Motivated!

The last couple of weeks have been a lot of changes! I finally got promoted at work, so I have a lot more responsibilities there. Buuuuuuttt....it's gonna come with some extra change for an even more awesome yarn stash, lol!

Having crochet play-dates with Amanda is putting my crafty butt into gear! I've finished some stuff and actually been productive, go me! It helps that the boyfriend has vertigo right now and can't really move or do much; therefore, he stays out of my way. :)

I've been working on creating some crocheted microbe patterns, in the same vein as the www.thinkgeek.com microbe plushies, only as amigurumi. I found a SUPER duper awesome yarn, pompadoodle by Red Heart, that makes the bestest crochet scarf. It's a little fiddly at first, working only between the pom-poms, but it works up quickly and is just so neato. I'm in love, can you tell?

I finished my beaded scarf, not the little boy sailboat blanket, and I'm really really close with the yellow sock. I finished Cherry's cotton summer hat, made a red bucket hat, and have a test crochet pig I did for one of Amanda's patterns around here somewhere. I strongly suspect my boyfriend's 3 year old put it in one of her purses, little stinker.

On the menu for the weekend: finish work (real grown-up job) today, finish up the brisket I'm taking to tonight's party. Tomorrow morning, get up, then get crackin' on finishing the stuffed fleece gorilla I owe my nephew for his birthday. Then maybe I will even do a few rows on the blanket that was supposed to be for his birthday.

Yessirree Bob, I'm gonna knock out these projects so I can do even more!
