This is what I made yesterday.  My daughter took the picture on the "toy camera" setting, I really like it.  This was supposed to be a little toy that my son could keep in his pocket and squeeze if he felt scared or uncomfortable. Because of this I gave it a "heart."  I took a red pony bead and wrote "LOVE" on it in permanent marker and put it in with the stuffing.   I made it from the left overs of the Solar Flair yarn held double like the hat.  I could have gone down a size because it came out just a bit too big (on Ravelry I have a picture with my son in it for scale).  I'll make him another one later that's smaller.

I didn't mean to skip yesterday I just felt "off."  I think a lot of it has to do with the rainy weather. I was feeling down and got a sinus headache.  Neither were bad so I could just push through but I also didn't want to craft and felt restless.  When this happens I know something is wrong.  I took a nap and felt better after but that threw the whole day off.  I feel better today so maybe I just needed a little sleep.

On Tuesday I worked on the Shaelyn but had to rip a bunch out.  Wile the patter is not hard it is a bit difficult to do wile you are trying to read subtitles.  I made a few mistakes so I "tinked" back and will work on it again today.  After I made the little mameshiba toy yesterday I worked on my husband's sleeve again.  They were just about 20" at last count.  I thought I only had to go to 24" but I have to go to 26". (sigh) I'm still working on my Trillian at night and if I'm waiting some where.  That pattern says to work till you have 7% of your yarn left then start the border.  I don't have a scale so I'll just have to count out the yards, when I get closer, and tie them off in some way to let me know when to stop.  The Shaelyn is at the top of my priorities and then the scarf I had to rip out that I will cast on again soon.

I finished Cheongdamdong Alice.  It's about a poor girl (Han Se Kyung) that realizes no matter how hard she works she will alwys be poor so she looks for a way to break into the rich society (Cheongdamdong neighborhood). Se Kyung finds an old high school rival who has done this and bribes her into helping Se Kyung do the same. Mean wile the very damaged Cha Seung Jo falls in love with the idealistic Se Kyung and doesn't realize she has changed.  He is very rich but pretends he is not at first and Se Kyung starts to fall for him but pushes him away for her goals.  Of course he eventually reveals the real him and she wants to confess as well but is told not to by various people.  Of course with a lie that big the relationship is doomed and it's really painful to watch because everyone seems to be doing the wrong things for the wrong reasons.  There is a lot of crying but on some level it works out in the end.  It's not that I didn't like it but it was not really what I was looking for. I really wanted something funnier and this was not at all.  There is one good kiss in the show.  Usually there is that weird drama kiss where they press their lips together, with a surprised expression.  This one was a real kiss.    

I realized something about dramas that I never really thought about.  The sets are built in giant warehouses that aren't really heated.  Even though the scene is supposed to be indoors sometimes you can still see their breath.  It makes me think more of the actors. I don't know if I could be that cold and act at the same time.  Since I finished ... Alice I was going to watch Faith but I was watching that one with my husband and so I needed one I could watch alone. I chose The King of Drama.  The kdrama girls on Ravelry consider it a level 201 drams (to use a college course term).  A drama that you don't show to beginners, one that you need to have watched a few to really get.  I counted it up and I have watched twelve Korean dramas start to finish and one Taiwanese drama not to count all the one's I've seen just a few episodes of.   I think I qualify, also it looks funny.  I watched the first fifteen minutes and I laughed a few times.  Watching that is the plan for today.

Yesterday I watched some podcasts.  There were about ten episodes of  Knit 1 Heart Too that wouldn't work.  I messaged Wendy and she found them for me.  It was so nice of her to do that for me.  I am now into 2012 for that podcast and as of yesterday had caught up will all may other ones (one or two might come out today).  I'm really enjoying Knit 1 Heart Too so I will join the group once I get caught up.

It's May 1st so we are supposed to get a picture today.  I'll have to see how the weather is when the kids get home from school I may have to post pone it till tomorrow or even the weekend.  Tomorrow I'll be running errands so I may not blog but I'll try.  I'll see you next time, hopefully with a May picture.
