Hey Sunny Siders, I’ve been tapping in to my creative side lately and wanted to share some of the things I’ve been making with you all lately. It’s been really fun spending time doing things that don’t involve a phone screen and O hope this may inspire you to take up a new hobby!
Minecraft Flowers

I recently started making Minecraft flowers as wall art for my room. I’ve seen these online and decided to give it a try myself and I have been having so much fun! I’ve made three so far, but my goal is to make all the flowers as a really fun wall art design for my office space!
Cell Phone Straps

I have also been really in to beading and I tried my hand at making a cellphone wrist strap. I love cottage core and fall, so this mushroom and green themed strap has been my absolute favorite thing.
Beaded Bracelets

I’ve also been making lots of bracelets lately. These are my two favorites I’ve made, they’re inspired by the eye colors of my loved ones. I made matching ones for my family and I love that we all have this subtle piece of jewelry to wear.
Baking
I don’t have any photos for these baked goods, but I wanted to share a bit about a few recipes I’ve baked lately!
The first one I want to discuss is brown butter chocolate chip cookies. I found this recipe online courtesy of Samanttha Chen on Instagram. I’m not exaggerating when I say these are the most phenomenal chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever tasted. The use of brown butter makes these cookies taste like toffee and it’s amazing. Highly recommend checking out her recipe and making these for yourself because wow I’m never making another kind of chocolate chip cookie again. Cookie Recipe
The next item I’ve baked recently is my grandma’s white cake with homemade buttercream frosting. This has always been my favorite cake and the only buttercream frosting that I like to eat. I always asked for this cake for my birthday growing up and this year I tried my hand at making it for my brother’s birthday. it wasn’t a good as grandma’s, but I had a lot of fun making it and it still was delicious!
The last thing I’ve been baking a lot of is homemade breads. I love making Japanese milk bread, as it’s my favorite bread. But I’ve also been making regular sandwich bread too. Homemade bread is so much better than store bought in my opinion, and nothing beats a slice of fresh bread with butter right out of the oven!
