Snow day and a mystery


Trying to make the most of the weather. I am not a fan of winter nor snow. It may look pretty but I have a very poor balance so snow is really difficult for me + I have a huge curb and alleyway to shovel.
 I made a snowman, meet Mr. Snowy. If you follow me on Instagram you know Mr Snowy has a drinking problem.

  But he is still cute.


Pookie is cute too but it's hard to get him in the snow for a photoshoot.

 
As no cat would indulge me and pose in the snow I decided to take some cat paw print photos instead.


When I noticed something strange...


A larger print that looked bigger than a catprint. A single print, not a series following a path.


It could be a dog print as I seem to see claw prints on top of the beans. Toe beans are rounder and more spread out than a cat's.


And it's large too, the patch is 7cm across.
But even if it's a dog...I still doesn't explain the single lonely print...

New earrings in new shop


Some of the new earrings are now available on dinafragola.com
They are rose gold toned, with copper metallic accent. Simple but lovely.
Available in 4 colors.
I am not very happy with  the photos as for some reasons the lack of light makes it look like the black background is dusty :/  I'll have to re-shoot at some point.

Making new stuff


I am finally making new items. I'm into rose gold right now.
These are scruffy tablet photos but I'll have a proper photoshoot later.
Still waiting to receive rose gold clasps so no necklace yet -_-
I am also making new plugs in the same style.
They'll be listed in my shop and in my Storenvy shop.



Also new cuff links!!!

New bread making machine


After 2 years without one (the last one broke), I decided to splurge on a new bread making machine. I also decided to upgrade a little bit as my first one was really basic.
Yes, I know I can make bread in the regular oven too. But all my attemps were really meeeeh so I gave up.
Store bought bread in Belgium is pretty mediocre, even in traditional bakeries...as there are not many restrictions to what you can add to it (and not mention it). I admit that I sometimes drive to France to get some bread I actually like.


I went for a Panasonic machine. I like that it makes a lot less noise than my previous one.
I only baked one bread so far. It was a bit pale and too dense to my taste, but still edible. I need better flour, I think.
And I need to find the right recipe too.
If you have any recipes, feel free to share in the comments.
