Summer in North America 2018 Part 5 - Port Credit and Hamilton

On a Saturday afternoon, my SIL's SIL and her mom (haha is that confusing?!) took the three girls to a musical. It was Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory broadway musical. Thus, we all went to Toronto in two cars, including grandpa. While DH, his sister, her husband, and I went to Port Credit for a bite and a little stroll by the water.

Delphinium


Port Credit area is not too big but it's not too small either. The marina was full of parked boats and yachts with the owners and friends enjoying a beautiful summer weekend on the boat deck. Some of them even brought their pets on board and they have life vests for them.





Check out my SIL's dress. Doesn't she look gorgeous in it? I think I will make myself a skirt like that one of these days... I had worn my matching batik fabric (matching with Miss Kiki) that day, 'diaper' pant style. Usually this style is worn longer but because it was a hot day I tied it shorter. However, after wearing it for a while I decided that it wasn't very comfortable that way because it kept opening up really high so when we finished walking around I changed it to a wrap skirt instead. :D No more diapers!













We got back to my SIL's SIL's home (is that even more confusing? LOL) just before the kids came back from the musical. They had a lot of fun! We then gathered for an early dinner and headed back after a little bit of play time.
















Finally it was our last day in Toronto. We took some family pictures before grandpa drove us to Hamilton airport. We didn't go through Toronto Pearson this time because I came across a very good deal on a Westjet flight at CAD 99 per person from Hamilton to Winnipeg.


















Before we were dropped off at the airport, we made a stop at the Canadian Warplane Museum located just right by. It turned out that they had a special event going on that day so even though the tickets were a bit more expensive we got to see a few old planes in the air and operating.

As the name describes, the museum had many different planes on display. Some large, some small. I'm not too familiar with the different types but it was cool to see them anyway. Below are some pictures from the museum....

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...

Labuan Bajo 2023 Part 3 - 3 Days 2 Nights Diving Trip With Chakana Liveaboard

  Photo credit: Lukas Rissing @thestudypacker A live-aboard experience is one of the highlights of Labuan Bajo. It has been on my bucket list for a while but every time I tried to go, something just didn't work out.... until now! The opportunity arose to join an impressive-looking boat this year and the dates matched Miss Kiki's holiday perfectly, how could I not take this rare chance! With less than a month to prepare, we booked plane tickets, accommodations, and whatever equipment we thought we might need. So off we flew to Labuan Bajo with little preparation and a lot of faith. ;) You can read the first and second parts of the trip in my previous posts. After we checked out of our hotel on the third day, we went to the pier and hopped on to a dinghy that took us to Chakana Liveaboard, a 47-meter-long phinisi-style yacht that was going to be our accommodation for the next two nights. My heart raced as we approached the pretty boat and spotted a group of staff excitedly wavi...

World of Ghibli Exhibition Jakarta 2017

A few months back I received an email about World of Ghibli exhibition in Jakarta. My skeptical brain immediately thought, "Aah, how good could it be... I've visited the museum in Mitaka   and it's probably not going to be any better." Fast forward to August, a few of my Japan loving friends mentioned that rumours said that the displays are very good, made by Indonesians in cooperations with Ghibli representatives from Japan. In fact, so good that the Japanese company plans to take the displays and give them a home in Japan. Well hearing this from several different people definitely piqued my interest and I decided to check it out. It turned out that Miss Kiki and DH also wanted to go so I bought tickets from Traveloka  because they had a sale.  In the morning of our visit day, I asked Miss Kiki if she wanted to dress up as Kiki when she goes and she excitedly said yes. I made her a red bow headband with Cotton and Steel's Supreme Solid in Bandana  ...
