New Sackboy-dolls

I made these during the last couple of days (5 days?) for Mark Robb (MarkIsRealBored on YouTube) and his girlfriend Jessica.
Here's Mark:
Go check him out on YT. He vlogs and sings. And he's really good!
And here's his girlfriend, Jessica:
I also made this hat for Mark:
If you want to know how I made the hat, the bat or the earflaps that you can't see, ask! :D

Camp NaNoWriMo - Tuesday's Tallies

The last 8 days have been going like this:

 
STEP 1:
Make a cup of Chocolate-milk (only since I got lactose-free milk) or tea.

STEP 2:
Open Office Word.

STEP 3:
Open YouRepeat with this song: Getting Productive

STEP 4:
Put in both earphones and turn the volume high, to make sure noone disturbs your productiveness.

STEP 5:
Stare at the blank page and think "Why did I sign up for this?"

STEP 6:
Watch a movie.

STEP 7:
Actually get inspired and type around 500 words.

STEP 8:
Be proud of it, even if you didn't achieve your daily goal.

Again! If you'd like to read my Camp NaNoWriMo story, you can do that here and if you'd like to see my stats on the story, you can do that here (should work).

By the way. I passed the 3K mark yesterday. I am now (today not included) at 3035 words. That's only 16,965words remaining until I reach my goal of 20K.

Camp NaNoWriMo


If you want to know what my story is you can go here: Discovering Disney or here: Camp NaNo if you want to see my stats.
I hope you like my story.
ATTENTION! This is /MY/ story! If you use it in any way or make it seem like it's yours, I will be /VERY/ cross with you! Unfortunately I can't say that you would risk anything, because I can't actually sue anyone who claims that it's his, since I don't really have proof... Except perhaps the date of publication!
But /PLEASE/ respect my work. /MY/ work. Thank you.

Projects for Events

My friend Florian (the one I made the puppet for) has his birthday soon, so I'm trying to figure something out. I had an idea in mind, but I won't be able to make that... :(
What's more is that my friend Léa aksed me to be her maid of honor as she's planning to get married to her fiancé some time soon. I have an idea of what I could make for her. She (they?) already knows what her hubby-to-be will get: my Tom Baker scarf. It's beautiful, and I really love it, but it's just too long and too heavy for me... :(
Apart from that Mark Robb (aka MarkIsRealBored on youtube and twitter) finally purchased a PO box! So I'll be working on the stuff I wanted to give him. That is a sackboy doll of him and a Batman hat! He really likes batman!
I got these today and I'll see what I can make of them. The black and cream are actually 100g skeins of 3mm yarn, which makes me really happy, because that will make it so much easier to crochet sackboy dolls. Before I always used 3mm yarn (because I had nicer colors in 3mm) and the skin was 4-5mm yarn from Zeeman, but with this I'll be able to make all 3mm dolls! Yay!

One A Day Project - Tuesday's Tallies

WEDNESDAY:
Finished sewing on all of the squares.
AND:
Made two rows of inner rim.

THURSDAY:
Started striping.
4 rows
Scratch that out, I unravelled them.
I'm cheating this weekend, since I can't carry such a big, heavy project around with me, my mum is taking over, she's making a large rim all around:
 
FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY:

What my mother achieved over one weekend of me being away.
+ 7 rows of rim.
And the decision to leave the blanket's completion to my mum for Camp NaNo's sake.
So... There you go. Official Declaration. April will be left to a minimum of crocheting and a MAXIMUM of writing!
(Find me on Camp NaNo's website under the nickname of "Nerdygurmi")

TUESDAY:
Only 496 words for Camp NaNoWriMo... :/
Oh and this:
 21 skeins of wool. All the colors I used so far for the blanket. The project of making it to use up the scraps, failed, I had to buy more wool to continue... This came for a total of 24,57€. That's 3 skeins for 0.99€ and the other 18 for 1.20€ each. My mum's gonna have fun!
