asking for trouble

Weekend Wrap Up

Got something exciting from the printers today. Still another part to arrive.

I had a few exciting parcels in the post this week, including this very colourful one! There’s still one more part to arrive before I can show you, but you might be able to take a guess from my sneak peeks.

Things I’ve enjoyed this week

Picross e3
I heard there was a new Picross game coming out this month so I had a search on the eShop. Imagine my surprise to find there were TWO new games! e4 isn’t out for another week or two, but I already powered through the easy levels of e3. I love Picross and I don’t even care that many of the puzzle solution pictures are absolute nonsense these days – it’s all about the solving. I haven’t played any other DS games since I got Animal Crossing last June (!) so this is quite major. Not that I’ll stop playing Animal Crossing every day…
(Available from the Nintendo eShop)

Links I Loved

– Pretty floral arrangements in quirky vases at Oh Joy! There are quite a few independent florists in Helensburgh – I really need to check them out and start buying flowers for my own cute vase collection.

– I love Emma’s vintage dollhouse. I wish we still had all our old handmade playthings.

– Also amazing – reversible food plushes at Hello Kitty Junkie. That pretzel!

– I’ve been dipping a toe into K-pop recently, so I was pleased to see the AV Club doing a Gateways to Geekery article to give me some more acts to check out.

Offers and Reminders

– My £1 Zine Sale is still on – go download some stuff for cheap.
– There are 3 new cards in the shop, plus some new stickers too.
