Now this is why I should never commit to such long term projects. Its been 18 days since my last confession. Damn you Helen, now I have to make something in my life appear interesting.

I spent the weekend with a friend trying to find a tattoo artist in Perth, and have booked in at Unique Tattoo's in Subiaco. There is a month wait till my first appointment but its worth it. The studio is really nice, good atmosphere, and the staff were friendly and professional, unlike some places we went to. I have finalised my design, Im going to take it in this week and discuss it with Hank, just finishing the colouring now.

It needs a few changes, like the feather on its head, a bit wonky, but as they will redraw it I think I will let them take care of that bit.

Finally my sister is off night shift, so I can move about the house at day time without fear of waking the troll under the bridge. Also I got Harry Potter from her cave for some photographs.

Im pretty happy with the way he turned out, although the sleeve ends need a bit of work and his scarf could be better. Meagan carried him around all Christmas day introducing him to various people. And yes, she is 26, not 6. Pattern from darncatcrochet.

I have been busy (avoiding pun's here) with my bee's the last few days. Ive pretty much got the pattern sorted out now, although you will notice some of them are a bit different.



I have a few more to finish off, I have run out of yellow wool which I had in my stash from an op shop years ago. I have begun making octopus men now. Hopefully the kids at RPH approve

One good thing about Helen's insistence that I blog is getting out the camera again. Im using my sisters for now, but if Im going to justify buying myself a DSLR in the near future this is a good way to get back into it.
