lol I can tell how excited you are. :P I bet the room(s) will look great tho!

They are very fortunate to get clothes from you. :D It sure takes a lot more effort than buying something. :)

One would think so, but nope. Not this part of the country does, which is more than fine with me. They say norwegian people are born with skies on their feet, but I certainly were not. :P

I think I need about 5 more, but I've had duplicates so far today (didn't bother with the guaranteed zap :K :P) hehe that's true ;) I love the HA today, those two look like they're up to no good laughs (skip to the bottom of this post for K's hoodie)

that sounds like it was a lot of fun! :D The outfit looks incredible! You're going to be a mini celebrity with that shoulder puppet ;) Awww those chickens look even cuter now :D :D Thanks :D I wanted to show off the background, and I coudn't resist using both balloons ;) I figured as I was going to be earning points with Niamh this term, it'd be easier to just bribe the Sorting Hat put her in Gryffindor laughs I've been sewing an early Christmas present for K (my cousin's 2 year-old son) - Sparky heard some new words while I was having to unpick the seams 😊 but I've finally got it finished :D (skip down for the pic)

I guess as well it depends if you're on a hill or in a valley too - if we get a small amount of snow on the road, about a mile down in the valley they usually just have rain ;) One year I'd love to be in North Wales for the winter though, just to get some 'real' snow ;)

I finally got the hood to co-operate! :D I used a zigzag stitch instead of the stretch stitch, just in case I had to unpick it again ;) I just hope it'll fit him (it should, as I made a 3 and he's only 2 and a half :P) Just need to get it wrapped and posted now :D (that'll be K's early Christmas present) :D

mum happy makes everyone else happy I suppose.

I got one of the experimental colours with the guaranteed zap. You can do both XD Why thank you :D lol needed to play with a few of the new items. I love what you did with Niamh today :D that crown looks surprisingly pretty haha. ooh the hoodie looks fantastic :D and yay for new words for Sparky ;)

yeah, I just was feeling stingy and didn't want to fork out 250 wiz tokens and the sP :P Thanks :D I was surprised how well the crown went with the hair to be honest ;) :D I just hope Sparky doesn't repeat them! 😊

haha I can't blame you there. me too actually hehe if he was a cat he'd so learn them cos they love doing what you don't want them too haha.

I love the outfit today! :D What're the wings he's wearing? ROFL well, he's certainly good at doing things we don't want him to :P He's eaten a hole in the cloth that goes over the cage, and pooped up the outside of the cage bars and his water dispenser o.O He is getting the hang of talking though, yesterday he told me "it's raining" three times.... even though it wasn't ;)

I sure did get to see real snowy winter weather in Iceland, even tho we were there in April. lol Wales sounds like a great place to visit, I bet its pretty scenic. ;) Like much of Britain.. from what I have seen on the BBC programs I have watched before. :P

Yay for winning over the hood! :D Its better to have it slightly big than just large enough to fit him I would say. Fingers crossed! Its always hard to say until you try it on them. It does look adorable! :D Great job on it! :hugs:

lol survived another day at work here. tomorrow is a long shift. 2 -22.30 so wont be around much.

The chickens are doing really well! They are very snuggly, and they seem to really enjoy their baths. I think it's like social preening for them. I like those too, and all of the wearable candies! I need to collect them all. Ooo, that's a very good Jaxon Skelly costume today, well done! :D

Thanks! It was a lot of fun, we will have to go again next year. The shoulder puppet is pretty neat, I designed him and had him custom made as a gemstone phoenix. He has sparkles on his feathers, too. I will have to see if I can find a better picture of him. Thank you, I like how their colors came out this time. It looked great! I like today's too, you did a really nice job with incorporating the moon. :D Yeah, that makes sense to have them in the same house. ;) Aww, that bear is adorable, I love the hoodie! That must have taken a lot of time and patience. It paid off though, he looks like he is store bought, you did an excellent job! Hopefully Sparky won't pick up any of those new words. xD

hehe but were you expecting it to be quite so snowy there in Spring? ;) nods I posted it today, so by the weekend it should arrive (and they're forecasting cooler weather for Monday so hopefully then he'll get a chance to wear it!) :D

You definitely need a photo of that! :D sits and admires your HA that looks amazing! What's the purple background(s) you've used? hehe well the bear is store bought (I just needed something to model the top :P), but K won't grow out of the top until after the winter laughs :D I tried to keep the radio on while I was sewing, just to distract Sparky from learning anything he shouldn't! ;)

why thank you :D er the teal looked wrong without the teal jacket. haha that sounds like "fun" -pats Sparky- haha so he's put in for a job with the weather man huh? ;) Niamh look lovely today :D very witchy the moon is brilliant :D

using the extra wealth for Christmas or have other plans?

aww bless. THat's sweet. haha I knew you'd like those bow-y candies why thank you XD had fun with it. Glad it looks like him xD I love all the purple and oranges today :D

Aha, I dug up a photo of my phoenix puppet. :D He's not wearing his cape here, so you can see all of his feathers and sparkles. His name is Cygnus, by the way. =) I named him after the swan constellation, because his coloring and sparkles reminded me of stars in the night sky. I would have named him after the phoenix constellation, but it's just called "phoenix," so that wouldn't be very original. xD

Cygnus

It's too cute, they close their eyes and snuggle with me while I blow dry them. xD The drying is their favorite part of the bath. I am so predictable. xD I like the brightly colored foreground filter ones too, but I haven't been lucky enough to get any of those yet. I've also had no luck getting the bird zapper skin yet. x.x I have been doing the once a day guaranteed new skin, though. The normal one keeps giving me skins I have collected already. xD Yeah, it totally does! I like how you mixed his colors up a bit. :D Thanks! I thought they went together and looked festive, and Rain wanted to try the new wig and the bonus weekend sleeves. ;)

aww how precious. hehe well its more girly and I know you like girly xD Hopefully you'll get your bird skin soon :D mhm it looks perfect. XD oh I didn't realise they were the bonus weekend thingies.

that worked perfectly :D And speaking of perfect, I love the panda look today! What's the shoes she's wearing? ;) hehe I think he's a little more accurate than the weather men at the moment (at least it looked like it might rain when he said it was :P) Thanks :D I wanted to try the moon on a plain(ish) background to show it off more ;)

that looks incredible! I love the colours :D :D And Cygnus is a great name (I agree that Phoenix would be a bit boring for a name :P) 😮 Whoa, that's a lot of layering! I wouldn't have thought it was three backgrounds under the moon! If K (and his parents) like the hoodie, then I can make him a larger one for next year - the pattern goes up to age 8 laughs hehe Sid never learnt any swear words, but we tried teaching him "hi-diddly-ho" (like Ned Flanders).... Sid ended up saying "diddly" like a swear word o.O :P Sparky doesn't say 'diddly', but he tends to shout "coo-ee" and sound really angry if he wants attention 😇

I love your panda too xD so cute. oh these are one of my favourite shoes. I've thought about getting a few other colours too. hehe. hahaha, call the bbc and ask if Sparky can have the job ;) you nailed it

I've got the Hogsmead outfit saved ready for tomorrow too ;) 😇 goes to see what other colours there are Whoa, that's a lot of shoes! finds a couple of pairs that jump onto my wishlist :P ROFL I don't think he's learnt quite enough words yet to qualify :P

ooh awesome :D haha aren't they great shoes? well get on it!

They are pretty awesome nods ;) laughs he's more interested in telling Mum it's raining and doing wolf whistles at the moment :P

which colours did you wind up liking? haha see? He WANTS to be on the weather ;)

the red ones, and potentially the houndstooth ones if I can make them work with a couple of outfits next time I play in the wardrobe :P ;) laughs I think some of his sentences would make more sense than the gibberish-level forecasts they do somethings :P

Yeah, they are sweet. =) Haha, that is true, I like frilly, fancy things. Thanks, I hope so, too! I got the spectrum one today. xD I love River's cute panda look today! Did you coordinate with Paddy? xD

Thanks! I thought the name suited him. ;) Yeah, it looked a bit dark without the filter. xD Oh, that is handy! I bet you will be making an updated version once he outgrows this one. =) Your panda outfit is too cute today! Did you and Raven coordinate? xD Oh my, I love Sid's "swear word," that's hilarious! laughs Sparky's sound is adorable. I had a linnie that used to make a "berrrr" noise when he was angry. xD
