It is a universal fact that couples enjoy doing things together. Some couples wear matching outfits, some have matching hairdo (I swear, one of my gfs had a mullet haircut once just so she could match her bf's hairdo), some couples sit facing each other at Starbucks but engrossed in their own laptops.... so yeah, you get the drift.
McChef is no exception to this rule. He loves getting involved in the things I do because to him, it's the same as doing things together. Though I find this behavior of his rather endearing, there are some times when I feel that he's verging on hovering and just plain being a busybody.
Case in point - when I blog, he loves to read over my shoulder and tells me how to write (oh the nerve!). Or when I practice my guitar playing, he'll be like this vulture and waits til I put down my guitar. He would then pick my guitar up and "plays" like he's some guitar hero god. *sigh* The things I have to put up with sometimes.
Anyway, as you are aware, I've recently picked up paper crafting as a hobby, which I'm turning into a business. While I was making a card for Twilight Zone, McChef was (no surprise here) hovering near my work table, snooping around checking out what I was doing.
Since I was concentrating on my work, I couldn't be bothered with what exactly he was doing. When I first looked up, he was sketching something (using my sketch book nonetheless!).
The next time I looked up, he was cutting some of my materials and assembling them on the floor.
Nose-deep in my craft, he then shoved his first handmade item in front of me. And to be honest, I was jealous. My first creation was 2 flowers in a vase. His was a cool skull head which he named El Poco Loco, that loves to eat tacos and smoke a certain plant.
This is El Poco Loco, who taunts me by asking "Hoo's the cutest?"
He even wears a sembrero with a pink feather attached to it. He loves tacos (that thing near the right cheek)
El Poco Loco smokes and eats at the same time, which has made his teeth crookedI don't deny that McChef is the more creative and artsy one between the two of us, but I think that life is a bit unfair to me. Between the two of us, he's the better looking one, he's better at business ventures and he can cook. As for my talent, well let's see... selective memory (read: forgetful), selective hearing (read: short attention span) and able to entertain others with my acrobatic skills (read: clumsy). Isn't it "great" to be me?

Guys just have a wilder imagination. ;)
Sometimes I feel so inartistic next to my male counterparts. It's so shameful.
OMG! Now I wanna marry him too!
You can both cater to different audiences!
The skull art is interestingly cool!

Lol! Yeah, nasib he don't like to write/type. hahaha!
I really admire people with creative hands.
dont u feel that thats too sticky!? what about the idea of "to love someone is to accomplish her to be more herself" - not "more like him"
sorry McChef, but I think perky's the good looking one in the relationship. Though, unfortunately I can't deny that you're the better cook (off course lah!) and the less clumsy one!
*lariiiiiiiiikkkkkkkkkkk*
:P
hey, this is cool ;)
If you're ever interested in more 3-D type papercrafts, there are a lot of sites out there that cater to it. Even Canon has a section for papercrafting. I enjoy Nintendo crafts myself (I've posted some on my blog). Some really cool papercraft sites are http://paperkraft.blogspot.com/ and http://www.papercraftmuseum.com/ ... More models than you can shake a stick at :)
Lyana:Awww... that's so sweet of you. Lol! Yeah, oh how I wish I was the better cook & more coordinated one too! ;)
Mr Joan Croft:Thanks for the info! :)
