Its..so..hot.

Hello hello,

It's a repulsively hot Sunday afternoon here in Sydney and boy am I feeling the heat.

Since I'm staying in today, I thought I'd get into the whole baking and blogging thing again, as my last post was more about paper crafting and my holiday break. And, yes I am as surprised as you may be to see that it has been indeed, one week since my last post. Ha.


So here it is, yet another loaf. But in my defense, I had some overripe bananas and frozen blueberries left over from the previous pie disaster- so why not? Plus its easy peasy to make, and takes about 20 minutes to put together.

Voila! Breakfast for the next week

How cute is the doily? I got it from IKEA a couple of weeks ago, I love that place!

Happy New Year and hope you all had a great Xmas.

For me, and most likely the rest of you as well, Xmas was again celebrated with family and food babies and NYE + NY in the company of awesome company and lots of food again- can't compain! In previous years, I never really got into the notion of celebrating NYE but as I have adopted the 'eh' notion late last year I accepted an invitation to attend a friend's family dinner ( which was way awesome) and danced in the new year at a house in Redfern. All in all, good times were had and I'm grateful for the company I keep these days.

As per usual, I haven't really felt like blogging but I'll sum up everything I've been up to in the last weeks in a photo roll. Note that majority of them are Instagram- its been an app that I've been obsessed with lately. The pictures end up looking pretty sweet!

A couple of visits to the beach. Here I am embracing nature- which is only a recent development

Arrested Development- First night of Sydney Festival. The streets of were alive that night.


Eating pop corn. Don't really know why that's relevant but I like the picture

Okay, so I know I usually post about all the baked goods that I've made recently, but today's featured post relates to........


POM POMS!

After browsing some wedding blogs ( 3 of my friends got engaged recently- congrats to C+M, N+K and F+A woohoo!) I kept coming across these cute paper flowers, which could be stuck together to make pom poms.

So thats what I did.




They are fairly easy to make, and I found it quite therapeutic to do so. All you need is crepe paper, scissors and string. Um and probably a tutorial.


Till next time!
