Christmas Doll Meet

Another Doll Meet so soon after the last one? I guess with Christmas looming there aren't too many times left to have this meeting, so the last doll meet of the year took place last Saturday, December 11th, in Maple Ridge. That's the first time I've also been in Maple Ridge... I wished I remember to take some photos of the locale. Oh well, on with the meat-y part of this meet!

The photos didn't turn out so well, so I had to put some of them aside for quality sake... Even these ones aren't too great, but I did some fixing up in Photoshop. Not enough light unfortunately. I'm also still learning names of the people there and had a hard time remembering their dolls' names, so bare with me ^^;

Lots of dolls again, but this month we decided to get as much Christmas theme as possible. The reindeer headpiece is for human, but seems to fit fine there ^^;

Neko hoodie! Maybe I should get one for Azunyan...

Here are Azunyan, Saber and a few new friends. Saber wearing the Rement Marching Band Leader costume, which is a bit too small for her ^^; The doll in the white dress (which looks almost like Nanoha or from Trinity Blood) is owned by the hostess, Reaper of Leaves. Apart from her big head, she's a good size match for my little'uns.

Very cute shoes. It took a lot for me to stop from swiping them... LoL, JK JK!

We were watching Christmas movies as well. This is the first time I saw Elf ^^;

Sexy lady doll with the fishnet stocking :3

And a cute lil Christmas tree ^o^

Pretty dolly! The owner showed us the doll's thighs as well...... Very lifelike ^^;

Cute sweater ^^

The angel had to rest after sitting on top of the tree for so long...

Nyaa~

And yes, I bought a new furniture for Azunyan! The seller let me have it for cheaper than what she bought. It fits perfectly for Azunyan. I don't have to sit her on the flat surface anymore where her twin tail could bend.

Saber getting friendly with Rei ^^;

The Candyman thought he forgot to bring Rei, but she was actually in his bag the whole time, lol. Now Rei and Saber can be... CLOSE friends ;)

Someone came late, but brought a few more gorgeous looking dolls. She let me handle them even though I was a bit nervous to hold them, lol. The outfits are matching because they're handmade! Gorgeous!

Bluestarbaby forgot her memory card so I took a photo of this for her... But I think the one she took with her phone will probably look better than this ^^;

Another cute pose ^^ This was the only photo I took with a flash. Kinda worried in case someone doesn't like me taking photo of their doll with a flash.

Lethal Azunyan

Careful Hoi Hoi-san... Big Sister is watching,...

Another pretty doll. She looks like she has Saber Extra's dress with Saber Alter hair :D

Careful... He's armed and dangerous!

Lots and lots of food too. I had quite a fill of snacks, veggies and cakes. The brownie above is made by a friend who just came to Vancouver (Coquitlam to be exact) from Singapore. Let's call her J.S. for now, and no it's not Johann Sebastian :P

This is also a gingerbread that she made. I didn't really have the skills to make a gingerbread man so I didn't make one, lol. I would've love to make one with ahoge :P

That's it this year for the doll meets! I had lots of fun in the ones I went to. Hope to see you again next year ^o^

Yuri Mania 22: A Very Lily Christmas

Gokigenyou minna-san! Meri Kurisumasu! By the time this is posted, it should be Christmas or Christmas Eve. I don't usually plan on doing Christmas posts because I'm sure there will be lots out there, but these ideas for yuri 4koma cannot escape my mind! And wow... I haven't done a Yuri Mania since September 0.o


So I won't delay it any further...

The Melancholy of Saber Lily Part 29

Don't you just love Google Image Search? You can find any pictures such as mistletoe or lilies. Oh yes, I could've just gone with the innocent scene like Haruhi stealing a kiss from Saber under a mistletoe, but that'd be too boring... What Haruhi's singing is also on purpose, lol.

Oh and don't forget that Kyon's there briefly. I had a hard time putting Haruhi on top of Kyon because her skirt is too stiff, so I had to shift her a little. Hmm... what else is Kyon thinking about at that moment...?

The electric chair! A very dangerous wrestling move!

The Melancholy of Saber Lily Part 30

I was just asking for mom to spare a wrapping paper that's not able to be used anymore... but she wrapped it for me anyway! Thanks mom! Now, I know how to wrap a box too, mind you, but she didn't mind. I thought about cutting through the box and the wrapping for Haruhi's ribbon/bow to come through, but that might ruin it. I settled with what's here. Ssshhhh... Don't tell anyone, I used the work's colour laser printer to print out the lilies cutout before I take off for 1.5 weeks from work. So now we got a lily box as well ^^;

Don't forget, all of these 4koma and the previous ones can be enjoyed at The Melancholy of Saber Lily website!

Lastly, around this time I also had a Christmas pot luck with my co-workers on the last day. We usually make something to bring, but this year they decided to just buy pizza. I still made something anyway though. I spent the whole night on Monday to make these Cheeseburger Cupcakes that was referred through Chun on Twitter. I figured it was interesting enough to make it and make it a surprise for everyone who's seen it.

Pardon the crumbs around the pictures ^^;

The sesame seed really add to the touch. The "recipe" said to use orange juice to stick it on the top of the cupcake, but the ones I made were sticky enough that I could just place them on top and press down a little with a knife.

I realized that the "ketchup" and "relish" icing are green and red which are Christmas colours too! The yellow icing is supposed to be cheese, but it can also be mustard ^^;

In total I brought in 19 and came back with only 2 left. It was quite successful! If I make it again next year I'll probably try to use brownie in the middle instead of normal chocolate cake.

I hope you all have a very good Christmas and/or holiday season! ^_^
