The Great Cheese Robbery by Tim Warnes

10E/10E

(A tale of bravery and a symbol of what mothers and fathers are good at!)

Mummy's Home by Christopher MacGregor and Emma Yarlett

Shopaholic to the Stars by Sophie Kinsella

Animal Rescue: Charlie by Tina Nolan

10/10E

(A cute start to a new to me series that was around when I was growing up!)

Nowhere But Here by Katie McGarry

Young Adult

10/10E

(Highly rereadable awesome tale about the daughter of an American motorcycle gang!)

Watched

Fairytale The Tale of the Seven Dwarves

Animated film, English version

6/10E

(Without a heroine for most of the story I got bored.)

Aikatsu: Season 2

REWATCH! - Music Idol Anime, Japanese version

10E/10E

(Even though I knew there are many more episodes after the girls graduate in episode 75/6, I too cried along with Ran, Ichigo, Aoi and the others at Sakura's moving speech...)

Maria Watches Over Us: Season 1

REWATCH! - School Drama Anime, Japanese version
10E/10E
(Each time I watch this I understand it a bit more. Yumi has accepted Sachiko's rosary now!)

PriPara

REWATCH! - Music Idol Anime. Japanese version

10E/10E

(I'm happy now Sophie is in a team with Lalaand Mireille ^o^)

Once Upon A Time

REWATCH! - Fantasy drama, English version

10/10E

(Loving this fun series more on this rewatch!)

Spice and Wolf

REWATCH! - Slice of life Anime, English version

10E/10E

(It was ironic that I saw the episode where Holo was ill & extremely grumpy about not being able to do much right when I was super tired and not able to do anything except watch shows...)

Gunslinger Girl

REWATCH! - Assassin Anime, English version

10E/10E

(A quiet episode because one of the girls and her handler (they are cyborgs...) got killed, so the others are being sent away/monitored. Triela got a lot of screen time – I love how many teddy bears she has in her room!)

My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic:  Season 4

Anime, English version

10E/10E

(Got more Cutie Mark Crusaders screen time – although the 3 fillies did approach a situation in not entirely the best way.)

Games, Craft and More

Games I've only played on the 10E/10E...

...Gameloft My Little Pony and Ice Age Village, which has been mostly leveling up although I did get the wombat for IAV. Oh, also been playing on Winx School but haven't got significantly further on that. 

Craft wise I've been busy with crochet – made these gorgeous 100% cotton dishcloths! There is a 5^th which I found after I took the photo, they are now for sale on my Etsy store!

I'm working hard on my competition prototype (emoticon blanket) – here's my progress so far! By the time you read this I hope to have finished it & be starting on the actual competition piece.

Sewing wise I haven't done a lot – did some more of the lettering, although somehow ran out of thread so will wait until I've finished it then get in touch with the company and see if they can send me some more. I also did the little heart beneath the word 'family'. Not sure if I did any more than that. Hope to do a bit more on Wednesday, although naturally all effort is going into getting my competition piece ready. I think it might have to be smaller than planned just so I can finish it by the start of May.
