Since I forgot to take a picture before I mailed the secret project I used the one from Lisajedi (Ravelry name) when she said she received it.  She collected everything and sent it on.  The little totoro is easy to recognize, but the square I'm really disappointed with. There was discussion about using acrylic or cotton because there is a wool sensitivity in the house.  I thought other people would be using cotton so I was trying to match.  It's two strands held together and the yarn was really splitty (if that's a word).  It's mostly knit with some surface crochet to give the comic book panel look.  When I was tucking in the ends I cut one why to short.  Lisajedi is a Jedi (spell check wants that capitalized) because she made it work in the blanket.  The totoro has french knot eyes since it's for a baby.  The baby's older sister wanted to steal the totoro so that made me feel good.

I worked on the Shaelyn but not as much as I should have.  I'm going to work on it a lot today and hopefully be able to block it tomorrow or Friday.  I need to get it done.  I'm down to the last minute again.  Why do I always do this to myself?  When I finish I'll try and finish the scarf.  I did work on the baby blanket a little before bed but I didn't get much done.  I'll have at least one project off the needles soon and possibly two.

The King of Dramas was still good.  There are just a hundred little things like a dancing flower on the dash board of a run down truck or someone wearing a scarf with hearts on it to a secret meeting about a love scandal.  I think I just finished episode 15 and there are 18 so I'm almost done.  When I'm done I'll go back to Personal Preference (Personal Taste).  I watched about three episodes of it before and then got distracted.  I think, even though Lee Min Ho is in it, I will be a little disappointed after The King of Dramas.

I think I saw a male house finch. It looked brown like a sparrow but the head was red.  Not a bright ted but a red so brown it almost didn't look red.  Many of the pictures I saw on line the birds look poofy (for lack of a better word) but the one I saw was really sleek.  It was the only bird that was listed on What bird that was even close.  I think that was my only adventure.  I'll see you next time.
