Pokemon!

I finished up the Oddish for my friend today, much to the grief of my left hand.



The **pattern** is compliments of the amazing WolfDreamer, who has many awesome Pokemon and Nintendo related patterns available on her site.

Also, as promised, I have a slightly better photograph of the Totoro amigurumi I finished a few days ago.



I currently have plans for another project, which will be kept secret for now. The only hints I can give are "anime", "pirates", and "avatar". You think I would get back to working up some pandas, but the design is still undergoing modifications!

Psuedo Update

In lieu of substantial content I instead present to you this picture of a Totoro amigurumi that I completed last night:



The ears are different sizes and I did not stuff any of it all the way and the picture stinks, but I still think it is cute. The pattern is totally not mine at all and is found **here**.

I have an Oddish amigurumi commission to finish up tonight, and then I will be back with better pics and more yarny goodies!

Graduation Zombie

Wow, I have not posted in a loooooong time!

I have been dealing with final projects and papers and other school insanity for the last two weeks. Now begins the mad rush towards graduation which means fielding relatives and arranging places to eat and hoping to God flights arrive on time and AAAAAAAAH!

Once this is all over I will lay comatose for a few days. Then I will focus on crocheting and applying for jobs.

Well, kinda. I did not think that I would have a job after graduation, but the lovely ladies at the preschool I conducted my work study at petitioned the director to hire me as an actual employee until I find a "job job." I was touched, especially considering that it made the thank-you card and cake they bought for my last day a but premature ^_^

So once this is all over I will lay comatose for a few days before returning to work at the preschool then crochet and apply to jobs in my free time.

I am also rethinking this business of selling amigurumi online. I am always super psyched when someone asks me to do a commission, because I love the thought of someone else enjoying my work, and just having it out there in the world waiting to be animated as evil minions constructed solely to do my bidding.

But mainly I get happy about people liking my work. Mainly...

I am just dubious about certain aspects of online commerce. There is the issue of venue. Depending on who you ask Etsy is THE place to sell anything and everything handmade, or it can be the devil. Then there is Artfire, which is supposed to have excellent customer service but affords no where near the levels of exposure that Etsy does (providing you are willing to spend the money to re-list things). Maybe I am just feeling this way because I am tired in general and everything has been looking hazy to me. I will have to decide on this after doing the comatose thing.
