Blankie progress

Hi everyone :)

Bunny has finished 3 pieces of the blankie! :) See photos below and let us all know what you think of it so far :) Size wise it's roughly 10 x 10 inches. The knitted side is made up of little knitted squares sewn together. The material side is sewn on one side of the knitted side.

There will be more big squares and they will all be sewn together when Bunny has got enough made. I'll do more updates when they are ready to share :)

He can fly!

Tonight we watched Superman (1978).

Mama tolded us that this was the film she watched when she was growing up :) It was very impressive, Superman flies and he stops bullets! :D

It was a bit scary in parts but it was okay. I know a lot of people will have seen this film and that a lot of grown ups will be like Mama and watched it when she was younger.

If you haven't yet seen it go and watch it :)

Superhero tag team

This morning we watched Avengers Assemble (2012).

Tag! You're it :P

After I watched Iron Man 3 I was confused because I had questions that weren't answered. Made worse by the hidden bit in the credits of Iron Man 2. Avengers Assemble answers these questions :)

I loved this film :) It was like a superhero tag team :) It had Thor in it, Hulk, Captain America and Iron Man! :D I have yet to watch the Thor, Hulk or Captain America films but I will eventually.

Aside from the usual fighting there were funny bits in the film :) I'd recommend you to watch it, especially if you didn't see it before Iron Man 3.

After we watched the film and had seen the hidden bit in the credits, which was a bit odd but funny. We watched some of the extras :) There is a "Marvel One Shot" called "Item 47" which was fun to watch and we watched the gag reel. It was very funny, especially the last one :)

Blankie!

I can't keep it a secret any longer!

Bunny  is making a blankie for us all :) She's knitting it and then on one side she's sewing material. Mama says it will look like a patchwork quilt on one side but lovely and cosy warm because of the knitting on the other side.

One of Bunny's friends sent us some baby grows but they're too big for us to wear. Instead she is cutting them up and going to sew them onto the blankie :) They're Star Wars themed!

It's being knitted in big squares then she's sewing material onto one side. Then when it's big enough she's gonna sew it all together to make one BIG blankie for us all to snuggle under :)

I'll see if she will allow me to take a photo of the big squares when they are finished and will share them with you if you want to see them :)

They were seven - And they fought like seven hundred!

Earlier we watched The Magnificent Seven (1960).

I enjoyed it, it had horseys in it. I like horseys :) It also had guns and fighting, lots of fighting. Not too much at the start but then the seven men meet up and take a contract to defend a village and lots of fighting happens.

There is more to it that just fighting though, but I won't spoil it for you. If you haven't seen it and you like westerns I'd recommend you watch it.

Even Raven Nevermore enjoyed it and she doesn't like guns that much.

Fashion! 2

Hi all :) Today is an update of our haul :) I got my Sith Lord eyes! :) Also we got a parcel today from our cousins in America :) Photos from that parcel will be shared later in this blog post :)

First up is Diamond Joe wearing his new glasses. He needs them for watching tv/films and playing video games. Mama took this photo last night when we were watching a film. This is the film blankie that we have. It covers all four of us! It's snuggly, cosy and warm and it's purple! :)

 Next up is me, hiding behind the blankie when watching a film. It was scary in places.

 Next is my Halloween shirt :)

The eyes in "Kooky" move!

Diamond Joe got a watch from one of Mama's friends :)

Front of watch

Back of watch

I got a sparklie batman symbol necklace! :D

It's sparklie!

Next is an ear cuff :) This just sits on my ear, not like the boys and their piercings.

Flowers and sparklie!

Next is a crown! :) It flashes :)

Just call me Princess Raven 

Next up is one of my favourite photos! Me in my Sith Lord eyes! :) The boys have taken to calling me Darth Nevermore! :D I LOVE them :) I love how they change how I look and I'm so happy you can still see the purple in my eyes :)

Hi, I'm Darth Nevermore

Next up is photographs of the goodies we got from our cousins in America. There were some items in the box for Mama and some for us :) Below are the goodies for us and there were lots! The boxie was huge! Some stuff in it were what Mama had got because we couldn't get them here, some of it is from our cousins and aunty, okay so most of it is from our cousins and aunty.

First photograph is Thomas Marshal and the boxie! It had My Little Pony stickers on it! So cute :)

Silly Lion tried to lift it.

 First out of the boxie was 3 collector covers of an American tv guide magazine, 3 covers from the Game of Thrones show.

Next is some pretty fabric, ribbon and goodies for our art journal :) Mama said she can make clothes for us from the fabric!

The bunny rabbit fabric is my favourite :)

Bunnies and Gnomes

Lots of pretty ribbon! :) Mama said she can make bows for me from the ribbon.

Goodies for our art journal. They're PURPLE!

Next is something odd in the boxie, we had no idea what it was. Then Mama explained that you put them in water and they grow! :) We're going to do it tomorrow when we get some bowls for them and we will take update photos of them.

I got a duckie! A princess duckie! :) I've called her Princess Leia and she sits on top of the Dalek that Thomas Marshal made on one of his visits to the Armagh Planetarium.

My duckie, Princess Leia

We got a Darth Vader outfit and Star Wars outfit :) We have a Darth Vader outfit but the lightsaber and cloak will come in handy and it's good for me to have a spare shirt :) They won't go to waste.

I got bracelets! Lots of pretty bracelets :) Some there were two of, so that me and Mama have matching ones! How cool is that? :)

Thomas Marshal hasn't got any pj's yet these Halloween boxers arrived :) They'll do him for his pj's :) He's a tough Lion he doesn't need a top *giggles*

Next are photos of me with my small fry bunny :) I call her Lenore (after Edgar Allan Poe's poem). Mama had a different name for her but I changed it. Clothes for her were in the boxie.

Thomas Marshal in his biker outfit :) The motorcycle chaps, shirt and bandanna, Mama had ordered from aunty, because we couldn't get those items here. He already had the biker jacket and the waistcoat that goes over it. Mama is going to create a biker patch for him and it's going to be sewn on the back of the waistcoat :) Thomas Marshal says he wants a 3 piece biker patch! Anyway he's wearing his Bane combats under the motorcycle chaps. Time for photos :)

His mane looks like a beardy!

Floating in space

Today we watched Alien (1979).

Mama said we should watch the film if me or Thomas Marshal are going to be cosplaying as an Alien from the film.

It was a bit scary in places but we hid under the blankie during those bits. It was also funny in some places, well we thought it was funny.

I did enjoy the film and if you are a grown-up who reads this blog, I'd recommend you watch it :)

No photos for this review, because a lot of little people read this blog and I don't want to scare them.

Arrr! Me matey

Last night we watched "Blackbeard: The Real Pirate of the Caribbean" (2005). This film starred James Purefoy which meant that Mama and Raven Nevermore had love heart eyes.

It is about the legend that is Blackbeard who was a pirate a long time ago.

It had pistols, swords and fighting :) LOTS of fighting :) It looked like it would have been lots of fun to be a pirate

This was the first pirate film that we've seen and it is one that we all enjoyed :)

Below is a non spoiler photo for you :)

Cosplay chat 2

Mama is going to be REALLY busy! *giggles*

She will be making the following Sith Lord costumes for us (the cosplay trio):

Darth Malgus (Thomas Marshal)
Darth Maul (Diamond Joe)
Cyborg Darth Maul (Diamond Joe)
Savage Opress (Thomas Marshal)
Female Sith Lord (for ME!). The female Sith Lord will be one of my own design.

She will also be making Alien and Predator costumes (for the boys), Harley Quinn (for me), Iron Man (Diamond Joe). Finally (for now) Bane mask mark II (Thomas Marshal).

She's already made a start on the Darth Maul costume earlier tonight. If anyone is interested we will share progress photos with you when they are ready to share.

Fashion!

Hi! *waves* Raven Nevermore here again and doing another fashion update :) 

We got some more clothes over the past week and yesterday we got some more lovely jumpers from the lovely lady makes them and has them on bay of e. Click here to see her store and here to see other jumpers she has made. You'll notice a border around the images, I did that! :)

First though other clothes :) Thomas Marshal wearing a black spidey shirt.

Darkside Spidey!

Next up is Diamond Joe wearing a (newborn baby) Skeleton onesie with a cute matching hat.

Boo! to you too :P

Next up is meeeeee!! I'm wearing a winter outfit! :) Mama said she knows it's early but she wanted to get it for me when she saw it.

Another sparklie skirt!

My outfit for Halloween! :) A witch!

Eye of Newt and Wing of Bat.

My Yule outfit! :) Again it's early but Mama said she didn't want to leave getting me one too late.

I'm going to be a good girl for Santa!

Remember earlier in the post I told you about jumpers we got yesterday? Well here they are! :)

Thomas Marshal wearing a pirate jumper.

Arrrr me Matey!

 During the photo shoot, the boys were mucking about! Diamond Joe was ruffling Thomas Marshal's mane.

Silly boys

 This is what Thomas Marshal looked like after. He doesn't look too happy does he?

We got a jumper to share but because Thomas Marshal had one to model and I had one to model. Diamond Joe modelled this one.

Lest we Forget 

 Finally, I got a jumper of a horsey!

It's snuggly and cosy and warm.

Cosplay news from me! We watched Star Wars yesterday (we watch it a lot) and I want to cosplay a Sith Lord! :) The boys said I couldn't but Mama said of course I can because they are female Sith Lords :) So I've tolded Diamond Joe to research a female Sith Lord costume for me :) I need Sith Lord eyes but Mama said that I can look at some contact lenses and then she will get them for me and I'll have my own Sith Lord eyes.

I'm trying to convince Mama to wear a Sith Lord costume too so when I go cosplaying as a Sith Lord we match! :) She's still thinking it over. She already has a full length black hooded cloak, that she doesn't wear much. I'm very excited about cosplaying a Sith Lord, it'll be so much fun :)

Hi from Diamond Joe

Hi everyone, I'm Diamond Joe :) I'm the brains behind the cosplay trio, I am the one who spends time researching the costumes for cosplay. I'm the one who makes suggestions to Mama to make the costumes better and what materials I think will work best. She thinks she's the one behind it all? It's me :) Though don't tell her I said that.

I've recently discovered gaming! I LOVE playing on the PS3 :) I'll be doing some game reviews in the future but today I want to do a film review :)

Today THIS film came in the post.

YES!! Iron Man 3 :D 

Today we watched Iron Man 3 (2013) :) We've been looking forward to watching this film and one of Mama's friends ordered it for us. On Blu Ray too :) If you haven't seen the film yet, don't worry my review won't spoil it for you.

The opening sequence was very cool :) The film blew us away much like the explosions in it! :)

It's got explosions, fighting and lots of other cool explosive, fighty stuff happening.

It also has got Robert Downey Jnr in it. Which meant that Raven Nevermore and Mama where in love heart eye mode the whole film! It is a film we will watch again. After the film we watched some of the extras, like the gag reel and the out takes which were funny :)

Spoiler free photo from the film coming up :) We ALL loved this when we saw and I had to take a photo to share with you all.

How cool does this pose look? VERY COOL!!

It's a great film and you should all watch it, if you haven't already seen it.

I also know what to be Iron Man when cosplaying! :) Though I don't want that silly material costume I want one that is either metal or looks like metal. So I'll have to do some researching for that and give my findings to Mama to make for me.

New clothes!

Today Mama came back to the burrow with new clothes for us :) So we had a little fashion show :)

Diamond Joe in his new coat! It's a duffle coat! :) Mama said she had one of these when she was younger.

Me! Raven Nevermore wearing an Eeyore shirt :)

It has a pic of Eeyore on the back!

Finally, I squeeed when Mama showed this to me! I couldn't wait to try it on :) It's a pink dress with pink frills and lace!

I love my new dress!

can you keep a secret?

I'm not meant to tell you but Mama is out of the room and I've sneaked onto the computer. I am so excited! I have to share with you all.

Mama tolded me Thomas Marshal and Diamond Joe all about Halloween and we're very excited! She's currently making the three of us Halloween Sacks! She says if we're good the WHOLE month of October, the Halloween Fairy will leave goodies in our Halloween Sacks! :D

She got very pretty fabric, different for each of us, so that the Halloween Fairy will know which sack belongs to who. I asked her how will the Halloween Fairy know which sack is which. Mama just smiled and winked. I'm still confused but it sounds like fun.

Mama is also making 30 smaller sacks from different material for 30 days of October leading up to Halloween! She said she's going to put little treats in the sacks for the three of us :)

Mama also says she has fun things planned for Halloween night but she's not sharing! No matter how much we bug her by saying "Tell us! Tell us! Tell us!" Mama isn't telling us.

Thomas Marshal tolded me that Mama tolded him that there are lots of adventures planned for Halloween! He said that I can go on some of them with Mama :) I think he just says that because he wants good stuff from the Halloween Fairy.

More from Raven Nevermore

Hi *waves* Raven Nevermore here again :) I got some goodies during the week and am sharing them with you all now in one big blog post :) 

First is the lovely cosy, warm boot slippers Mama got for me :) Aren't they the cutest? I love them! :D 

Mama says that although it's a bit early to be wearing this outfit, she got it when she saw it and it will keep until next year :) 

Next is a cute black outfit with pink hearts! The belt around the skirt was too tight on my tummy :(  I put it on my head instead! :) Mama said I look like an '80's reject! I think it looks cute :)

I went for a rummage in the clothes bins and I found a punk skirt she had made for one of my sisters who don't cosplay or go adventuring so I put it on and there was a matching headband but I put it on as a choker instead :) I teamed it up with a shirt I got from Build A Bear. What do you think? :)

I got stuck putting on my Star Wars shirt. Mama took this photo, she couldn't stop laughing! 

Mama had got me a lovely red coat for this time of year! I nearly lost it to Thomas Marshal because it's red but Mama told him NO, that it was my coat. Besides he already has a coat! He's a silly Lion.

Finally look at these cute boots!! :D Mama said I needed a pair of boots for when I go outside if I decide to go adventuring and they're SO cute! :D 

One of Mama's friends sent me a baseball bat for my Harley Quinn cosplay :) It needs painting but Mama said she'll do that for me, so I won't get paint on my fur :)
