Craft, games and more


My Little Pony by Gameloft is a 10E/10E favourite especially after watching the show.





I have to be in the right mood to play the 10/10E Cooking Dash game by Playfirst, or else I fail the level spectacularly.





This week I got 2 10/10E games from Budge, both Strawberry Shortcake games, Puppy Palace where I get to groom and play with the girls' dogs and Sweet Shop which is like the other Strawberry Shortcake 10E/10E game, Bake Shop- in both sweet treats are made. Although free to try it costs money to unlock most of the levels, but its not horrendously expensive & I don't buy the equipment upgrade pack as it's unnecessary.




I also played more of 10E/10E Eternal Sonata, getting annoyed when I had to leave whacking monsters with a cute blue parasol when the game made me switch from Polka to some brothers whose name I can't quite remember.



Craft wise I learnt how rpto make a granny (square) hexagon...




...and I've almost finished this summery blanket...
