When there is a special occasion to celebrate - announcement of a new family member, a promotion, much awaited retirement - the men would usually smoke to celebrate. Good quality cigars in particular - Middleton’s cigars, Dutch Masters, Alec Bradley Overture, Camacho etc.

But what is someone in the group doesn’t smoke at all?? Even that fact shouldn’t stop anyone from celebrating with a cigar.

Chocolate cigars that is. My father in law just quit smoking. Cigars would have been an easy to thought of gift for Christmas, but since he doesn’t smoke no longer. A chocolate one would be as great I suppose. All the niceties of a cigar only sweeter.

These past few weeks I have found the joy of making cute things. That is after I got my hands on the “Cute doll” book by Aranzi Aronzo.

Here are a couple of my project from that book.

Took me 4-5 hours to do them each. Being a total noob at sewing and also sewing by hand really made it rather slow to finish one project. Sewing, crocheting, knitting are not really fat burners exercises, but it can be rather tiring sitting and sewing for hours when you are not used to it.

But did I have enough of craft already? Surely not! Cause I’m getting myself more books to teach me to make more cute stuffs.

Waiting patiently for them to arrive in the mail…..

Due to the current economy situation, most of us are in a rather tighter budget for Christmas presents this year. Many would say, if you can’t buy them make them! That’s exactly what I’m going to do.

I got myself an aranzi aronzo cute doll book to teach myself how to make kyuuto (cute) dolls for the nieces.

Looking at the how to make, it seems rather easy to make these cute things.

Making these wouldn’t cost more than $2 and maybe 1 hour or 2 to make one. What’s more, it would be extra special because there’d love in every stitch.

You can always go for an xbox 360 for a gift, but if you are poor like me, making cute things like these as gifts could not go wrong. Because, who doesn’t like cute things??

Here, at my place I can feel that the weather is changing and the temperature is dropping slowly. Seems like Summer is ending and Autumn will be greeting us anytime. Soon will be packing up and store the summer air filters and Summer clothings and bring out the warmer clothes and cold weather gadgets.
