48 hours of crafting continues….
Hey, ! I made a Knitten! It’s grey stripey, just like Alladin! I still have to stitch the face on– I’m thinking embroidery floss for that. I should’ve done it before sewing up the head, but…. meh. I wanted to see how it would work!
John knocked over my red wine tonight and it spilled everywhere. We are probably going to end up buying the copy of Blade: Trinity that we’d rented from the local DVD place. Whoops. It wasn’t even that great of a movie. Oh, well.
We watched Team America tonight, the unrated version. Um…. we’re trying to figure out what all the hype was about. I mean, seriously… the owner of the video store even warned us as we checked out that it would have had an “X” rating if it weren’t unrated. Yes, there were things in there I wouldn’t want a child watching, but… um…? Aside from one scene and a lot of profanity, it wasn’t any worse than a particularly raunchy South Park episode.
Tomorrow, I will upload pictures of the crafts I’ve done this weekend. Pathetically small number, as I haven’t been very diligent. On the other hand, I got to visit with my cat in ICU each day….
Which I guess is a cue to do an Allegro update. He’s doing better– today he even head-butted our hands. He’s purred for us both days, and the vet is fairly certain that it’s an infection (pyothorax), and that he’s septic, but will most likely make a full recovery if the fluid will slow its rate of accumulation.
Poor baby is absoluytely filthy and needs a bath very much. Yesterday and today, I’ve borrowed a brush from the vet and brushed out his rapidly-matting fur, but there’s not much I can do. He smells like pee and keeps getting food in his fur from laying down on it. They’re quick to change his bedding, but I’ll be really glad when he’s out of the oxygen cage. I’m sure he will be, too.
Alladin, meanwhile is doing his part to keep humanity safe from fur mousies everywhere!

I’m watching the canadian rated R version of Team America tomorrow when Stephen is at school. The clerk warned me they don’t rent that one to kids and discourage people from letting younger teens/preteens from seeing it. The staff member also said it was 3x as bad as South Park and after 20 min she had to shut it off due to the vulgarities. *shrug* So I guess I’ll see if she’s easily offended or what when I watch it tomorrow. I watched the Aviator and Son of Mask. The Aviator was good but rather long.
It’s good to hear Allegro is doing better. Will his liver be ok?

Yay knitten kitten! And yay for stripey, want to see that, most folks played it safe and just did one colour rather than two, never mind stripes. For sewing onto wool you need more wool, embroidery silk doesn’t really do it (found that out the hard way), I’ve been using thin black cotton yarn and its very effective.
Hope Allegro is back to his old self soon..

Hmm…. well, I can probably dye up some pink and yellow, but black’s hard– I don’t have any black wool….
Plain old embroidery floss here isn’t silk, as far as I know; I think it’s cotton or acrylic, so that ought to work. I’ll try it and let you know.
