A week using my laptop at work has really bothered my wrists, so I have been avoiding knitting (what else is new?) and focusing on other endeavors this weekend.
One is drawing a picture of Roo from this photo...
The other is sorting through these books from my dad's and selling them online...
Another is making these stockings for Dan's family...
And finally, I finished a very, very old WIP. I didn't even put it on Ravelry, because I thought I would publish the pattern. I'm still not very into it, but it has a little bit of sentimental value. He's my first felting project! I used Paton's wool, and a big rubbermaid container and a plunger. I remember sitting in the bathroom of my dorm pounding it in water and soap with the plunger. He's a slug!
I was so "creative" then... I had so many ideas. Now I guess they've all dried up. Or I just feel like I don't have the time to do them, or I think they're not worth my time. Whelp... sorry, that was me being a bit of a downer.
Don't you think he looks a little nervous? I think his mouth is so cute!
He's sad because he needs a friend. He's a lonely slug (and a totally cute one by the way.)
ReplyDeleteLove the photo of Roo.
Super digging the slug! And I can't wait to see the stockings :)
ReplyDeleteVery cute slug ... I haven't done any felting yet. Those inspirations come and go ... there have been times I don't feel like doing anything, but when it hits, I have a bajillion ideas and not enough time!
ReplyDeletehey, Allie, don't get discouraged. I run across past projects all the time, and sometimes I am amazed at how good I was back then, and sometimes I'm amazed at how I sucked. we evolve, shit happens. I've been watching you since the Anticraft days, and you are baking up nicely.
ReplyDeletehey, Allie, don't get discouraged. make a friend for your slug or don't. make something else. your creativity is boundless, and something else will come. I too have been watching you since the AntiCraft days, and you are growing and changing and it's all a process. love, Rowan
