Oh wow she is gorgeous!!! I love her so much!!! Yep there's a good few patterns for G4 Ponies, & PKW has one for Takaras, but I never found any for G1s, hence making my own. Mine took a week of painstaking trial, error, frogging & redoing, measuring, & other bits to get done, & the second one took the same time, but only because 1/ she needed wings which I had to add, & 2/ her hair was tinsel yarn, very sparkly but working with it was a pain. But I'm happy with the results. And as a fellow crocheter, I congratulate you on your hard work, which is what making this looks like it was, even with the pattern to guide you!!! One other thing: your eyes look amazing!!! Did you embroider them??? They look embroidered, & that in itself is a time-consuming process. I'm not a safety eye fan, but boy does the embroidery take time to do!!! It does result in a safer, more secure eye though. Same with symbols where needed.

More done!!! I have FINISHED the second glove, but not the hat yet. Doing more work on two other scarves to get them out of the way & done; one of those is almost finished!!! I MISSED the aurora viewings last night, apparently everybody in the northern hemisphere including UK, northern Europe, northern USA, Canada, etc could see it & it was all over every Discord server!!! I made the noisy coffee & it was good fun again. I had a go at making veggie nuggets & they turned out well. The mix was so sticky but well worth the hassle!!! With all the veg & the chickpeas & the mash, the nuggets were effectively a full meal!!! Nine of them had me utterly stuffed full!!! So the rest are in portions of six, with the last of them spicy (chilli powder added to the mix & chilli flakes to the breadcrumbs). Today I need to do dishes & make bread & pizza... Going to be fun...

Sleep has been all over the place, AGAIN!!! It's annoying & makes me late for things/ miss things. At least I got the card out on Monday, & some packages arriving on Tuesday meant I made coffee on Tuesday. After coffee I went into town for a few bits. Town was up & down. Up in the sense of I found the PERFECT size of loaf tin!!! Down in the sense of one of my fave shops being shut until Saturday. Up in the sense of the tasty cheesecake I ate!!! Down in the sense of the freezer at Tesco. Up in the sense of the lift I got home!!! Got some needed stuff & some fun stuff & had a relatively good day. And I'm on the knitting & crochet. I'm nearly done a hat, so sorting the yarn to get it finished & still make the second fingerless glove. I think I've done it just about, & have a couple more integrations to do before starting its scarf. Glove started on, & so far it looks matching...
BC, Frostbite, ridiculous postage costs are the bane of everybody's life!!!

I wanted to check out frozen veg & get my fave frozen veggieburgers from Tesco. Some hope: the vegetable & vegetarian freezer was broken until the end of the week!!!. So I got some chilled veggieburgers instead & missed out on frozen veggies!!!

I think the Furbobs count. I want them too!
I'd love toys of the cartoon characters like Knight Shade, the witches, Tirac, the bees (I would kill for a Sting toy!), etc. Definitely a missed opportunity there.
DEFFO Furbobs!!! I think this says enough about how much I want Knightshade!!! visitors can't see pics , please register or loginTirac would have been awesome!!!! Witch dolls too

BC: TACO-TASTIC!!!
I don't react well to wool so I avoid 100% wool where I can. Same with mohair, & angora has its own issues. So that chops the hand-dyed wool off my list as if I can't work with it comfortably, there's no point. There are some wool/acrylic blends I can work with, where the wool content is 20% or so, & they're not nearly so bad. I got to noisy coffee & it was fun as usual. Afterwards more work on the knitting & crochet. The fox yarn isn't here yet but hopefully soon...

Laundry, check!!! Just need to hang out the socks. Shower, check!!! Coffee, check!!! And was a pal's birthday too Craft group, check!!! Though I was in a bit of a rush so forgot the phone!!! But I wouldn't have had time as a pal had an announcement Not-so-check: my sleep schedule. It wonked again Major check: my loot is back in order, so I ordered some fun stuff off eBay & from a pal, as well as yarn for a project for my bd coffee pal. Why are there so many gorgeous yarn colours???

It's the kind of temp where it's too hot with heating on but still a bit too cold with it off. So it's off & if I get cold I'll put on the knitting I've done for myself
