first…cuteable.com seen it? cute stuff. lots and lots of cute stuff.

amigurumi you ask? well. the pirate, i made him some clothes, although he still needs a belt and a sash on his head and the hook. that too. i don’t like his vest much, i did a bad freeform embroidered skull and crossbones and…it looks terrible. i will pull it out and do something else. dunno.

and i am workon on a lion with male pattern baldness…he is only partially done, but here he is. what do you think about a moustache to go with his sideburns and long balding hair?

my noggin is feeling better. because of the series of migraines, my brains feel a bit scrambled and it has left me feeling…well…a bit high. i don’t know why it is that way. and i have trouble coming up with words. dumb words. i have always hated that. searching for the words. anyway, i did some spinning:
at the left hand top the “HOTTT”superwash merino fiber that didn’t sell. how? i would’ve snapped it up. anyway, i still have some of the fiber left if anyone is interested. this one is 100 percent coils, so not a ton of yardage, i may do a single from the other 4 oz to accomany it. or just sell this little pinky skein. it was a whole bobbin of singles and probably 25 yards of supercoils. fun, though. the lower left is one of the batts i did spun up. there is still a couple of the red based ones left, not yet listed. if you want on, ask, they won’t last. they have mainly veggie silk fibers and sparkle and the rest is red, pink, or orange superwash fiber, or targhee. soft soft soft. a TON of sparkle in em. and twice carded. lovely! on flickr they are labeled by number. i will be listing different batts all week. and i think doing some more. i need to do some dyeing, but i think i might just take some of the dyed fiber i do and card em up. the market is so flooded right now, not that most of it is nice or anything, but everyone is selling fiber or purses or toys or what have you. crazy! oh, so the right top is fiber i got from the spunky eclectic club, they weren’t my colors, so i did all supercoils and added novelty yarns in the same colors to intensify them. it isn’t super soft, so it would be better suited for a something that isn’t next to the skin. and then at the bottom right is the ANA superwash sock yarn…lovely, no? i want one. i am fighting myself on it. big time.

i added some paper to the bottom of the box and added darker clouds that go the whole way out of the box, and more small trees and things…i think it is almost done…what do you guys think? do you think it lacks a focal point?

and my desk whilst working on the box and then a kinetic mobile i started yesterday. i will show you in a couple of days…

in other news, pavel has been acting totally crazy. seriously, i am concerned that there might be something mentally wrong with him. he was pretty laid back as a kitten. he liked to play/fight and bite, but he always seemed to be playing. now, he growls if the other cats come within 5 feet of him and he starts to act aggressive until a fight usually does break out because he has the posturing to bring it on. and then if he is just doing it to one sister, the other will come running and then it is a battle. the thing is, he is now doing it all the time. the other cats will not have aggressive posture, they are just walking by or going about their business, and he will lay his ears back and start growling until it escalates into a fight. any ideas what is going on?

i am getting sleepy. i will try to blog when i get up instead of late so i can think a bit more clearly.

mwah!
