This pisses me off...

My dog listens to the iPod. I think he enjoys it :).

The baby is still not here yet...

Well, it's the end of my second week off. Feels rather slow but I guess it's been nice to rest and just take it easy. No, the baby isn't here yet...

On Wednesday I went for a walk to Granville Island. Took some pics as usual (with the new digicam). It was a lovely walk indeed. I ended up buying some pot pies for Thursday night's dinner and a Micro Playmobile set from the Kids' Market.

Yesterday, I also received my Tailor Gibson Blythe from HLJ. She is my first RBL mold Blythe. Her hair is so much softer than I expected it to be. Probably the softest hair of all the Blythe dolls that I have. I had to fix her bangs a bit though because I did not like the gap that came from the factory. So I gave her a hair wash, ironed her bags (with a towel), and gave her a bit of a fringe trim. I have to admit that she looks much cuter in person. Wasn't sure if I was going to keep her but I think I will. I still need to think of a name (although I quite like the name Tailor itself but then it almost seems thoughtless of me to choose that!).

I made a bear softie last night for a present but haven't completed it yet. I will take a picture of it once it is done. Made it from some Japanese pattern books (no I am not that talented to come up with my own patterns!). I also just made some cinnamon bread pudding right now. I hope it tastes alright.

We bought a new hand-held digital camera over the weekend. We wanted to get a new compact digicam that we can easily carry around since our dSLR can be rather bulky! I have been doing a bit of research to figure out which one has the best features for the best price. I really wanted the Canon SD800 IS but it was just way too much for our budget so we went with the Sony DSC-W80 which was more affordable with similar features.



The colour balance seems a bit off when I take pictures of my dog, but when I take pictures of my dolls, it seems OK. I probably need to fidget around with it some more to get a better feel for it. It is definitely better than my old Sony DSC-P7 (really really old-school digicam that we bought years ago). Also, of course I cannot compare to my trusty dSLR Canon XT.

What do you think of the pictures below? Yay or nay? For around $300 CDN I guess this isn't too bad...

Today was a great mail day! I received a total of 4 packages :). Yipee!!

First off, we got a lovely cardigan from BlytheDolluxe. So beautifully made! Charity is modeling below. Second, we got a very cute Eurotrash moof helmet from Ruth. Huna was the lucky one to get dibs on the helmet (it could also be because she was conveniently wearing a matching orange shirt). Thirdly, we got received some glasses that fit Moofs (see pic). And lastly, we finally got our Strawberry Re-Ment set from HLJ! I haven't taken pics of the Re-Ment but I am utterly thrilled about it :).

Yay for good mail day! :D

Thanks for reading :).

We welcomed Duna & Huna to our little Moof family this week...

P.S. Only 2 more work weeks before my maternity leave! Woohoo!! :)

The boys played football while Solomon and I went for a walk in the park nearby. It was a nice Easter Sunday...

This is so fun! I found a cheap badge maker on eBay and have been having a blast making some buttons lately :).

With lots of leftover fabric scraps, I made some fabric buttons. These are 4cm ovals and some that are triangular in shape. Apparently there is are rectangular and heart shaped buttons available too. I will surely be getting some of those later! I also have a 2.5 cm oval button adapter but it doesn't work very well with the fabric (I have already messed up 4 of those 2.5 cm buttons *_*).
