DIY ! a kimono cardigan

I've been looking for a kimono cardi for quite awhile now. Today, i decided to make my own instead.
I took out the sewing machine. Picked a fabric. And within 30 mins, i got myself my very own DIY Kimono Cardi.

DIY ! my very own Sour Plum keychain

I recommend everyone to have a go at shrink paper. It's fun, easy and really just brings the kid out of you.

 Draw and cut out your design. Bake it in the oven. And watch it shrink. Pretty awesome right?

Now that i've made a batch of my very own Sour Plum Jam, i thought i'd try it with some freshly baked cupcakes.

eats ! sour plum's homemade sour plum jam

Did you know... that the difference between a preserve and a jam is that preserves have chunks of fruit in them while the fruits in jams are crushed or pureed? Then there's jelly which is even more smoother since it's made from the juice of the fruit and not the pulp. Hm.. interesting. So, technically, this is a Sour Plum preserve.

Well, this is the simpler version of making jam.  Go ahead and try it yourself. Add some spice or mix it with other fruits. Make it your own.
