long days @ work turns my brain into jell~0...

yea...so i've been trying to get my martha stewart on minus the cooking and cleaning...i've been crocheting the first 3 steps of a pattern for the nth time in 2 days. it took me like 3 hrs jus to figure how to read the instructions, to get the first 3 stitches, and blah, blah blah.

DEE'S LIL L<3ve--> on other ladies' blogs, i see the amigurumi dolls they make, and i'm jus soo amazed!! bc i kno it must've been hard, hell, i can barely get past the 2nd row while making a scarf! but while i was damaging my wallet and credit score in the craft store i saw a amigurumi how-to book and they were of lil 8-inch animal plushies--so cute!! i also nabbed another amigurumi how-to book on bigger plushies. now why do i even want to try?? bc i love giraffes and sheep!!! the giraffe was in the mini how-to book, and the sheep was in the bigger book, but i'm sure i might be able to figure out how to add a few things to the mini-hippo to turn it into a sheep...

DEE'S ISSUE--> but the problem is, the book is like in a secret code or something!! ok, it's my fault really, bc i really should have bought a beginner's book first and make an F'n scarf like the noob i am. the book rates each project on a scale of bars from easy to hard, and for the most part, every one of the plushies are easy, but everything is abbreviated!! so i have no F'n idea what's going on and i don't even kno the terminology for anything! so i really do need to make sure i kno my basics before jumping in head long...

yea, so this was jus an update to see where i am. so i read beauty blogs, basically bc i want to read ppl's reviews on things, and the next thing u kno i run out and buy it. (--__--) but since now i have a blog also, i can join the contests these ladies have, {1} bc it's fun, {2} it'll be nice to make some new buds, {3} PRIZES--nuff said. lol. but ultimately, it'll be fun to do a contest and to make new friends, esp since my current friends aren't obssessed w makeup the way i am. so it'll be nice to talk makeup-speak with ppl who understands, lol. there's a contest out for purple and a cosplay one, i think i'm going to do both...i need to look for inspiration and do some experimenting in the meantime.

yup.
