Knitting and Nail Polish

Oh my! It's been such a long time! Break has recently started and I've decided to try my hand at knitting :DD
I'm doing a 3x3 rib stitch with medium weighted yard and size 7 needles.




But on the other HAND, hehehe, I painted my nails for the first time in forever! I tried to do a gradient sort of thing but it only worked out on my ring finger... Here are a few pictures of my not-so-beautiful fingers!


I used Wet N' Wild's Sparked/Etincelame and :333 I love painting my nails! I did my toes too but I don't have a picture of those :<

Embroidery

I decided to try my hand at embroidery. I took out my fleece scarf that I intended to embroider for the longest time and decided to get to it.
 
Here's where I began. I used a whipped chain stitch.
 
Then I added some grass like things :3
 
I added a name and a butterfly and then I was done! How do you like it? (:

Dresses

I recently came across some marked down fabric and I just had to get it! It was marked down from $14/yd to $2/yd! I bought various patterns and made some dresses and a top.

Ear Cuffs

I recently got a jewelry kit! Isn't it adorable?



I tried making some cuffs and I think I did pretty well!

My first one: 
My second one:
And lastly, my third one. I made this one with two chains!

Detachable Collars

Although I do not adore this new trend, I found it a little cute and decided to make a few.

What do you think? Do you like the trend or not?

《By the way, if you didn't know, these are a pain to make ☆⌒(>。≪) but I made them none the less.》

Chinese Bakery Cake \(^ ^)/

Yum! I made this delicious cake yesterday.

I followed this recipe for the entire cake.



I didn't like the cake recipe though. :c It was very flat and soggy. I am pretty sure that I did it wrong though... I tend to do that. (*´ο`*) The custard and frosting were both nice though (:.

However, I do not know whether the gelatin destroyed the fluffiness of the frosting or not. I will experiment further.

《This is my first cake that I've decorated. It was harder than I thought and my frosting began to get soft.》

Here are some other pictures:
