Mr Pussy Cat

Last week, still inspired to sew stuff for my etsy shop, I sewed this pussy cat. Actually I did another one, but with a sad expression and no head, as well as a little doll version of the little girls I like to draw so much. She is still naked so NSFW *haha*.  I like yellow as a contrast against grey. I think I like yellow a lot, even though when I paint, I use a lot of blue backgrounds for my floral paintings. I use yellow and orange for my teddy bear series, probably also because I bought too much shades of yellow while painting the sunflower.

Eh ja, I know it is a misnomer to call him a Mr when he looks like this

Buy him @ Kleine Bastel Hütte now!

Why can't the Princess do the saving for once?

I have a massive backlog of pics for the blog, especially for the restaurants which I have been visiting, the recent art offerings and the German trip.

I came across this whimsical picture while cutting across the underpass near Esplanade. The Art Festival 2012 was running market stalls, which they themed "Festival Village". I liked the idea. Why can't the princess save the prince instead?

Mr Bär works hard for a living

Not sure why this weekend I have been suddenly more arty farty, but perhaps because of yet another death in the (extended) family (3rd one already this year?! This is a strange year, literally "four weddings and a funeral", lots of marriages because it is Dragon Year and yet many deaths than usual).

As I mentioned in my blog, I have been sewing felt toys, and on Saturday, I painted a Mr Working Bear.

He's going  right on the wall, under my other Bear, so I painted him with a similar background color (though with more yellow. I painted cadium yellow deep then pressed against the canvas with bright yellow).

Now as I stand in front of the two pictures, I comment drily to B1, "this bear picture makes me feel like I should 上香 to him. He kind of looks like a picture in a columbarium niche."

B1 replies, "yeah, he was a hardworking bear. He worked himself to the paw to bring you these fine goods."

Somebody obviously has been playing too much Diablo3.

Getting Crafty - My very own Etsy Shop!!!

I have created my own little etsy shop, Nibblezware Kleine Bastle Hütte. Since I am into sewing again, I was thinking why not turn it into a little enterprise to earn some $$, so that I can buy new materials online? Especially felt. I love sewing little creatures out of felt material.

Anyway you can click on the little house on the left side of the blog to visit the shop. :D

This is the little bunny I made over the week. I am now working on a kitty cat head for a xmas ornament.

Shitty Relic CoH connection

I don't know if anyone else has been experiencing this but this whole weekend, I have been experiencing some really shit connection in Company of Heroes. I have been kicked a total of 4 times on Saturday itself, and it really made me mad especially for one of the games, because I had wasted 2 hours on it, and was already going to win when it happened. Totally denied me the chance to pulverize the enemy base. Pissed.

And that is how, I got 4 wins without major contribution. Damnit. You might think it is good, but I think my CoH friends will probably ban me :D for being such a leech, unintentional or not.
