Finishing my exams...

Finishing my exams made me extremely happy (of course) and able to sew again.... After making my navy bag (posted 2 weeks ago) I decided to continue this topic (navy style) and made a little purse (the previous one is useless as the zip broke but I really hate splitting...). This was a quick success for me and I used only the remains of the bag... not a single new piece, except the white zip. :)

It is good to have them together as the weather is usually like in autumn or early spring (rainy and grey) so I can have a little summer at least in my bag.

And summer has surely started for me, too.....

Hey, threads and fabric! Wait! I am coming!!!

A cake and an eye

It is the story of last week, but it is only funny from a certain distance, so I am blogging it out today. Last week my dear colleagues had a new house party for which I decided to make their house from cake. I found some photos, made some plans in secret and started to bake on a calm Saturday night just to be able to finish it for Sunday evening (I nearly failed). I had to start with buying trays for the cake... It was a looong way.

The house turned out to be a very complicated o

ne, so I had to be tricky. I just baked and baked and finally made some fondant...

Just to help you imagine how big this cake was some facts:

24 eggs

750 g chestnut puree

700 ml cream

a whole box of cocoa powder

600 ml sour cream

1.5 kg caster sugar (yeah, fondant!)

and a lot of other things....

It was not that bad at the end, altough it really hated to travel, so one of its walls started to give up by the time we got to their place.

They were very happy with it and the guests liked the cake, so I came home happily with the feeling I had something in my eye. I tried to wash it or see what was inside, but I failed and saw nothing. I just closed it and fell asleep. I woke up in the morning with a scream. The thing was still in it, making the morning horrible. After trying to find it somehow or pick it out I finally went to the doctor and was informed that a piece of a toothpick (with which I put the roof to the cake) was in my right eye. ... The best news 2 days before my state exam. I could hardly study... Yeah, a horrible end for a succesful cake... (Now everything is OK, the exam is over.... it is only a story now...)

Finally :D

Yay! After finishing my exams (nearly... the last state exam is the only one to pass....) I tried to relax a bit with SEWING!

What a beautiful weekend it was! (next Sunday was the day to finish "Sewing in head" and starting to make my plans real.....)

I had some white fabric and I bought a huge bedcover last year (the blue)... And my fingers were sooooo excited to draw something...

I LOVE blue and white together. Plus in May I saw in Spain that navy is the fashion of this summer. This is the time to sew my navy bag!

I started with the bottom of my bag and drew a little bit...

Then I made the sides of blue and white stripes...

Finally I added the top blue part, I drew some life buoys, put the hadles and added the little bow.

Here is my brand new summer navy bag! I am sooo ha

ppy with it! I hope you like it, too.

Patch on plane

Patch megint utazik, ezúttal Barcelonába megy, és a másik blogon (remélhetőleg) követhető lesz majd magyarul...

Viszlát!!

Happy Easter!

This Easter is basicly about typing my essays and things, but ....

But I could not imagine Easter without a little tiny piece of decoration. As I had no time, I asked my B to buy some little tiny flowers to have spring feeling... So went together and bought some... They were just greenies and didn't seem to be real 'decorations' but by the next morning I saw all the little ones blooming:

I gave myself a free day which we spent together with family. We baked a cake with my Mum, I wanted to teach her the fondant thing, so I decorated the cake there and we put it to the Easter Dinner Table.
This was the first time for me to make 3D figures, so the bunnies are not perfect at all, but I was satisfied (I had to try my new Wilton dyes...the green and purple) with the sleepy bunny... It was not a planned design, just started to decorate and the cake turned out like this:


Happy Easter to you all! What do you do at Easter?

Blue cake

There is a play (a tale with looooots of music) written by two Hungarian authors, Muszty Bea and Dobay András. This play is going to be performed tomorrow by my little Drama Group (11 year olds). The title of it is : The Blue Magic Cake (A kék csodatorta), so I certainly made a blue cake as a premiere present for my kids.

I hope they are going to be fantastic tomorrow, will play and sing wonderfully.

Here is the cake:

From Alpha to Omega

This was how my day started (the beautiful view from my bed)



And this was how it is ended (my finished thesis)
