It's kind of a long story. It starts with me being a bad aunt. It ends with me having oodles of time last week. (Two words: student teacher.)
Anyway, I've made four bodies, and now it's time to make tentacles. I've made thirteen already...
Which is a good start. There are eight tentacles per jellyfish. I'm making four jellyfish. 8 x 4 = 32.
32 - 13 = 19.
Nineteen more tentacles to go...
Deep sigh. Why did I start this again? Oh, right. I've missed all my nephews' birthdays. Bad aunt.
Your jellyfish are really cool. Glad you're making them again.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Alex. As for being a bad aunt, I have a blackbelt in that. ~shakes head~ I have eleven nieces and nephews for which we've done little for many years. Just couldn't afford oodles of gifts after a while. And we haven't attended a single graduation because I didn't want to start a trend or let one kid down over another. Attending my husband's college graduation was the last one for me. Anyway, forgive my rambling. ~grin~ Take care!
ReplyDeleteThey live out of state for me now, so I highly doubt I'll be making their graduations.
DeleteWe live hours away, too. That added to the reasons not to go.
DeleteAs for my silly rant, you made interesting points. Regarding my gym membership, weight lifting at least once a week, which I maintain, is different from other exercise. And it forces me out into the world, a necessary healthful struggle. Thank you for the input, though. And be well!
Yeah, having weights would be reason enough for the gym membership.
DeleteYou are not a bad aunt! Sometimes life gets in the way and we miss things. I bet they still love you :)
ReplyDeletebetty
You are not a bad aunt, and those jellyfish are cool
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteHi Liz - I love your jellyfish ... they're fun ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteThe jellyfish are the best, though! Almost there. Almost there :)
ReplyDeleteI love your jellyfish!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteYour dedicated and passionate about your work. The jellyfish fans love you for it!
ReplyDeleteThey'll love the jellyfish so you're not a bad aunt *hugs*
ReplyDeleteThey may. They may not. Time will tell.
DeleteI love your jellyfish so looking forward to seeing them. You are not a bad aunt and they will love their gifts
ReplyDeleteThanks. We'll see how they react.
DeleteGosh, they're cute. You're a fun auntie.
ReplyDeleteHow awesome and fun for you and for them!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteOne thing I am not is an aunt. I'm an only child and,within my husband's family, I'm the only one with a child. That also means my son has no first cousins. So I will never be a bad aunt - take it as you will. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI know the whole no-first-cousin thing first-hand. (I have quasi first cousins--they have "half" and "step" qualifiers.)
DeleteThose look like party streamers without the bodies! I love those colors! :)
ReplyDeleteSorry you missed all of your nephews birthdays. I'm not good at remembering birthdays either. :-/
Oh, I remembered them. I just didn't send them gifts.
DeleteYou look like you have been really busy with your yarn and works. Great jobs. I still have not gotten started on the blanket for my nieces baby but I have till Oct....crap, I need to start! haha
ReplyDeleteAfghan? Yeah, better get cracking on it.
DeleteYour nephews didn’t even have birthday parties this year - so who’s a bad mom? - the Jellyfish will rock and the boys will be utterly thrilled!
ReplyDeleteJust put on a good show on Netflix and go at it. You'll be done in no time. ;)
ReplyDeleteFirst must get Netflix... ;)
DeleteLove the tentacles. I spied an orchid over the weekend that sort of had tentacle-like petals. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteOooh. Now I'm wondering if there is an amigurumi pattern for orchids...
DeleteJellyfish - what a fun idea.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors! You're making them something, I think that keeps you out of "bad aunt" territory.
ReplyDeleteOnly if I was doing it in a timely manner, I think.
