Gelly Time

It's been a while since I last touched my pens. That didn't sound right but what I meant is that I've spent too much on the Internet that it's been a while since I last doodled. The virtual dosage has exceeded the recommended limit and I know that whenever I feel drowsy in the mornings at work.

Gladly, my brother gave me this planner from Stabucks Philippines. I am not into branded planners but this one's a gift so I have no more excuse to stop writing. Indeed, my handwriting looked like hieroglyphics on the first day I wrote in the diary. The text looked very boring so a sprinkle of scribbles here and there made the entry more interesting.

I actually have so many notebooks from black books to plain white cartridge paper pads. They all have some drawing in it but since there is no date on each page, nothing really pushes me to sketch regularly.

I was also reminded, after cleaning up today, that I still have a lot of gel pens, felt pens and colored pencils stored in my craft boxes. I can see that they are quite bored waiting for me. Guess I'll have to take it one at a time.

Honey, we ran out of ketchup

Another crazy miniature stories from my head.... My friend thinks I should put up a new blog for all those tiny stuff.

The ketchup bottle is empty. Barbie wanted to use it for some burgers but then she has to resort to noodles again. Good thing her aunt sent over some fresh croissant.

It took me days just to make the miniature bread from paper clay. I had to let them dry overnight and paint them. Crocheting the baskets and napkins is quite easy. The only challenge is to be patient with the skinny threads and make sure you have big enough eyes to see where the loops are.

My sis thinks my there's madness in my room after she's seen all those papers and little things I've collected. My mom thinks I'm crazy but she agreed that she would probably have done the same if not for other important things. When I was a kid, my mom made me a doll house and painted it white. I wished we finished it. We were caught up in life. Someday, hopefully we will.

While everyone else was watching the F1 race

Apparently, I am not a big fan of car racing unless I find a very good reason to be one. While the rest of the world was watching the race, I succumbed to my comfortable mattress to finish Season 2 of The Game of Thrones. I guess that makes me a nerd though I've been one since I was a kid and only admitting it now.

The snow-covered mountains of "The North" reminded of Northern California in winter time. Reviewed some of my old photos and decided to paint. If I could just put a fairy somewhere near the trees then it would look like a fantasy scene but decided not to spoil it. My images of fairies are too complex that I'm still having a hard time laying it down on a flat paper.

Meanwhile, my dolls were waiting for me to be played with but not in a pervert manner. When I was a kid, my sister and I had those kitchen and bedroom sets where we pretend Barbie and friends would come to life. Playing with dolls is much more different now that I am adult. It's more of making miniature pieces and taking photos of them. I'm glad Barbie never had a problem posing for me. If it had been a real model, I would have already failed at initiating a conversation with her.

A few weeks ago, I printed out some miniature magazines. When I posted them in Facebook, most people thought they were life size. I'm not really in hoarding magazines though I have bought a few to serve as my references.

Barbie couldn't decide which magazine to bring along with her. She needs to meet someone at the park and thought that some reading material would do her good while waiting.

And off Barbie went. J-doll stayed at home all dressed up. She's never changed into anything else since the day she lived with Barbie. She sat on the sofa and I saw how picture perfect her stockings were. These stockings has got to go eventually. I have a casual outfit planned for her but I haven't started sewing it yet.
