busy weekend

It's been a busy weekend. Since it's a long weekend, my "holiday" started on Thu evening! First, I made a carrot cake (http://www.ricardocuisine.com/recipes/115-carrot-cake). I have been a fan of Ricardo from watching his program in Food Network. It turned out to be great, at least my mom likes it! :)


With the reduced sugar, I still find it a bit too sweet. I'll probably reduce more sugar next time.

Then I managed to make my first handmade book to baby R... actually first handmade book ever! I used images I found from the web here and there. In order to save me some trouble, I won't post the whole front cover of the book.



It's coming from a nursery rhymes "hush little baby". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySFmgEBC-tg. I trimmed the corners of the book to be round corners. :)

Of course, we didn't spend all the time indoors. Went to 2 gardens 2 days in a row, and got some rashes. I better stay out of the sun for the next few days to recover first!
