Bento #61 (Hello Kitty)

Just realized I haven't updated for a while. I decided to make a bento today as the snack in school is 'ham bun' so I thought it might not fill the little one up. I love the little Hello Kitty onigiri wrapper and couldn't wait to use them. I made a little rice ball for consuming before school as she only had some bread for breakfast. The main box is for recess time.

In the bento, there are cherry tomatoes with the vine on, as I think they look pretty that way. There are some marshmallow 'diamond' rings, not properly secured as it was pretty tough trying to screw the pick in, with the marshmallow being soft. I added some anpanman & friends fried potato bites, a flower made from fish sausage, and the odds and ends of that sausage were hidden within the inarizushi. Apologies for the unsightly pink ribbon on Hello Kitty as I had used edible pen marker on the bean pouch and it was really ugly the first time. I flipped it over to do it on the other side and the ink smudged onto the pretty ribbon which I had cut out of kamaboko.

All packed and ready for school.

Here below is my latest toy. I love it. Hubby got it for my birthday, but one glitch is that the battery lasts only approximately 1-1/2hrs, which is a bummer really. Maybe he'll upgrade the battery to a six cell one soon? ;P

I saw a gorgeous Vivienne Tam edition but it wasn't really worth paying the difference. Anyhow, I think mine is beautiful as well. It's got some designs on the cover, not just a plain boring black. I love, most of all, how it fits snugly into my little bag for me to take it wherever I go. :D
