Sorry but Squishy went on strike. I am sure I can convince him to come back and be finished sometime soon.
In the mean time, I have taken a stab at embroidery. I found this cute calendar on LollyChop’s website and thought it would make for a great project. What I plan is to do one each month and then post it here. Kinda like a little guarantee post. 
Well I happen to grab the first photo from the pile I printed and didn’t bother to look at what month it was. I accidentally did July’s first. Not too big of a deal because I am going to be very busy this summer and might fall behind anyway so I guess its good to have it done now.
I finished May’s tonight.
This first photo was just the outline. I used tracing paper to make a stencil and a regular white gel pen I found the other day.
I found these quite easy, great for a beginner like myself. I hope to be able to do lots of different things in the near future.
Night!!
Just a small post tonight, I am tried and need to get into bed.
I made this the other day for a friend. She recently went under the knife to have her uterus removed and I thought this was a cute way she could always keep hers.
Good night!
I found this great book the other day in our tiny, pathetic book section at the PX on post. Well, its not too pathetic because of lately, they have been stocking up with some great knitting, crocheting, and sewing books…even one sewing book that is $40. I want it but now not for that much! ^_^
Anyway, this is the book. Its called Amigurumi Knits by Hansi Singh.
I am not too fond of knitted toys because they feel as if they are not worked as tightly as crocheted toys are but the Praying Mantis on the cover suckered me in to at least flip through it. Thats when I saw the jellyfish!! I knew I had to have the book then. It is the cutest thing yet.
I haven’t actually started to make him yet but I will soon…probably start right after I post this blog. 
I plan on making him from the lighter green yarn from the previous post. Depending on how easy he is to make I will probably make one from the blues and a pink also and then hang them somewhere to display. And I shall call them all Squishy for Dory! ^_^
Thats one small benefit about being in the military and overseas, you get free concerts every so often. Now its not normally big named people but we get some good ones sometimes. I have seen Darryl Worthy, Papa Roach, Sherrie Austin, the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders and most recently, Edwin McCain.
When I was a kid I loved Edwin McCain’s song, I’ll Be. There was just something about it that was great. So when I heard that he was coming to Yongsan I was excited and immediately plugged the date and time into my iPod touch (geek I know…but I don’t have the iPhone yet). Well the night came and I got front row seats to the free outdoor concert. I knew to expect my favorite song to play last and he sure made that happen. But how else are you to get people to stick around to listen to the rest of your stuff? o.O
There weren’t a lot of people that showed up so I was able to get in line at the end for a photo and signature. I am not one of those people that will wait in a long line for just anyone. Here is a photo of us together.
Also, I posted a video of Edwin McCain on my Youtube page so check it out if you like.
Recently I purchased more worsted weigh yarn from the local craft area of Seoul. I got 5 one-pound things of yarn. I don’t know what to call them…anyway, I think they are one pound. I can’t really weigh them but the lady said they were. This I found odd because anytime a Korean talked to me about weight it’s in kilograms. But she said one pound was 6,000 won. I was like, cool. So these are the colors I choose…
