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

I made some Jap Chae Korean noodles for lunch the other day.

Hubby and I went to Feenie’s for dinner on Thursday night. We each had a Feenie burger. It was tasty. This will probably be one of our last eating out dinners before the baby comes…

I spent a nice afternoon in the park just sunbathing and reading a sewing book. Solomon and Charity also came along and enjoyed the sunshine.

I made another Blythe dress. I like how it turned out. Charity is wearing it while she also shows off the Re-ment kitchen.

The baby is still not here yet…

Well, looks like I get another week of crafting since the baby isn’t here yet.

Here are some pics of the bread pudding that I baked and the bear softie that I made last week:

I made a small tote bag for my mom on the weekend for mother’s day but I forgot to take a picture of it! Oh well. I have also sewn some more Blythe doll dresses (will probably post pics and sell on Etsy later).

I made this today out of leftover green polar fleece. I think he looks sort of goofy but I kind of like how it turned out. I named him Mr. Teddy Green. Yes, how original…

Now I need to think or another project for tomorrow…

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.

I made these pouches in the last few days. A couple of zippered pouches and a cheque & coupon wallet.

I made blueberry muffins from scratch last week. The recipe can be found here. They turned out pretty moist and yummy.

I had French Toast for lunch on Monday . Three slices is just way too much (I was ambitious) and I was super full afterwards.

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…
