Grumpies

A huge wave of grumpiness has hit the house this week. In fact this post is 4 days late because of it.

It hasn’t helped that Katie hurt her elbow and was limping so badly we had to visit the vet. She’s better now, but spent most of last weekend looking like this:

which isn’t so bad because I can use her to do this:

This is “lord” 2.0. Isn’t he awesome?

This is lordling. I mis-read the instructions and he came out a bit… wrong. But awesome sister brought him back from the garbage bin.

Katie check. Still good? Yep.

Every lord needs a lady: (I think I’ve shown her already?)

Group shot:

All of these ami’s have gone to live with awesome sister.

I have one in the wings for me:

One more lord is planned and then, hopefully, this need to make tiny cute things will disappear for a bit.

I’ll leave this entry with something that made me smile this week:

Harvest Moon: Animal Parade …

… is only slightly more addictive than knitting.

I just want to make it to the next day! How much money did I make? Have I earned any more heart scenes?

It can also make you feel like this:

My ode to harvest moon (via amigurumi) is now complete. First I made a cow…

So Hikari had a cow, what else did she need? chickens! (of course)

Don’t ask me why the beaks on the chickens aren’t the same. Finishing is where I fall down on ami’s. There aren’t any roosters in Harvest Moon so he went to live with Awesome Sister.

Now Hikari has all the basic animals to start her ranch.

Woo Hoo….hoo? I guess I’m a bit obsessed with the game atm. I’m still trucking along with all my knitting, but don’t have a whole heck of a lot to share except for partially finished projects.

I’m off to marry the Wizard!

Last Yarn…

…and other things.

So the very last (bought by me) yarn for 2012 has arrived. No more new yarn!

While no more new yarn is saddening, the final yarn is so pretty! *squee*

My February Club shipment from String Theory Colorworks! The colourway name is Oxygen and it has thick stripes of white, violet and red. It is on a new base for me, 50%merino 50% tencel. I’m not sure that this yarn can stand up to being socks, but maybe mittens or something.

I’m still in my amigurumi kick. I just finished off the cutest little medieval lady:

I loved working on her, she is seriously so tiny and adorable. Sadly she now belongs to awesome sister who originally requested her. I guess I’ll have to make another one (or three). Oh darn.

Caught an awesome shot of Katie’s eye colour. She’s doing well, as usual. She turned 8 on Feb 1st! She’s a sassy middle aged cat now! haha!
