Hey guys! 👋

So the ingredients yout gonna need are:

First thing first you don't need any fancy mixer, you can get the perfect consistency with a blender. You take white of all the eggs first, putthe yolks aside, and blend whites for almost 2,3 minutes. Then add one yolk and blend for 30 seconds, repeat the process for the number of yolks you have. After that you add the sugar and blend it for 2 minutes. Then you pour one cup of oil and mix it the batter for further 2 minutes.

Now you will have a smooth and light paste, which you'll add into a boul and add flour, baking soda and baking powder through a strainer. Also pour four tsp of milk.

Mix it well.

Now take another bowl with cocoa powder and add 2 spoons of milk, mix them well until there remain no blobs. (Believe me you're gonna make lots of utensils dirty 😂)

Add some amount of main batter. Mix it. ( I really like in-between state)

It's gonna look like this.

Since we don't have any butter paper, so we're gonna do some jugar. Apply a thin layer of oil on inner side of the mold (actually a degchi), and sprinkle flour over it. Gently tap the pot over a surface and spread the flour thinly and evenly.

Now to make the marble texture, pour the 2 batters in patches, i.e. make four patches at first, 2 plain and 2 chocolate ones, and keep on adding alternatives over them. Tgen you'll have something like this.

Here's the most fun part, take a toothpick, swirl it first inward and then outward. I just wanted to keep on doing it but it would have mixed everything completely.

For the baking part, you need to preheat a large pot with a small plate at the very bottom. You don't directly make the contact with heat. When it's completely hot put the batter over the plate, cover the lid and put the stove on very slow heat.

The video said 20 minutes, but I had to bake it for 50 minutes to cook completely😂. Okay you can take off the lid, and put in the toothpick, and if something comes out with it, it still need time and if nothing then your cake is ready to eat😋(That's a classic though 😀).

I struggled a lot in taking it out 😭, because i didn't want to disturb the shiny and sweet crust.

O my god you can see from miles away that the cake tastes really good.

I proudly distributed it among the family and wehad it with tea😋. And the dopamine boost that I got is unexplainable.

You should definitely give a shot to this, it's really healthy, for its made from scratch. You can take the game to next level by adding cream and decorating it with anything you like, because why not?

I hope you enjoyed through the process.

Having said that, I recently crocheted a beanie for my niece and now one of the is still pending for the other. Now I'm looking for the best patterns and color scheme for a sweater. A long time ago I saw this beautiful pattern in which a lady made a top using this pattern. I searched for the pattern and followed this tutorial: Inspiration

But o my God, look at this. It was the first strawberry and it cam out just right. The together stitch at the top of berry was truly a game changer😍.

Here I stopped making after 2 rows and because I had some other plan for this yarn and I didn't want to waste over practicing. 😅

The design that I finalised was something like that I would made the body ribbed as I did for beanie and in the sleeves of the sweater this strawberry pattern would be used. That would give sleeves a nice fluffy texture. Would start it's work soon.

After completing the crocheting part, I headed towards embroiding flowers. I have hard and soft relation with embroidery so better thought to follow a tutorial: Embroidery Inspiration

I started off with a french knote, these colours looked already too good together and now I have thought to make use of them in next project.

Then I made the petals of the flower.

One flower looked lonely so I made it a small friend 😅.

Then I added some leaves.

And taaaadaaa!

And here's my bunny wearing it's beanie in the scorching heat😂. She was not ready to take it off. 😅

So that was all for today's needleworkmonday.

After deciding the color, I started the process. The work began with a long chain and I increased stitches only twice. It was all about single crochets. Hete the lower part was ready.

Now it was the turn of white part. Here I was suppose to chain one, skip one Stitch and half double crochet in the next, then chain one and so on.

It was a relief to see that there was one more round to be done. And that was the game changer.

There were some embroided flowers too. I don't know much about embroidery, or you can say I don't have experience of it yet. But I tried, and it did troubled me at some points.

For closing up the pouch, I crocheted a 100 chains, and passed through those left over gaps.

I finally figured it out in the end by watching the tutorial again. How could I be so dumb🤦.

Okay that was all for today.

It was quite difficult to handle at first, these 6 long threads made by folding 5 times. Though I was making it second time but I needed to consult video quite often.

First flag wasn't that neat, but second one was my most favourite of all till end as it was really perfect of all.

This time instead of twisting tge strands I braided and it too looked good.

Here it was all done.

I'm really satisfied by the end result. The one that I made last time was quite thick because I used yarn, and but this one is good enough to be worn everyday.

Okay that was all for today's needlework.

I chose these colours:

We were supposed to use pink of 170cm and green and yellow of 120cm. So took thread of 170cm and folded it 4 times. Then put then all together, make a knot in the middle, so now we have a total of 6 strands.

Then I taped it over cardboard.

Here I had done a couple of flowers. After completing 2 flowers now I remembered the pattern by heart, this is what makes the process more fun i.e. you don't have to look into video again and again.

Here it's complete. She was really excited for it. She deformed it a little bit by stretching. But I was glad she like it.

But the realization that now can use sewing threads for making more bracelets was so overwhelming. It has many benefits, on the top is that we the liberty of utilizing a wide range of colours, like if you buy embroidery threads it costs a lot and we can have at most 24 colours. But with these we have hundreds of colours to play around. I'm looking forward to make more out of it.

To begin with I made the cap of the mushroom.

And from remaining those loops, the body was to be started from them and the remaining part of cap acted as the shade. And it's body was complete (I always love how these bob stitches act as hands and legs).

Then I made these tiny ears.

I usually attach everything with sewing and I know it's a nightmare for crocheters. I do it quite neatly but I wanted to try uhu this time for the given purpose. And it didn't disappointed.

After adding details including eyes, blush and key chain, here it was ready to be given away. It's always hard to give up on stuff that I make with dedication and diligence.

So how was it?

Hey guys! 👋

So first of all I made this cartoon character, named as "Pikachu". Honestly I never watched these cartoons, I have seen them on different posters and kids stationery etc, but never occurred to me give them a watch.

I used following materials:

To begin I crocheted the main body first. Then I made all the accessories including, 2 ears, 2 hands and 2 feet. Hands and feet had the same pattern.

Then came the most difficult task, yess, sewing everything together. Here I attached the ears with the body.

Here the tini tiny hands and feet are attached. One things everyone should be awake of that, the attachment of different parts should be occurred symmetrically, by counting the rows in one hand or any other part is being attached and the other should be attached accordingly. These little details make a huge difference. And same goes for faces. Some people's amigurumis don't turn out to be cute or can't give particular vibes that is being wanted , and it's just because of some off proportions.

Here it is ready to be given. I made it's blush by taking out one ply of pink colour and sewing two stitches beneath the eyes!

Hey guys 👋

Prior last week, I was sharing my progress quite consistently, but last week I had a lot to deal with and could not maintain the momentum. While writing this post a thought came across that does even someone care what I went through in the process, why am I writing this all? In a philosophical way, "what's the point of it?"😅. But you know what I'm excited about is when I'll look at all this in future, say 10 or 20 years later, I'm definitely gonna be proud of myself not just for getting out of my comfort zone but also for documenting every little detail that I would most likely forget till then.

Anyways let's stop being emotional and deal with the topic😂. All the time in my university I was surfing canva for a logo design or to make something to present as a poster.

These were the templates that I tried at first but they were not giving the vibes.

This was the final template I liked at the end. I edited it, added my Instagram QR code, picture and a caption.

I previously told ya guys that I was unable to open the chains, so one the weekend I snuk out his tools🤭. They were a bit dusty so i had to clean it.

Adding keychains was the most satisfying part, and the end result was really adorable.

Now the next problem was that how am I gonna display them on the table. We had these cardboards, that we got with bedsheets, and I was saving for something, knowing that they have some greater function to perform. If we put even a little flexible paper behind, it tend to stand stand in a perfect angle. Ans I used thum pins to hang them over it.

There were many pending tasks so my father helped my helped me get them ready.

So this how they turned on the big day.

While making them in a number as big as ten, they made me tired the most. But today was supposed to make just 2, that too requires a lot of work if you're obsessed with dealing.

Following are the required materials:

Daisy;

Lavender:

I took start with making all the daisies.

Here I started giving stems to flowers.

Then I made the the lavenders.

These were all stemmed here, but still those extra threads needed to be sorted.

Look at the mess I have to civer up. I see some people who keep it as it is. But I can't help myself.

Okay so after clearing everything for an hour, we have these neat buddies 😍

Here I assembled them tied them off with yarn. It's complete to be given away. Just attaching keychain and ribbon and remaining.

While assembling I realised I lost one flower, so I have one more pending task🥲.

Okay guys that was all for today's creativity.
