Used a iphone app called photo synth to make the main image, and used photoshop to edit it a bit — mainly to remove some jagged looking edges around.

Ginko and Yoshi look so deformed here XD

Gorgeous day

chun — Tue, 03 May 2011 19:00:39 +0000

Beautiful day out today, really sunny some point in time, but rather cold due to the breeze — when I went out for a moment I felt like I was being blown away :P

A bit hard to focus where I wanted to when the branches were moving about ^^;

Weeds tend to florish as well in nice weather ^^;

Breakfast :P rice balls made from rice from the day before, Aoi nori dusting, inside is canned salmon flakes with mayo :3 yum!

Lunch -cream of mushroom soup and a couple pan fried frozen prata (french onion flavor :3)

Furmonkeys (after their breakfast)

Tabemono~!

Richmond No Kill Shelter

chun — Thu, 30 Dec 2010 05:00:33 +0000

Remember the Secret Cat Haven? (Thank you for everyone who wanted to donate and show their support!) Their affiliated shelter RAPS (Richmond Animal Protection Society or RAPS) is having an open house from 12-3pm on 31 Dec 2010 to bring awareness and gather support. Location and contact information can be found here.

Ginko and Yoshi are adopted from RAPS, and we visit the shelter time to time to update them and also check out their cats :) Posted an entry at ginkoyoshi.com if you’re interested in more photos and a video of kittens at play~!

We’re extremely tempted to take this adorable tabby kitten home :P

Iphone app and ginkoyoshi.com

chun — Fri, 26 Nov 2010 08:00:41 +0000

Had the pleasure to work with Ken (do see his blog entry for how the app came about) on an Iphone app called PapaMama ^o^!

PapaMama, live on iTunes Preview, and App Store, in English, 日本語 and 中文.

When me and husband beta tested the application, we felt that the app is good for coming up with our own picture cards to help us remember/practice our Japanese lol!

But of course my first set of custom cards for the final app are of Ginko and Yoshi, our furkids ^o^! Please check out their new blog at ginkoyoshi.com :)

You can record a voice clip and play it over by tapping each card ^^/

Thanks again Ken, it is a neat experience, and really cool to see how my artwork looks on an iphone/ipad app ^^

Please support the app and leave us feedback!

Paper Lamp shades are delicious

chun — Wed, 05 May 2010 17:00:15 +0000

Ginko thinks paper lampshades are yummy, and futher destroyed our lampshade in the living room ^^;

PS: I knew it was her because I saw her do it right in front of me :P

The first time it was torn was on the last day before we returned from a Japan trip. ^^; The lamp shade had a wire ring which was dragged to the bottom of the pole, tearing the lampshade when it happened :P At that time we didn’t know who did it ^^;

So we cut the paper part shorter and tape the bottom wire ring back as a temporary measure… Ginko probably damaged it again (I think I witnessed it probably, which is how I remember it was her ^^;), by tearing the wire off for the 2nd time ^^;

Finally last week this happened ^^; No way to cover that white bit on the pole there ^^;

We bought this fabric with the idea of replacing the lampshade, I finally got around doing it, nothing too fancy, I roughly hand stitched the fabric onto the wire rings at the top and bottom ^^

At night :P Looks darker than it is ^^;

Cute fabric :3 I cut out a bit for a dollfie dream peasant top ^^;

Naughty smug girl :P

Yoshi’s paw says Hai!

Recently updated my sewing desk a bit with moar Ribba ledges (shelves for my dolls and toys) with help of my husband :3 Having the blythes on the shelves make it easier to put more mess/stuff on the desk lol… Took photos for the record and for the otacool3 workspace submission (will update later on) ^^;

Hope to help husband take some for his submission (muhuhu) and yes… the mess on the desk is starting LOL, I am cutting some pieces for the coming updates ^^;

And one more thing, Mai had a chance to do a Doll show 28 after report :D she couldn’t get online the last 2 days in Tokyo ^^; So grateful that she was able to help me bring some sewing to the doll show XD kya!!

LOL cats

Sorry, been busy ^^; will probably be busy for a while, but have to share these before I forget ^^; be warned tho, I couldn’t stop yawning when I edited these photos ^^;

Yoshi is the King of yawns…

Just when you think he couldn’t open wider…

Princess Ginko got infected too…

LOL

Laughing or yawning?

Seems that she passed it back to Yoshi :P

By now I lost count how many times Yoshi yawned ^^;;

Insert lip smacking sounds

Yawning is so tireding! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Chinka cosplay

chun — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 07:00:37 +0000

Can this possibly be the first Chinka cosplay? Or should it be crossplay since Ginko (our cat) is actually a girl? ^^; Compare with Hibuse (the cat character in Chinka)

The furkids Ginko (Grey girl) and Yoshi (Tabby boy) has been shedding a lot, so I collected a bunch of their fur, not sure what to do… then we heard about Chinka from Danny…

We managed to get Ginko to cooperate for some photos… I used water soluble glue to stick it on Ginko when she was napping (shhh)

I was gonna make up a story about how a box of Hibuse like kitty arrived at our doorstep but you peeps probably won’t believe me anyways…

Unfortunately during the take over of the box by Yoshi, he damaged Ginko’s splendid ahoge in the process ;_;

Yoshi: Om nom nom…

Here’s a couple omake Yoshi shots :P

LOL
