A Very Cthulhu Christmas

I made this tiny Cthulhu for my dad for Christmas, based on the pattern in Creepy Cute Crochet :) As you can see, it turned out perfectly fine, and I make all apologies for every negative thought I have ever had about the patterns. As I said (at length) in a previous post, reading instructions on whether to crochet in both loops rather than in the back loop only is rather important -_- I will at some point post a picture of an earlier attempt at a Cthulhu from the same pattern. I also made another tiny Cthulhu, with slightly different eyes, for a friend for her birthday.

Anyway, just so that you can see that I do actually ~make stuff.

Finished a project (finally)

The Cthulhu backpack I made for my friend Ian is finally complete! Unfortunately I didn't take a picture (st00pid me) but Ian swears to send some of him and Cthulhu in action :D

That sounds a bit dodgier than it is... a bit of backstory may be required...

My friend Ian and I started running together a few years back, and due to him being more dedicated than I, he has gone from strength to strength with it, and has now been running some marathons. He asked me (quite a while ago) to manufacture a Cthulhu for him, which he can wear on his back with the Cthulhu peering over his shoulder when he runs, particularly runs he just does for fun.

Making the Cthulhu was quite a challenge for me, as big plushies are not really my forte. The harnass was tricky too, but hopefully it will hold *fingers crossed*. If it doesn't, I will just have to make a new plan :)

Hopefully I will have pictures soon!

Wow that's a lot of public holidays

This long weekend has primarily been spent in bed crocheting, or sewing the Cthulhu plushie for my friend. The crochet has mostly been me working on an original pattern for little bunny amigurumi :D (Easter and the accompanying sugar rush may have gone to my head...). I'm really very excited about the pattern, because I have literally a squillion ideas for what kind of themed bunnies I want to make with it ^_^ Hopefully pictures will be posted soon...

But before I give too much away, I'll tell you about the other thing I'm very excited about. A friend of mine told me about a restaurant in Muizenberg called Closer, which I would very very much like to go to. There aren't a lot of designated vegan (or even vegetarian) restaurants in South Africa that I'm aware of, so hearing of a good one is very exciting! Though, it occurs to me that I should probably do more research into the matter before making such sweeping statements -_-".

But... SO MUCH TO BE EXCITED ABOUT :D *bounces around*

P.S. I've had a LOT of sugar

Song of the Morning and work avoidance behaviour

Song of the morning: Body Crumbles by Dry Cell from the Queen of the Damned OST.

Other than that, I spent the afternoon yesterday studiously avoiding my assignment (due for this afternoon... I have yet to start) in favour of working on a Cthulhu plushie for a friend of mine. Good to see I have my priorities straight :D

Song of the Morning etc

So this morning was a combination of misc songs from Dr Horrible's Singalong Blog. Which is not a bad start to the morning at all :)

Furthermore, I managed to make some progress on the Totoro amigurimi, but my attention span was hijacked by inspiration for some embroidery and felt badges, and the fairly pressing fact that a friend of mine will be down from overseas soon, and I owe him a Cthulhu plushie which I have yet to start *sigh*. Fortunately there's a long weekend coming up, so I have at least SOME opportunity to craft, in between hunting for Easter eggs! ^_^

As a very joyous aside, I found some plastic Easter eggs at some of my local stores (one set of which are shaped like DINOSAUR HEADS- how cool?) filled with vegan-friendly sweets. This makes me a very happy camper.
