Yay, first post, first day of the new year. New Year's was pretty low-key for me this year. I was sick, went to bed at 10:30 only to be woken up by fireworks at midnight. Someone in the area must've really wanted to celebrate in style. Turns out, another household nearby had a similar idea and I basically got to watch a fireworks battle. It was pretty amusing and totally worth being woken up for.
My last two projects of 2007 were a lovely penguin and a cute little elephant. The penguin was part of Lion Brand's Holiday amigurumi set. His tummy patch didn't turn out quite like I expected it to, though, so I had to improvise a bit on that. Oh, and he was supposed to have a hat too, but it just looked really awkward when i put it on him. Overall, I'd have to say the penguin in the picture was a lot cuter than mine, but it's still a nice pattern. As for the elephant, I think he is absolutely adorable! His trunk came out a little long, but it adds to his cuteness. To make his cheeks rosy, I just patted a bit of blush on him.
The weather was GORGEOUS yesterday, so I went for a bike ride. My butt's really sore today, but I had so much fun playing with our new camera. It's an Olympus FE-280, nothing special, but it took decent pictures :)
Haha, this one cracked me up. I think it looks like it has a little face and it's sticking its tongue out at you. Well, it's back to typing scholarship essays for me. Maybe I'll be able to fit in some crocheting later on. I'll have to do it in secret though b/c my dad totally disapproves.
My neopolitan blanket was made pretty quickly. Probably anywhere from 6 - 10 hours. I don't always have a lot of time to work on things, but I make sure I take all my spare moments and use them up crafting. :)
