Fun: Put tiles on the family room

So, my house's current floor is of that fake wood stuff.
It's gotten really annoying since my dog misses her pee pad one too many times, and the flooring has rebelled.

My mom is quite unhappy about that turn of events lol.

So we were just talking one night, and we kinda just yelled out, omg we should just change the floor ourselves.

YEA RIP THE WOOD STUFF AND PUT IN TILES!

I HAVE SO MUCH TIME! WE SHOULD DO IT!

YEAAAAAAA.

that's pretty much how the conversation went between my mom and me lol.

So, I want to do it. why the heck not??????
granted, my mom was drinking beer.. but she wasn't even close to being affected... so...?

we just have to convince my dad hahahaha

Done: Dog food baking

I've been meaning to bake my dog treats because she is the most adorable puppy (well, not really a puppy, but always a baby in my eyes <3 ).

Since I'm trying to feed her with the good stuff these days because I'm home all the time, I was excited to bake her some healthy treats.

I found A LOT of recipes, but I chose this one because it sounded relatively simple to make (which was a mistake since it took me like.. 3 hours to complete the whole process from getting all the ingredients mixed to cooling.)

Here's the recipe
Or I just copy and pasted it down below for my convenience, in case I decide to make again.


Bachelor Dog Treats
From: Sherry Yard.
Note: Yard suggests small cookie cutters such as this 3-inch dog bone, but you can use larger cutters and bake the cookies a few minutes longer. She also notes that her dog has a highly trained palette and prefers Wildflower honey (She's joking, of course; there is all of 1 tablespoon of honey in these cookies.).
Yield: About 3 dozen small cookies
4 eggs, divided (2 for the dough, 2 for the wash)
1 ounce vegetable oil
1 tablespoon honey
8 ounces chicken stock
10 ounces whole wheat flour
5 ounces all purpose flour
3 ounces cornmeal
1 cup peanut butter

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together two of the eggs, the oil and honey. Whisk in the chicken stock.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the whole wheat flour, AP flour and cornmeal. With the mixer on medium speed, slowly pour in the chicken stock mixture, then add the peanut butter. Mix until the dough comes together, about 1 minute.
3. Divide the dough in half. Roll out each ball of dough approximately ½ inch thick. Cut into desired shapes using small (3 to 4-inch) cookie cutters. Place on baking sheets sprayed with cooking oil.
4. Whisk the remaining two eggs and brush the egg wash lightly over the cookies. Allow to dry for 10 minutes and brush with the egg wash a second time (the second wash is optional, but gives the cookies a darker brown color). Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes, depending on the size of the cookies.


Since I didn't have a bone cookie cutter, I just stuck with the ones I had at home.

The result:

Since I knew what was in this, I decided to take a lick lol. It honestly didn't taste like much...
But, Milkie seems to love it!

And because these don't have preservatives or anything like that, I kept them in the refrigerator. The only downside is that the treats kinda got soggy since the cookies weren't super hard to begin with anyways.

I'm going to tryout more recipes soon! (:

Done #7: Make shorts

Yes, it is out of order, but I just uploaded my pictures.

I just wanted to showcase my new shorts!
I wish I had taken a picture of the jeans before getting demolished, but I did not think of it. oh welpz :(

Sorry for the hue, but my room was dark when I took the picture.

Basically I made marks on the legs and cut the legs off.
Then, I made A LOT of adjustments.
It was soooo difficult to make both legs even.

Then, I got a tong to pull the ends to make them look fringed (I recommend doing it outside since there was a lot of lint flying around the room).
After I was done destroying the ends, I poured bleach on the pants (of course after protecting the floor with a trashbag).
Since this particular pair of jeans was grey, it didn't take long to bleach them to this state. I actually quite like the uneven bleaching! But, my friend who had dark washed jeans had to keep the bleach on for a while; and even then, it was hard to tell the bleached part.

And the final step is to wash the shorts in the washer & dry them in the dryer!

Mine smelled like chlorine and swimming pools.. haha
But, I really like how they turned out!
They ARE a bit shorter then I would have liked since during the adjusting phase I went a bit crazy with the cutting.

But, it was exciting hahaha
(:

who wears short shorts?

Fun #8: Refurbish furniture

I've been itching to change my room's decoration, if I haven't made that obvious.

So, obviously, the smart thing to do is go on different blogs and cry about my lack of talent and energy to do something about my room.

This blog: The Painted Hive is freakin AWESOME. I wish she can live with me and change my room.

This lady inspired me to try to refurbish some of my old furniture.

Before:

After:

How amazing IS THIS?
mind BLOWN.

So im going to do it.

Feeling lumberjack-y,

Fun #7: Make my own shorts

I actually tried this once before, but didn't like how it turned out and gave it to my mom instead.

But, I watched a youtube video on how to make shorts, and I think I did it wrong!

So, I want to try to make a really cute jeans and bleach them and look all cute.
My bf hates (kinda forbade me from wearing) shorts!
But, once in a while, I need shorts -- especially in CA!

Maybe to the beach or just at home.

So yea.

I will do that! (:

Fashionably,

Hayon
