(no subject)

So, even though I have been distracted by cats, owls, foxes, quails (or, at least, quail type things), paper, glue, fabric, and sewing thread, I am still working on the fairy tale things.

But I messed up the Little Mermaid, so I need to redo her. But I kind of near a break because, to be honest, I have been crocheting for nearly A YEAR, and not doing much else. And I think I need to give my right wrist a break because my thumb's been feeling numb. I'm generally sceptical about crochet causing carpal tunnel, but I'd rather give my wrist a rest than find out for sure (also going to check the symptoms of carpal tunnel to make sure they're what I think they are).

So I am drawing stuff, and sewing felt quails and...generally trying not to crochet.

I am also going to make some stuff out of salt dough. Don't know what yet (probably some more cats).

(When I related this sorry tale to my sister in law, she said I sounded particularly Welsh when I emphasised "year". I blame Eve Myles). (Also my mother is now convinced that I am giving up on crochet. She, of all the people in my life, should understand that it's hard to stick to one craft when all the others are so bloody interesting).

Been having some bloody weird dreams recently, including two about alternate worlds/dimensions. One was kind of like hell (except not), and the other was all birds. I don't want to know what that says about my subconscious.

Oh, and my paid account ran out two days ago, but I don't know whether I can be arsed to renew it right now or not (we'll see if I miss the privileges, huh? Though I'm not even sure I know what they were (apart from more icons than I'd actually use)).
