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??

It is October and Christmas is just 2 months away. For some it is time to lose  the extra weight so they can look good when meeting up with relatives and friends at Christmas - time for major exercise work out regime or finding the weightloss pills that works - for me it is the time when I start my Christmas shopping. I like to start early so that I can look around more for nice things to buy at a good bargain.

Although Christmas time can be such a pain on the pockets, but I still love to shop for the kids presents. The happy looks on their faces when they see what the got is a reward on its own.

Since I was looking around for mp3 players for children as a Christmas gift, here are a list of a few good ones on the market that is made specifically for toddlers and kids aged 6 and up.

Sweet Pea baby’s first mp3.

Fisher price mp3 player.

First MP3 player from crayola.

Playskool’s Made for me mp3 player.

Princess max mp3 system. The mp3 player comes complete with docking speaker system with a remote control.

Looking at these mp3 players I imagine it sure is nicer to be a child of the 21st century.

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.
