a she dragon?

i picked up this gorgeously variegated thread at work tonight. i believe it will make a lovely she dragon with green spikes down her back. i'm not quite ready to jump back into such an intense miniature project again, but it'll be waiting for me some night when my eyes are feeling strong.

rose ring

i can work up a rose ring in about an hour. if i could sell these for $10 each it might make crocheting for profit a reasonable option.

miniature zombie

i was off work today and wore one of my cute skirts into the store for two reasons. A: sometimes i miss having job that lets me wear cute skirts. and 2: sometimes it's good to give people something to talk about.

i make lists of good things under two circumstances. A: when things really are so overwhelmingly good that i can't help but list their goodness. and 2: when i really need a reminder to focus on the good and let the rest fall away. for no particular reason, the past couple of days have definitely been 2s. but i'm glad there are still good things shuffled into the mix.

- plans to see awesome friends
- unexpected giggles from a person caught by surprise
- knowing tomorrow is pay day
- the smell of pizza baking in the oven

the little brother

when i took the fierce and friendly dragon to work, it was suggested that if he was a little smaller he'd be awesome to hang from a rear view mirror. the only way to accomplish that, as far as i was concerned, was to work him out of thread instead of yarn. i've been wanting to work with thread for awhile now, and i've even borrowed my mom's baby crochet hooks to try them out.

the result? fierce and friendly dragon's little brother measures approximately 5" from the tip of his tail to his nostrils, 1.5" from the tip of his back spikes to the ground, and 3.25" across his wings. the perfect size for hanging from a rear view mirror, wouldn't you say?
