I finally got this… whatever, cold thing that I have been fighting for weeks. I’m actually a bit relieved as now the worst is over and I feel like I’m on the road to recovery. I wish it hadn’t taken this long to get and get over, but, at least it’s happening now.
Over the last couple of days I have been having fun on the internet researching all these great things I intend to post about. Links to awesome tutorials, knitting/crocheting patterns and stuff. But I just haven’t gotten it together. I mean, I open up 20 windows and make plans to blog about them in the evening, but it just doesn’t seem to happen.
After Halloween I looked into information about making Klingon costumes, you know, like the good ones? Found some amazing pages, one of which gives you a full tutorial on how to make a wig with forehead ridges! It’s so amazing (just about as good as the tutorial I found about making Ferengi face/lobes). Just awesome. The guy also gives you a bit of a tutorial on how to make the costume. Seriously cool stuff. But, then I’m a bit of a freak, so maybe it’s just cool to me. While researching Klingon costumes I of course had to check out what people were selling on the market. It made me gag. I would possibly by a Starfleet uniform if I wanted something like that, but the Klingons… well, there is just no honor in wearing those dorky things. Yeah, that’s one I’ll skip… forever. If your going to dress up like a Klingon, I say really do it and make it honorable. And while your at it make yourself a Bat’leth to go with it.
I also got really into the idea of crocheting some little gift bags to wrap things in for Christmas. So I started researching patterns. I like to knit for a lot of things, but some things just seem easier to crochet. I like the look of a granny square bag and it’s so easy to make I don’t even have to think. Eventually I’ll get some patterns up here for you all to enjoy.
Until such a time as I actually have the motivation to get one of these great posts up, I guess I have to just leave you with a teaser of what is to come. I have hungry and cold kids that just came in, dinner to make and dishes to wash. Fortunately for me I got a nap and a chiropractor adjustment today, so hopefully these things should take to much time and energy.
