Sis came over with Shireen for dinner. We had mushroom quiche, garlic and herb toasts and a hearty chicken and mushroom stew in bread bowl. I made the bread way before Sis came cos it take some time for the dough to rise. The recipe was take from an online source searched by my dad. Umm but I didn't wanna make french loafs, so I shaped them in to founds to make bread bowls, like the ones we see at The Soup Spoon. I sniffed at my bread and the strong yeast smell kept me pondering if I've added too much yeast? Keke I guess I need more experiments to find out what's wrong. Anyway, the stew's great! It's got all the favourite vegetables that we girls love and thick chunks of tender chicken in it.
When sis came we just had to finish up baking the quiche and garlic bread, while waiting for Shireen to come after work. After dinner Sis had to fetch Joey from the airport, so we quickly took some shots of her accessories for ROM in November.
Wow look at that bride-to-be. I'm so so so so happy the pieces turn out just fine. I've spent much time crafting this piece which I initially saw online on a page on victorian and edwardian crochet. But of late I fail to locate this page and I dunno why has it disappeared! Sigh what a pity. The choker needs precise calculations or the lace part, then pearls are attached to it to add design and texture. As for the bracelet, Sis and I shopped for a brooch to make something that looks like what we saw in a shop at Pearl Centre. Wondering what are we doing there? Ya it's the place to get all the craft materials especially for bead and the like. I think Sis really liked her accessories alot, now I gotta think of what to do for earrings. ;)
