I suppose some of you may be wondering where I’ve been all week. The fact is, I got laid off last Friday and I haven’t really felt like blogging since then.
To help relax me and to fill in time in between me trying to write new copy and figure out what I’m doing with my career website, I’ve been taking some crochet toy commissions from friends. It isn’t something I can make a living off of, but it’s better than sitting idly, staring at my screen and wondering how to brand myself.
This monkey is the first of 4 toys I’ve made so far, and I have a few more queued up (some of which might even take me into a new job, if I get one within a month). It was for a little 1-year-old boy for his birthday. My friend informs me that the monkey is now called “‘Naner”. I think the recipient looks very happy with it!
This kid's pleased as punch!
Since I missed WIP Wednesday, here’s the WIP pictures I took throughout and posted on Facebook for her to see.
The head!
He looks like Sack Boy here.
Sack Boy + doctor mask?
