Crafting Crafty Crap
I went walking to get some circulation. And in my mind, I convinced myself that it's achievement will quell a percent of the jiggliness in my midsection.(gotta get fit in 8 6 days for my beach-bikini Hawaiian summer!) 
Came back and was inspired to finish my craft projects that were almost, but not quite, done... The mere presence of them hanging around in my room, half-forgotten/left for dead, was depressing...
First I made a bag using a fabric I got from Urbn on sale, ya know their tapestry/bedsheet deal.
It was 9$ and pretty and lightweight fabric so I made a cute sling bag. A friend had a bag like that that was falling apart with a hole in it so I borrowed it from her and eyeballed a pattern from it. It came out pretty good! The bag was already 93% done, but I just didn't know how I wanted it to fasten shut at the opening. But I think it works well with my big button idea. While in Hawaii
, I'm gonna try to look for shell or coconut big buttons to use next time.^^
The next craft project was inspired by something I bought at a GiantRobot clearance sale. See the pink apple guy at the end. No, I didn't pay 9$ as the price tag says, but only 5$. Heh.I thought his face was cute and I wanted to try to make more felt charms like that.
So I bought it for inspiration and tried to think of what would be cute.
I had only brown, green, yellow, white, and red felt so I made a banana and a pineapple. I like the pineapple, but banana one is kinda mehh. And I need to find the little ball chain to make them into charms. These two were already cut out and had the faces on. I just had to sew it together and put stuffing in um..(80% done)
Hachi torture iz alwayz fun.
Wonder what else I should make. Maybe at my DNA reunion, I can get my cousins' kids to draw me shite and I'll recreate it.
Hehe, kid drawings are da bestest.

So, no less then 3 hours since my post up above, my bratty-baby-rat-cat decided to get her vengence. I took a shower, went into my room and saw Mr. Pink Apple on the floor in the middle of my room. Looking upon my desk, Kawaii Pineapple was smiling back at me but where the hell was Lame-O Banana Head?!?!
I walk outside to see him lying on the carpet in the middle of the living room. Already pissed at her, I grab it only to discover that it's SOAKING WET
I squealed like a pig and dropped it from the shock horror.
Bad, bad, bad, kitty!!! No food tonight!
She got her revenge, but at what cost?!?! *barfs*
