Boston 2019 - Part 4 Boston Public Library

The bright sun was harsh for the eyes but we donned our shades and continued walking. Our destination was the iconic Boston Public Library located right next to Copley Square. 








Copley Square
The library building wasn't difficult to find. The old building has a newer building built and attached to it. The massive library takes up a whole block between Boylston and Blagden Street, and Exeter and Dartmouth Street. We entered from the door closest to Copley Square and made our way around the library... There were so many things to see within the library itself, even when you don't plan to read a book. Just be sure not to disturb other visitors who were actually there to read.

Gas lights (not sure if they are still gas powered)

Entrance door

















And here is the most instagrammed part of the library...





Microfilm collection
The children's library and teen's library were located in the newer building, and they were very nicely decorated and organised.







When we finished self-touring the library, we found ourselves starving. We made our way to Luke's Lobster just around the corner. On the way there we spotted this cute mural and stopped for a few seconds for pictures.





And we finally arrived at Luke's Lobster! I ordered the Luke's Trio with side soup and drink to try all three types of seafood rolls they had to offer. They were all good but I liked the crab roll best. A few days later we found a lobster roll we liked better but more on that later...



Luke's Trio
After lunch we went to the Apple Store to get my iPhone fixed and hung out in the area while waiting for it...



From there we went back to our hotel and moved to another place I booked for our trip in the Seaport area near the convention centre. Please stay tuned for the next post!

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!šŸ˜Š 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...
