I found this adorable idea at LUTTER IDYL's crochet socks for furniture. I recently bought drawer from IKEA that's definitely going to scratch the wooden floor so this is best time to try making them.
So easy to make, I will continue making more for my other furniture that has feet!
I used thicker yarn for this but I will try finer string that will look more elegant like what Lutter Idyl has.

Made this simple and easy to make noodle that goes very well with anything as side dish. But I love it enough that I had it by itself.
Got it from one of my favorite recipe site Simply Recipe for this refreshing meal. Very simple to make, you just cook noodle and saute the mushrooms. Mix those 2 in large bowl, add the dressing and toss.

First time using fabric markers to draw on T-shirts. It was a lot flexible to draw on fabric more than I expected. It gives that sketchy look that I like on paper.
I went to 8 years old girl's birthday party where they had craft session to decorate your shirt and make necklaces. The birthday girl has younger sister so I drew their current favorite movie, Frozen characters on extra t-shirt they had for the party.
This gave me an idea to draw anything I like on old tanktops to dash it up so I would wear it more often.
Another recipe I found from freshjuice.ca!
I'm not a alcohol drinker but I do love using beer, vodka or wine in my food so finding recipe that uses those excites me!

One of my favorite food is Ramen. Real one, instant one, snack pack one they all tastes so good!
Here is store bought-homemade ramen you can have at it at home. They sell it at J-town in the freezer section, wrapped in clear plastic bag with yellow paper typed out in black text. I'm describing all this because I have no clue what the brand name is, they've been using this simple packaging since I was little.
You have choices of plain ramen with no soup base, shoyou or miso soup base. Follow the instruction and put anything you like for your topping. I put mine with teriyaki chicken with saute mushroom/carrots and shredded green onion.
If you have a chance to drop by at J-town, also try their cold ramen in freezer section. Good to eat on hot summery day!
