I've finished my Tachikoma amigurumi from Ghost in the Shell: Stand-Alone Complex! Note that it's based off the silhouette of a spider, or a bug in general, so if that's not your thing, please keep that in mind prior to clicking the link!

It was a long time going, at least 7 months, and I'm so glad to have finished it.

I posted about this a year or so ago on tumblr, but I think revisiting the topic here might be a good idea as well.

I'm considering doing a one-piece crochet doll more in the style of a fashion doll (e.g., more like a 1/6 scale kind of doll), rather than a "chibi" style I've been attempting for the last few years. I'm hoping to try seamed or wooden bead joints, as well.

I think I'd have to sketch out the idea before actually crocheting it, though.

I have almost finished up the years-long knitting and crochet projects I'd started at various points in the past few years. ...That sentence makes no sense. Argh. Anyway!

I've had three separate projects with which I'd hit a wall: 1) the knit blue 100% wool hat for the husband; 2) A purple crochet/amigurumi cat for kiddo; 3) an amigurumi version of a secondary character, Sailor Pallas, from Sailor Moon, for me. Over the last couple of months, I've finished both the cat for kiddo, and the Sailor Pallas amigurumi for me.

All that's left is the last inch or so of husband's knit hat... and it is taking so long for me to finish, augh. But! I refuse to start any more yarn and yarn- accessories related things until I'm done-done with prior projects, dadgummit! :D

Today I had a little bit more driving practice, in that I drove about 40 miles (20 miles to, and 20 miles back home, with help from the husband and our kid, who's the most adorable backseat driver ever) in the rain. We went to a craft store, and I finally was able to get a picture frame for sending a family picture to my parents.

Also, I sucked it up and bought yarn for another set of future amigurumi projects. I have "too much" unused yarn, from my own admittance, and I do need to figure out a more effective way to make use of it for the projects intended. (Shrug emoji)

Working on making better choices, and being better attuned to the fluidity of life with other people around me (e.g., yes, right now is fun time, but also parenting time, and it's Okay for each to have its place alongside of each other). (Wiggles hands like a set of scales) Balance, balance!
