. or if they'l get any bigger...
the cats use it as a scratching post.. ive seen both cats climb up the tree too =____=

kitty post

we took the kitten to the vet last week to get the vaccine shots and check up

we have decided to name the kitten Milo hehe
i got it from Milo and Otis randomly :)

turns out the kitten is a boy....
and he is healthy at 2 months of age with a few fleas which were easy to take care of :)

hes starting to look abit thinner as he's growing.. but yea hes still got his milk belly :P

he sticks to his mum alot more now too. follows and copies mum everywhere hehe




hes able to jump pretty high and far now too @_@ he can jump a foot in length
across the garden and such :P

hes learnt to climb up the flyscreen door too...
we can see where some places on the screen has ripped...

invitation

My best friend is getting married in May

we spent last weekend putting the invitations together.

there was some trial and error to get the invitations looking/rolling ok on paper :P

pretty cool invites i must say :)
the cylinders and scrolls were imported from china
we removed the original paper on the scroll and attached the invitiations.

more kitty updates

kitten is 8 weeks old now :)

shes getting thinner and the rest of her body is catching up to her size

she still has a belly though hehe

she also has a thing for shoes :P

few vids of the kitten playing.. she gets so hyper when she plays now








mother cat got desexed recently..
turned out she was pregnant at the time too @_@

poor mother cat wasnt used to travel by car and freaked out.
we had her in a friends borrowed pet carry bag which she tore a hole in the mesh
in order to get out. poor thing lost a few claws there too :(

she spent the rest of the ride to the vet on my fiance's lap rubbing her head on his face heeheh
marking her territory :P

so i bought a replacement bag for my friend since we wrecked her borrowed one :(
 cute bag too :)
her cat loves it also hehe.. new dark little house for her


Macaron Attempt 3

From the baking class few weekends back:
slight feet on macaron though still a flat macaron


my weekend attempt

still flat n lumpy :(
i put in abit of red colouring to get the peach colour


i didnt have enough cream to do the filling either :(
and it was pouring with rain at the time so i didnt go out to buy more
no feet on these macarons.. flattish too

i think i need to whip the eggs longer

i still find them very sweet to eat
so i wont be attempting to make them too often
still love the texture of them though :)

kitty update









looks like kitty is growing up
she looks more slim and long legged

not so short n wobbly with big body hehe

shes starting to be able to jump pretty  high/far
still quite scratchy n bitey :P

shes eating mushy wet food
and knows how to use the kitty litter

somehow she finds a way out of her pen =\
not sure how she does that yet

random stuff

 funny toilet sign


cute totoro puffs @__@

cake decorating and macaron making class

my friends and i bought a discount voucher for a 6 hour decorating and baking course.

i didnt pay attention to the 6 hour bit =\

soo the first few hours we made macarons
it was cool that we got to mix any colour we wanted :D
i picked a blue while my gfs picked a red.

they looked awesome when they were resting before baking



our first 2 trays were overcooked :( burnt and brown.. and wayyy too hard
we watched our other trays more closely so they wouldnt overcook
the vivid colours faded during baking also :(

 my overcooked blue ones on the left
 the overcooked red ones on the right.. turned a brown orange.. i said it looks like abalone :P
a better batch.. still faded to a greenish but better :)

my greenish macarons with different fillings
peach filling is cream cheese icing
purple is butter cream icing
brown is the choc ganache

next we received trays of ready made normal cupcakes for decorating :D
we learnt how to pipe icing and decorate with sprinkles

how cute are the sprinkles.. theres stars n hearts.. n metalic balls

next we learnt to use fondant icing..
they had premade balls in different colours for us to use

i prefer playing with the fondant.. so much more easier to roll out
and use the cookie cutters

i marbled white n blue together too :D

my gfs made some pretty cute designs too for their fondants
 for valentines day
 cute monkey
amazing weave

we ended up with a box of cupcakes each as well as a few edible macarons

 my box.. i had to take one out to fit the little one in :P

my friends boxes


it was a long day.. but still enjoyable :)
we had a short dinner break between as well.

not bad for $70
