HorrorBunnies Live!
I have finally taken pics of my HorrorBunnies, after they were in my craft basket for AGES. Anyway, here for your viewing pleasure:

Faux bear skin rug
I have decided that what I truly need from life is a faux bearskin rug... preferably made to look like a teddy bear skin ^_^ I have a great love for anything fluffy, and the thought of having something big and fuzzy to bury my face in makes me way too happy. However, animal fur (particularly taxidermy *shudder*) freaks me right out, so this is an adorable, cruelty-free fuzzy alternative!
A quick Google search yielded some awesome pics from really creative people, and I'm so amped to take a stab at making my own :)

Then there are also more unusual, and nonetheless very awesome designs, like this Wampa rug:
(From Think Geek. I suspect that the Princess Leia cosplayer is optional...)
But I must admit that my favourite so far, hands down, is this monster rug I found on Deviant Art

Definitely a monster-hunting trophy worthy of note!

Song of the Morning and progress reports
So the song of the morning is thankfully once again a good one: A Desolation Song, by Agalloch.
In terms of crafting, progress is being made on the collection of amigurumi I will henceforth call the Horror Bunnies :D I'm having way too much fun making them. However, all good things must, come to an end... or at least be put on hold until my TEST WEEK FROM HELL (TM) is over *sobs*. However, I hope to at least finish the three I have been working on before the week is out, since I doubt my short attention span will keep me entirely plastered to my books. Not least since with 2 of the three I need only do the finishing touches.
The finishing touches have made me consider the merits of using different materials for eyes... which would be best: safety eyes, beads, buttons or felt circles? I have a fairly limited range of safety eyes available to me at nearby habby stores, so those are mostly out, whereas buttons and felt come in a million different colours and shapes. The downside of felt is that I then have to try to cut the circles out to be the same size and, you know, circular. I have surprising amounts of difficulty with this. Hmmm... finishing touches may be put on hold until I successfully source buttons in the colours that I need. I suspect the ragdoll-look of buttons may actually suit the Horror Bunnies, but you guys can judge for yourselves when I finish them and post pics.

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!

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
