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.

Song of the Morning

Miraculously, the song stuck in my head this morning is ACTUALLY polyrhythmic and something I enjoy :D

Backbone by Gojira

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.

Song of the morning

This morning is a combination of "Hell to the No" from the Glee soundtrack (judge me not) and a friend of mine's re-imagining of "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-A-Lot: "I like goth chicks and I cannot lie..." etc. If I can gain said friend's permission, I'll post the lyrics as he sees them. I infinitely prefer his version.

I also feel the need to point out that the songs I wake up with are in no way representative of my actual music taste... I think it's mostly a case of my groggy brain being unable to entertain me with anything more than "Happy Birthday to You" or "Twinkle Twinkle" (two common sinners) so very bright and early in the morning.

Song of the Morning

This will hopefully become a standard thing, as every morning I wake up with a song in my head.
