Dazzle Puzzle : Failed!

soooo, i failed my own challenge.

i couldn't make it to the last piece of jigsaw puzzle in two weeks. my problem was time, and the wrong strategy. turns out it is not as easy as i thought before. but i learn something. compiling a puzzle is a commitment. once you've start, you have to finish it. you don't want to break the half-work you've done, yet you cannot just let the unfinished pieces mess the room. there's no other choice but to have it finished, no matter how long would it take. so i take my vow, i'll finished what i've started. i'll finished my jigsaw puzzle!

this is the picture of my progress in two weeks. i compiled it into one. 14 days with a lot of this and that to do everyday, i just lost my puzzle-time. gonna have this finished soon! hope it wont take 14 months to do that :D

anyway, last picture was taken at August 14, my birthday. and i had a great one that day! lots of greetings, love, friends, and birthday present. will uploaded it soon! have a fabulous August, world ;)

Dazzle Puzzle

One day left to August, my birthday month.

this past week i'm thinking about something to do for my birthday. not like a celebration or anything, but something more interesting to do.

this is my birthday gift from my friend Aceng last year. its almost a year and never been touched. its a thousand pieces jigsaw puzzle, and i decided to have it done in two weeks!

so here's the deal. i have 14 days to finish this. start from August 1st, and should be done at August 14th, at my birthday. everyday, i'm gonna take a picture and uploaded it on my daily photo blog, Screencast, to report the progress. Dazzle Puzzle starts tomorrow, and i hope i could finish this in time, these tiny little pieces should bring something good for my birthday this year :D

wish me luck in this, because i never been this eager to finish a jigsaw puzzle before!

au revoir, Lluis

Lluis is our new friend from France. Since he already passed his exchange program here in Jogjakarta, so its time for him to go back to France. we decided to give him a farewell gift so that he can never forget about us :D

The Gengs are, Aline, Elda, Tia and me. we're not actually a real gank. its just we hangs alot and sometimes we call ourselves "gengs" as a joke. Lluis love it, and he officially become one of The Gengs. haha..

we decided to give him a mug with our picture on it. but before that, i made a little additional touch for the mug. i started to print "The Gengs" on canvas, and sewed it into a pouch!

this is the picture of us that applied on the mug, a little narcissism always feels good ;)

Lluis loooooooooovveee the mug!

we love the mug as well :D

he left something for us at my house.

GOD SAVE THE GENGS

and yeah, i stepped in to the club, just for a night, and this is for Lluis -___-"

Lluis, thanks for calling me Putri instead of "Pudchri" like others bule do, thats why i love you!

au revoir, Kiddo. we're so gonna miss you ;')

the eyes have it

a practical painting workshop, The Eyes Have It by Ben Fox and Kate Fielding from Wilurarra Creative, Australia. We learn to draw an eye, and its not just a circle with the black spot on it!

Ben told us, that an eyeball is just like a drop of a water. it reflects lights and have a texture

it was a fun workshop. the fun part is when we started to paint a piece of eye-shaped wood!

look at those "eyes"..never thought drawing an eye can be this fun! plus, we have our eyes go on a sudden exhibition. we hang it all, and voilaaa..the room looks eye-ly amazing :D

this is the amazing duo, Ben and Kate.

and this is my "eyes" ;)

thank you Ben and Kate, thank you Lir Shop, this my one of a kind Sunday!

wedding gift : a room to grow

this is a sweet wedding gift from Ojan to his sister, Mba Nia. its a cushion with flowerpot design. i helped him in the making, but the designs are all comes from him. on his blog (http://pipettepattern.blogspot.com/), he mentioned that the flowerpot design represent an energy. he said that the flowerpot and the flower comes together in a good harmony. hope it could be a good energy for the newlywed.

i couldn't agree more. flowerpot is a place to grow, it will keep the flower inside from harm, and let it bloom to become a beautiful flower. and i think marriage is more like a flowerpot. its a room to grow together :)

pretty nice philosophy for a wedding gift, don't you think?

thank you Ojan, it feels nice to take part on this project :)

happy wedding, Mba Nia and Mas Maskhun. happy growing together :)

making pancakes :)

im making pancakes on this beautiful Sunday morning.

and i cant stand not to posting it, because i got the perfect skin and the best texture on my pancakes today :D

look how beautiful they are..

 

let me share a quick recipe to make these beautiful pancakes!

ingredients are : a cup of flour, an egg, 3 full-tablespoon of sugar, a full-tablespoon of baking powder, salt, and 3/4 cup of milk.

the making : mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. in a different bowl, mix the egg and milk together. after done this step, you can start pour the egg and milk mixture into the flour bowl. give it a little extra stir to blend all the ingredients. once you're done with this, then you're ready to pan!!

set your cooking pan, add a thin layer of margarine on its surface just to make it slick. you only done this once, because after it, your pancakes dough will done well without margarine on the pan. start adding the pancakes mix into the cooking pan, the size is up to you! i used tablespoon to measure every pancakes because i like it not too big yet not too small. remember, wait for the pancake's surface is bubbly then you're ready to flip it! do exactly the same treatment to the rest of pancake mix, and served it with variant topping!!

happy trying! 

*really do hope this recipe is make sense enough for you to try :D
