Food .... during MCO (Malaysia's Lockdown Period)

Labels: | at 10:43 PM


29th April 2020 (Wednesday)

Today is the start  of Phase 4 (29th April to 12th May 2020) of Malaysia's MCO for the Covid-19.

We have been requested to stay at home and do whatever to our liking. JUST STAY AT HOME! So, these many weeks am doing exactly just that. Besides daily routine of house chores,  I've done gardening, crocheting, cooking, baking,  etc except exercising. 😊

Am sharing some photos below of food I made.  There were others but I didn't snap any photos.   A few may be my 1st attempt like this Basque Burnt Cheesecake.  The recipes were obtained via YouTube where they have many versions.


           Basque Burnt Cheesecake


               Green Chicken Curry

Sweet Dinner Rolls

I overcame my fear of baking breads/buns with this plain sweet dinner rolls being the dough didn't raise during proofing. After many trials and error I managed to do it.  Next on my list will be to make different versions of the buns..


Among others are banana cake, fried cruellers ( yau cha kwai - not successful with it though), Sambal Udang Kering (dried prawns) and Agar-agar Pandan (Jelly).

Another 2 weeks to stay at home, you bet I am going to try making other stuff.

Thank you for reading 😊and have a wonderful day. 😚

Labels: | at 1:05 AM


21st April 2020 (Tuesday)

Below are photos of earrings I made in the year 2019 but still kept in my phone memory.  All earwires were made using non-tarnish artistic wires.  The briolettes are rose quartz, leopard jasper, cherry quartz, aventurine, tiger eyes.  I've also used Swarovski crystals and gold filled beads for the earrings.

When can I start wirework jewelry crafting again?  Soon ..... I hope.

Thanks for reading and have a wonderful week ahead !😚

Hi peeps!  😊

March 2017- this is the date I last updated my blog on crochet beaded necklace and a beanie.

Where did I disappear to?  No where!  Am still in Malaysia though.  There were things that got pushed back especially my jewelry crafting and I embarked on a new hobby, that is crocheting handbags.  I've not totally forgotten on wirework crafting but need to motivate myself further to continue with it.

At this time of Covid-19, Malaysia is having a lockdown (MCO).  Its our 35th day of the lockdown today and all citizens of Malaysia has been requested to stay at home.  Its happening around the whole world, too.

Anyways, to keep it brief I will be updating my blog again with whatever photos I have saved in my handphone.

Till then, stay safe and take care everyone.  😚

CROCHET BEADED ROPE & CROCHET SLOUCHY BEANIE

| at 5:51 AM


1st March 2017 @ 9.30pm (Wednesday)

I did this crochet long beaded rope necklace awhile back.  You can't really see the design of the cats which I did in black and white with segments of coloured seed beads.  It is long enough to convert it into a multi strand bracelet as well.  I found this pattern on Pinterest but didn't know who the designer was, so credit goes back the original person who created this pattern.


Note:  The above was placed on fake grass carpet

 That's me in the photo :D

Below are photos of some completed crochet beaded rope necklace which 
was completed awhile back.







I made this slouchy beanie for my daughter who was preparing for her trip to Taiwan.  This is my first attempt at making a beanie so I was like searching for patterns on YouTube and the end result was a mixture from a few crocheters.



I like the look of the back portion.


Oops.... forgotten to adjust the beanie properly before snapping the photo.


Another slouchy beanie in grey with ribbed pattern.


This dark brown alternating front and back post crocheted beanie was for a newborn.

Well... that's about all that I can share for the moment.
  Will update as and when I have some new crafts.  

Happy crafting!

I AM BACK .....

| at 4:26 AM

28 February 2017 @ 8.08 pm (Tuesday)

Hello ...... Hello ...... I am back again.  I have not been diligently hardworking since my last post (dated 19th January 2016) and was away from doing what I love most, that is wire jewelry crafting.  I was also having problem signing into my blog because I have forgotten my own password.  Now that I am able to sign in, I have a new problem ... that is unable to upload photos because I have a faulty USB cable.  Need to get one fast  .....

Besides having a blog, I am more active on Facebook.  So, most photos are uploaded there.  You can view the page under "Emilysecretpassions.blogspot.com" to see what I have been up to since my last blog post.  I have been doing some bead rope crocheting as well as made an attempt at crocheting slouchy hat.  

I can't wait to get back into the mood for wire work but it has to wait a little while longer while I iron out some personal issues. Doing a wire jewelry tutorial is in my to-do list and I hope to publish it by this year.

Need to get the cable soonest possible so that I can share some of the photos here as well.

Let's see when I'll update again but in the meantime, have a wonderful weekend, peeps!

Handmade Crochet Beaded Rope Necklace

Labels: | at 9:58 PM

19th January 2016 (Tuesday) @ 1.50pm

I'm sharing photos of a crocheted beaded rope necklace which I made for myself and love it very much.  I have not worn it yet though.  This necklace measures 45 cm with extra 6 cm extention as I like it to be short.  It can also be converted as a two strand bracelet.




Thanks for looking!
