Woe is Me

I've crocheted all of the yarn I brought home for break and the rest is at school... Oh, Woe is Me!  And thus writing this lament seems the correct and logical thing to do (especially at this time in the morning)

"The Last Thread"

Alas without your warm tangles and gently tug,
I shall never be like a bug in a rug.
The never-ending line has come to a close,
Yet I will see it finished, I suppose.
Not till the end of day,
Will everything be okay.
I recover your brother skein,
They will not be my bane.
With luck and love I will make you comfy,
But that will require a lot of Buffy.
Sitting in the wee hours of the morn',
I crochet this blanket to adorn.
Everyday I slave away,
So it's ready for the holiday.

It has come to my attention...

...that I have stopped work on my brother's Christmas present.  This has been remedied!  I picked up yarn and hook after a couple of months of needle and thread and started working again!  All of the shoreline ocean pieces are done and have now been fully attached to their comrades, making a uniform ocean marred with the occasional port.  Now if I wasn't insane this would be where I would stop.  One full Catan board... but that's not how I roll.  This will be a fully functional AFGHAN BOARD GAME!  yes smooth out your bed we are playing Catan on it and it will be the seafarers extension pack and I;m not stopping there.  The Cities and Barbarians extension will also be factored in that way we can always play the addition we want and ignore the extensions we don't care about.  Also I will be planning out how to crochet little houses, cities, roads, walls, and metropolises soon too!  EXCITING!  The question is can I get it done before Christmas with this level of meticulous craziness on my hands?  I don't know but something is going to happen!

...that I haven't been posting info or pics of my cute little change purses!  So far I have Pokéballs, Mr. and Mrs. Packman, and a Penguin.  Yes they are all adorable!  I can't wait until I can bring myself to sell them... it hasn't happened yet  ^_^ They are so cuuuttteeee!  That is all.

...that when a bag full of balls of yarn falls on your head it doesn't feel to great... yeah that happened already today.

...that crocheting and updating my blog is more interesting than my homework!

Post Halloween Extravaganza

YAY it's after Halloween and our costumes were done (mostly) in time!  All that labor: sewing skirts, cutting playpen balls, poking holes, spray-painting, sewing bumps, sewing headbands, spray-painting "plungers," fixing up whisks, attaching LEDs, ironing cummerbunds, the list goes on!  Overall it was a fantastic time and we really rocked out our Doctor Who Fan Club's Halloween Party!

We had 7 Dalekettes running around PSU and they were amazing!  We even had a Michigan Fan run after us to get a picture... don't worry we exterminated and Michigan in that Game! ;)

I'll get a pic up here soon but I couldn't wait to post!!!
