It's not because today is Valentine's day and I have to receive chocolate. Nah. I usually have white chocolate to keep my sweet tooth happy. I can't find the other white chocolate Lindt but this kind of choco with coconut flakes will do for now. Why I don't like coconut flakes on chocolate? It bothers my throat. It can cause coughing. My suggestion? They should stick to plain white chocolate milk.
This strawberry cake from Costco is the best cake I've ever tasted. Not too sweet and not too overrated, it was just right. I could just bake and have homemade cake or pastry but did you know that it is economically better to buy your own cake than bake it your own. To make and bake a cake is overwhelming because of the expensive ingredients that go with it. A $15 to $20 worth of cake from the bakery is good than baking from scratch that will have you to spend $50 worth of cake if you'll be the one to bake it. Savings: $30.00
My daughter and I received a new bed ensemble. A complete set of bed in a bag. THANKS DADDY! Thank goodness we don't need to use the colorful comforter of cartoony characters of Digimon.
Despite the many household chores at home I found time to sew the new fabric (cotton/canvas) I had last Christmas, a fabric bought from Walmart. It's a simple style intended for this kind of floral pattern. I'm a little overweight so a blouse that you can see on above photo is just right with its non-curvaceous style. Who knows I might lose few pounds of weight and I can repair the edges and have a sexier look to this top.
How about the skirt? The floral fabric is not enough. I found an extra black retazo from my box of left-over fabric from previous sewing project. It's not bad really. An A-Line skirt with elastic on waistline. This is what conservatism is. You have to use your skills to economize most of the time. Quality will suffer? Maybe or maybe not. This is not a party outfit so there's really no sense of wearing the blouse and skirt to attend a party. At least it is not the kind of outfit that will have that proverbial wardrobe malfunction.
In the case of sewing and other handicrafts, conservation is quite easily been applied for several causes only if you are not too meticulous. However, when it comes to building houses and other construction like bridges and dams and other infrastructures you expect bigger and costly budget to get 100% result and in the form of highest quality otherwise what you will get in return for a low cost quality anyway? Haha, you know better.
