Here are all the pieces of the totro.  We have a body, ears, arms, eyes, tummy and tail. This pile of random things now have to turn into a totoro.  This is the part I find time consuming.  The sewing just isn't as much fun as the crochet. I will use the long tales to help hold the piece on but I will actually sew it on with thread.  I was going to make my sister's tea cozy next but I think I'm going to make mitts that go with the hats I already made for her kids.  (well baby mitts, fingerless mitts and a scarf depending on the kid).  I'm sneaking in a bit on my socks here and there as well.

Besides playing WOW yesterday I did some errands so I didn't get much crafting time in. The one thing we did do yesterday was go to my daughter's open house. Because there are so many kids (300 5th graders) I didn't get a welcoming feeling.  It kind of felt like the teachers were saying "hi, bye."  I know it's not a parent teacher conference but it didn't feel terribly friendly even though I'm sure they are great teachers.

I think that's about it for today.  Nothing exciting is a good thing right?  I'll see you next time.
