Northern Thailand 2017 - Chiang Mai Part 3

Continuing from my previous post, the lunch we had was good but not great. Very mild dishes in a nice restaurant setting. Somehow I didn't take any pictures.

The next on our itinerary was the Bo Sang Handicraft Centre. Here they displayed how they made paper from tree barks and turned them into their famous paper umbrellas. 














Here they had a souvenir shop where you can buy your own paper umbrellas, handmade papers, as well as other handicrafts. You can choose to buy an already painted umbrella or fan, or buy a plain one and either paint it yourself or have one of the artists there paint something for you for a small fee.


Of course, Miss Kiki opted to paint something herself. She chose an off white paper umbrella and started painting. She took what seemed like forever to paint the thing I had to join in and paint the other half of the umbrella or we would have to wait all day! :D



Next, we went to the fruit market. Thailand had very similar fruits to Indonesia but different. Some are better and some not as good. But..... I love how they completely peeled this coconut from the shell and sell it in a container ready to drink and eat. It's the first time I've seen anything like that! I hope they would start selling those in Indonesia. It would be so convenient!





It was near sunset and we got dropped off at the beginning of the Sunday Night Market. We walked and shopped and ate. The market had a foodcourt area and they had a selection of food to choose from. None of them tasted that great though... I guess Thai Street Food is just not our thing.













We walked and walked and walked. I was really impressed that Miss Kiki didn't complain much. I bought her ice cream as a reward.





Free hand! Amazing hand stability!
This is the end of our day tour. Coming up next: our trip to Elephant Nature Park!

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 Trip June 2016 - Part 9 - Osaka

It was a super hot and bright morning and we were all packed and ready to ride the train to Osaka. We had no excuse to take a taxi so we walked to Kyoto Station... It was a rather short ride considering we moved cities, it was still around noon when we arrived at Osaka Station. The AirBnb property I had booked looked close to the station on the map, but it was further than expected. We were so sweaty by the time we got there, mostly because of our backpacks and our suitcases! I was very impressed Miss Kiki carried her backpack without complaints even though it was pretty stuffed by then. Taken from Osaka Station We had to change our wet and sticky clothes upon arrival, and after a bit of rest we decided to head out. First to Tenjimbashisuji Shopping Street listed on a tourist guide just over 1 km away. It was so hot and sunny I regretted not taking a hat for any of us. I was lucky I hadn't forgotten to bring my sunglasses. When we got there, we real...
