Miss Kiki Turned 8

It was not too long ago that I posted about Miss Kiki's 7th birthday celebration. I felt like I blinked and the 8th birthday passed! This year I told her that we would only celebrate at school and wouldn't be doing any parties outside school.

For this year's goody bags, Miss Kiki decided that she wanted to share books with her friends. She wanted to write it herself, so she started writing a few months prior. After several re-writes, she typed it up on the laptop and got working on the illustrations. Every time she had drawing lesson, she did a picture for her book. All I did for her were scanning, putting the pictures and story together, and then got them printed and bound.


The theme for her birthday this year was Kiki's Delivery Service. We wrapped the books in black tissue paper, tied red ribbons on them, and Miss Kiki drew cat eyes on each package. They represent Jiji and Kiki's ribbon. She worked really hard for them and we had a lot of fun working together.




For the school celebration, I ordered a Kiki's Delivery Service themed cake from Le Soho Cupcake as I did every year before. I was fortunate enough to have a friend that happened to be in Japan when she decided on a theme so I asked them to get us some small models. Thanks so much A and C! You really made her day. Having had the toy models, I simply ordered a bakery themed cake and it turned out wonderful! They even made Kiki a fondant broom to match. I also love the details of the window view they made. 










Well the cake didn't survive the little hands... Before I knew it the roof was already off. I tried my best to put it back on but well, I'm not a cake master. Oh well...







For lunch we treated the class with a mini bento from Mori Express. I custom ordered it to be Kiki's Delivery Service themed as well.








Oma also came to celebrate but she came a little too late. Too bad. After school we went to Gandaria City because Opa also wanted to celebrate with her.


For dinner celebration, Miss Kiki requested Pizza Express so we went to Senayan City. I ordered a small Classic Chocolate Cake from Betterchocolatethannever in Senopati. I moved the toys and broom from one cake to the other :D.


Tante F gave her a Magic and Science kit and it entertained her for many hours... :D








And... more pictures of the torn down cake...



Once again, Happy 8th, Kiki! We love you to the moon and back. XOXO

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.  I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically  "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

Japan Winter Holiday 2017 Part 7 - Otaru Sakaimachi

On our second day in Otaru after we had breakfast and ice cream , we continued walking to Sakaimachi. This shopping street is one of the busiest in the city and is where a lot of Otaru attraction is located. In front of one of the stores there, we saw this cute dog wearing a Minion outfit. Of course Miss Kiki jumped and squealed and asked if she could pet it. We asked permission from the owner to take a picture with it. Along the street they have rock statues in the shape of famous characters like Anpanman and Mickey Mouse. With Anpanman It was a very nice day, we were able to walk around and had fun without feeling cold even though there were a lot of ice and snow. Check out the platforms they set up on the hill. We think that it's to prevent snow slides... Most of the buildings there were old style,,,  Many shops sell fresh seafood and they would cook it for you by order. As we walked past a souvenir shop, we saw a poster for these snowball make...

Spring in Egypt Part 9 - Luxor Temple

At the time when we arrived at Luxor temple it was already after dusk and it became a little difficult to take photos. I compensated by setting my camera ISO to 4000 to make tripod-less picture-taking possible even though the grains became more visible. Just like the previous nights, the moon still looked round to me. I wasn't sure which one of those moons was the actual full moon. We walked around the temple first with Michael for explanations about the temple. In the distance we were able to hear the adzan calling the people for prayer. Situated in the east bank, the construction of the temple was started by Amenhotep III, continued and finished by the famous King Tut and Horemheb, and then added on to by Rameses II and finally by Alexander the Great. Unlike the other temples we had previously visited, this temple is not dedicated to a single cult/god. Instead, it is used as a place to rejuvenate kingship. May of the kings were said to have been coronated at this temple. ...
