A brief update and some brownies

So.... My attempt to be more active at writing here kind of failed miserably. But I just love procrastinating so much. :'(

I've been really busy with school, since it's been the end of the last semester. But the suffering was totally worth of the seven 10s (same as A) that I'm going to get in my report card.

I can't really say much about the last two or so weeks, I have a really bad memory.
Mainly I've been hanging out with my friends when I have time, visited my step moms summerhouse (I love it there), and studied.

Here's a couple of cellphone qulity pictures of what I've been up to.

We went out to have a picnic, because a good friend of mine had her 16-year-old birthday.

We bought a "little" something to eat.

A bow-tie made with Isas instructions from her last post.

As for today I have baked some DELICIOUS brownies for my group in art-school. Sadly tomorrow is our last class together. We always have so much fun. I'm going to miss you all!

I too my recipe from a baking video by two YouTube vloggers: AmazingPhil and danisnotonfire. You should check out both of their channels!

I used exactly the same recipe, but for the little chunks I used some white chocolate. The picture doesn't do justice for the om-nom-nomness of these brownies, but they still look really good.

I will TRY to post something this week, but I'm surprisingly enough rather busy. At Wednesday us ninth-graders have these dances we need to perform and I'm SO stressed out! I will do a post about it later on this week.

On Thursday we're having a field-trip into this amusement park called Linnanmäki. I'll try to remember to take some pictures while having fun.

That's it for this post, I promise the next one will be more interesting! For now, here's a couple of songs that I have listened to today:

DIY Bow tie

 

I have wanted to do bow tie, for a while, and i thought that i could do a post about it, when I'm doing it.
I tried fin some patterns for my bow tie but i didn't find anything, what i would wanted, and I just felt too lazy to tug my sewing machine from my cabinet, so I chosed the easy way, use the hot glue pistol. So this is just something what I adapted on my own. It was super easy, and quick to do.

 

 

 

What you need:

Hot glue pistol, cisars, pen, tracing paper (normal paper will work as well), fabrick, and also rurel, and pins.

 

Patterrns:

You can skip this part if you want, but if you are going to do more than this one, it's just easyer to do it.

I wanted to do the ordinary bow tie size, but you can edit it as you want. My patterrn was 10x9cm so it was littele bit over 2x how big i wanted my bow to be.

 

Start the glueing:

After you have cutted the fabrick accoarding the pattern, glue the both edges to the middele on the longitudinal direction. .

 

Then glue both open heads together.

And you get something like this. Now think how wide strap you want to it, and cut littele bit over 2x of it (mine was 3cm).  Glue the both edges to the middle.

When you are adding that you can put between that an safety pin, pin or what ever you want.

 

And there you go!

 

I hope you find this post helpful, and easy to understand.

Sunny day

I have noticed tath how i react to things affects so much more my day than I have ever thought. We all have those days when no matter how positive you are, anything just doesn't work. There is still so mutch what you can change yourself whit your attitude.

Since I desided at the new year (pretty corny :D) that I'll try to think more positive from then on, it really feels like I haven't had to deal with so mutch bad things, or stress than last year (Even though I still stress a way too mutch.) So mutch have just depended of myself. Is important to remember that there is always space for more than a one feeling, but if you keep bringing the good things to your mind more than bad, you'll see the difference.

 

I still say that today's school seption werent that well, I got to know that my domestic science number will drop a number because I forgot to return on cope. And thats is so good new because I'm going to baker/confectioner industry. Meanwhile I wrote that previous clause i just remembered that I was meaning to fill that copy today, and ask can I return it tomorrow, yeay...

 

Well apparently I didn't do what i was suppose to...  I spended the rest of the day whit friend of mine. Because the weather were so good, and the sun was for change shining again, we dicided to go drink coffee, and eat the icecream in outdoors. I can't say why or is it just me but it feels alvays that summer isn't really coming until I have ate my first ice cream in outdoors. (I hope that it didn't sound too weird :D)
