Blue but Not Sad


It's been a while since I've posted from the heart...
This dear fellow pictured above is a present for the baby my dear friend Sylvia, is about to have. It is my first attempt at a stuffed animal of any kind and I have to say, I'm kinda sad to see him go. He sits proudly at 12" tall and was crocheted out of super soft Lion's Brand acrylic "mohair" yarn...the funny thing is, I think I'm allergic to him. As his body came to a close (literally) my eyes started to itch like no tomorrow! Alas, I couldn't leave him limbless so I suffered through to the end.
Just this evening I initialed his rear with a little HM for HannahMade and packaged him up for his special delivery tomorrow afternoon.

So farewell Blue...

Don't worry, I'll visit often.
For those of you who think I'm crazy....wait 'til you see my Swarovski crystal endeavor!

Tag, I'm it!

From ShandyKing to Michelle Caplan to me...so here it goes, 5 things that make me more interesting (if you can imagine!) :)

1. My real name is Hannah-Childe. Yes they were hippies.

2. One time I peed in public (not on a camping trip). Sorry! It was Halloween and I was lost in Silverlake, what do you want from my life????

3. I'm a math geek...when I was in 3rd grade we could do math crosswords for extra credit and I finished a semester's worth in one week! and I was in the Knowledge Bowl in High School competing in math.

4. When I was in 6th grade I ran the 1/4 mile in track. I was about to beat Max Bigelow in a race and missed my moment of glory when I collapsed from an asthma attack about 15 yards from the finish line. It's ok...I think it's funny too. Now.

Last but not least
5. I LOVE brussel sprouts!!!

I will be back when I find the next 5 victims :)
