Work in Progress (Crafts!)

Portal, Companion Cube Blanket. This is the first square. It's being done in 6 pieces and will be about 7ft by 7ft in. I've been doing this one on and off since I got the yarn for it. I don't know how long it'll take, but it should be done before the year is out (here's to hope!).

A part of my Chess blanket. The row starting with the knight needs a pawn piece and then that row of eight will be done. This blanket is being done in 64 pieces and will be a bit bigger than 7ft by 7ft after the border is done.

 Russia Cosplay scarf. It's going to be around 20ft long and it's 1ft wide. This one is my newest project, but I'm making good time I think.

 Blanket. Another one. Granny squares this time, and yes, I do them completely out of order. The tails aren't woven in and I'm not sure if I want to make this a large blanket or keep in a baby blanket. Help?

A coat for my niece. It'll be button-down with a hood. I just haven't started the hood yet and I haven't finished the sleeve. It should be done soon, though, and it will definitely be done before winter. 

 

 The starts of a baby blanket. It'll be 3ft by 3ft, so it can be used for a while as the child grows.

Hats and Booties. These aren't done, I'm making a set with a jacket and everything. I just wanted to make the booties. xD; I dunno what I'll do with these yet.

Mr Saturn. He needs feet and two of his whiskers and his hair+bow.

Puppy Update and Current Project List

In a previous post, I told you about my two adorable puppies. Unfortunately, not everything has been a bed of roses lately. When I headed to the beach, the puppies were left with my mother. She called us on the way there and old us that Little Roxy had Parvo.

She's on heavy antibiotics right now and she's doing pretty well. Raleigh has to have more Parvo Boosters so she doesn't get it.

Otherwise, I've been working on a few things. I'll put pictures and sniplets up soon! List Time!

Current Projects (Writing):
• Hammers and Strings (Hetalia) - General Fanfiction, America & Canada Centric; Oneshot
• War and Balance (Hetalia) - Japan/Romano; Germany/Veneziano; Multi-Chapter

Current Projects (Craft):
• Hetalia Mochis: England, Japan,
• Chess Blanket
• Portal Blanket
• Baby Things: Coat, Blanket -- more stuff will be added later.
• Russia Scarf

I'll post pictures up soon of my various craft works in progress.

Russia!Scarf

I made a video about this a few hours ago, but I decided I needed to make a blog post as well, since the video wasn't quite up to the standard of what I expected, especially since my voice is super scratchy from being ill and stressed and tired - if you still want to check it out, my Youtube is Mr Seaki.

This is the scarf so far. I have no idea how wide it'll be, honestly, since the length of the needles are 13 inches and it's pretty pressed in there.

Needles: Size 10 US or 6.00mm
Yarn: Redheart Supersaver Buff (0334)

I'll have another picture and video in a week. Wish me luck, especially since next Thrusday (which is the day I'm counting as the starting day) will be in the midst of Hell Week!

Mochi Madness

Lately, I've been watch the Hetalia - Axis Powers and World Series anime. Yeah, I was sucked in so harshly. It's pretty insane. This stems from the fact that I adore learning about the histories of different areas and my interest in different languages and cultures. While it's not the most ideal place to look at History, there are some amazing fanfics that delve deeply into relations between countries and I believe it's brought many people and cultures together and aids in understanding. My favorite series delves into Russian/American history - you can find it here [The Chosen End].

I'm not that much of a fangirl! Can you tell? xD; Since I'm a blatant liar when I say I'm not a fangirl, I've been making Mochi plushies (that I'm selling if you're interested) because they're cute and pretty easy to make. 

Here's a stack of Mochi!Characters~

From top to bottom: Gilbird, Prussia (Gilbert), North Italy/Italia Veneziano (Feliciano), and America (Alfred).  Yep. Three of my favorite characters. Find individual pictures of them my deviantArt's Mochi Gallery. I've got a blank Mochi that I'll probably make into England (Arthur). Mostly because I want to make a top-hat. 

Look forward to my Portal blanket and my chess blanket - I should have something up about those soon~ Maybe (probably) pictures~ I should probably go do my French homework now.

Stressful Day

Today, like any day, would seem pretty normal. You know - wake up, get dressed, and head to campus. Being a college student, this is extremely normal. However, I woke up and things just snowballed to hell. I don't even know why today was stressful, but I just didn't want to exist today. I'm hoping it'll be better tomorrow, since I have a mid-week break (in which I will utilize doing my French homework. Quiz there Friday - better not forget that!)

The stressful part of my day was when I came home. I have two puppies - Raleigh and Roxie. They're beautiful girls, but skittish. Roxie isn't keeping food down, though, and I don't know what is wrong with her. We tried bland dog-food and bits of non-seasoned, boiled chicken breast, but she threw that up too.

I hope Roxie will be fine, though. She's such a darling little puppy, but she's already so thin and on top of that isn't getting much nutrition since she keeps vomiting and such. I should probably take her to the vet...

I don't know what to do.

Finals are coming up soon. I only have a week left of class, and the teachers are trying to shove everything they couldn't fit into their schedule in this last week. I'm glad it ends soon - maybe next semester will be better. I hope this doesn't give me an ulcer or something - that would take the cake.

I should probably go do something productive (though I'll probably end up reading again!)
