Craft, games and more

I've gamed! I made a promise to myself that after leaving my day job on Tuesday for good I'd game every day mostly on my consoles. I have played...

 

 

...the superb 10/10E Gameloft game My Little Pony, since the more I watch the show the more I want to play it. I've managed to get Twilight's castle!!

I've played a smidge of the 10/10E PlayFirst Diner Dash Deluxe, which I'm currently working my way up the levels in the Skylight Lounge.

True to my promise I've recommenced console gaming with a mega cute 10E/10E Sanrio Hello Kitty game which I can't recall the name off the top of my head & requires not too much thought, perfect for when I have a high brain fog day.

Craft wise I'm smiling lots! Made a few dishcloths with an updated design feature of a loop.   I've been trying new shapes like circles and also some pentagon based stars which I'm joining together to make a project.  I've also started a really cool gem picture craft where I put the correct colour gem type stone onto the sticky picture. It's so cute!!
