Days Off Make for Good Things...

Today I had the Nurse from 12-6pm and I welcomed the force-you-out-the-door, go-on-get-out-of-here shove I seem to need the last couple of months. I took some soup to my Aunt who is sick with fever at the moment and sat with her for a couple of hours then my little brother took me out for lunch in Box Hill for some Nasi Goreng.... OK it was seriously the BEST Nasi Goreng EVER! As we were walking around all the shops he said there was no need to go to Singapore because Box Hill seemed to be a small replica of it... Personally I'd still like to go to Singapore. All the Asian food is westernised here for our weird taste and I'm rather pissed off about that.

I then went to one of these huge-packed-to-the-hilt Asian supermarkets and bought all sorts of good things. Dried Chillies, Mushroom Soy, some hot curry paste, saffron, that pink dye they put on pork, ya know? Good things! The stuff you can't buy in hick towns like where I live.

Then I came home, threw on some stretchy pants and started to crochet... and look what I made....

I call him Pancake

Yes my very first Amigurumi... I saw this ages ago somewhere on the web and do you think I can find it again to get the pattern? NOOOOOOO... Do you think I remembered to bookmark it? Nooooo....  so I made it up. Now, I call him Pancake because of the Pancake rule... you know, throw the first one out because it's only to season the pan and never tastes right... yeah well Pancake here is riddled with mistakes but I have no pattern and in my life, it's a learn as you go kinda way... Say hello to Pancake, he's going to sit on my desk to remind me that perfect is in the eye of the beholder because I think Pancake is just perfect, crooked nose and all.

Well of course I know I should've reversed the colours..... NOW! But it's ok. I have 20 eyes to use yet, I'm sure I'll get the hang of it.
