I'm making a menagerie

I've named him Cecil. He's just a baby (harp seal).

Perfectly precious little pachyderm

Her name is Luca and, YES(!), technically she does live on the second floor.

There goes that

*Pfffffffft*

Guess who didn't get to finish her latest favorite project.

(Poor little pachyderm! It's tough to be body-less.)

*sigh*

Spring Break was fun while it lasted. Three day weekend coming up. Woo-hooo!!!!

Quitters never win

It's so bittersweet being done with this finally. I've been working on this none stop for almost four straight days and now that it's done it's completely weird not to be ripping things out and starting over again, again, and again, and again.

I worked from a heavily modified pattern. This is not because I tried to do it that way but because (part way through) I got fed up with following the pattern and just went completely off on my own. Amazing that my own stubbornness didn't inhibit me being able to finish it.
