DIY Curtain Holder

 Random acts of boredom would definitely result to something wonderful. This time it was a DIY project. I have a pleasant-looking bedskirt that was too short for my queen-sized bed. I thought of making table runners as giveaways for the Holidays which is coming real soon. But my curtain bothered all the time most especially when it gets windy and crazy. I only had snips of ribbons to tie my curtains with. So, one day, I decided to just cut it long and wide and make some curtain holders. 

Not bad right?

My trusty friend. A very cheap and affordable find from Lazada. Ill be posting some DIY projects soon which I made with Ming Hui. 

Close-up look at the finished product. 





Herb and Nut Spread.


 
This was an accidental experiment turned out great and excellent in all ways I can possibly think about. I was just looking for something to do with my walnuts stored in my refrigerator from the recent months of baking. I really didn't think it would turn out awesome. There was leftover butter sitting still behind my refrigerator door waiting to be picked up and there was an abundance of basil in all parts of our garden. I couldn't make pesto because there wasn't pine nuts that came in handy. So, I carefully mixed the washed basil, softened butter, lots of garlic and some toasted walnuts using my ancient food processor all the way back from Culinary School. I finished it off with a drizzle of Olive Oil just because I know it would taste better. 

I smothered it into a leftover bread and toasted it for awhile and the result was just oh-so-right. It was love at first bite. 

I tried making Pumpkin Soup once and just before serving, I drop a dollop of the spread into the simmering pot and it tasted so nutty and full of life. The flavour was spectacular in the palate that now I am salivating with just the thought of it. I should make it again! Soon. 

You can also serve it with Pasta alongside your favourite Pasta dish.

I tried making a simple Spaghetti in Olive Oil Pasta and drop a dollop or two before serving and it somehow tasted beautifully. Light and fresh. 


Here it is in its Temporary Label but Permanent bottle and Packaging. Will try to post the final one the soonest I get my final label.
