yeah and the exactly right bg or it looks terrible :/ hehe you are enjoying all the skins to make birbs :D

Oh yeah, that's tricky, too. Which background did you use? It looks great! :-) I am, I've been trying to make them with as many different skins as possible. xD

use butterfly bruise one lol.

Oh thanks, I don't think I've seen that background before. :-) Ooo, good idea! I keep forgetting I have that skin. xD I wonder if there will be any interesting skins I can use to make gryphons this survival?

it was a free gift in december I think :P Oh its one of the bestest ones :P I'm sure there will be :D I bought to vials just now to get them before survival comes out and raises the prices. I'm gonna vial first thing because you loose time waiting for the new strains to unlock lol.

Oh, weird. o.o I wonder how I missed it? I was definitely here every day, lol. Oh yeah, that's a good point. I forget which strains come from the vials. xD

dunno lol thankfully it's not too expensive. Lotus Vial, stinging vial, Bulbous Vial, Creeping vial and sticky vial. THey all have those names in the wardrobe

yeah, I think most kids (and adults) were pleased with the unexpected three-day weekend ;) I think it just proves you're the master of layering bows :P It works really well with the owl, I haven't tried using that one ;) I see Magnus is all ready for some American Football today :D

Thanks :D And nope, that's one I've had for ages, but don't use that often ;) It's the :D

hehe I'm weird, I like being out in snow laughs I'm not such a fan of ice though (next time we have snow, we're going a different route if we need to get to the supermarket :P) Thanks :D That's the - it had to be something almost pastel coloured so it didn't overpower the rest of Niamh's outfit (she's too picky for her own good sometimes :P)

sits and admires your HA I wouldn't have thought of using purple and brown together, but your HA looks fantastic!!

I have spikes like that and they do work I think! :D They are just really annoying to walk on there parts where there are no ice/snow tho- which makes them hard to use around here at times. lol When some parts are icy and some parts are bare.

Some nice pics you got there. :D hopefullly the phone still works! :fingers crossed:

I am sorry you didnt get to go. :( :huggles: Hopefully you will be able to next time. :) Family time was nice. :D My dad is stopping by with something new for my bedroom shortly and I am heading out for a walk in a couple of hours or so. :) getting a small cabinet I guess I should call it? For necklaces and stuff like that. :D Its gonna hang on my wall.

maybe the ones the people in front of us had, weren't a particularly good brand then - I can imagine it takes a bit of getting used to walking with them though!

Thankfully the phone seems to be ok - it didn't fall too far, and because it landed in the snow it didn't get damaged form landing in the road!

No idea. lol They are fine to walk with the ones I got at least - and they are easy to take on and off when needed. :)

That is good news. :D I am always worried about cellphones getting wet- but I believe the newer phones is a bit better at handling that. :)

I'll have a look around and see if they have any in the shops round here - that might have made that icy road a bit safer to walk on at least! ;)

nods I didn't get a phone that specified it was waterproof (those ones were about £100 more than what I paid for my phone), but it coped better than Dad's old smartphone did when he dropped it in a puddle a few years ago ;)

Lol I bet! Aww thanks. Disagree but thanks :P That owl is really difficult to use sadly. Yep lol I was lacking inspiration so just went with the football game. I don’t recall seeing it lol. Guess it’s been awhile. I like how you use the new items :D great job.

Thanks I was upset about missing it as well :/ Glad you had a good time. Ooh exciting :D

:P that's ok, I agree to disagree with your disagreeing :P :P Was the football game worth watching though? ;) nods I've got every colour that was released of those (working on buying the plain coloured ones next :P), so I'm not surprised you hadn't seen that one for a while ;) Thanks :D Niamh wanted to go and see the mice without Lick and Rish chasing them ;)

it was a bit boring because the teams defence were so strong but my team won in the end, so yes :P wow good luck :D teehheee hee did it work? ooh another cute one today. I see the zipper pants are on :D they look great. I hadn't gotten around to changing

hehe that sounds like dad's description of a soccer game where both teams were so evenly matched there wasn't much interesting to watch :P Yay for your team winning! :D :D laughs I was hunting for those other colours for ages, so I figured the plain ones would be easier to buy while they're still in the CW shop ;) hehe Lick and Rish started following Niamh, so I doubt they'll keep away from the mice for long :P

Thanks :D I had this one saved from yesterday laughs That's a neat outfit you've got today, is he all ready for an early Valentine's meal? ;)

[edit] I got a couple of photos of the showerproof jacket (so far) - I haven't got any photos since I put the sleeves in though :P (drag the pics to the address bar to see them bigger :P)

Front pocket:

Back panels (with a lot of topstitching):

The pair that I got didnt cost too much, so its a nice investment I think. Walking up hill especially when its icy is near impossible. :P

Hehe.. you just know that you are gonna drop your phone at some point and of course its gonna be a puddle right where you drop it. :)

Hope you feel better dear. :) Not much happening here today. Might start knitting a pair of mittens that my friend wants. They look super complicated tho, so I am nervous. :P

https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/missy-c

these are the mittens! I want a pair for myself too, they are so cute. Even tho I rarely wear anything on my hands, as I have very warm hands. lol Even in the winter.

nods as soon as I tried taking a step forwards uphill, my foot slid out behind me :P

laughs yeah, that's almost guaranteed ;)

that's about the summation lol. good luck on collecting them all! :D is that why its so dark now? lol. thanks, Well officially no. Just a normal date. but we can say its vday :D wow its looking spectacular :D and foxy XD

having a brutal wake up today. I'm super groggy and my body aches. lol but otherwise I'm okay :) ooooh those are amazing looking gloves :D I'm sure you'll do well <3

It is nightmarish -- (the pain) Though in this case the nightmare is real. hugs Thanks! That hood was a gift, so it was not new as I wore it once about a month ago or so, but I hadn't worn it for a while. Let me know if you ever want t borrow. I am sad to have missed the red and black one when it was released but I didn't have enough CSC. :/ How are things with you this week? BTW I am seriously loving your HA - it's so cool how you have that candle in there like that!

I bet it is really expensive to live there, especially with heating costs in the winter. hugs I hope you can get to some of the cool places on your list. Australia and Japan have both been high on my list of places to get to one day as well! Greece and Italy also are on my list (a lot of places are on my list I am realizing...) though some things are going to be harder for me. Mostly I a drawn to backpacking or camping - so if there exists a cool place to do that, then I'm down for going! lol I do like Italian cuisine a lot and the beach. I would love to go to the Mediterranean coasts, any country really, and explore the coastal areas.

How have you been this week?

hugs I hope things are going better for you -- are they?
