Etsy's Facebook!
Zomgz! So it seems like I walked into work today with a pleasant surprise to several Etsy Convo's about how my Cup O'Water is currently being featured on Etsy's Facebook page! Woot!! Now while I'm totally shocked, honored, excited, and happy that this has happened....I am also utterly embarrassed that I let my blog and Etsy shop kind of dwindle. So to all the new visitors: HAI! I'm sorry there is nothing new in the past few months, and I'll try to get my geek on!

The Mrs. Methane Version 2
Long time no blog!
It's been quite a busy month already as I have started a new job and don't have so much time for crocheting and things are getting bought up on Etsy. I really do have to keep it up!
Here's some old stuff:
I wasn't so sure about sticking with the original models of methane and tried a ball and stick form. But after making it, I realized how much easier it is to stay with with the original. It saves me about 30 min of assembly time and i think the other ones are cuter.
Since the molecules are doing quite well, I think I'll try to be sticking to it. I've been working on holiday editions! I'll try to get back to a bit of regular posting. Stay tuned!

I've been AFK
I must have been too busy/uninspired the past month or so, but I know I've been neglecting and been away from this blog much longer than I would like. But I have excuses: The summer here in Chicago has been too good and I'm usually out and about instead of at home crocheting; I've been busy cleaning and preparing our house for the tons of guests we had; and....my cat ate my yarn! Ok, so the last one isnt true, but falls in the category of excuses =)
Im back to crocheting and my DNA is looking pretty good. I can't wait to get it picture ready! Murlocs aren't coming out so well, we'll have to tweak it. Mr. Met head is done, but wondering about the body, and the Mets season is not at all helping to keep me inspired.

Extended Weekend Project: Happy Birthday T!
It was my friend's birthday last weekend and I was working hard to finish a project...which didn't really get done until today. Sorry T! But it's finally done and I have to say I really like it! She had asked me one day, jokingly, to make her an angel-devil type thing at which I thought, "that's probly the oddest thing I can do." But knowing it was her birthday coming up, I took a shot at it and it materialized into a really cute angel/devil:
I started her out with her body and slapped on some wings and horns and attempted to do some hair, which came out pretty cute! I thought she could look more angelic with a white dress, but then realized she looked too angelic, and made an awesome removable devil's cape, which kind of reminds me of a dracula cape (vampire amigurumi is coming!). The cape comes off and around the wings, which I thought is a super cute detail. The pictures don't really show the gold detailing of the halo and pitchfork, but it's there! I saw this yarn at Loopy Yarns and thought it would be perfect for a devilish halo!
Hope you like it!

A Spoonful of Vinegar
Hopefully everyone had as tasty a July 4th as I did. It was packed full of wonderful friends, barbecue and oh so tasty ribs at the annual Naperville ribfest! There's no doubt about it, the Pigfoot stand always steals the show! And now for some vinegar:
This one annoyed me too much. There was no way I could show a double bond in a cute fashion so it really just looks like a normal one (omg faux pas!) and hopefully the positioning of it is enough. And the steric hindrance is bothersome, but I thought it would look like a more cohesive smile-y molecule to make it extremely non-energy efficient. *sigh* No one said crocheted chemistry was easy.

CH3CH2OH aka Ethanol
Some more molecular cuteness. This is what's floating in your alcoholic beverage:
Its quite annoying to make sure the bonding angles are at least slightly accurate and positioning atoms to make sure it can sit in a cute way. It's not quite equatorial, but I tried my best, and at least it looks like a dancing ethanol!
