AmiguruMay Day 1 - Hello!

Catnana (alien phase + placeholder face, the future owner’s mum is doing me a solid and embroidering properly and stitching on legs herself, I will edit once I get a pic).

My first time using chenille - pretty horrid to work with tbh??? It was almost impossible to see the stitches so I had to feel my way around. Surprisingly decent outcome all things considered. Better than trying to do the same pattern in a pure wool anyway which was NOT soft and pleasant…. 😬

I ran out of yellow before the end despite using up two skeins instead of the one recipe called for anyway. :|

Kinda took off as a meme at work so I may make some minis to throw at people hehe

AmiguruMay Day 6 - WIP: work in progress

ngl i fell off with this challenge but it's never too late to catch up?? 🙃

dilly dallied around London at minumum efficiency today and made a good start at a new lil guy

i've decided to try and crochet with more things things that are not cotton so this is baby alpaca. feels pleasant to work with but does not end up as soft as you'd think and i think will require some gentle blocking (not sure how to pull it all off with stuffing, sewing things together etc)

And as it’s Yasujirô Ozu’s Birthday (and Deathday) what better excuse to repost this old classic from days of yore - the many (but not all) teapots of Ozu!

Kicking myself cos I never thought about visualising roadmaps this way 🤦🏻‍♀️ (it would also make it obvious where the organisation is headless, hopefully)

Continuous Evolution Part 3: The Roadmap Radar - When is a plan not a plan?

The Roadmap Radar ensures that all efforts are clearly aligned to your strategic goals and objectives.

Bella is helping me test one of my Xmas gifts (an apron for pottering).

My mum would not stop asking me to make her a Frenchie amigurumi and I wanted something where I could relax a bit about the pattern/quality after the raccoon, work with a bit bigger hook etc haha. 💀

TBF I wouldn't even post it but I think it's neat to see how far I've come in terms of sheer speed- I think making both took roughly the same amount of time. 🤯 So it's a 2.5 months progress post of sorts.

limpiando mi casa la toda dia pero todavía no terminado. 🫠 porqué tengo tantas ropas?? de todas formas, muchos no son mi talla pero las gustan y no quiero las tirar. :(

I enjoy needle felting A LOT. There's just something about stabbing things into shape that is very satisfying, and I think it's the closest fibre art to pottery in that I can just fuck around and find out, add a bit of stuff it things feel off etc. 😗

Anyway, I started this fella at a Stitch Festival last week. Not gonna lie, the little sewing machine was a major factor why I signed up. 😂 And the glasses!?

The workshop was a bit rushed but the instructions were pretty clear and I'm happy with the end result of course. : )
