Circular purse has been joined and is brilliant needing only now to be lines for some stability. One more wallet of green/black/cream very hippy masculine has been completed shy of a button. Beret in progress. This is where I sit after three bloody weeks!!!. Plans for 2hr/ day crocheting and at least one item a week are sliding and this is due to a lack of communication between the Crochet Gods and the Gods of my fate. (yes my fate does require the efforts of combined Gods to manage it.) If the Gods of my fate had mentioned they were going to be throwing a fab. boy into the mix they should have discussed it with the Crochet God in advance so that some over crocheting could have been arranged to get some accumulation and give me a grace period. Newest additions to Folk Fest plans are Char and Amy making soap to put with crocheted bath scrunchies and bath bar themed sleeves if you will. Maybe I can get Char to post some pics of her newest creation for some reference.

… after some discussion with Meghan (newbie to our crew) we thought a wonderous combo. Bathbomb Cartman!!! Assuming Amy/Char do bathbombs of course. But even the idea of a bar of soap stuffed into a Cartman doll with which you could wash yourself is pretty great!

what to do? what to do!

well, I’ve got a few project ideas, and I finished Ice Princess, all tied up and ready to go :) Mir left without me being able to fully weave in the last end, but I did about 3 inches, so really, all that needs doing is cutting off the excess, which she can do the morning of, really :)

I’ve got some cool yarn to make a quick makeup purse for the wedding, so I will do that in the next day, and I’m about half way through a crocheted bath towel, semi-stolen idea from lashingtail. kind of just a simple small, cotton blanket, really. but in a nice colorway, I think it will turn out prettily. maybe it will get a matching face cloth and hand towel?

other than those things, I have that yarn I bought for Stargazer. It’s a beautiful eggplant mercerized cotton. Fully washable, etc. I think it will be beautiful :). And, I have one more baby blanket to make. I’m going to have a bit of a time in the next month or two. (maybe 3) But, I’m “reading” the Anna Karenina Audiobook. I’ve read it already, but it’s been a few years, so I thought I’d give it a go again, and I’m glad I am. My attitudes to the characters are a lot different now than they were 5 years ago, and it’s making it a much different read. I’m really enjoying it, in its 38 hour glory!

Well, I finished her last night at work. It was a quick job, that I’ve been putting off a bit. I hate deadlines. Being a procrastinator, I feel the need to put things off until said deadline. bah. When it really should have been done like 4 weeks ago. oh well. It is done now. I do still need to find a pendant for it, and a button for the clasp, but that has nothing to do with the construction. Or does it?
