B's Back^^! Super Cute Presents and a Finish!


B's finally back from America! He brought me lots of cute presents. The present you see above is from his grandmother, she bought me a flowery ring and when you lift the flower you can see the time. I do have to set the time though...it's not twenty past three.


This cute little cicada on a string is a Japanese toy. I absolutely love it! B got me this one (and the rest of the presents). You have to swing the cicada around the little stick - like the small guy on the yellow piece of paper does - and it actually makes a cicada sound! It's great. It reminds me of playing Animal Crossing in the summer with B.


This pink castle is to make princess ice cubes. I'm not the princessy type, but I do like the idea of having princess tower ice cubes in my drinks this summer.


And this is - as you can see - a Hello Kitty Pez dispenser holding a little heart. I forgot how nice Pez actually is. I already ate two of the packets...and the third is already in there - of course I shared with B, but he didn't like the grape one. And I've got four packets of double flavour Pez!


I really like these presents! The cats are scared for the cicada though...I hoped they would like it. Ah well, I'll play with it in my room, haha.


Bouchra's found a new space to lie down in. She's actually sleeping in it now. My sister will need it again tomorrow. Oh dear, she's going to get a hairy guitar!


Bailey didn't really want to look into my camera today. I think she's tired...or she's just teasing me.


And YES!!! Special Agent Francis York Morgan is finally finished! I really enjoyed stitching this t-shirt for B. Unfortunately I just finished it - it's still soaking in a small tub with soap - so I didn't have a present for B when he got back. But, I do have one for him tomorrow! At first I thought I wouldn't be able to finish it tonight either, because I didn't have enough white DMC, but luckily Mum had some left - so relieved when I found it! I'll post a picture of this Special Agent without the plastic on tomorrow. I'm really quite proud of it. Now I can start with my new project, the one for my aunt. But not tonight, tonight I'm going to read...I really really want to read. At the moment I'm reading Going Out by Scarlett Thomas - I really recommend it!


Special Agent Francis York Morgen...right Zach..?

Special Agent Francis York Morgan Update IV


Don't have much to say about this stunning creature - I mean the ingame version, not the stitched one - at the moment, only that he looks a bit patchy and I should probably get some more white DMC... Hope I can finish it this week! Thought I was able to do a lot more, but I fell asleep while stitching yesterday...jolly good.

Special Agent Francis York Morgan Update III


After an evening and a day of babysitting, this is my progress. I think I need to pop over to the craft shop tomorrow and buy some more white DMC. Can't wait till it's finished and till I can finally give it to B!


B let me hear this song by Gemma Ray, really very lovely. Very Twin Peaks-y. The clip is great as well!

Special Agent Francis York Morgan Update II


I finally finished all the bright blue stitching. I've just started the darker blue thread and I hope I can finish all of the dark blue stitches tonight. Then I can finally go on with the white thread! Colouring in the rest always goes fast, it'll probably - or hopefully - be ready when B comes home.


I went to this thing with my mum tonight, it was a small party in a very special shop. It's called 'the New Label Project' and it's basically a shop with all these boxes up and coming designers can rent to sell the stuff they design. A friend of my mum's is making bags so she was there as well and that's why we were invited. I really liked walking around in the shop, think I might stop by a bit more often. I bought this really cute kitty ring. Here's the link to the designer's website: www.essyello.com
