Secret World

My dear hubby wanted us to have something we can do together at home so he bought us two accounts in the MMORPG Secret World. I'm really thankful to him as the game is heaps of fun! I don't really know how to explain the pleaures of running around in an alternat reality killing loads of zombies, but it's really super fun. I nthis game they have also limited the PVP to the arena areas so there is no need to worry about being ganked while running around doing my zombie killing and mystery solving business. I also like how they have integrated the problem solving from adventure games into this game. Here a pic of my hubbys character while he is runnig around in the zombie filled town of Kingsmouth.

Homemade chili flakes

Chili flakes are easy to make at home. I first thought I would make it solely out of my homegrown chillies but I didn't have enought of them to fill a small jar. So I bought a bulk bag of dried thai chillies and mixed them up with my homegrown dried chillies.

 First I removed the stalks left on them then I put everything in the blender and crushed them up. Note to myself for next time: Don't inhale any chili powder that rises from the blender unless you enjoy a runny and sore nose for the next hour or so ! 

Here's the result:

Shorts and curtain equals skirt

 Shorts + Curtain = Skirt. Crazy maths eh??
In the world of sewing it's totally possible though. It's getting close to my mums birthday and I wanted to surprise her with something totally unique. I also have been cleaning out some things that we never use that have been cluttering the apartment. And there happened to be a pair of way too big white shorts and a pretty light pink flowery curtain that had lost it's companion. Suddenly I found my self doing this crazy math cutting up the shorts and adding a piece of curtain and a strip of lace. And the result : This skirt!
I will be giving to my mum for her birthday, so if it looks a little too big on the photos because I'm modelling it and I'm a pair of sizes smaller than my dear mum.
