Alice in Wonderland Exchange

Here you can see the rest of my Alice in Wonderland project.
Fiona and I did an Alice in Wonderland exchange. Here is what I sent her.

I had my stitches framed and sentbher some of the plastic to stitch on t-shirts etc., some pieces of felt, some DMC, some pieces of fabric, some pieces of cross stitch fabric and a handmade felt seal.

Her is what she sent me. (I have to say that her package makes my package seem really lame...)

A beautifully stitched Alice, a little bokk about Alice, Mad Hatter tea, white rabbit keyring, Alice curious mints, a postcard and a bookmark. I am so happy wih it! Thank you so much Fiona, for making my first exchange so lovely! It was wrapped in simple brown paper with a tag with 'open me' written on it.

This is what my package looked like.

Japanese Pressies!

My Japanese teacher and her family just got back from Japan and they brought all kinds of lovely Japanese presents with them for me! They got me some typical Japanese cookies, they're really thin and really beautiful with little flowers in them. And sweets that taste like Cola and you can whistle on them! Can't wait to try those out. Can't wait to get to Japan either..!

Amigurumi!

I wasn't in the mood for cross stitching anymore, so I decided to pick up amigurumi again. Amigurumi is a Japanese style of making 'kawaii' little stuffed animals. (You probably know it, it's very popular). Haven't done it in a while...really need to get the hang of it again..!

So, this is a little bear, he's called Polyesty - will explain why - and he was born on the 26th of August, 2012 and he likes cool autumn walks and he's not bothered by the pink shirt he's wearing. He's made of viscose (on the outside) and polyester (on the inside).

I put a picture of him on Facebook and didn't know how to name him, so I asked who knew a nice name. One of my friends said 'In my heart I named him Polyesty' and I kind of liked it, so that's why he's got that particular name.

Medli Update and Cute Stuff

Here's what I've done so far on Medli. It's not going as fast as I would like, but that's okay. It's the summer holidays after all, so time to relax!

Here's a short video of Bailey drinking water out of a Baileys glass. Normally she'd just stick her head in and kind of lick the water, but she couldn't reach so this was her solution. Makes me giggle.

And I found this really really cute website with all these amazing cream puffs and cookies! Oh yes, Totoro cream puffs! かわいいですよね＾＾！

Jane Eyre Tea Party & a New Project

Today a friend of mine came over to watch the new Jane Eyre, directed by Cary Fukunaga. We had a little tea party with all sorts of typical English stuff. Lemon cake, After Eight - the cherries aren't very English, but I thought we had to have something 'healthy' to eat. 

My friend brought over some lovely English fudge. Oh, I really really love English fudge..!

And here is my new project. The colours aren't very clear in this picture, but that's okay. You can't really see what it's going to be at this point, since I haven't done very much yet, but it's Medli from the Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker. I got this pattern of DorkStitches' blog. I love her blog!

Alice Exchange with Fiona!

Thanks for your comments, Fiona and Emma. The person who I'm going to do the exchange with is Fiona! I think it's nice to do the exchange with Fiona, since she is from a city where they celebrate Alice Day! Fiona, could you give me your e-mail address, please? Just leave it in the comments below and if you want I'll delete it immediately after I've read it. I'll send you more details on the exchange and - if you want to - I can tell you what I am going to send you. Thanks!

Here are a few kitty photos, since I haven't been posting a lot of them lately...cough. Bailey wanted some cuddles.

And Bouchra looks like she really didn't want me to take pictures of her. But I did anyway!

Ben wanted a zipper in his Kindle cover, so his Kindle wouldn't fall out. Hope he's going to use this Legend of Zelda cover now!

Alice in Wonderland Exchange

Hi everyone!

I haven't been working on Alice for a couple of days...bit lazy, sorry about that. The lovely lovely weather, Animal Crossing and the release of Pokémon Conquest haven't been helping either...

Anyway! Who would like to participate in an Alice in Wonderland themed exchange? If you are, just leave a comment below and I'll choose one person to do the exchange with.

I don't know if I should tell you what you get or let it be a surprise...if you're curious just let me know and I'll post it.

Oh, almost forgot, you can comment on this post till the 29th of July. On the 29th I'll choose one person to do the exchange with me.

Hope everyone is enjoying the summer holidays and the nice weather!
Happy stitching everyone!

Special Agent Francis York Morgan

I totally forgot to post a picture of Special Agent Francis York Morgan without the ugly plastic! So here he is. Ben wears this t-shirt all the time. Makes me happy^^
