there really isn't anything worse than being sick...i spent pretty much the last couple days feeling feverish or coughing up a lung :(

I don't remember being sick being sooooo boring - staying home from work was so painfully dull. I don't know if its because I'm not that interested in watching daytime television (was i ever?) - anyway, after hours of xbox (and T remarking that maybe I should find a hobby that doesn't involve repetitive stress injury from playing viva pinata) I opted to do something more creative and crafty.

Long story short this is one of the things i made this weekend. i hand sewed a bunny, or at least tried to.

From far away its looks pretty cute (beside a starbucks double shot so you can scale how big it is)

But closer up....not so cute and well .... kind of defective looking ...one of his ears comes out from the middle of his head, and as Joe remarked, he has a moustache more than he has a mouth :( I dont know how I managed to sew so crookedly but I did...and once I had done a few stitches I didn't want to tear them out because I didn't want to sew the entire thing all over again. Hand sewing takes forevvvver (and clearly I am not a patient person) Who knew 'a little' crooked would result in 'a lot' defective?

I made a couple other ones (sheep, monkey) and they look equally ....defective.... but nonetheless I'm still proud of my first efforts (and not playing more xbox)

Anyway, I think I know where I went wrong, I'm going to try again with my revised design and see how it goes...
