A Bit of a Strange Fishie

The Life and Likes of a Strange Fish *blub*

[strangelilfishie]

Finishing day. I was putting this off because I am not really happy with the look of these toys. All of them have some bits that look sloppy and I am really one of those perfectionists that cant unsee those bits. My kids think they are great tho and since they are thoys and meant to be played with this should be more than fine! Still got 3 more to finish up. Yeah I am really good at procrastinating the finishing up bits hahaha #knitting #breien #knittoy #handmadebyme #handgemaakt #handmade #rebeccadanger #debibirkindesigns #susanclaudinodesigns #cat #jinx #elephant #piemeldier #bunny #stylecraftspecialdk #procrastination #lotsmoresewingtodo

Mommy, I am a dragon ... Finding things like this in front of the midgets bedroom at 1:30 in the morning makes this whole mommylark worth it #kidsdrawing #proudmommy #donttellherisaidthat

Ha! Quite pleased with these pics. Didnt do anything with them to spruce them up really. Just made a collage and put the #clarendonfilter on. Maybe my tablet will finally learn to take semi decent pictures 😂 #crochet #crochettoy #crochettersofinstagram. #kangaroo #lalylala #mamaandbaby #selfie #wishmycoldwouldgoaway #handmade #endlesswip #takingphotosisfun #haken #handgemaakt #pop #dollmaking

This was one of those projects that got kicked to the corner for a loooooong time. I really disliked the feel of the catania cotton on my hands. As it so happens this was a favlrite sucking toy for the little man while teething. So mercerized cotton is indeed a good choice for babies! #amiselfie #lalylala #cotton #crochet #kangaroo #crochettoy #amigurumi #yesthereisalsoaknitscarf #noideawhereitis #selfie #haken #crochettersofinstagram #mamaandbaby

Follow up picture! There is a lot more (well maybe not that much) than the little Madames pout. #amiselfie #mycrochetdoll #bergeredefrance #crochet #selfie #haken #handmade #survivedminime

Another one to show the colours. Maybe should knit a flower for on its head ... Not really sure if the little miss decided on a gender yet tho teehee. #mochimochiland #mochimochiworld #squidpocalypse #hugeknits #knittoy #knittersofinstagram #knitting #toymaking #handmade #knittedtoys #squid #genderundecided #wtbmetime

Me-time is hard to come by lately. Who knew toddler boys are so busy all day?!? 😂 Pulled out a huge squid I made a while ago for the little miss. Love love love these patterns by Anna Hrachovec. Def have to make a mini me for this one 😀 #mochimochiland #mochimochiworld #squidpocalypse #hugeknits #knitting #toymaking #knittersofinstagram #handmade #squid #knittedtoys #realywanttomakeoneagain

Second day failure -aaargh!

Sooooow, I am doing grand with my own challenge ... Ok, ok it isn't 2017 yet. But hey I shouldn't fuck up on day 2 tho haha. I have a very good set of reasons tho. 1. Sprog 2 is ill, and who knew 1 year old boys already ha e the man flu mode? 2. Sprog 1 and 2 both were so kind to gift me their colds, so mommy Strange is also headaching, sniffling and sneezing. 3. The best reason, finally getting to play the witcher 3! Yes I am very late in jumping on the bandwagon. But I dont give a flying fuck, I am having a great time with it. Such a great time that I am having to write this blog in the freaking middle of the night and I still ha e to get up to do the schoolrun for Sprog 1 in the morning. Looking from different perspectives, I either have my priorities very straight or very skewed 😂 Maybe a good idea to sneak into the bed without waking anyone ...

Light that on fire, baby! (Would you wear it or burn it? Write WEAR or BURN in the comments).

[strangelilfishie]

Burn baby Burn! I am completely over being someone else. The only one I can be is me, so lets keep doing that 😁

[strangelilfishie]

So here's the deal, as a challenge to myself I am going to try to make a post every single day in 2017. No idea if any one gives a flying fuck, because let's face it my life isn't that exciting and I'm not famous (or young and good looking)😂 But making at least one post every day will force me to get over my social anxiety and maybe, just maybe it means I will find some time where I can legitimately ignore my kids for a few minutes. Win-Win as far as I'm concerned 😁

First small start on my #harrypotter #crossstitch by #cloudfactory. Def have to work on getting my stitches even again.
