Monkey Mascot Mostly Made

It may not look like it yet, but this weird flat looking thing will soon be a monkey!
I have spent all of Knitting and Crochet Blog Week so far working on my monkey mascot. I haven't had a chance to stuff him yet, but once I do, he will accompany me through the rest of my Knitting and Crochet Blog Week. Tomorrow me and my monkey will work on our infograph. I think I will try to do one about yarnbombing.

I decided to make the monkey mascot in the colors that Eskimimi has in the pictures of the different houses. I saw them as Blue(ish), white and yellow. So I tried to incorporate that into the theme of making my mascot.

Once Knitting and Crochet Blog Week is over, I will yarn bomb my mascot friend somewhere where he will be enjoyed by people. Perhaps that can be my extra credit assignment.

I hope you all enjoy my attempt at a monkey mascot.

Beacon hill Tree earrings

I wanted to do a fancy, lacey tag for my friends fantastic new bike.
But needless to say, I don't know how XD
I will keep trying at it, but my attempt fell somewhat short of what I was hoping to do.
So instead of being upset that it didn't work out, I attached them to a tree in beacon hill park.

I think they are a subtle contribution to the loveliness that is the park. So subtle you can barely see them.

I love being there, with all the ponds, and ducks, and geese, and peacocks and squirrels XD
I hope they all enjoy my lil tag.
Today was just such an awesome day.
Enjoy!

Super Tree

Don't mind me.
I may be slightly intoxicated while writing this. That's ok. I was mostly intoxicated while finishing up this tag today anyways.
Today, my two friends and I went and hung out in the park to celebrate the fact that I had my final today. Whoo! No more biology... for now anyways.

While we were hanging out, I finished up my tag, found a perfect tree and placed said tag.

As soon as it was up, both my friends were like "super tree".

I too thought it was fitting.
They asked me why I decided to put it on that particular tree in that particular location. I said it was the best tree around that fit. The others were either too big or too small. My one friend said that it was serendipitous. I like that it can be seen from the various paths, yet is hidden in the trees to a large extent.

Sorry for the lack of posts as of late. It has been a busy month.
This monday is my birthday, so I don't know when the next time I will tag is.
But at least I have a couple new pieces finished to put up.
... I just have to put them out in the world...

Enjoy!

re up

I do have a new tag post that I will put up shortly. I am trying to sort out some internet stuff on the side.
In the mean time though, I have this for you!

Yes yes, you have seen this one before.

Funny story.

So obviously, I put this one up at least a month back. And I never went back to check on it. My gf said it wasn't there anymore when she went by a while afterwards.

So I was wandering around over there the other day, noticed it wasn't there, but that's when I noticed it was on the ground. Someone had just cut what was attaching it to the pole, but not the actual tag itself.

Of course, I grabbed it and simply reattached it. It was a little dirty from being in the leaves and bramble and such, but it still looks great. I dusted it off a bit before reattaching it.

Hopefully it stays up there a bit longer, but I am sure I can play this game with whoever as long as they want to play.

Enjoy! I'm off to the book fair!
