The Incredible Adventures of...: 2009

Christmas Break

We made a Totoro-snowman, here he is just a few minutes before he is demolished by the children in our street:

We also partially made the snowman on the left, but the same boys had already taken his head when I took this photograph... It looked like a monkey/red panda/penguin. A very interesting combination...

I love SNOW!

I felt bad for The Barber, because we never got round to celebrating his birthday, so I made him this pie:

It was a very good Monchou-pie!

Oh No!

Even though most of our boxes are already unpacked, we haven't found our scanner yet. Which makes uploading pictures really hard. Which is why I'm typing this, instead of making a comic about it.
Having settled in somewhat now, I have taken over our tiny little workroom (The Barber put all of his stuff, plus our old dinner table in the room so he could have a place to draw. As soon as he was finished, I sat down, and have so far refused to move my stuff out of the way, although I don't think he minds...), and am now working on a little film. It's a Russian folkstory about a frogprincess. I worked for two days on four little dolls, and they are adorable! Especially the King, I made him a dress, of which I am very proud. I also took plenty of pictures, but we don't actually have The Internets yet, so it might be a while until I can upload them succesfully. I also made the castle (I love LEGO!), and will begin working on the three princesses. And the three witches, which I had forgotten until I reread the story a little while ago. It all looks a little dodgy, but it's a lot of fun to do, really.
So that's how I'm keeping busy (that, and unpacking boxes).
