May the 4th Be With You

Aunt Pam is babysitting and she brought over the Star Wars movie on VHS and a box of C-3P0's cereal. Fun times!

Story Time. Starring Penny and Jones.

This is Penny, Jones's little sister.  She is a Lati White Mystic Bayer head on a Pukipuki body.  Her adorable jammies were made by Jen, over at Spampy.

Story time is at 7:00.  It is now 7:06.  Penny is not fond of waiting.

7:09.  Still waiting.

7:13.  Penny takes matters into her own hands.

Penny:  You are late.  You were supposed to read Horton to me 13 minutes ago.

Jones:  I'm busy.

Penny:  If you don't read to me right now I'm telling Mom that you were playing Pac-Man when you were supposed to be studying for your french test.

Jones:  You are very devious for 4.

Penny:  You have not even begun to understand the extent of my powers.

7:20.  Jones Hears a Who.

Jones:  "Because, after all, a person's a person, no matter how small."

Penny:  That's right!  And that is why I should not have to wait an extra 13 minutes for my story!

New Neighbours

A new family moved into the neighbourhood, and Robin Goodfellow has been doing some babysitting.
 

Underoos!

Owen got some very special underwear this week - Superman Underoos!  Apparently they actually have super powers!  Good thing octopuses have 3 hearts because poor Verne looks like he might have a heart attack!

Owen's Underoos were made by Jen over at Spampy Stuff.  She makes great clothes for tiny BJDs.  Check her out!

Owen's Room

People collect dolls for all sorts of reasons.  I collect them because I like to make them stuff.  It is so much fun to imagine a character in its own little world and then try to create that world.  Owen, my Pukipuki Piki, is a 5 year old boy.  Pukipuki are 11cm tall.  When I build things for Owen and his older sister, Meggie, I try to stick to 1:10 scale.  I have been working on Owen's room and it is a lot of fun making little boy things (reminds me of when my 14 year old was that age)!  Still some more work to do, but I am pleased with it so far.

Grab a Book and Read with your Octopus!

I got a little carried away making tiny picture books!

Movie Night.

Meet Verne.

Owen has an imaginary octopus.  His name is Verne.

Verne was knit using a pattern by Hansi Singh.  http://www.ravelry.com/projects/jaybirdfinnigan/octopus-2
