How's the wooden house coming along? Can imagine it's taking a while due to all the small detailed bits.

I just ran out of glue and therefore finally picked up my phone. I swear I get way too focused when I start these things, if I could forget to breathe I would.

But it's going smoothly for now! Which means that I haven't yet reached the point where all the micro mistakes will catch up to me and have me looking for a way to make it work anyway. I also discarded some posters that I noticed had Harry Potter written on them, we do not stan terf works in this household.

Here are a few pictures of the ground floor!

It's still so very tiny if only I had some more glue-

Hooking rugs that look like dogs

Here's how I do it:

The process I use is called rug hooking (not latch hook or punch needle or tufting, though it is the forerunner of the latter two techniques). Rugs are hooked by pulling loops of fabric strips or yarn through the holes of a base fabric with a coarse open weave, like burlap, or linen, or rug warp. The loops are pulled through the fabric with a squat-handled hook whose business end is shaped like a crochet hook.  There are no knots and the loops aren't sewed down in any way.  The whole thing stays put just by the tension of all those loops packed together in the weave of the foundation fabric.

This isn't a true detailed tutorial but a walk-through of my particular process. The same information is on my web page, emilyoleary.com .

I hook with yarn, rather than with cut strips of wool fabric, which is what many rug hookers use.  I can get a looser, more organic distribution of loops with yarn than I could with wool strips, which are hooked in neat lines. 

Mostly I use wool yarn. In terms of yarn weight, I can use DK, worsted, or Aran.  If I'm using thicker yarn, I leave more holes un-hooked; if I'm using finer yarn, I hook more densely or double up lengths of it.  I particularly like using single ply yarns (like Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride or Malabrigo Worsted).  I don't keep count, but I think I usually use around two dozen types and colors of yarn per dog.  

This is my yarn wall in my apartment. Mostly brown and gray yarn!

I start from a small drawing in my sketchbook, then I head to FedEx office to use a copy machine, blowing up the drawing repeatedly and experimenting with how big the dog rug should be. 

After transferring the image onto my linen, I immediately go over it with Sharpie, because the Saral is really difficult to see and really easy to rub off.

The rug is held taut by a PVC quilting frame that I set on my lap.

I push my hook down through the fabric with my right hand and my left hand stays below the fabric and guides the yarn while I pull it up and through with the hook. Not every hole in the fabric is hooked. Hooking every hole would make the rug too dense. I do hook pretty densely, though-- If you pick up one of my rugs you’ll see they have a slight curl to them, which is because they’re hooked pretty tight. I'm using all different weights and types of yarn, so it's a challenge to keep the overall tension even.

I hook my loops at varying heights to create a very low relief. Sometimes I trim the loops to make them fluffier or wispier or to shape a particular part. I look at a reference photo while I work and pull out and redo sections a lot.

My q-snap frame can accommodate the growing dog rug. I have extenders to make it bigger and I can clamp around my hooking.

The back of a rug looks like lines of little stitches. The lines are little worm trails snaking around because lines of hooking are not supposed to cross over each other. It's important to start a new length of yarn rather than cross over a stitch you already made! I read this when I first started and took it to heart. It makes it much easier to undo and redo hooking if you have to (and I redo sections A Lot). It also keeps the back from getting too bulky and resulting in uneven wear on the back of a functional rug that gets floor use.

When I’m done hooking everything I turn the rug over and brush watered-down Sobo glue on the edges of the dog, making sure to get one or two of the outermost lines of hooking. I do a couple coats of this thinned out glue. I'm careful not to use so much that it seeps to the front of the rug. When the glue is dry I cut the rug out, but I don't cut so close that the loops don't have any linen to keep them in.

​ It generally takes me at least several months to finish one dog rug. My hooking frame and yarn bag are very portable (though bulky) so I can hook out and about at coffee shops or the library or a brewery if there's enough space and light.

Hooking in the wild makes me an ambassador for making things in general and rug hooking in particular. I answer people's questions and always emphasize how relatively easy it is to get started hooking. Sometimes I get anxious that other people will hook rugs that look like mine but better, but I think that working in a traditional medium means you should share your knowledge for the good of the craft.

Geto as a House Husband

Genre: Fluff Pairing: House husband Geto x Reader AN: I love him. He's so damn pretty. Who should I write next?

Have you seen him? He is mother material. Born to cook forced to slay. Let's say in a different world, you whisk this beautiful man into the domestic bliss of marriage.

Massive cottage core vibes with this one. He is very taken by the idea of not being regarded as a killing machine. Immediately busies himself with the task of decorating your shared home.

Just take this man away. Elope to mountains and save him (hermit begs you).

Wedding planning is another demon. He debates every single decision. Asking you about your preference between white gardenias or white peonies. (You love him and he is too sweet for you to say out loud that you for the end of the world cannot distinguish the flowers)

He creates elaborate flowcharts to compare the pros and cons of different cake flavors, or insists on stress-testing the honeymoon resort's structural integrity with a cursed technique (much to the staff's bewilderment).

Let's not even get into Gojo's best man speech. No one really recovered from that.

DIY projects are his shit. Renovating a raggedy old dresser into a vintage masterpiece is where his magic lies. Let this man cook.

Your home with him is a a whimsical blend of vintage finds and hand-stitched throw pillows adorned with subtle wards against lingering curses. Even the strategically placed spider plants weren't just decorative – they doubled as a natural barrier against negative energy (a discovery that both surprised and amused you).

His transition into a normal 'monkey' life was endearingly awkward, like the time he spent hours meticulously decoupaging a floral pattern onto a chair, muttering about the inefficiency of glue compared to a simple binding spell.

And the day Suguru is introduced to the world of crocheting, your world flips on its axis. The pure look of joy on his face unravels the seams of your heart as he presents you with the mood changing octopus on your birthday.

Weekends with him are craft days. With a classic rom-com in the background as he sits next to you, his hands busy in the dance of needles and yarn. Better even your fingers run through his hair, braiding his hair only to wake up to your husband with perfect mermaid waves next day.

You both are the kind of sickly sweet couple that cause Shoko to gag in cringe during holiday gatherings.

Your husband glows with the simplicity of life. His hands busy themselves with crafts, chores, gardening, never a moment of rest even in the hull of domesticity.

He is your Disney princess that rushes out to refill the bird feeder with the first rays of Sun, hums pleasantly at the sight of a perfectly baked batch of cookies, or paints the most delightful sceneries on your ceilings.

Geto Suguru was made to create. He loves the fresh scent of sheets, experimenting with new flavors of tea, or going down the path of BookTok with Faerie romances much to your astonishment.

It isn't long before, you both end up adopting teeny tiny twins from the local orphanage. Suguru's darling girls he spends his life nurturing.

He took to fatherhood with the same surprising zeal he brought to everything else. His days were filled with braiding tiny pigtails, reading bedtime stories with dramatic voice inflections (complete with a surprisingly convincing rendition of a grumpy troll), and building elaborate pillow forts that rivaled any jujutsu barrier.

And on nights when dreams of a different reality kept him away, you held his hand in yours. Calling your girls for a family sleepover in the living room. That was all it took to whisk the sadness away from your beloved's eyes.

[interlockingpatches]

This is the second or third thing I ever crocheted, back in 2005. We'd done a quick lesson in an intro to fibres course and I figured out the rest (there was no YouTube then). It's a rabbit stuffed with rags from an ill-fitting thrifted shirt.

I was in the last year of my painting degree, and earlier that summer my mom had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I was flying back and forth between Baltimore and Tampa on a weekly basis, and I kept working at my technique and making stuffed animals because it was something I could do on an airplane.

In October of that year Mom stopped treatment, and I moved back to Florida full time while she was in home hospice. I kept making stuffed animals (sometimes one per day) to keep up morale.

My mom and I were very alike. I made the crocheted IV bag, but the Christmas bells were her idea.

After she died (February 2006), I didn't want to crochet any more for awhile. I needed to finish my painting degree, so I made paintings.

(I had very generously been given a place in Elisabeth Condon's senior painting class at USF, where my parents worked, for the semester. Between grief and no doubt thinking I was private-college hot shit, I must have been unbearable, but everyone was very kind).

The paintings are chalk ground (rabbit skin glue and marble dust) and egg tempera on upholstered canvas. Chalk gesso is very brittle, and normally it would be applied to fabric mounted on panel for added support, like this pig (my first tempera painting):

The portraits, by contrast, were meant to crack and degrade over time (18 years on and they're actually in remarkably good shape, but impermanence was the idea). I left the backgrounds, where gilding might have gone, as bare gesso with the idea that they would accumulate marks from handling as I made them.

They're small.

I don't want to write any more now, so thank you for reading my traumatic crochet origin story. Like and subscribe for more depressing crocheted artwork i have so much

Oo..el bobito

progress photos + notes 👇🏻 I was going to put a read more but it just kept messing up the order of images soooo um. 👍🏻

I started out by doing tiny concept sketches of what I wanted my guy to look like, and some rough ideas of potential proportions. From these I picked one, scanned it and printed it out to-scale (23cm head to toe), and used it as a guide when making my patterns and constructing the body.

Each leg has a little pebble in it to weigh it down, as well as the torso :)

After, I made some hands out of Epoxy sculpt. I refined and sanded them twice (once when they were half-dry, and then again the morning after) before giving them a couple coats of paint and blushing them with oil pastels and a brush. I put a little hole in each of them so that I could sew them onto the arms later.

I didn't take any progress shots of the jacket, but I basically eyeballed it and drew out some patterns I thought looked right and cut them out of some scraps from an old cosplay. Since I was working on such a small scale, I chose to glue the seams together and dab a thin line of fabric glue along the raw edges to prevent fraying. The buttons are made of small beads glued to the front.

After sewing the hands on, I began work on the head.

I started by feeding a folded pipe cleaner down the spine of the torso, leaving a length poking out of the top to be stuck through the head as support. I crocheted the base and pulled the pipe cleaner through it before stuffing + closing it, and then folded the wire into the head to stop it from slipping out.

The felting took me a few tries; I couldn't find the right wool colour at first, so after a while I decided to fluff up some of the same yarn I used to crochet the head and use that instead. A few hours of felting later, a little bit of black wool for the eyes and mouth, and it was ready to be blushed with pastels like the hands ^_^

The hair I rooted strand by strand, using small pieces of brown yarn split into 3 strands each and rooted using my felting needle. I worked in an inward spiral, and then filled out any thin areas with the leftover yarn.

Thus was born el bobito <3

GUESS IM STILL ON THET TF2 GRIND--- Ever since I resketched them all in my new style, I have been thinking about ACTALLY designing my merc ocs!! SO I FINALLY DID!! Plus they all share colors, proper, so they look so nice together!! I kina miss their story, so I'll see about exploring that more too.

Of course, to show off their scars and features, I also made a bare version! This will likely double as dress up dolls for future outfits I may make LMAO

Though a couple share names with cannon TF2 mercenaries, their lore and personalities have long since branched off from their canonical counterparts. If you're interested in some details about them, here's a quick mini-bio for each one!! I'm also open to answering any questions about them, because they have at least 6 years of history behind them, haha!

BLU MEDIC ~ Hannes Augesburt

German ~ He/Him ~ Demiromantic Bisexual Hannes is the closest you can get to the 'villain' of the story without looking beyond the mercenaries themselves. He's an egotistical sadist who wants nothing but complete and utter control of his team. He will do anything to win, even willingly replace his perfectly working arm for a far more powerful alternative.

BLU ENGINEER ~ Dallas "Dell" Conagher

American (Texas) ~ He/Him ~ Homosexual Dallas is a nepobaby for sure, only working for BLU because of his father and fathers father's loyalty to the Administrator. Graduating college for the first time at age 15, Dallas is an incredibly intelligent man, but all of that goes out the door when it comes to Hannes. He is extremely permissive and rarely has the guts to talk back or otherwise disobey the Medic's orders.

BLU SNIPER ~ Bernard {>REDACTED<}

French ~ He/Him ~ Homosexual No one really knows who he is or what he's about. Bernard spends most of his time alone doing god knows what; half the time he isnt even in the BLU Base when they're off work. The closest thing he has to a friend is the pyro, who has done what she can to include him in group activities to get him out of his room. The most personal thing she's discovered that he has a knack for knitting and crochet.

BLU PYRO ~ Ana Maria Garcia-Lopez

Mexican-American (Kansas) ~ She/Her ~ Pansexual Ana is a passionate and confident woman. She does what she can to inspire confidence in her team and lend them a hand whenever she can. The glue who keeps everyone together, she is often the first to rebuttal the Medic's commands if she perceives him going too far, though she's gotten a lot more quiet since the introduction of his new robotic arm. She fears what he's capable of.

RED HEAVY ~ Mikhail "Misha" Medved

Russian ~ He/Him ~ Heterosexual The often quiet muscle of the Red team, Misha spends most of his free time reading in the public spaces of the RED Base. He enjoys listening to others ramble and replies infrequently. However, when he feels like he has something to say, he is a loud and boisterous personality who has no shame or fear in his own opinions and humor.

RED SPY ~ Jourdain "Dain" {>REDACTED<}

French ~ He/Him ~ Bisexual An almost complete recluse, Jourdain takes no joy or comfort in interacting with his team; at least, that's what he lets on. Jourdain is a man who's so deeply fearful of getting hurt, that he refuses to let anyone get close enough to have the opportunity, and thus, he only spends time with his team during work hours. He does his job well and doesn't even slack on it, even though he believes it to be below him compared to his old jobs.

RED SCOUT ~ Nora Peterson

French-American (Massachusetts) ~ She/Her (Transfem) ~ Sapphic Bisexual Nora is a loud and proud Bostonian girl who has a love of sports and art. After she dropped out of art college, she needed to make up for the wasted tuition and pay back her mother, so she got a job fast. The first one she could find and paid the most was a mercenary job, though she didn't know what it actually was at the time. Since arriving here, she has settled in well, and soon settled into herself with her transition. Being a mercenary is terrifying at times, but she's felt freer then she has ever felt before.

[shirefantasies]

hiiii, just wanted to say i adore your blog, and i hope you're having a wonderful day! i don’t know if im late to requesting a matchup, but if you’re still doing them, im 5’9”, bi, ace and female. I’ve played the viola for almost a decade now, even though i hate performing due to stage fright, i LOVE to read, mostly fantasy and mystery, and am a massive art history and architecture nerd. i collect house plants and knit and crochet for fun. i’m pretty shy but once i get out of my shell i am extremely sarcastic yet cuddly lol.

-🪴

Nope, they’ve been opened up! Hope you like The Hobbit because I match you with…

Bofur!

Performing your viola in a tavern, you can’t help noticing the eyes of one particular patron stuck to you like glue. Puffing on his pipe thoughtfully, he maintains an intense, beckoning gaze your entire performance. When the keep tells you you’ve a drink from a guest, there’s not a single doubt in your mind it’s from the bloke in the hat. A spike of nerves runs through you- that had been one of your first performances with an audience, and having any sort of reception only heightens the self-awareness you're trying to avoid.

Accepting your drink, you nod a thanks at the hatted patron, who naturally heads your way. "Never seen you here before," he remarks. "And you may not much still," you shoot back, "I needed a spare bit of coin, but I did not visit this town to perform." "What did you visit it for?" "To study some of the neighboring towns and help repair them. What I have always really wanted to be is an architect." Whistling, the dwarf gives a big smile, one that tells you exactly how blown away he is. "By my beard, I didn't know I was in the presence of a genius. Well, here's hoping I'll see your designs one day!" "Oh, I have some with me, did you want to-" "Bust 'em out, lassie!"

Bofur, as it turns out his name is, ended up being quite the fun company. Perhaps, you consider, you will return to that tavern after all. As it is, your work carries you deeper into town, or rather you should say its ruins. Burnt as the buildings are, though, your scans and sketches give you a good sense for the overall style and structure of the place once called Dale. A team of dwarves awaits your sketches of one of the larger complexes, accepts them, and you move on. One structure stands out to you immediately, the cutest, coziest little place tucked away at the side of a dilapidated marketplace. "Whose is this?" You ask the dwarf builders. One sets aside one final stone on the cart he is loading to reply, "That would be one of ours, actually, lass. Three fellas from the Lonely Mountain bought that one. Plan on putting in a toy shop, they said." Your heart is beyond moved. "I want to design it." "What?" "I want to design it. Can I speak to them?" Nodding, the dwarf shrugs. "Why not? Not sure what they have in mind. I'll send for them."

What are the odds that they bring forth Bofur? Grinning and still in that hat, the dwarf introduces you to his cousin Bifur and his brother Bombur. No strong family resemblance, but the three of them are clearly thick as thieves. Bofur himself begins talking up your skills immediately, calling you a master architect and a viola virtuoso to boot and making you giggle. He shows you some of their little pull-alongs and wind-ups, bringing further smiles to your face and compliments to your lips. “See?” He says to the others, shooting you a wink. “She’s even got good taste.”

They all unanimously love your vision for the shop and even help out with rebuilding, so you get quite close to the entire plucky little trio. You almost refuse all the payment they offer, giving you money for your design efforts as well as a cut from the crocheted dolls you’d let them sell. Your shelves were getting full from your hobby, after all. Each dwarf gets a handmade gift as well: thick, warm gloves for Bombur’s mining trips, a bag for Bifur to carry his supplies in, and a new scarf for Bofur, who throws his arms around you and swears he’ll never take it off. You take it as a joke, but he always seems to have it slung around his neck from then on…

They often let you work quietly, take your time to recharge and just pull you into the occasional question or joke. Thus, you’re certainly not expecting Bofur to sit at your side one day while you work, hemming and hawing and wringing his gloved hands before he finally asks if you’ve ever put much thought into settling down. “Not that a toy shop is all that much excitement, but-” Grinning, you cut him off. “I thought you’d never ask.”

Huntikmas day 19- Random niche hobbies the team have with no basis in canon

Dante: Extreme mountain biking

So Dante is described as an extreme sportsman in the series and we see him doing a lot of crazy stuff like skiing and intense martial arts but we've all seen those mad videos red bull put out of extreme mountain biking and you can't tell me that's not something Dante would do. Particularly in the countryside of Germany there are a lot of trails so it may have been his first venture into extreme sports and even though he may not have the time for it, nor can he drag around a bike across the globe, its still something he's very passionate about. (This is just one of Dante's many hobbies, I've got a whole list of random stuff he does because he's good at everything)

Sophie: Crochet

Crochet is just magic knotting at the best of times but I reckon Sophie is one of those people who can read a book and crochet at the same time. She says it's a mental exercise, being able to process information whilst conducting another action with her hands that also requires concentration but really she's just a wizard. Leblanche recommended it to her at first as a relaxing hobby but she got bored doing just one thing and soon watching tv or listening to podcasts whilst she was doing it become too easy so she upped the challenge to reading.

Zhalia: Website design

This is definitely her side hustle, it's the perfect balances of coding, design and human psychology. It started out with just her trying to create convincing trojan sites for the Organisation but then she found it strangely enjoyable and she found a lot more she could be doing with it.

Lok: Wood-working

Not really out there, we see Eathon Lambert making his own puzzles in the show and Lok wanted to go down the same path. Solving a puzzle is one task, being able to design and construct them for others is another thing. It started with simple wooden shapes designed to fit together but whilst perfecting his techniques its led him to carving other items like figures or a phone stand. Now not only is he getting better at making custom puzzles, he can carve intricate gifts to give to others.

Cherit: Jigsaws

We know Cherit likes puzzles, but for him jigsaw puzzles isn't about the thrill of solving something complex, its about putting together a picture little by little and the satisfaction of having created something from a messy pile. People often challenge him to complete a puzzle with the pattern side down for extra difficulty but Cherit likes to see his creations as he goes and has one of those folder books and some puzzle glue to preserve his favourite works

Den: Tik Tok

Okay not actually tie Tok but that kind of short video, vine, blogging behaviour you see going round. He's not one to show of his dancing but I can see him doing instructional videos on what he's learning at the moment. He also does those reaction videos with his usual snark and he's very happy to give his opinion on weird posts he finds.

Harrison: Pro-tag

Do not even get me started on how pro tag fits into my Huntik au universe, it's a whole thing. The benefit of pro tag is that it's a team sport without having to actually work with your team mates whilst in the arena. Harrison often gets frustrated with others so this is an ideal way for him to build his people skills, and his training skills whilst also exercising some independence and not depending on others to include him.

[littlefluffbutt]

Behold the Beaded Bride!

I consider this my Magnum Opus as I’m not doing this again anytime soon! I did this back in 07-08 (I think) for my mom for Christmas. She was made using the 1901 French Bridal Gown from the Paradise Collection crochet series.

This is the materials and the beginning of the skirt pattern. Yup, you read that right-1000 sequins! (So it’s more sequined than beaded but whatever),Luckily Sis would string stuff for me whenever she got frustrated with homework/her video games.

It’s made in two sections; the bodice:

and the skirt. Both are rather simple; it’s the appliques that make it really fancy. The medallions were crocheted first and the lines of sequins or beads done up separately. Then using the template in the pattern you glued the pieces onto a thin piece of fabric to create the appliques. These you would cut out and glue onto the gown (which is why it hangs funny in places)

The circle medallions are spaced all around the bottom and the edges of the skirt are heavily beaded as well. You can also see the sleeve appliques here.

Here you can see the beaded choker and headdress. I had to redo some of the hanging beads as mice had chewed it! (but thankfully it was easy to fix)

Her veil is HUGE. It’s crochet beaded all along the edge and features another applique at the bottom.

Close up. I love the butterfly here matches the one on her bodice.

Her bouquet! The outer edge has a row of beads ans sequins. The mice ate the ribbon roses so I had to replace them; I like these better anyway. She also had a beaded purse but the mice destroyed it and I’m not inclined to make another one (I’m just thankful it wasn’t anything else!)

It’s been about 15 years and I’m STILL impressed I managed to make this! I hope you enjoyed seeing it:)

[thesweetnessofspring]

i have a few Everlark Post-MJ head canons that I’d like to share!

Katniss and Peeta get to finally act like the normal kids/teenagers they never got to be? Small things like playing out in the rain, reading a bunch of books that were once banned by the Capitol, dancing to music in their living room, and getting into mundane hobbies not part of their typical persona (like I can see Katniss taking up some knitting or crocheting? maybe Peeta could take a hand at carpentry, building small things like birdhouses and chairs)

Once they’re more stable physically and mentally, they add work-out regimes in their daily routines. Peeta, being an athlete in canon, starts to lift weights again and maybe take a few runs around the district once in awhile? He comes back to 12 probably still a lot skinner compared to when he was training for the quell? But he gets all the muscle back in no time, much to Katniss’ appraisal 😉 speaking of Katniss, she’s naturally active in the woods with climbing trees and all that but I do believe she too takes a few runs once im awhile, sometimes with Peeta ☺️

Okay this one is my fave but they love to mess with Haymitch because now that their lives aren’t at risk, him getting pissed at them is just plain hilarious. I can imagine Peeta pulling small pranks on him (as a normal teenage boy does) like doodling on the sides of the newspaper before Haymitch gets to read it at breakfast. When he gets Katniss roped into the pranks tho, they truly become a menace. Drawing on Haymitch’s face while he naps and him not noticing till he strolls into town and someone points it out, they super glue his coffee mug to the table, purposely showing a lot of PDA while he eats because they know it disgusts him, filling his flask with odd (but consumable) liquids 🥲 though, Haymitch also gets his revenge sometimes like by timing the exact moment he knows they’re about to ~get busy~ so he walks in and casually makes conversation while they stare at him in irritation, or stealing Peeta’s freshly baked loaves from the counter when he leaves the kitchen for a bit 😭 also, making a lot of dirty jokes and innuendos to Katniss once he noticed she and Peeta are becoming a lot closer because he knows it pisses her off

Omg I’m so sorry for the long post but I have so many HCs for them! I hope you don’t mind me sending them once in awhile since idk where to really put them lmao

❤️, headcanon-anony

headcanon-anony, I'm honored you would think to send these to me! I love all of these! Especially about how Katniss, Peeta, and Haymitch find little ways to tease and prank each other. Such a found family thing to do and a light way to cope with their trauma through laughter. And Katniss and Peeta taking time to be kids again?! Love it! I think later when they have kids, getting to experience the joys of childhood through them is also very healing and meaningful for them.

[padawansuggest]

Okay. The trike is together. My dad (who used to run a bike shop okay he knows this shit he just used me for my better eyesight a lot cause that’s an issue for him now I’m so fucking glad I have him I would have just cried at it) wants us to get a nice set of washers for the seat itself, a couple more LED lights (I got one recently without even realizing it had a red light setting and dad wants me to get two more of it cause it was on sale) and we need a third reflector for one wheel cause we seem to have lost the backing to one of them and he doesn’t think it’ll stay long if we just glue it. But he also wants Lock Tight glue cause he doesn’t trust a lot of bolts (lmao this man would say it’s fine if it was his but for his kid???? Nahhhhh it could be better).

But that’s okay cause I’m sore from like 3 straight days of Going Places Doing Things, so I’m chill to nap till tomorrow and then get what I can on that list, plus a secondary bike lock. The trike itself came with a lock with keys, but it’s not a GREAT lock so I’m gonna get a super nice one, and use the one it came with to lock the basket in the back of the cart (it came with a grated lid lol) because that way I can go to multiple stores without worrying about my stuff.

Now, I’m gonna get started on crocheting at least 4 bags for the big basket in the back, and one WIDE one for the basket in the front.

Pictures after the read more and if any of you save pics of my inside home I’ll be in your walls.

They wanted us to metal wrap the grates to make the basket but me and dad don’t trust shit lmao this is a zip tie family. First pic is from last night close to when we stopped for the night. I was shocked we were able to do the whole thing next to the front door right in front of our armchairs lol. We did this in relative comfort.

Day 5: Hobby

(In which Emmet makes a little accessory for one of his many, many Joltik)

(Can be read here on AO3)

-----------------

The tiny Joltik crawled over the skeins of yarn, arranged in a colorful pile in a basket beside the gray armchair. It chirped, squirming under a soft bundle of blue to poke out the other side.

“Do you like that one?”

It squeaked, starting to gnaw on the yarn.

“Ah, ah – please do not bite it,” Emmet said, putting down the crochet hook in his hands and gently picking up the Joltik and yarn, prying the two apart. “It is not a battery! It will hurt your stomach if you eat it.”

It squirmed, escaping his fingers and crawling up his sleeve. He bit back a ticklish giggle as the Joltik moved up his arm, the lump under his sleeve making its way to his shoulder and poking out of his collar.

“Why don’t you look at the buttons?” he said, rubbing the top of its head with a finger and picking up the assaulted ball of blue yarn with his other hand, unwinding a few inches.

The Joltik chittered at him and hopped to the arm of the chair, crawling back onto the table and past the basket of yarn to clamber into the opened tin of loose, miscellaneous buttons. The buttons rattled noisily against the walls of the tin as all but the Joltik’s fluffy puff of a tail vanished below them like some kind of fuzzy Sharpedo under ocean waves.

Satisfied that the Joltik would be distracted, Emmet picked up the crochet hook again and started to crochet a border of blue along the edge of the silver piece of crocheted yarn.

The buttons rattled next to him, giving a particularly loud burst of noise accompanied by an excited chirp as he finished the little piece, and the Joltik popped out with a button in its mandibles.

“Did you find one you like?”

Happy chirping met his question, and he held out his hand to accept the tiny green button.

“Ah! A verrrry good choice.”

The tiny bauble shone in the lamplight, a pretty shade of emerald, and he finished tying off the end of the yarn to rummage around for a needle and thread.

The Joltik returned to its perch on his shoulder, crawling excitedly around back and forth over his collar until he was done. He held up his hand to it, and it hopped onto his palm.

“Sit still, please,” he asked the little bug.

It did so, and he set the tiny crocheted hat onto its head, smile widening as he lifted the Joltik up a little higher.

“Perfect!”

It squeaked happily, little claws coming up to play with the edge of the hat, little blue eyes squinting shut in a cheerful Joltik smile.

-------------

Rambling under the cut. Have a good day!

<Prev, first, next>

I wasn't sure what to do for this one, honestly, and ended up tossing this together in like twenty-something minutes. It was rather relaxing to write something that was basically just aimless fluff, honestly.

I think I ended up just rolling two hobbies and some memories into a bundle to project onto Emmet.

I crochet from time to time, and started but never finished a bag that would have been silver edged with dark blue.

I also make tiny hats on occasion, by which I mean for my birds, though they're cobbled together from cardboard, glue, and paint. It is incredibly fun.

Finally, somewhere around here, there is a big, heavy pot that is full of containers of old buttons. I remember spending ages looking through them all when I was little. It was fun. They also smelled nice.

Anyway, this was fun. I hope you enjoyed this rare sighting of pure fluff from me. It is truly an anomaly, and a continuation of my angstless streak.

HIII🤗🤗 How have you been my snow??? Have you eaten and hydrated yourself enough?? I hope you did◝(*'◡'*)◜I want the best for my favorite blog🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

I just finished crocheting a strawberry pencil case😮‍💨 Its kinda wonky( . .)Speaking about hobbies I'm curious what's yours? I think its or one of them is reading🤔

Anyywayssss I wanted to know if you kin or just relate to any bsd characters? I have a few characters that I relate to in 'some ways' like sigma akutagawa, and dazai (again I relate to them in 'some ways' as in physical or mental characteristics) (I'm not a dazai kinne plz🥺🥺) I relate to Atsushi Nakajima the most, it's one of the reasons I'm kinda attach to him like glue. I could understand akutagawa as someone I can relate to but like dazai. DAZAI.💀 (very fitting emoji for him ngl) but I'm more confuse because there where times back then that I got Nikolai?!?!?!? Idk how, when or where the possibility comes from😧 seriously like😭😭 maybe bc of the freedom thing (though I dont really agree on his opinion about it. Someone get this man a therapist- no actually I'll be the therapist I wanna talk with him about the reason he have for being that way or doing what he is doing seriously)

Well byyeee my dearest, see you soon🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🧛🏻‍♀️🫀

Hello, my little Draculaura🧛🏻‍♀️🫀! ♥️ Thank you for always checking on my health. I’m feeling much better now (I know you sent this days ago, but I finally had the time to respond! ♥️)

Regarding your questions: my hobbies are (you guessed correctly) reading, painting, drawing, listening to music, and studying new languages (recently, it’s Russian). I also enjoy doing yoga now and then, and I like watching the sea or lake in general. I don’t kin any character, to be honest—neither a BSD character nor any other character. Sigma is a relatable character for me too, but not to a “kinning” level. Also, Atsushi makes a lot of sense for you! You share the same MBTI types. ♥️

holy cow how'd you make so many tiny dunmeshi plushies?? they're awesome btw! but what adjustments did you make to the tiny chilchuck pattern to make it look like izutsumi?

I worked like a lil assembly line SOBS. It was fun and i ended up needing to make MORE during the convention, but I honestly. have no idea how i powered through it.

As for Izutsumi!! I still plan on releasing the patterns but for now i hope!! this messy explanation will do

Obligatory link to the chilchuck pattern just in case

One difference I'll note is when i started making tons of them, i ended up deciding to adjust the first foot over a stitch so theres that slight difference between the below pattern n the one linked above

Color Key Black, Ivory, Brown, Red

R1: Mr 6 R2: Inc 6 R3: (Sc,inc)x6 R4-6: Sc5, Sc8 Sc5 R7: HDC 18 R8: (Sc, Dec) x6 R9: FLO// Sc3 BBL Sc4 BBL Sc3 R10: Sc12 R11: Sc4 BBL Sc3 BBL Sc3 R12: Dec6

For her pieces I did them mainly via inserting the hook between stitches and crocheting them onto the main body, rather than making pieces to sew on-

Hair: Insert hook at the edge of the top hairline and pull through a loop. CH5, Sc, Hdc, dc, trb, and SLST into the middle of the hairline. Ch4 Sc Hdc Dc, Slst into a stitch or two before the hairline ends, CH5, Sc, Hdc, dc, trb. and then slst past the end of the face. I would then glue/sew the ends down so they would stay flat on her face.

Ears: Where the hair meets skin on row 4, Insert hook and pull through a loop. Ch 4, Sc Hdc, Dc, and slst into the middle-ish of the top of the head. Do the same for the other side.

Tail: Middle of row 10 or 11, Insert hook and pull through a loop. Ch5, HDC 4 down the chai Insert into the same place as before and slst.

When i actually release the patterns, I'll have pictures and such, but for now hopefully this is,, somewhat?? easy enough to follow? Im a very visual person so like OTL its easier to show rather than tell so idk how easy this is to read.
