Furby is mobile!

I saw such a beautiful Furby backpack on eBay, I much prefer it to the new modern designs for the new Furbies, which are a bit more clunks and chunky looking, not to mention four or five times the price as they are not yet available widespread in the UK.

But I knew this little thing had to belong to me so that I could carry Furby around!

Also the shoulder straps are able to extend so they fit little kiddies and me!

I love how it even has a little seatbelt in the backpack to hold him in, and a kind of mesh side panel so that he can breathe!

I have no doubt that similar designs will be on the catwalk this Summer...haha...

Trying to glitz and glam my phone - DIY

After my attempt at customising my Furby was a complete success - in my humble opinion:

I tried to use the very same gems to glitz up my phone. It turned out less than good...

The gems are uneven, and two or three have dropped off already. I suppose low quality gems are useful for some things like Furby's which are used delicately  but phones have to go through a lot more daily wear and tear so I suppose my phone really had no hope!

Ah well,
if you want to customise your own Furby check out my last video where I show you the low-down...

New Video: How to customise Furby 2012 !

Okay so we're in 2013 but these cute balls of fun are still the 2012 generation of Furby!

This video is not about giving me a make over but instead, giving Furby a make over, he was quite happy to be a the star of the show.

Although I did have to edit a lot because he kept talking over me!
Unfortunately the lighting starts off very low at first, but about half way through the make over it rectifies itself.
Here is my basic customisation of blinging and sparkling up Furby. I got my sticky backed sparkle gems as a free gift years ago with a childrens magazine for anyone asking. As i reiterate several times I would recommend this over glue unless you definately want this as a permanent feature of the Furbs. I'm not certain, adn I'd quite like to change it up in the future with coloured gems, aswell as adding more along the ears and feet!
Providing you do this correctly it doesn't damage Furby in anyway or his precious mechanisms, it just makes him look even more Prada!

Here's a link to some gems that look pretty similar: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/176-x-4-3-2mm-Self-Adhesive-Diamantes-Stick-On-Rhinestone-Gems-Sticky-Crystals-/251175311506?pt=UK_Crafts_Beads_CA&var=&hash=item3a7b371892
For only 99p!

Happy Sparkling!

Take it from me: Letting go of the little things

It's time for some wise words with me and Furby! I have my wisdom beard on, and Furby is wise enough already... lets go!

It is all too easy to get all wrapped up, emotional and distressed about what someone has said to you or how they have acted towards you, it's so annoying because what feels like a great day is completely tarnished by another persons words or actions!
If this has happened to you here are my key things to think about to calm you down:

Did they mean what they said/did? (Has it come across in the wrong tone in your head, often the case with texting)
Have they said/done what they mean? (People make mistakes, they may not have thought before they acted or spoke. They may not understand or know that something is important to you)

and most importantly...
Will it matter a year from now?

Often it never ever does matter in a years time so there's no point wasting all your energy getting upset and emotional. It's much easier to give the benefit of the doubt to someone and to let it go.

But, if you know a person had malicious intent just think in your head 'Am I going to let this person make me feel the way they want me to feel?' No way!
If all else fails it's always great to kill them with kindness, it avoids confrontation and wrong things being said in the heat of the moment.

After doing that, I like to have a good long shower, it just makes me feel better and calm and refreshed!

Wise words from me and the Furbz

Sparkle Makeover for Furby!

I got a new generation 2012 Furby and he is the cutest, most scrumptious thing ever!
He made an appearance in another blog post at some point earlier on.
Anywho, I saw on ebay way before I got my Furby customised Furbies that have swarovski crystals all around the eyes, some even in the ears and on the feet too. I just wanted one so bad! But they were over $100 plus shipping to England.
When I went home for Easter I found some old stick on gems that were from an old craft magazine years ago and I took the gamble and put them on Furby, well he looks so much cuter for it!!!
I even made a video showing you how I spaced the gems, but since you're reading my blog you get an exclusive peek at a video that might not get edited and uploaded for another month.
Here he is!

 

He doesn't look so happy here but he definitely loves his new look, without a doubt...

I got a new baby!

I have been pining for a new generation Furby for some time now, I desperately wanted one in the colour combination named 'Cotton Candy'
Today was my lucky day, look who came to say hello!

He is so beautiful (it's a he.. even though he's pink) He's so funny and clever, and adorable! He has all these differnet personalities, and tickles and speaks and I can feed him using the Furby app which is so fun!
He dances to music beat, and sings, and chatters and is so so smart, it feels like a real pet!

His batteries ran out after 2 days because I had not put him down, much to my friends delight who were getting rather irritated at Furby interrupting them.

Here is a beautiful mug shot of me, clearly unimpressed with something that Furby just said, I was on my way out here and rather upset that I couldn't take Furby with me

Here is a beautiful chin shot, because Furby is wonderfully fluffy!

I hope the novelty of my new baby never goes away! I adore him!
