  1. I attempted to bake some macarons this weekend - black sesame and durian flavors. It was only a 50% success rate as the black sesame patch went horribly wrong. Looks like I’ll be trying again next weekend and hopefully I’ll get it right!

  6. Using the same tutorial below, I made a couple more lunch bags for my friend’s daughter.  The ones I made last year ripped, so this time I included a vinyl liner for greater durability. Tutorial: http://www.purlbee.com/back-to-school-lunchbag/

  7. Made these bacon cupcakes for my friend’s 30th. It was a hit!!! I followed the recipe below, but made one tiny modification - I added bacon pieces to the batter to get a stronger bacon taste. YUM! Recipe: http://thefreshfridge.com/2011/02/maple-bacon-cupcakes/

  9. Couldn’t find a model for my newly constructed bean bag chair, luckily Domo was around to lend a helping hand. LOL. I followed the tutorial below to make a child size bean bag however I used more than the 100 litres of pellet required. It’s probably because I used a really soft and stretchy fabric for the inner lining bag. Overall, it turned out well and the instructions with pictures were really easy to follow.
