I am a very proud owner of a beautiful art sculpture, from the very talented <a href="http://www.mechtorians.com/" target="_blank">Doktor A</a>!<br />
<br />
"<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">The whimsical steampunk style of Doktor A comes to life in his latest toy, Mr. Pumfrey and His Astounding Mechanised Perambulator. Dave Pressler and Pretty in Plastic teamed up for the original sculpt to capture the intricacies and complexity of Mr. Pumfrey and his steed."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
I love everything about this steampunk piece! The colours and all the details! The handsome Mr Pumfrey fits in the palm of my hand. He is so photgenic, I could take a gazillion photos of him!<br />

This Suki Spider was made especially for Doktor A, and he got to meet Mr Pumfrey before being boxed up and sent to his new home.<br />

<br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #4b4f56; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 0.4cm; orphans: 1;">It was about 2am last night, and I was preparing for bedtime. Just as I was about to use the toilet, I spotted a big spider swimming around in the toilet bowl!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #4b4f56; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 0.4cm; orphans: 1;"><br />I've been dealing with a lot of spiders recently, my fluffy ones, but I was not expecting to see a pretty big spider in the toilet!!! Especially the toilet!!!<br /></span><span style="background-color: white; orphans: 1;"><span style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 0.4cm;">Using a tissue, I tried to fish it out, but instead, </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 0.4cm;">the spider sank to the bottom of the toilet! I ran upstairs to fetch my gloves,so i could scoop him out before he drowned. </span></span><br /><br /><span style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 0.4cm;">Scooping out a spider from a toilet was so much harder than I imagined it would be! </span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; orphans: 1;"><span style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 0.4cm;">As I put my hand into the toilet to lift it out, the </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; line-height: 15.1181px;">movement caused </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 0.4cm;">the water to push the spider deep inside the toilet so I </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; line-height: 15.1181px;">couldn't</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 0.4cm;"> see it! </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; orphans: 1;"><span style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 0.4cm;">I</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; orphans: 1;"><span style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 0.4cm;"> started swishing the water around to check if he was still there and she whirled out, but </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; line-height: 15.1181px;">every time</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 0.4cm;"> I went to reach for him he went back in again. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #4b4f56; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 0.4cm; orphans: 1;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #4b4f56; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 0.4cm; orphans: 1;">This went on for a
while.... and the spider was by now a ball and I was beginning to think it was impossible to get her out. It might have been be kinder to just flush her out... But I was determined to save
her! It's all a bit blurry now, but must have created some kind of
momentum with the water with my hand, and somehow I managed to get her out!! I really don't remember how, but I did it!</span><br />

I moved him one last time and he lept into motion!!! I tried to catch him, so I could take up outside and he almost fell back into the toilet!!! It was all getting a bit too much for me - the thought of having to go through that all again! Flushing the toilet would have been too tempting!</span></div>

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #4b4f56; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 0.4cm; orphans: 1;">As I tried to pick it up, it ran
off and fell under the toilet and just stayed there for a while. Then it ran around while i tried to catch it. Eventually I was able to get it and put it outside. Oh - and I caught another spider which lws also big, but looked very young, that went outside too!</span><br />

This one wasn't easy to catch and he was jumping about! I don't have a problem with spiders, but all of this did freak me out a bit...<br />

I never even knew Tarantula Conventions existed before 5 weeks ago. I was a vendor at ToyCon and it was there I met Mike and his wife Katherine. Mike saw one of my little red spiders and told me all about this tarantula event and suggested I try to get a table there to sell my spiders. I was instantly intrigued and decided it would be something I want to witness, even if I was not able to go as a seller. Mike gave me Ray's contact and a table was instantly reserved for me!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
Now, I am so happy to have been able to get a table before they completely sold out! Not only that, my table was situated right in front of the entrance!<br />

My sister Naomi came with me and was such a big help! She kept things in order while I was just creating chaos... Actually she was very adamant about not coming at first, as spiders are not her most favourite creatures. Luckily she changed her mind, and in the end I think she enjoyed herself, apart from getting hardly any sleep and being exhausted.<br />

My plush spiders were so well received. Both big, and small spiders, found new homes. For me, it really is was so much fun talking to people, as I normally spend most of my days not talking to anyone! And it was even better when someone made a purchase.<br />

I did not have the chance to go around and see what everyone was selling.Because of this, whenever someone came to my table and they were holding a container, I asked them what they had inside. It was fascinating to see what people were buying! Next time, I will have to check out everything!! I like the idea of having a couple of real jumping spiders.<br />

If my parents had not driven that day with all of my spiders, I have no idea how I would have transported everything to Warwickshire. 15 big spiders, would have been a massive problem!! Luckily, my parents were happy to come along. They also enjoyed the day, something they had never seen before.<br />
<br />
Hopefully I we be there again next year!</div>

Ok... I have failed once again to make more time to blog... but I will make up for it after this Sunday!<br />
<br />
I will be going to the <a href="http://exhibition.thebts.co.uk/" target="_blank">31st British Tarantula Convention</a>! Yup, a TARANTULA CONVENTION!<br />
<br />
Hopefully I will have the opportunity to go around and take photos of this unusual and grand event!<br />
<br />
I have spent the last couple of weeks sewing my fingers off, making furry spiders. I'm exhausted.... 3 days to go and i'm still sewing like crazy!<br />
<br />
<br />
This would be my very first Tarantula Convention, so I have no idea what to expect, really. My goal was to make a variety of different spiders, of all shapes and sizes. After making the first few I realized how much work there was ahead of me.... 8 legs is A LOT of legs!!!<br />
<br />
I'm surprised I haven't had any nightmares about spiders yet...<br />
<br />
So if you happen to be in the area or wish to come along, here are the details:-<br />
<br />
<b>The All New BTS Exhibition 2016</b><br />
<b>The Warwickshire Exhibition Center</b><br />
<b>Open from 11.00am-4.00pm</b><br />
<b>Sunday 22nd May 2016</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://exhibition.thebts.co.uk/">exhibition.thebts.co.uk/</a><br />
<br />
Come say hi if you go!<br />

Today was a non-sewing day, as I am feeling a bit under the weather...<br />
<br />
The mini photo-shooting session with the Foxsquatches cheered me up a bit. These foxy little sasquatches struck their foxiest poses for me so they can be listed up on my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/loveSukiSuki" target="_blank">Etsy shop. </a><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Arrrrgh!!! I have once again fallen so behind on my blog posting!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year ( even though now it's February...)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So much as happened since my last post!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The biggest news last year, is that me and Francesco married! I would like to share some photos of the all the preparations and photos of our special day but will save that for another post. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And the works on our house is still on going... Dont' ask...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So...this first post, for the new year, is about a group I am part of. It's called the Crafthulhu Collective. Each month, a member of the group chooses a theme and we then make something in our own style.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This month's Theme is Circus, selected by Angel (from Saint Angel Productions) and what a great theme it is! So many wonderful makes!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Do go say hi, if you do not know them already. They are a super friendly bunch with wacky imaginations.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There were a ton of ideas I wanted to implement! I LOVE CIRCUS!!! Choices.. choices!! It was almost impossible to choose... I grabbed my poi, swung them around and my mind was made up!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I love poi. A character with pose-able arms and legs was required for poi-ing and this was a good opportunity to try something new.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So I began making a character had a little wire skeleton.</span><br />

<br />
I was born and raised in Greater London. I have been going in and out of Central London all my life. And I have been a Londoner for almost the last 4 years so I would say I was a very competent Tube traveler - almost well enough to move around with my eyes shut! But now, I will use the underground with my eyes wide open!!! <br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yesterday, I was on my way to meet my sister at Liverpool street. My
journey started at Clapham South Station and I had to change at Bank. It
was a very regular journey, until something unexpected happened. </div>
<br />
I fell in the gap! Yes, I FELL IN THE GAP! I still can't believe it.<br />
<br />
All I can remember is following a man into the tube, I took a step, and dropped down and was just looking at the floor of the tube, which was almost at my eye level! I didn't move or even make a sound. I was completely startled.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCFNLS949o7zYm3SNpTio5LwqIv5k_cNOhd-pycxsKCUli1CuDmobPRl6QeW2MaRQUBj2-ATINpBakWpHCETU_Ew7i0DKeX8RfpZGOLaSl9ikWCSSDD_-nqnCijnBpgtWCKdNyF2BhVWI/s1600/MindTheGapVictoria.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCFNLS949o7zYm3SNpTio5LwqIv5k_cNOhd-pycxsKCUli1CuDmobPRl6QeW2MaRQUBj2-ATINpBakWpHCETU_Ew7i0DKeX8RfpZGOLaSl9ikWCSSDD_-nqnCijnBpgtWCKdNyF2BhVWI/s1600/MindTheGapVictoria.jpg" height="532" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Then I found myself quickly and gently picked up and placed on the train. I was in a state of shock and embarrassment. Instantly I could feel a bruise on my left leg when I had hit it on my way down.<br />
It was only one stop to Liverpool street, and the whole time I felt eyes on me and the pain in my leg. Silently I was telling myself - don't cry, don't cry, don't cry - and I succeeded until I met my sister. It was probably one of the most ridiculous things I had to explain. <br />
<br />
I did not see the guy who lifted me up. Whoever you are, thank you for saving me, you are my hero!<br />
<br />
Forever now, I will mind the gap... <br />

Yesterday, was my mum's birthday! We strolled around the local park and
my mum showed me a part I had never seen before. It was a serene,
bluebell meadow. Had to go back to the house to grab my camera and the
Sukis to have a quick, mini photoshoot!<br />
<br />
I had a wonderful day, I hope my mum did too! xxx<br />

I am squeezing in a blog post now, before I discover, time has whizzed by without me blogging and it's Winter!<br />
<br />
So welcome Spring!<br />
<br />
Our area looks so pretty with all the flowers blooming. I took my Dragonsquatch for a walk today and found a beautiful pink blossom tree on the street. Unfortunately it was windy, and taking photos with the Dragonsquatch posing between the delightfully pink flowers, was proving difficult. However, I managed to get a couple of snaps.<br />

I've been feeling a bit out of sorts lately... The works on our house is never ending, but I'm not gonna get in to that right now.<br />
<br />
This post is all about my little photoshoot with the Dragonsqautch and the prettiest blossom tree I've found so far!<br />
<br />
It was wonderful to go outside the house and enjoy the Spring sunshine! Today I had a good day!!!!<br />

On my way home, I saw my new friend. This is the second time we have met. I have never seen a cat like this before. Perhaps a mix of Siamese? </div>

There is a story that come with these Sukis... <br />
<br />
Back in April 2011, in Amsterdam, me and Francesco had to party to celebrate us moving to London. For a long time, I have always wanted to have a Dinosaur party and this seemed like the best opportunity to do so! One last, big party with our friends, all dressed in silly costumes!! What could be better??!! There is nothing! :)<br />
<br />
Francesco decided to add the Robot element to it, so it became a Robodino Party! We gave our friends a choice - they could to be a dinosaur or a robot, or both! Some were boring and came as neither!<br />
<br />
Francesco was a Robodino and I was a dinosaur - (Don't ask what kind though) <br />
<br />

Fabric shopping was fun! I cannot remember if the design was influenced by the fabrics or I designed them before getting the fabrics. Either way, they turned out pretty well! I still feel super proud of whenever I see photos, especially Francesco's! :D<br />
<br />
Francesco chose his fabrics and left the designing completely up to me. I remember chuckling as I was sketching it out. The final result remained pretty true to the sketch. <br />

No matter how early I plan to do something, it still always ends up being done at the last minute. I wanted this occasion to be different, but it was not...<br />
<br />
Surpri started on my costume a month early, but I had a terrible mishap on my sewing machine which involved the need going through my finger. After that disaster, I didn't touch my sewing machine until about a week before the party! I managed to make both costumes in time, but I was still sewing on the day!<br />
<br />
The turn out was amazing! So many people made such an effort! We had Transformers and all kinds of wonderful variants of robots and dinosaurs!<br />

2015 seems to be passing ever so quickly! We are already in February and only now am I doing my first blog post for this year! I know its a bit late now, but I wish everyone a very HAPPY NEW YEAR! Normally, I list all the things I plan to accomplish in the new year and 'doing website' in ALWAYS in the list...<br />
<br />
So, this year I am not going to say I will get my website done and will see what happens! ( hopefully this will be the year though)<br />
<br />
Today, I made a very exciting discovery at Columbia Road, Flower Market, London - A pink pineapple!! Definitely a very interesting change from a flower!<br />
<br />
Valentines and Birthdays are the only time I may get flowers from Francesco. I love flowers, so I am always complaining about him never getting me flowers. This year, I may hint for bunch of of pink pineapples instead! :)<br />

I have been very busy with Sasquatch making for Christmas orders. We are also having works done on our basement so things are pretty chaotic right now!<br />
<br />
Stuff everywhere... just utter chaos!<br />
<br />
There was a moment when I was wondering - actually, it was more like of some moments of panic - if I could make all the Suki orders in time, but I think I have everything under control now. :)<br />
<br />
Almost all of the Sasquatches are finished now and are waiting to be wrapped up. <br />
<br />
Next year I am starting Christmas preparations in August!!! <br />

Tidying up the studio was a important prior to the starting all the Christmas orders. Now it looks nothing like this! Also I had my old window and door replaced with new ones so that's exciting.

This is not my Christmas tree. I was at a Chinese restaurant for lunch with my mum and sister, yesterday, and had to take a photo as our Christmas is not ready yet. Our tree is up. We have Sasquatches, many Sasquatches, a little bit of tinsel, lights but it still looks bare. Waiting for my Christmas balls to arrive and hopefully it will look more Christmasy!<br />
<br />
I took yesterday off from sewing and had a very enjoyable day with my sister and my mum. We walked around South Bank, had Chinese for lunch, bubble tea, cake and Korean for dinner.<br />

Last week Francesco, spoke at the View Conference in Turin, about the hair and fur system he worked on at Double Negative and the creatures that were created with it, for the movie Hercules. I went to a couple of other talks too and now I wish I had seen them all! There were speakers from Dreamworks, Pixar, Disney, Animal Logic, Weta, Industrial Light and Magic...people who have worked on movies I love!<br />
<br />
On the last night, there was a dinner for the speakers, held at Circolo dei Lettori. A beautiful restaurant with some interesting art work. <br />

It was a wonderful evening! I was fortunate to meet to many amazing people from the CG industry. Everyone was in good spirits and the food was terrific!<br />
<br />
The highlight of the evening has to be talking with Glen Keane and introducing him to my Lobsquatch! Me and Francesco took Glen to a quiet little room and he happily spoke to us about animation. It was as if time stopped! Thank you Glen, it was truly a pleasure!<br />
<br />
It was my mission to get a group photo before the evening was over. Rounding everyone up was fun but crazy! We found a room but were soon told were were too noisy and had to leave after only one photo! So our group photo was under a bit of pressure to be taken as quickly as possible but we did it! <br />
<br />
Thank you guys for such a great evening!<br />

I love costume parties! It is just the combination of wearing something you would not normally wear and having to design a costume! So, I guess it was only inevitable the Sukis should be dressed up too.<br />
<br />
The Sasquatches are the first victims. :)<br />
<br />
<br />
A friend asked me to make something to do with the sea for his girlfriend. At first, I was goign to make a crab donut, but after doing a sketch, I was not convinced that the design would work. After some thinking, the idea of dressing up something as a lobster came to mind and after a sketch, a Lobsquatch was born! <br />

Our living room is the perfect setting right now, for playing around with light and shadows from a setting sun. I wish to create some dramatic shots of the sukis with natural light. At the same time, I am learning more about my FujiFilm X20, a lovely little camera which I take with me everywhere!<br />

Today was the first day I started sewing since we returned from holiday on Monday.<br />
<br />
I started the day with admiring some of the fabrics I bought in Vancouver. I just love this frosted pink fur, and the green one with blue tips!<br />
<br />Unfortunately, with limited suitcase space, I took only half a meter of each of these. Now I wish I had gone for a meter of each. If my calculations are correct, I should be cable to make 5 Sasquatches in each colour. Booooo.... :(<br /><br />

The top three fabrics are designed by my friend, Georgina, in LA. I was lucky to steal some from her. They are just lovely!!!<br />
<br />
Georgina and Iki kindly let us stay with them during out time in LA. There is so much to report on about our two week sin California, I do not even know where to begin! Will have to tackle that another day, in multiple parts, I think!<br />
<br />
After some fabric prepping, to get back in the swing of things, I decided to try out something new. A Sasquatch in a lobster costume. I like to call this mixture, a Lobsquatch! :D <br />
<br />
For the first attempt, I think he turned out well, although I would like to add a couple of extra details to the next batch.<br />
<br />
Now I'm hooked on playing dress-up with the Sasquatches and cannot wait to start making other costumes for them! My brain is exploding with different costumes ideas!!!<br />

The Aqua Kitties are made of many separate parts that are hand sewn together - paws, feet, arms, legs, whiskers, zip and hammer. <br />

I am going crazy for furniture made of pallet crates! It was not until recently I learned of their names. We actually had a lot of them when we had a delivery of bricks but now we have only one that I can see. Perhaps there are more underneath the gigantic pile of stuff that has take over our garden - bricks, boxes, doors, cardboard, wires, buckets... I am currently sitting by the window that is right next to the garden, so I can see it all!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love the idea that something attractive and useful can be made from these. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Wondering how I can transform my pallet crate...</div>
