Checking in real quick
Howdy again. While I have been on crafty overdrive the last couple of weeks or so, I, once again, don't have anything to really show for it here. I found out a little while ago that I've been accepted to the Indie Craft Experience (more details on all that a little later) so I've been busy trying to figure out the logistics of it all.
Anyhoo, some bullet points for the time being:
- All of the felt squares for Trip Around The Wool blanket have been cut up and put into little Ziplock bag and are ready to be sewn. Now it's just a matter of me doing it.
- Secret knitting has still been taking up the majority of my time thus my (still) lack of real blogging
- Muxtape is my new favoritest thing in the world. Here's my mix (I especially love Self's cover of "What a Fool Believes." It was all done on toy instruments, don't you know. Oh! and of course, Cyanotype AKA Leah's significant other.) If you already have one of your own and end up making one, let me know! I'd love to take a listen.
- Say hello to my little friend. . .
Anyone remember the Blue Slime from the old Dragon Warrior game?
Details here (Ravelry link) and Ravel it here.
(Sorry, non-Ravelers. I'm not sure how you can get your mitts on the pattern outside of Ravelry. :/)
Love this thing. Too bad I was feeling all nice then and gave it away. Oh well, the thing was so quick and easy to make, I can just make another one for myself, no sweat. That's the beauty of amigurimi. . .errr, amigirumi. . .ummm (opens up Google)
Amigurumi! Just like I said.

"Now it's just a matter of me doing it". I've thought that way before... Sometimes the project is addictive and gets done in a week, sometimes it sits in my WIP basket for a year. What's it gonna be? I hope it'll be an addiction.

Yellow shoes are far superior to white ones.
And we have a green slime coin bank sitting next to our fishtank. Love the crochet one!

You got them!! I love them in yellow. And yep, we still have the same exact foot. Craziness.

Those shoes are unbelievably cute. Do they come in red? I'm a sucker for red shoes. :)
The blue slime is familiar, but I think I remember it from Breath of Fire, another early Super Nintendo game where you're a warrior out beating up defenseless bubbles of goo.
Cute pattern. :)

really like your muxtape, esp William Shatner doing one of my favorite songs in the style of myself doing karaoke.
