Fried rice with green vege

I know fried rice is boring. The reason why I posted this is because it is the first time I fry rice with adding green vegetable.

See the ingredients? I have salted fish, carrot, "chai xin", chinese sausage, egg, onions and of course rice.




It turned out to soooo good, I even want to finish the other plate which belongs to WL.

DIY pin cushion

I have some left over small pieces of fabric and I am in need of a pin cushion. It was very inconvenient to keep the pins in plastic bag and keep pulling out one when I need to use and put back into the plastic bag everytime to avoid losing them and fall off somewhere where I accidently sit or step on them later on.

I came across a super simple design of pin cushion sometime ago.

If Hong, you are reading this, maybe you are wondering what I was going to do when I pulled out the filling from the old mashimaro at home and brought them back with me?

Here it is the pictures one 2 different sides of the cushion


It is not the most beautiful pin cushion but is enough for my usage.

Crochet baby booties

Initially I purchased the yarn to make side table cloth but when I searched around, I saw a quite easy crochet baby booties instruction.

I just followed through the whole 4 part of instructions in youtube and made this pair. I did one side before my finger infect became worst and the other side last night. What do you think?

Stew pork rib, my way

I lost idea what to cook. I have pork rib but I just don't have the ingredients to make soup so I was thinking to make stew out of it. I threw some vegetables from my fridge and ingredients into stew pot and simmer it for 1.5 hours for today's dinner.

1 onion, cut
3 cloves garlic
1 carrot cut into chunks
2 baby corns
2 tablespoons groundnuts
2 chinese mushrooms, quartered
2 tablespoons red wine
1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
2 tablespoon oyster sauce
1.5 bowl water

Baby blanket

This is the project I have been working on for the past 3 weeks and I completed it today. My ring finger swollen so badly that it hurts all the times now. I suspected it's caused by fabric cutting using the metal scissors. I can't sleep last night due to the pain. I know it sounded a bit exaggerate but it's true.

This picture was taken when I was half way doing the hexagon stitching , hand sewn.



The size of this blanket is approximately 36X40. It can last until baby is around 4-5 years old. :D Other than the top piece, the rest of it were sewed using sewing machine but I used invisible stitch (hand) to close up the hole that left to turn the fabric to it's right side after sewing the pieces together.




This is the back of the blanket. I actually sewed a layer of thick flannel in sandwiched between the top and backing. It is weird to get a batting here in Malaysia since the weather is not as cooling so I just inserted a flannel it there. I washed the flannel before sewing to reduce the possiblity it will shrink after washing.
