The mission

Time: 11 a.m - 3 p.m

Location: Bahrain City Centre (Bahrain's biggest mall as up to date)

The mission: To find the perfect low boots in genuine leather

The trouble: Most of my favourite shops were on sale (Zara tu auras ma peau)

The verdict: No boots but lots of goodies from Zara and Stradivarius Oh Yeah!!

The good housewife

Today I did scones for the first time. It was a very easy recipe from an old Coles Winter Recipe booklet (That must be like a 6 years old free booklet I got from the supermarket while I was studying - Gee!! I do keep everything)

The ultra easy for dummy cooks below:

Pumpkin Scones

Roast 250g pumpkin pieces in the oven until soft (about 15 mins). Allow to cool, then mash together with 2 cups sifted self raising flour, 1 egg yolk, 1/2 cup caster sugar and 1 tbs butter. Knead the mixture to form a dough, it should be sticky to touch.

Now you can either:

Do like me - bake the scones in muffin tins or

Roll out the dough flat and cut out rounds using the rim of a cup dipped in flour. Place some scones on oven tray.

Bake in oven (180 C) for 15 minutes, they should sound hollow when tapped.

Et Voila! Bon Appetit

Internet is back

These days, I have been doing my own christmas ornaments.


1. I have been trying my hands at origami christmas trees like these ones


2. Been working with my fingers with air dry clay. I would like them to look smoother though.


3. I was happy to find out that there was also a Daiso in Bahrain. Got to love their price and the lovely japanese goodies.I purchased some more origami paper and air dry clay.


4. O oO I finally received my necklace displays, they are beautiful!!

Nice

Really nice jewelry from Creativadoration.

Eid Holidays in pictures

A discovery - Dilmun Musuem next to Bahrain Fort

Inside the musuem - Fantastic architecture

Glimpse of Bahrain Fort

Arad Fort

Beautiful cushions - I wonder where I can get these, I saw them in the Bahrain National Musuem, it seems to be a local craft in Bahrain.

Internet Grmmmphhh##@@@

I don't want to stop blogging and no I'm not dead, it's just the internet in our block.

There are some nice posts coming on the places I visited during Eid Holidays. Now I hope that my photo driver will work then.

Be back Soon

Quick - While internet's still working

Yes I arrived safely after a horrid flight and hours of waiting at Bahrain International Airport. I meant to write a whole post on these but internet has been up and down ever since I came back, the story is 'rancid' now.

The feedback from Awali Craft Fair is: Hmmmm

The 2 necklace displays I ordered from Etsy, never made it to Bahrain. So I had to use imagination to display my necklaces.


I must say that the crowd was 50% less than the American Women Association Craft Fair.
All in all it was encouraging because I sold 4 necklaces. I am very positive, this is my nature.
