Awhile ago, I posted the apron and doll I made for Connie. Here’s the rest of the swap I sent to her but never got around to posting:

1. 500mL Lush Snowcake shower gel
2. Handmade apron
3. Handmade doll
4. Owl and letter rub-ons: got these at Urban Outfitters — they’re so cute!
5. Julphia products: 2 scrubs [...]

I really love Alan Moore and David Lloyd’s V for Vendetta. I believe that it’s my favorite Moore novel to date (and yes, it is so much better than the movie).
There’s a passage in the book that I found to be beautifully written. It’s when V delivers a powerful and melancholy monologue. [...]

Awhile ago, I made these green tea cupcakes from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World. Finely ground green tea powder (matcha tea) gives the cupcakes and the frosting the green hue. Almond extract is used to flavor the cupcakes, and it’s overwhelming; I would’ve preferred a cupcake with the delicate taste of [...]

I came across My Fantastic Toys’ cupcake pattern and decided to give it a go. It’s very easy to make and is sewn together with four pieces.
I decided to use a light blue felt for the cupcake liner and yellow felt for the cake, kind of like that yellow Duncan Heins cake from a [...]

This recipe is based off of Veg Web’s vegan fried chicken. I’ve made the recipe a few times, but it’s never turned out the way I wanted. After pains of hunger these past couple of days and the lack of groceries, I thought I’d give TVP another shot.
TVP is short for textured vegetable [...]

I love buttered toast. It’s warm, salty, and tasty (lol). :9 It’s so easy to make and really satisfying, kind of like an instant homemade meal. Maybe it’s sad that I consider toast to be a meal, but it’s just SO GOOD. Orgasmically delicious. I really like the vegan Earth [...]

I never posted a picture of the cappellini in fresh tomato cream sauce, so here it is!

I’m out of oregano, so I used dried basil instead. In my previous post talking about the recipe, I mentioned that I used vegan shortening. I actually found vegan Earth Balance in a tub at Whole Foods [...]

I did a swap with Connie recently, and I sent a few handmade things in her package:

This is a half-apron that has one big pocket sewn in the middle (so I guess that makes it two pockets). It has contrasting moss green trims and a ruffle along the edge of the apron. This [...]

I’m really lucky to have Sonia as a friend. She’s always been supportive of me when times were tough, and she’s probably one of the most compassionate people that I have ever known. When she comes across a hurt bird, she takes the bird to the animal hospital! And she always thinks about others before [...]

Sonia and I did a swap. I love love love swapping with my friends because the effort put into the swaps is mutual. Plus, anything my friends send me is treasured!

Big Oddish is big. ;) I cut out its face from felt and handsewed it onto the fleece body. I primarily [...]
