Who Needs Sleep

Well I was going to include a link to a you-tube of BNL performing the song in the title, but my browser is being funky so I won't.

Although apparently the answer is: "I do."

The other might Mini Monster was up every couple hours, and I think I'm still paying for that. Last night he woke up around 4, and I fortunately started feeding him -in bed- because I fell asleep without returning the bottle to the kitchen. So the bottle ended up loose in the bed... and so did my glasses. *facepalm*
When he woke us up again for a diaper change, my husband recovered my glasses and I recovered the bottle, ((which had made it down around my knee under the blanket.)) and we went on with parenting duties, including taking the old bottle to the kitchen to get washed.

The modified seal is mostly done, I need to finish sewing up and detailing the head, and then I can take some pictures. I'm still debating how to deal with my desire to do the Luck Dragon, because I don't have the specific yarns on hand, and I'm not sure if I want to order them. *fret* I do really want to do the project though.

The Seal of ,,, someplace other than Suleskerry

I'm doing my second major mod of the toy pattern and knitting a seal. I used the basic body of the Lamb and then changed the bottom halfs decrease, completely winged it for flippers, and I'm working on the head. I think I'm going to use the head shape for the lamb, though I recently picked up the horse, and I'm seriously considering picking up the tiger.
I still really want to do the Luck Dragon mod I've got in my head, but I don't have the yarn for it yet, and for that one I do really really want a good pair of toy-eyes. I'll probably have to order some.

Mini Monster is cool, he's sitting in his swing as I watch the last available episode of the remade "V" on the playstation. I think they must have canceled it, which really kinda sucks. I mean they keep produsing stuff like 'Sex and the City'... but not GOOD stuff? Bah. Damn you networks!

Fuzzys Labrynth




I finally completed the "Pan" doll I was making based on "Fuzzy Mittens" lamb pattern. I think the hair was actually the most tedious part. I'm sure a week or so down the road I'll want to re-do the entire thing, but right now it's cool. Needless to say I took a number of photos, because this is a gift for someone so I might not readily have the chance again.

Mini Monster is fine, he just fell asleep in his swing after having a huge meal and then engaging in diaper warfare, to the exhaustion of his father, who happened to field that particular episode.

I'm also working out the details and some hooks for an RPG I hope to run, table top. I'm going to probably have to modify the setting a bit, since the book is a little bit goofier than my planned setting, but I think it's pretty doable. Hopefully fun, anyway. It's going to be based in the "Adventure" system, which is, as far as I'm aware, out of print, but it's a modification of the old Whitewolf System, so all D10 dice, which for me at least will make the rolling easier. Should be interesting though since one of our potential players has only ever played in the D and D setting.

Wish us all luck!!
