DIY Project: Table Runner

May sarili akong mundo nitong mga nakaraang araw pero masaya naman dahil sa enjoy ako sa pinaggagawa ko. (Busy ako sa pagdi-DIY! Opps! Wag kulot ang isip ha. Lol!)

Nakahiram ba naman ako ng sewing machine. Ala ey, sinamantala ko na ang pagkakataon! Nagtahi ako ng nagtahi. As in nagpuyat talaga ang Mamaru. 

Sa wakas, dahil nakahiram ng sewing machine, na-repair ko rin ang mga nagsisikipan kong mga thongs at naburdahan din ng “Monday” to “Saturday” ang mga bikini ko. :D Hmmn…bakit walang “Sunday”? Eh hindi po ako nagsusuot funtee pag Linggo, day-off yun ng pechay ko para magpa-presko. Wahaha! Charot lang! Ang maniwala, magkaka-pigsa sa dila.

Table Runner

Iisa lang ang table runner ko para sa dining table namin. Ilang beses na akong naghanap sa mall ng pamalit pero wala akong magustuhan kaya naisipan kong gumawa na lang tutal marunong naman ako manahi at madami naman akong mga retasong tela na naitago.

Kung papansinin, magkapareho ang kulay ng runner tsaka ng kurtina namin. Noong nabili ko kasi ang kurtina, sobrang haba kaya mega-cut ko sha noon. Lahat-lahat, mga sobrang tela lang talaga ang  ginamit ko sa project kong ‘to. Wala akong ginastos, hindi nabawasan ang kaban ng salafi ko.

Table Runner

I have a lacey little black dress noon na ni-repair ko rin kasi mahaba sa akin. Hindi ko itinapon yung ginupit kong laylayan ng damit.

Kitams, buti na lang at hindi ko itinapon noon kasi napakinabangan ko ang retasong tela as patches dito sa proyekto ko.

black lacey cloth black patches

Again, gamit ang alindog at malikhaing-isip, ditey ko nilagay ang mga gawa-gawa kong patches.

Gumawa rin ako ng mini-pompom para sa magkabilaang dulo ng runner.

Hmmmn…simple lang ang design ng table runner ko pero pwede na, di ba?

One Egg Lemon Pound Cake

Makahulugan sa akin ang petsa noong Lunes, August 8. At para mas lalong maging markado sa akin ang petsa, gumawa ako ng FIRST Lemon Pound Cake ko.

Slice of Lemon Pound Cake

Pers taym ko nagamit ang silicone loaf pan na nabili ko ON SALE last Christmas. The recipe calls for 8×4 inch loaf pan. Malaki ang loaf pan na nabili ko size 9×5 kaya nagmistulang kakarampot ang chura ng cake sa loob ng pan.

Doon sa pinagkunan ko ng recipe, hindi sinabing lagyan ng lemon glaze. Eh sinipag ako at nilagyan ko pa rin ng glaze. Nagsisi lang naman ang Mamaru! Sobrang tamis kasi ng glaze at di ko kinaya. Eh may lahing-diabetic pa naman ang magandang lahi namin. Chos!

Inalis ko talaga ang glaze nung lumafang aketch ng cake.

Next time, I’ll leave it plain and simple lang ang Lemon Pound Cake ko. Minsan nasa kasimplehan lang talaga ang sarap ng buhay. Hindi na kelangan ang daming cheche-bureche.
