mixtape for my niece, front

Front cover of the mixtape I made for the Niece's birthday (part one of her present: I'm also giving her a Raspberry Pi, but it's not ready yet.)

mixtape, back

The back cover, with the track listings. This was really finicky to do.

butt of a blue whippet, in the distance

My parents' whippet Lizzy, running after her favourite squeaky toy in Royal Park.

kites in Royal Park

There's a man who's been flying these kites every day in Royal Park. He has them tethered on the ground. They make me want to go fly a kite too.

*beam* I have a lot of competition in my own family for that title.

She has a heap of aunts on her mother's side, and two including me on her father's. And my sister is unbelievably good at aunting. She can go horse riding with her and take her sailing, and she gave her Unbored, which is like one of those Things To Make And Do books they had when I was a kid, only up to date and really really cool.

Side note: I am proud of my brother and his partner: my parents wanted to give the Niece a World Vision child sponsorship, so she'd get letters from a kid from the developing world, and have a personal connection to someone a lot less privileged than she is. So they discussed this with Niece's parents first, and they both said "Um, that whole thing where the sponsored kid has to write grateful letters in exchange for essential financial help for her village? Kind of gross and unethical." So my parents are rethinking that plan.

I really like the cover of that mixtape. It's so sunny and cheerful with the bright yellow and the blue gingham print!

Thanks. :D The front was a Little Miss Sunshine exercise book - she was already about the size of a CD, so I figured it was her destiny. The gingham was a sudden inspiration when I discovered I'd forgotten about closing the bottom of the sleeve.
