Recipe: The Inevitable Cake Pops

I love good-looking food. After I read about cake pops on a blog for the first time, I was amazed. Then I read another post about cake pops and another one and another one. When I finally decided to make them myself, I checked YouTube for video tutorials. I was overwhelmed by the quantity of cake pops tutorials! I found out that they are a big hit in the U.S.- and that I have obviously overslept this trend:)

DIY: Statement Necklace With Everything I Found Lying Around

After finishing my first necklace, I wanted to try out something more difficult. I gathered all the sequins, beads, chain, felt, ribbon etc. that I had lying around and waiting to be used for something creative.

DIY: Gossip Girl Final Episode Cake Decoration

I used to watch Gossip Girl. Somewhere between the second season, me growing up and every new season becoming less interesting (or was it just me growing up?), they lost me. But Nerma remained a true fan till the end. 

She invited the rest of the fan community to watch the final episode at our place. We wanted to make it a memorable evening. Nerma made the best triple-chocolate mousse cake ever. Unfortunately, we forgot to make pictures of the process. But next time (there will most certainly be a next time!) she makes it, we'll make a special post.

DIY: Barney Stinson's Motivation Posters Display

We've been watching How I Met Your Mother for years and our little brother is a huge Barney Stinson fan. Therefore he asked me for a HIMYM room decoration. I decided to put some of the motivation posters that Barney has in his office (whatever he really does in that company :D) as well as some of his famous quotes, on my brother's wall.

DIY: My First Statement Necklace

Before I was able to make the collar that I posted earlier, I first practiced with some easier solutions. This was the first piece of jewelry I ever made. I had no idea how it would turn out but that was the best part- I started playing around with different ideas and I loved the outcome.

Recipe: Birthday Fortune Cookies for Nerma

Last week was Nerma's birthday and she will most certainly never forget it! We made a big surprise for her that almost gave her a heart attack!:) She was having exams the whole month and didn't even think about celebrating (plus, I haven't been home for a few days and she didn't expect me at all).

Her friends, boyfriend and me (10 people) knocked at her door at midnight. When she opened, we started singing "Happy Birthday" while holding balloons, a birthday cake and presents!

Here is one of the handmade gifts that I made for her: Birthday Fortune Cookies!

DIY: The Big Bang Theory Wall Art

We are huge fans of The Big Bang Theory. When I saw this T-Shirt online, I immediately came up with a new project- I wanted the characters (Sheldon, Leonard, Howard and Rajesh) on my wall!
