Craft room!

Ok, I promised a look into my not-cool craft room, and you know I always deliver on my promises. Well, except for the promises I make about crafting. >_>

Here is my desk. If I were on Cribs, I would say "This is where the magic happens," mostly to confuse everyone because that's what people say about their bedrooms. Since I'm not cool, this will never happen, but it's a nice fantasy. Over on the right wall there is my collection of "Shakespeare in Penguins" doodles. I'm really quite fond of them.

Oh, does my curtian decoration look familiar? ;) It's pretty sweet having a balcony, even though I don't really use it. Unless it's warm and it rains. Then I bustle out there with my chair and a glass of wine. B)

Painting in progress and my fan for when I burn things in the kitchen. I don't have an easel. I mean, I do, I just have no idea where it is, which pretty much means I don't have one. A piece of cloth on the floor is sufficient, right?

This is where I was planning on putting a loom (the whole reason I got a 2br apartment!!) but I ended up not getting one. :( But I love lamp. And penguins. And Mermaid Lady.

How embarassing...

So... it's been a while. How are you doing, blog? Feeling neglected and unloved!? How could you say that!? I know it's been a while, but you've been in my heart and guilt-laden thoughts! Every time I create something I think of you, and how I should be posting here, oh, and there's all that other stuff I need to post and that is gonna take an awful long time. And you know I just moved and it really does take me a month to unpack. Oh... it's been two, near three, months? Uh, you're right. Like always.

So let's get back together. We'll take it slow, k? I'll show you a few things I've done, then you can talk about your feelings some more.

First, and I think this is the most important... I have a craft room! It's not really organized yet, and frankly I doubt it will ever be as cutesy or clever as the craft rooms I see on the internets, but it speaks to me, and is my space. That's what counts. I will devote an entire entry to it later.

I also finally learned how to knit a hat. I'm actually really proud of myself, because I pretty much just taught myself and went from there. It was surprisingly easy! I also FINALLY finished knitting the red scarf I've been working for, oh... two years approximately. Here is a pic of me wearing both!

Yes, the wallpaper, I know.

Also, I'm taking the plunge again this year (because obviously I love to torture myself): I'm doing NaNoWriMo. Again. I just realized today that I had no plot, so I thought of one. It's about three sentences right now. I can do this. I can do this. I can do this. OMG DED.

I have about 20 more things I have made that I need to post, but we'll take it slow. Now tell me again how much you missed me.
