Holiday Party, Once Again?

I just got a message from Steph on Facebook.

She's willing to host the holiday party.
And I'm willing to plan it.

Altho I don't want to bother w/ the gift exchange, so someone will have to volunteer to organize it... or we'll just draw names or something.

And there aren't a lot of dates to choose from.
Dec 19 (Sat), Dec 20 (Sun), Dec 26 (Sat), Dec 27 (Sun), Jan 2 (Sat), Jan 3 (Sun)...

I heard Ards has 3 frozen turkeys in their freezer.
At least we don't have to worry about food *laugh*

Feet Turning Purple

I guess there was plenty of internal bleeding when I broke my foot... and all the blood is draining down to my feet.

So my foot is purple.

See exhibit A:


I sure hope this is normal... cuz my next doctor's appointment isn't until next week.

Crochet Time: Elephant, Attempt 1

I attempted making an elephant amigurumi.

Here is the final look (without beady eyes):


The head didn't come out as round as it's supposed to.

And I wasn't paying attention to how tight/loose I was crocheting the legs, so all of the legs are different sizes. I put the bigger ones in front & smaller ones in back, so the elephant would lean back.

This is my first attempt, so I'll work on tightening stitches where I need to... and loosen where I need to (altho it's probably best to make them all even).

I thought sewing the pieces together would be hard, but I somehow managed... I have a semi-made purse that I haven't figured out how to attach the straps, so I'll try that tomorrow.
