NaPoWriMo update

Real life got in the way of the internets lately, so I've been scribbling my NaPoWriMos in a notebook. I'll post them as soon as I come home from work this afternoon.

NaPoWriMo *1st April 2010*

Not content with writing a novel in 30 days, I've now signed up to NaPoWriMo. I think I will probably have to stop sleeping to fit everything in this month!

Here's my first one. My Mam asked me to write her a haiku about snowdrops.

Small, perfect white buds
scattered like beads, whispering
through the winter grass.

Softies update

Had a great day charity shopping. I got: a red fleece, eight ties, and a book I'd been looking for for ages.
I then spent ALL weekend making softies. I'll post pictures of them soon, but 'til then, here's what I made.
Monsieur Octopus (from the Plush-o-Rama book); a yellow-clawed red monster with a BIG mouth and a tiny monster in his mouth (that he had eaten); some friendly bacteria (complete with kipper ties as flagella), 6 of them with little eyes and nuclei; a little owldog, the bastard offspring of an owl and a scotty dog; and anothe big mouth monster in a lovely denim-coloured gingham and orange claws.
What a busy little sewing bee I have been.
