This week had totally been a slow one for me because I finally caught the cold/cough. I went home last Sunday from my class, did a little sweat out zumba, took a shower, went to sleep feeling cold and felt worse after it. The virus has caught up with me. I was running a fever, and the my throat was starting to hurt.
I was too sick so I decided to stay home this week. I resorted to going to the doctor's clinic by Thursday and I started feeling better after the shot. I also had enough energy to get back to knitting and finally finish the few remaining ball of my initial yarn. Even though it was already past 12, I cannot stop. I just needed to finish it. So I did!
Woke up the following morning with red scary eyes.

All in a Day : Knitting and Take 2 for an Apple Pie
There was a meeting downtown that I had to attend even though I had no exact idea about it. The time kept on changing and from 1 to 2:50. I got there around 2 so ended up having to kill 50 minutes.
Heading out of the parking lot, I found myself in front of the knitting shop. I've been there once to check out things but had to hurry out. This time, I had extra time and a little cash with me to buy something under 10K just to get started. It helped that the store owner was willing to teach me to get started. The time just flew by until I realized that it was already three o'clock. Off to the meeting I went.
It took an hour or so to finish the meeting which has dawned upon me to be an internal and complicated one. A little at least for me. I honestly don't want to write much about this except I was surprised to see another fellow pinoy as sort of a guest. I totally had no idea.
I had to stop by at Daiso, my favorite place, to pick put some kitchen things. I impulsively bought an apple corer which did not work as it should be when I tried it out. I ended up peeling two apples that I had to eat or really make into an apple pie finally so I can try out the pan.
This I started before 7 o'clock with only about an hour before my Korean class starts. Surprisingly, I manage except for the clean up. I was able to pop the pie in the oven and had it smelling good before we hit out 10 minute break. Awesomeness. Never had such an exciting 10 minute break. Yet, I had another hour at least to cool it and a Korean lesson to finish. Once we finished, I had no other thought but to attack the pie.
The top crust didn't turn out that well coz I forgot to brush it with milk or sugar in my hurry. I also didn't have enough foil at hand so some part was slightly burned. However, I think it baked well compare to before when I used another pan. Moreover, it didn't turn out to be very sweet this time. I'd say, it turned out better. I ended up eating 1/4 of the whole thing.
I went back to learning knitting before bed with some youtube vid. I hope my interest will be sustained to finish an infinity scarf at least until this winter. I'll go back to gardening next springtime. My husband had been teasing me about my all-the-time changing interests. One thing that might stay around is baking specially this coming winter. It will warm the house with good-smelling edibles to boot. As for knitting, that might be another possibility specially if my sweaty hands will not act out a lot.
My Monday has been an interesting one to say the least. Now, off to finish my apple pie! (I'll have to make another one for P tomorrow afternoon when he gets back from the 3-day camp.

Happy Day Today!
Hubby got his first online shopping package this month. And....I got myself a new Mp3 player! Although I'm not sure if it was originally for me. Haha! My previous one was long gone and I'm just tickled to get a new one. Thanks dear. :) It might take a while for me to get use to it's relatively simple functions.
Anyway, I browsed through some repair/mending ideas today. I tried to update the clothes in my drawer and I found some shirt that I hardly wear but cannot afford to throw out yet. It seems that I do have ideas how to make them wearable. I just need some more info and knowledgeable skills to make it. I already have one finished product which I did a few weeks ago. Sometime early this month, I finally cut the Korean Mask shirt and sewed it on to my kiddos plain red shirt. I started that one in a no-power night until the next morning when there no power again. All hand-sewn! I am not that very fond of needlework coz of my sweaty hands and this was really a BIG accomplishment for me. I was just driven to save the print, and put it somewhere it can look better and add more to it's lifespan.
The
Having found another shirt in my drawer, I surfed for info how I can make my imagination into reality. I do have idea on what I want it to look like but doesn't really have enough guts and skills to snip and put it together again. This is way harder than the "cut and paste" I did earlier. Sigh. It's worth saving coz the shirt is still looks new. I hardly wore it coz I felt it was a little too loose for my frame. Why I bought it more than ten years ago is still lost on me. Except that I really like the print. A bit too flowery but there are days that I like to wear one, you know. Specially when it's bright and sunny and the weather is just great! I think I need to resize it, or if I go insane, totally redesign it. ? Haha! That's gonna be an interesting thing to watch out for.
As I was looking for ideas on sewing, I stumbled on an interesting crafty blog from a gal in Cebu. Finally! Something that is within the geographical territory. I mean, crafty stuff are usually from other lands and seldom would I find local crafty bloggers. It can be a start. ;)
