Those beer labels

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

The hubby put me to good use last week, making labels for his homebrew beers. He submitted four new beers into the weekend’s homebrew competition among his workmates.

My beer labels on the hubby's homebrew

I hope I don’t offend anyone with these!

14DD Double draft beer

The first is called ‘14DD’. A double draft beer. Double draft, double D, boobies. I didn’t have much time to be creative! Credit to the hubby for coming up with the name and descriptions (I added the ‘blind’ bit).

Annihiliation India Pale Ale beer

Next is an attempt at Epic Armageddon, called Annihilation. Apparently the beer was rather mind blowing but I’m not sure if it was in a good way. Let’s just say the kitchen stunk so much like pot while they were brewing that the kiddies around insisted on locking themselves in the lounge. The hubby wanted it based on the real label.

Ginga Ginger beer

A ginger beer was also made. Don’t you love the beautiful ginger baby? So cute. A workmate asked me if the picture was of the hubby! LOL! The hubby has a hint of ginger in his hair but he’s mostly brown, and this picture is of a baby girl hehe. This beer came third overall.

iCider Apple cider

Last was an apple cider. I just had to make fun of the stupid iSnack name – why not!

The hubby also submitted a beer from the last round of homebrew in March, and despite his Chateau de Wellignon lager coming last in that competition, it managed to come first in this one! Either there was a better selection of judges and scoring criteria, or the beers have gotten worse…

Being domestic

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

It’s been a long time coming, but finally I got around to doing some sewing this weekend.

With about $9 of fabric (in an eggshell green and gold jacquard may I add) that I got as an off-cut from Spotlight, I managed to make four cushion covers, a plastic bag holder and two coasters. Not bad!
