Gundam ZZ: Elpeo Puru 02

gundam zz cosplay - elpeo puru 2 from winter comiket 2010An artificially enhanced Newtype, Elpeo Puru first appears in the series fighting for Neo-Zeon under Glemy Toto. After encountering ZZ Gundam’s Newtype pilot Judau Ashta, she becomes obsessed with him; a possible side effect of the cyber-enhancement process. She pilots the AMX-004-2 Qubeley Mk II.

Cute cosplay from Winter Comiket 2010! I think she might be the same girl as the first Elpeo, don’t you? Thanks again to Michelle for sending this!

today i'm loving...

These beautiful sea inspired art prints from The Wheatfield... Oh, and that beautiful ampersand because it visually connects the words of these two prints so perfectly... ;)

Thank you so much to everyone for your get well wishes yesterday, my wee man seems to be back to his old self today... :) That is to say, on finishing his breakfast this morning he gave us the usual questioning look... His eyes flicking between us, his cupboard of treats and his empty bowl, as if inquiring as to why we weren't emptying the contents of said cupboard into said empty bowl to fillup the yet unsaid empty (in his mind!) belly... Yep, definitely back to normal... !

My Review:

From the Publisher:
Simple Stitches: the needlearts series for the modern beginner!
New sewers can be stitching in no time, building their skills to create any of 25 fabulous projects. With the help of informative how-to-photography, novices can learn the basic techniques, from using templates to adding binding and piping. Projects include simple home décor items (such as cushions and a cheery buttoned blind) to thoughtful gifts (like a potpourri sachet and a journal cover).

CHERYL OWEN is an author and experienced crafter, dressmaker, fashion designer, and embroiderer. She lives in the UK.

The latest in the “Simple Stitches” series focuses on basic projects for machine sewing. Owen (Candle Making) collects projects for a variety of housewares and accessories and provides step-by-step photographs to boost beginners’ confidence. Though the projects are aimed at beginners and the sewing is simple, the finished goods are attractive. - Library Journal

Dead or Alive: Ayane 03

dead or alive cosplay - ayane 3 from winter comiket 2010Ayane was born as a result of Raidou raping Kasumi’s mother, Ayame. Although she was allowed to stay in Mugen Tenshin, she was always looked down on or generally ignored by many of the clan. Ayane admired her half-brother, Hayate as a way of increasing her self-esteem and lifting her sadness. She is known to have some connections with Ryu Hayabusa since he befriended Hayate and the Mugen Tenshin ninja clan.

Another awesome cosplay from Winter Comiket 2010! I really love cosplays of alternate costumes rather than the original designs. I just wonder which series this was first used in? Thanks to James for sending this!

a very Scottish, summery Sunday afternoon at the beach...

My poor wee man isn't feeling well today... after throwing up all over my bedroom carpet yesterday afternoon (entirely missing the wood floors in the rest of our house, where it would have been so much easier to clean up!) he has been feeling very, very sorry for himself... :(
We were a wee bit worried last night as he refused any food or water, something he never does...ever! But thankfully this morning he seems to be feeling a tiny bit better and has managed to eat and drink a few mouthfuls... we think he must have snaffled some wee tidbit while out on his walk yesterday and it has thoroughly disagreed with him!
He's terrible for hunting out anything edible where ever he goes. There have been so many 'incidents' which have included a french stick, a whole roast chicken, swallowing a large sausage roll in one gulp and lots of other such 'stories' that make you despair and giggle all at once! But one time he gave us a real fright, he had a very lucky escape from serious injury after I had to retrieve a fish hook and length of line from his throat... !!!
Gah, you wouldn't think it to look at his cute face but sometimes he can be a real idiot... but a wee idiot that I wouldn't part with and one that loves being at the beach just as much as I do... :)

Crammond beach, Edinburgh Spanner at Crammond beach, Edinburgh summery grey skies... :( Spanner was here... ! paw prints in the sand digging like a dog posessed... ...makes him so happy! tiny treasure, shell less than a centimetre long... ! I don't want to go home... !

Wishing you all a wonderful day,
Emma, x
