Carebear

The fresh color of light yellow frosting is what I was looking for when I went to the store.
I got Red Heart Supersaver and I'll never make the same mistake again.
The color is right, but the yarn is too stiff and fuzzy. It's a pain to crochet with.
A very important lesson well-learned.
But I am not grumpy when I finish Carebear this morning. She is so cute and amazingly cheerful even though part of her comes from Red Heart Supersaver!

Spanish national sychro team commercial

Watched this commercial. Synchro is even more beautiful in slow motion.

And the making of this commercial is worth to watch too.

carved stamps

Carving stamps is fun. It's also fairly easy to start: an eraser and a small enough craft knife. Of course, a stamp pad and maybe a blank journal for recording your creation.

Amigurumi Mr. Cat

Pattern for Mr. Cat http://www5a.biglobe.ne.jp/~mite/

The web page is in Japanese, but patterns for cat, bear and panda amigurumi have English version. I like the pattern as it's clear and accurate.

We found a blue speckled egg on top of the ficus tree on May 1.

My daughter confirmed that the hen's in the nest on May 3.
