I know I promised the cubic sheep pet (and the pattern’s almost done!) but as I was looking at Laurence Fishburne, I had this great idea. I mean, I think it’s a great idea. Haha! Anyways, I realized that there aren’t any HKO-themed wallpapers out there yet, and although we’ll definitely be going there in the future, I decided to pay an early tribute to the cuteness that is the BoxPig~
The wallpaper is available in two sizes, and 2 colors. To get the actual wallpapers, click the link to the rest of the post! |
If you follow The Martha Stewart Show, you probably know about the recent Cutest Cupcake Contest. On the June 16 episode “Crafting with Rosie O’Donnell”, Martha announced her top picks, and guess who made it into her list!
That’s right, our very own Sanrio characters! This “Hello Kitty and Friends” cupcake set was made by “colmmoo”, and the designs are apparently made of marshmallow fondant. The pic above is directly from the episode video, where Martha said they were “very sweet, very nicely done too”. Here’s another pic for you guys!
Adorable aren’t they? Thanks very much to Jackie (violet_yoshi) for sharing these with us through email! So, how do you all feel about an HKO-themed baking contest? Technorati tags: martha stewart, cupcakes, food, baking, sanrio, hello kitty, chococat, keroppi, badtzmaru, chi chai monchan |
Thanks to everyone who commented on my last post! You made Laurence Fishburne (his name) feel really welcome! :] Now as promised, I wanna share with all of you just exactly how I did it!But before we go there, just a little disclaimer from lil’ ol’ me — I’m no expert in crafts, so this is not a very intricate pattern! Also I hope to make this doable by anyone who has the willingness (and the materials), so I tried to make it as simple as possible. Now, on to the show!
First of all, you’ll need the pattern I used for Laurence Fishburne. Click the image above to view the download/print-ready version of the pattern! And now, click the link to the rest of the entry for materials and the complete procedure, with pics~ :] |
This isn’t another screenshot from Closed Beta. As you all know, my favorite item and pet in the game is the Boar pet, otherwise called “Cardboard Box Pig” by me. BoxPig for short. And now, I’d like you to meet my new pet~
He’s made out of… you guessed it, cardboard! He’s just over 2 inches tall, and completely DIY. :] Watch out for the step-by-step procedure on how to make him yourself! It’s really simple and I’ll be providing the pattern that I used. I’ll be sharing that maybe in my next post, so till then~!

Okay so I was playing around with GIFs after seeing that little clip Tidesong did, but I don’t think I could think of anything as clever as an endless supply of watermelons
So, I went back to the minigame videos I had saved and came up with some. They’re pretty small (176×144) but they’re also pretty big in file size, so I won’t load the actual GIFs here on the post. To see them, click on these images and the GIFs will load in separate windows/tabs. Please take note of the file sizes below the images, so you know what to expect! :]
You can also save them if you want, I don’t mind. If you’re gonna repost them though, please give credit, took some time to make them! :] I don’t really know what they’re good for but hope you like them~
I’ve been asked a few times how to add the Clustrmap and hit counter into the sidebar, so I’ve decided to post this little tutorial on how it’s done! Actually, if you know how to add images into your sidebar, it’s pretty much the same thing. You just have to know what to put where.

Click the link to see it full size. That’s the “Add Link” page, where you’ll see the field to add in images to your links. While many of you already know this part, it’s the first part to knowing how to add in widgets like Clustrmap. So moving on…
When you go to your Clustrmaps admin, be sure to select “[B] Minimalist (for MySpace and other sites needing the plainest HTML) ” because this is the only option that will work for SanrioTown. And then you will see a simple code, which I’ve broken down to those 2 parts:
Address:
http://www4.clustrmaps.com/user/xxxxxxxx“>
Those are the two parts that you have to add in, using your own URLs of course. Before trying to add any other widgets, make sure that they follow this simple format or have options to accommodate simple image links (so yeah, you can add in your counters!). Javascript, flash and widgets that use DIVs don’t work with this blog, that’s also for your safety!
Also, remember that the images do not have to end in “.jpg”, “.gif” or any familiar extension for them to work. As long as it’s in the “<img src=” tag. Hope this helped! :]
I was rummaging through some random videos I had of the game, and decided to check a video I took of the minigame called “Learn Cooking”. I don’t know how many of you got to try it, but I found it really fun, although I wish there were either more recipes per round, or that there were more to making one dish.But have you ever wondered what exactly it is they’re cooking?
![]() |
So, in order to answer this question, I’ve chosen to ignore the fact that there’s water in the pot. So I’ve come up with a couple of possible dishes they could be making:
1. Fried Tomato Soup
In which case, the herb would be basil and the seasoning would be I dunno.. Olive oil. Although that water could be stock. But sadly, there doesn’t seem to be any garlic in that recipe. I’ll let that slide on the grounds that all these should be understood to have garlic already. Haha!
2. Tomato Cream Sauce
Okay this shouldn’t have water, and as the name suggests, it should have cream. So being the stubborn person I am, I will assume that in that pot is a whole lot of blue-colored cream. Hahaha~
3. Spaghetti Sauce
…with everything except meat and well, the pasta. That would explain the water though, maybe they just forgot that they still needed to cook the pasta.
Oooookay, so this is more of a list of food I wish they were cooking. Who can resist tomato cream sauce? And spaghetti? Well if you’ve finished the game, you’ll notice that the end product looks like some sort of stew…

I hope that stew turned out okay haha!
(Sorry about the garlic bit, but garlic is a must!)
I’ve seen people exchange Wii numbers on the forums, so it got me thinking.. I wonder what our other gamers are doing while waiting for Open Beta? And then as I was pondering that thought, something caught my attention. When I looked, here’s what I saw:

I guess Hello Kitty really wants to keep her gaming skills sharp. I don’t know why she’s wearing that crab suit though, I mean the crabs in HKO are blue. Maybe she wants to be the crab miniboss. That won’t do. ![]()
And don’t ask me what’s up with the mouth. Hmm Kitty’s been acting weird. Maybe she just misses HKO too.
Hi all! It’s me Abby, and I’ve moved my personal blog here from my old test blog. I can honestly say that I miss all the CB testers already. Kani (I helped come up with that nickname
), Tom, Dawn, Kitkat and so many others, it truly was a great Closed Beta especially with great players like you!

I miss my cupcake house…
So I was having a conversation with the NPCs this morning. I think they were a little confused as to why there weren’t any players around.

I think Nyago was the most affected. He was the official farm gatekeeper, and everybody used to come to him and he really felt like he was helping a lot of people. I promised them all that we’d see you guys again soon. Peter Davis (the minigames guy) actually scooted over to where we were, I think he felt a little lonely there since there were no players.
But now we must return to the task at hand. A couple of towns nearby are opening soon, and everybody’s busy getting ready!
