It's been too long
Well, I haven't posted in a LONG time. Mostly because I left my husband a year ago and life has been crazy. I'm still making wonderful things with yarn. :D

RoBoT
So yeah, still working on the camera thing. o.X Haven't quite uploaded all my pictures yet.. but I will someday :D. I've been reading a lot lately, The Hunger Games, The Mortal Instruments Trilogy, re-read Twilight and New Moon (again), and now I'm on the third book in the Gemma Doyle series. Good books. I also picked up a few manga today, I've been going through anime/manga withdrawl o.x I'm so far behind on the new stuff... I'm like back at "OMG Cowboy Bebop" o.x so some catching up is in order.
I was so inspired to do something artistic today that I crocheted a really cute lil' Robot. I sketched a quick design and free-handed it. With a few embellishments it turned out just right :) yay star sequins. I also got my hands on:
I'm so excited about this book eventhough I really suck at knitting ><; I mean REALLY suck. Her toys are so complex and realistic, I dream of someday having the knitting ability to replicate one :D.
So yes, stay tuned, I will eventually post all them pictures :D

Stupid camera o.x
So I'm still waiting to get my pictures on here ><; I've got lotsa neat stuff to share :) I recently finished a hello kitty doll I made as a present for my cousin's new baby girl, it's super cute :D I also finished a really nice doll based on the "rock the hula" pattern designed by Elisabeth Doherty (You can find the pattern for sale here :) ) I gave her hair, lighter skin, a really cute tube top outfit with a pair of short shorts :D I also dabbled with a few of the new sequins I purchased. I'll post a picture of her asap :D I really like how she turned out.
Ne-who I'm now working on a chihuahua :P It's a pattern I purchased from one of my fave pattern designers Jaravee, you can find her etsy page here ^-^. Have a look see.

Darn camera
So I've done lots of stuff, made lots of cute lil' things but alas, thew new camera we got for christmas does not have a cord to hook up to my computer to download the pictures ><; It has one of them SD cards and my computer is too old to come with a reader built in o.X ghey
So yeah, once I can find a way to get the pictures on here I can show them to whoever bothers to read this thing :D
I ordered some really pretty beads and sequins the other day to make my purdy dollies even purdier. o.O yaaaay
Now, I'm gonna go waste some time playing World of Warcraft because I'm geeky that way :D

Christmas and crochet ^-^;
Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and is going to have a Happy New Year :P I spent my Christmas with my family and after some egg nog and a few too many chocolates I'm back to my crocheting.
I haven't posted much in a while for the sake of keeping some of my Christmas presents a secret. Now that they've been shipped out I can go back to postin' ... yes... However that would require pictures and I neglected to take very many of the creations I shipped out :P a heh... Well I can tell you about a few of the awesome books I got my hands on this Christmas...:

So over the summer we went on a trip down to Washington to visit the in laws. I decided I was going to need something to do so I caved a bought an ipod. I picked out a green ipod nano 3 (whatever that means) and when I got it home and examined the shiny, flimsy looking, exterior I decided that it could not float around in my purse without some sort of protection. Out came the crochet needle and some of my fave yarn (cotton ease by lion brand) and presto, a decent ipod case if I do say so myself :P I also made one using organic wool I bought at a farmers market down there, it looks a bit better but I found the wool scratched the metal surface on the back of my ipod so I set it aside.
More recently I've been sick ><; sick enough that I've spent the last few days half comatose o.x' I did, however, manage to make myself a baby elephant amigurumi :) it's white, I know, and the picture is horrible but it really is cute. I only made it white because I love the lion brand felting wool and I wanted to make something with it. You know sometimes you just have to indulge in the more expensive stuff just cause it feels so good to work with. ^-^

So I've decided my excuse for letting the crochet habit fall to the wayside this summer is that it was too darn hot :P But now that the season is turning and the leaves are falling I'm picking up that crochet needle once more to create more tiny cuteness ^-^
So far this week I've made 2 jellyfish, 2 mushrooms, 2 cappucino cups, a hippo and a koala o.O
I have a few pictures (above) ain't they cute? :P
The mushroom, the jelly fish, and the cup of coffee are all designed by Ana Paula and the koala and hippo are both from
