My studio bunk bed is all done! Some choice stuffie friends have been placed on the top now that there is a mattress there. It’s basically a stuffie corral. ๐
Of course it’s also been thoroughly decorated, and I chose Bizcocho and Maplenut to hang on the edge. Everyone seems happy and comfy on the new sheet:
It looks especially lovely in the dark with all the pretty fairy lights on:
So, yeah… it took months to get this from IKEA but I am quite pleased!
My friend Mwako is visiting! We went to Tree Tops Park (where I went by myself recently) and explored some new trails. This time I brought Maplenut along! ๐๐ฐ
Maplenut is excited to get going!
We took so many photos. I love how they all came out.
Found some berries! Most of them were dry. Despite it being just a couple weeks difference the park looked different. Many dry leaves and berries and the water was a lot lower.
This was one big tree!
Something really wonderful that happened is that I was able to get super close to a pair of squirrels. They were so friendly!
Mwako took a candid photo of me trying to interact with them ๐
This was the last photo. Maplenut was all worn out!
Time to hydrate! ๐ฆ
We had a lot of fun. Iโm a bit sweaty ๐๐ฆ
Christopher made turkey burgers for dinner and we watched An American Werewolf In London afterwards! ๐บ
I can’t wait to have another fun day with my dear friend tomorrow.
Iโve been a little quiet recently I know. Sorry about that! Been getting the house looking a little nicer, and decorated, working on commissions, working on my books, and yes, still dealing with my depression too. Itโs still a heavy weight on my shoulders. I am doing the best I can. I hope you are all doing well, too. Anyway this was my lunch today, a cucumber and cream cheese sandwich ๐ฅช ๐ฅ
I allowed myself to game a little today. Maplenut kept me company:
And so did Kotoko! This is a bad photo, but Kotoko is heavy and she wasnโt letting me move really or even breathe!
Then it was time for a snacc:
Something to look forward this weekend –baking seasonal cookies!
Iโm going to a Littles meet on Sunday, and trying to stay busy and cheerful. Hope you all have a wonderful Friday! ๐
I love this yogurt so much! It’s one of my favorite snacks recently.
LuckyBars are another. I always have a hard time finding LuckyBars and they are honestly expensive for what they are but they are not too unhealthy.
My little lady and I have been spending more time together ๐๐ฑ (for those not familiar with Rosie she lost an eye to an infection when she was very small, before we adopted her.)
A buncha huggable pals…
A package came for Christopher and he told me to open it. It was a copy of Collection Of Mana, for me! I was really surprised! ๐ญ๐๐๐
Maplenut hopes youโve remembered to be kind to yourself today. If you had a rough one, donโt forget that tomorrow is another day without any mistakes, a wonderful gift ready just for you. Take what you learned today and make tomorrow better! ๐
Itโs big, but it fits!! ๐งธ๐ฟ๏ธ๐๐๐๐๐
Iโm especially fond of Maplenut because unlike my other plushies I consider him a bit more of aโฆ toddler if that makes sense? Hence why I got him the paci and all. In my head heโs my fussy lil 3 year old. I just adore the perpetually pouty expression he has.
I have personalities this way for all my plushies/toys that are meaningful to me. How about you?
I’ve been busy having fun at Megaplex! It’s the last day of the con for me, so… time for a wrap-up!
Yesterday I got to go to the Crayola store with my friend Snow. It was actually our first outing just the two of us so it felt pretty special. I got a pretty nice haul:
A cute plate, freezer blocks for my Crayola lunch bag, a lanyard and a pen, a cute metal tag, an adorable little plush-blanky crayon, pink crayon socks, a very colorful cup and a patch for my jacket although I forgot to include that in the photo. ๐งธ๐๐๐
Snow and I had lunch at a little noodle bar in the Florida Mall.
It was really good! Iโll have to check if thereโs one down in Pembroke Pines.
Look how cute my new bag is!! Itโs lovingly handmade and featuring a print designed by my adorable little friend Kitty (AKA Blankit). You can still go to her table in the dealerโs den tomorrow and get your own!
She has several super adorable designs! Also featured in this photo are nerd badges by Madshy who has an amazing variety this year, this is literally the best her table has EVER been, go throw your money at her!! Youโll find her right next to Blankit.
The badge in the middle was done by ColbyHedgey on FA who isnโt vending but has the absolutely cutest art ever and you should also be throwing your money at her for commissions! Sheโs fantastic!!
It was apparently this doggoโs birthday judging by his hat.
Itโs ok, pup, getting older itโs not that bad.
This was actually the first photo I took during this con, of Maplenut next to some of the biggest mushrooms Iโve ever seen!
For reference, Maplenut is like 18โ tall. I was impressed.
Here is Maplenut on another photo from Thursday, when I was waiting to give everyone their badges!
I got another chance at a photo with Pacopanda this year!! ๐ผ ๐ So happy to have it to add to my wall! Last time we got a picture together it was really dark because it was poolside (Paco was in-suit) so I wasnโt able to include it with the others.
I wish someone had seen my reaction to this poster by Madshy when I first saw it. I stopped on my tracks like 3 times going likeโฆ is that? Noโฆ butโฆ IS IT?! IT IS!!!!
I absolutely lost my shit in the middle of the hallway. I still canโt believe it! ๐ญ๐๐๐ Here’s a close-up:
I received an 11 x 18 copy that I canโt wait to put up for display! This was part of my prize as one of the winners of the โI love Megaplexโ contest.
I found a rather questionable page in one of the coloring books that Blankit brought alongโฆ
I had lunch with Drake and Mwako before decompressing for a few in my room prior to the Littles meet.
Photos at the Littles meet aren’t allowed, but this was my outfit for it:
I donโt get to wear this outfit too often. Itโs a bit too silly for most settings so I usually only wear it to meets, and those are rare. But I like it a lot. I should wear it more at home.
Outside the meet, I got to take a photo with Jessica and Lexxi to add to my wall!
After the meet, I got changed, and we went to The Knife for our usual goodbye dinner. Thank goodness, Kitty is just tall enough to eat here!
This dinner invariable makes for an utterly amazing evening. My favorite part of this con hands down!
I have a lot of goodies to share… I will be doing that over the next few days. Now it’s bedtime, tomorrow will be a long day (and a LONG train ride!)
Had to roll up the sleeves, but my new friend has some clothing they like. The outfit I had planned didnโt work for them, they looked so uncomfortable wearing it!
Still looking a bit frumpy but I ordered a cheap pacifier that Iโm going to customize so they can wear it.
Moon Landing Oreos? Yes please… ๐ช๐ ๐
