Musings on Crochet, Amigurumis and Geekery.
What I’m working on right now, and what is on my to-do list.
A few weeks ago, I was suddenly hit with the urge to ORGANIZE. Now, this situation does not happen often. So when it does, I need to act fast. For example, I still have my Grandmother's old knitting machine sitting in a bedroom (which needs some fixing) which I haven't touched in over a year.… Continue reading Yarn Organization and Inspiration
So shortly after work ended this summer, I had a bit of an art attack. I'd seen pictures on the internet of some cool paintings people had done by melting crayons onto a canvas, and I figured that it was a good time to try one out for myself. What follows is a bit of… Continue reading Melty Crayon Art
I've been working diligently away at my Tardis, and have some progress to report. I used plastic canvas to make the inner structure, which I showed off last time, and now I've covered the outside with crochet.

(I've known about Irregular Expressions for a while now, and every now and then I just go to their… Continue reading New Thing!
Well, I suppose I need to start this post by way of some updates ... First of all: I finished my teacher's education program. Yay! About a month ago, I attended my graduation ceremony (it was actually my first time on the 'official' campus - oops) and ended up sitting a few rows in front… Continue reading Another Chico
Well, I've been mia for the past couple of weeks, but there is a pretty good reason: I've been out placement teaching...PHYSICS! Phew. It's been super busy. I haven't had much time for the usual crafting. Instead, I've been making things like little motors and speakers (oh, and lessons. Lots and lots of lessons.) Speakers… Continue reading Poncho and Chico are Finished!
