Hobbies

I decided to make this post about Hobbies, because lately I’ve been interested in what people enjoy doing in their lives. Hobbies are what people do when they have spare time, just for fun. Often when I’m done with my homework, I have spare time, so I do one of my hobbies. My main hobbies are drawing, writing, coding and dancing. I noticed that I enjoy coding in the morning, writing during the day, and drawing in the afternoon. I noticed when I started listing my hobbies, that most of them are close work. For balance, I also go for walks with my dog, Bruno. On Saturdays, I often have golf lessons and I really like dancing when I have spare time.

I’d love to hear about your hobbies. Please write about your favourite hobbies in the comment section!

Drawing

Today my post is going to be about drawing. I Ike to look at different types of art, for example, realistic, abstract and anime types. The styles that I enjoy drawing the most are anime and manga. Both are very similar in the way that the shape the human body is drawn. The difference that is really noticeable is the way in which the eyes are drawn. Anime is one of my favourite styles of drawing, because it’s more on the cartoonish side compared to the realistic art style, particularly when drawing people or animals. The eyes in anime are bigger and have more highlights. The anime-style female eyes tend to have bigger and thicker eyelashes than in other art styles, which creates a cute look.

I also like other styles of art in their own specific features. I like the realistic style and wish to learn more about it, because it is really cool to paint or draw an image on a canvas that looks like a photo of something.

The amazing thing about abstract art is that it’s basically drawing shapes with a variety of different colours  and layering them on top of each other, creating a unique masterpiece.

Those are my favourite styles of art, and I am looking forward to learning about your favourite styles in the comments!

How I made my logo

A couple of weeks ago, I had an idea about selling merchandise. I looked through other people’s merchandise online (“the merch”), and I noticed that they usually put their signature character on their products. So before I got started on creating merchandise, I started skeching some ideas of signature characters. But I didn’t have a lot of interesting ideas, and that’s when I remembered the drawing some kind of Yeti- Bigfoot- cute things earlier, and I thought: JACKPOT! The perfect signature character!

I then traced the little characters in the app ProCreate on my iPad. When I was done, I realized that the characters were missing something. Suddenly, I knew what was missing: my signature characters names. I still didn’t have a clue about what they where! So I did some research about Yetis, but then I realized that my characters didn’t look quite like Yetis. They looked like Wookies! If you don’t know what Wookies are, they are a type of animal that is in the Star Wars world.  My creatures didn’t look exactly like Wookies too, because they where a lot cuter than Wookies.  So then I had a brilliant idea: I took the first letter in the word “Cute”, and put it instead of the the letter W in the word “Wookies”. So the new name for my signature characters was “Cookies”! I was very pleased with myself, and I started giving personal names to the Cookies. My main Cookie’s name is Cherry. You can see her at the top of my website holding a cherry. Eventually, I made up more names for my other Cookies. They are: Cream, Puff, Coco and Chip.

Later I also made up their personalities. Cherry is very good at expressing her emotions, and is very confident. Cream loves making fun of Coco. They are twins, and Coco wishes she had never met Cream in the first place. Puff loves to eat. If he could, he would eat chocolate, whipped cream, and raspberries for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Chip is very quiet, and has a teeny-weeny crush on Cherry. He wishes he could express his feelings like her. Generally, most of them get along well. Oops! I almost forgot to mention Cream’s and Coco’s cat, Straw. Straw loves fishy crackers and would jump off a cliff just to taste a bite of one. He loves all the Cookies very much, and loves all the new people he meets, including you!

This is the end of this post, and please make sure to check out my new merch, featuring the Cookies!

Awesome drink recipe

Today, I decided to start the morning off with something sweet to drink. Honestly, I don’t remember if I ever made or invented a drink. To start, I made a small list of the ingredients I enjoyed the taste of in my head. The ingredients were: peanut butter, milk and sugar. I ended up with some kind of milkshake-smoothie drink. I made it by adding a full table spoon of peanut  butter to the milk and mixed the gooey substance of my soon-to-be awesome drink. At first, it tasted like a peanut butter-flavoured milk. It was good, but not good enough. You know how peanut butter doesn’t really taste sweet? People add jam to make the peanut butter taste sweeter. Well now you know why people make peanut butter AND JAM sandwiches. Well, my instinct told me that jam wouldn’t taste quite right with my sort of drink. And as usual, my instinct was right. Note: My instinct is probably NEVER wrong. Anyway, I decided to add a teaspoon of sugar into my drink. I shook my drink vigorously in a bottle to get the sugar to dissolve in the drink. One minute later, I opened the bottle and had a taste. IT WAS AMAZING! Tip: when you are done, make sure to put some whipped cream on top of the drink!

Make sure to try to making this awesome and simple drink at home with your family!

How it all started

Hi! Welcome to my website. I’m going to begin my blog by telling how I had the idea to start a website just for kids.

One day, my dad was showing me new photos he posted on his website. I then remembered that I had a bunch of photos on my iPad that I thought would be cool to show to other people. And I also like looking at other websites that are kid-friendly. I enjoy reading about what people like to do in their spare time. My dad and I were probably thinking the same thing, because a moment later he asked me: “Hey, wouldn’t it be cool if you started your own website?” You can probably guess what my answer was!
