“crafty horror” and found my two sites (wordpress and blogspot). That makes my day.
It should be noted that I am currently working on a few sculptures created from yarn, muslin and wire. I would have taken pictures showing the progress but I have only two hands. As much as I enjoy making films I could never maintain a high like the one I have when I’m creating knitted and crocheted work.
I think there is less sense of accomplishment with film because so many people are involved and it takes forever to complete a film…I am not that patient of a filmmaker.
Oh and I bought myself and my brother a new phone. It is my new best friend:

What can I say…I’m busier than I could ever have imagined!
I will say that the end of the summer has revealed a few important things about my life.
I’m absolutely desolate without music! I recently left my bro’s ipod at home while at work I spent about 2 bereaved hours creating the following playlist (notice the tone of the playlist):
My interpol-inspired playlist…”Thank God for the Specialist”
Secondly I cannot work either at home or at work unless there is some organization…thanks to this website my life makes more sense.
And lastly I was starved for inspiration. All summer I didn’t write anything, no short stories. No new script ideas. I was just a void. BUT that all changed thanks to the following book:
Seriously, if it hadn’t been for Rhett Butler and Scarlett O’Hara’s “passion for living” I would have never picked up a pen again. Well maybe that’s an exaggeration but I now have the seeds to a great story.
And something about reading this book and feel absolutely frustrated by it, I had that moment when I felt sure that human nature could make for a better storyline.
*Did that make sense? Maybe I should ask my brother to edit my blogs? He’s a great editor.
Its funny I realized that my playlist (mentioned above) is a perfect blend of songs that make me dreamy. (sorry I’m listening to it while I type)
What a sad life it would be without Interpol…
I need to work on my zombie movie series. I did one short…which will eventually make it on the internet when I have a moment to myself. But I have ideas for a series of films…its just a matter of having the right playlist and a working computer! I have one but not the other.

For the kiddies:
I love the work that was put into this. How can you not feel envious for the little tot that runs his hands over that embroidery. Although I have a tiny fear that most growing children have enough strength in their appendages to destroy cloth. But I digress.
Here is some inspiration from an epic artist I adore her attention to detail:
A new horizon of embroidery projects:
Anyhow I just saw this one thanks to Craftzine, whoever made it is a genius. My mom would love this cake, me not so much.

I’m always the last one to know about these things…I’m no longer a movie nerd who keeps up to date with all the movie news but here goes, the best trailers I’ve seen all day:
Although this one fulfills my morbid fascination:
My birthdays usually come and go with very little much to say other than I got some sleep. I truly doubt that this year will be any different because at the end of the day…I want more sleep.
I did however find something that I want more than sleep. I won’t cry if I don’t get it but I will always want this bag

I’ve been working on creating a plushie/teddy bear. My intent was to create the bear for a friend but since its still in its infancy I might decide to hold onto since it would be my first actual plush creation.
Anyhow the little beast is all white…about 1ft to 2ft long (or tall). It wouldn’t really be functional for a child…well I just feel like most parents would stray away from a white toy because of the desire to keep it clean. Besides I worry about how this bear would fare in a washer/dryer.
I finally decided to create hand embroidered facial features (child safety comes first) but it is slow going and I think the face looks odd. I will post pictures in a day or two. I love creating embroidery so I think I will fashion more eyes (keep on practicing) but I just came across a great bear/bee, from Lovesandasandwhich’s photostream on Flicker, that has the cutest eyes I’ve seen today!
I am thinking of trying to emulate that with embroidery floss instead of felt!
There is always more to find and discover about the amazing creative people out there in this world:

Doctor Venture…Mrs. Monarch, Brock, Triana, Dr. O and the polite pervert Sgt. Hatred. So far the episodes have been amusing and I am usually left gaping at the TV screen.

I miss toiling away the hours working on my embroidery. I became obsessed with learning new stitching but then a couple of weeks ago when I had some down time I just sat with the hoop in hand completely stumped. It was like a writers block…I stared at the stretch of canvas like an idiot without a thought in the world as to what to do with my thread.
I love creating things on the fly, I usually craft without a pattern in mind. Free hand has its price. Right now its been three long weeks since I’ve been inspired to do anything with my gorgeous embroidery thread…until today that is!
Just saw this on Craftster!!!
Beetastic did a great job and she totally inspired me. I think tonight I will give a cupcake a try and see where the night takes me!
