FO: Crochet Despicable Me Minion Hat

For son's girlfriend. He later claimed it for himself.

Crochet Storm Trooper Hat Done!

From Misc.

Finished it without a pattern. I saw a few hats around the net and just sort of made it. The left lense is not at nice as the right one. I hope that I can fix it before it's given away to its intended recipient.

The Lord Jesus Christ be with you and bless you.

What Happens When You Remove the Bible (1776)

 

"By removing the Bible from schools we would be wasting so much time and money in punishing criminals and so little pains to prevent crime. Take the Bible out of our schools and there would be an explosion in crime."

— Benjamin Rush, elected to Continental Congress in 1776

Break...FO: R2D2 and a WIM: Link

I have an FO (Finished Object) although it's incomplete in the picture:
It's not my best work, I made this in less than 2 days, and I worked those days and took care of the family. Still, not so bad, not so bad! The recepient is a 10 year-old Star Wars fan, so I made him this R2D2 hat. Here it's missing a few more appliques.

My WIM (Work-in-Mind) is Link:

You can find the pattern here: http://tanoshimou.wordpress.com/2010/05/27/link-legend-of-zelda-amigurumi-free-pattern/

My son likes this game a lot, at least, he used to, and said he would hang one on his backpack if I made it for him. Well, that was months, maybe more than a year ago. I rediscovered this pattern and have the yarn. I just might. Well, I gathered the yarn, despite having UFO's around. Sometimes I can't help myself!

He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord;

and that which he hath given will he pay him again.
-Proverbs 19:17

On The First Amendment...

“To those who cite the First Amendment as reason for excluding God from more and more of our institutions and every-day life, may I just say: The First Amendment of the Constitution was not written to protect the people of this country from religious values; it was written to protect religious values from government tyranny.”

— Ronald Reagan, March 15, 1982,

in an address to the Alabama State Legislature

I Can Crochet...

 

I can't sew. Not really. Even putting a ribbon on a dress is distressing, no pun intended. I have been here, close to half an hour, trying to "sew" this ribbon on straight to this dress, and this is all I've been able to do. I'm already perspiring (ladies don't sweat) and am feeling somewhat anxious. There is so much more to do and then I have to sew on the flower! And a bow!

!!

It must be The Monday Curse. At least, I choose to blame Monday for this. If it were Tuesday, then it would be Tuesday's fault. I feel like packing everything up and just sending as is to the new mother. I suppose it wouldn't be far, because, to my knowledge, she can't sew either. Nor can she crochet.

I'm going to eat some lunch and see if I can tackle this thing properly later on today.
