I’ve also been preparing more paperwork to enroll at UGent<\/a>. I need to fill in a lengthy application form and give them ton of information from my previous University. I’m hoping they’ll accept me and also transfer my credits. It’d be a great help if I only have 1 to 1.5 years left to get my Bachelors, and then another 2 for my Masters. The end is near, way closer than at my previous University, which is sad. I’m also going to enroll at UCT<\/a> for either the preparatory year of Dutch, or only the levels I still need to take (3rd to 6th) preferably.<\/p>\n On the cooking and baking front, I haven’t innovated much or made up any recipes worth posting. I’ve kept to my staples with the savory, and not done much baking either. I made curry, and stir fries, some baked casseroles and the usual. I baked some muffins and was planning on cookies but forgot to buy cookie sheets!<\/p>\n I did get three balcony rectangular planters, and filled them with dirt, put some seeds in, and patiently waited for them to grow. I have Lettuce, Rainbow Chillies, Rocket, Leaf Beet (or Perpetual Spinach), Land Cress, Basil, Rosemary, Marjoram, Chives… All ready to pick when I need some. Nothing better than a sandwich with lettuce right off the plant. Or a pesto with such fresh basil (crossing fingers it grows enough that I have enough to make pesto soon).<\/p>\n Craft wise, I finished a beret (no pic), that still needs the ends sewn in. And I started on a lace shawlette using the Luna Moth Shawl<\/a> free pattern from Elann, and a fingering weight yarn that’s a bamboo \/ silk \/ cotton blend, in creamy white. Since a post without pictures is boring, I’ll put one here of the shawl:<\/p>\n I also got a set of funny giraffe rubber stamps. I made some thank you notes and gift tags that I plan on putting up for sale. I sewed a beach dress for me, using my brand new sewing machine that I plan on use a lot (Promise!)<\/em>. I’m right now waiting on an eBay auction to finish, and hopefully I’ll be the owner of 3.5m of MacKenzie Seaforth tartan to make a high waisted skirt.<\/p>\n I think that’s about it. Hopefully next time it will be sooner than with this post.<\/p>\n Cheers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I know I haven’t posted in a month and a half.
