Procrastination Update: All the cute things!

This post is to make up for the previously failed "Lipstick Week" post, I only lasted 4 days of lipstick in that week...

I'll start my redemption by posting the Scottish cousin of Boris the Wolf; say hello to Hadrig the Fox!

He is based on the same crochet pattern as Boris, with larger ears and additional whiskers, and of course, orange in colour.

 Hanging (like my pun?) with Kurosuke (Studio Ghibli Sootball) as the guardians of the TV. 

Hope you're ready for more "Awwwwwww"s! This is what happens when you led your husband off the leash while you're trying to buy a lipstick... The review of this amazing lipstick can be found here.

Deadpool and Groot Bobble Heads <3

Being a die-hard Deadpool fan, hubby just had to buy him to go with our Deadpool Smorking Labbit (yes, that is the correct spelling of this brand of toys). At least the colours of these two match, they both have red and black...

Anyway, these should be enough for your daily "Awwww" dosage, if not, here's a link to more on Reddit. :p

Finally, a celebratory photo of my Ph.D graduation! ^^ Think it still counts as an "Awwww"moment.

Just some extra information that no one else cares about; The University of Sydney DOES NOT have a floppy Ph.D hat! So the only way to tell you apart from dodgy undergrads is the colour of the red hood, I got totally shafted! :( Can you see how the colour scheme of this post has translated throughout? The colour of foxes is called red, even though it is clearly not red, and Kurosuke is black, duh!

Crochet Project: Boris The Wolf

This month's obligatory post is another craft related entry, but the end result this time is much Cuter! This little cutie was requested by a friend for her work related agenda, and she purchased the pattern on Etsy from this extremely creative seller. I'm very please to let you know that this post is going to be short and sweet, unlike the previous wishy washy essay-like posts. =P

I have made some variations to the final product, but the crochet pattern remained the same.

Sitting on the scratching post, invading the cat's territory!

The most obvious difference is the colour scheme; I used white, light grey and black for a less intimidating appearance (imo anyway) instead of the original colour choices.

Awwwwww!! Too cute not to be squished!

Oh the googly eyes! Bigger eyes always make things look cuter, or alien-like if they get tooooo big. This is natural selection at its best! #notbabycrazy

Auditioning for Saturday Night Fever with just the right amount of Boogie!

You think the ears look too small? Wolves actually don't have huge, stand up ears like German shepherds! Maybe the big, bad wolf in the Little Red Riding Hood, but this baby definitely doesn't need them!

Oh yeah, his head is also slightly crooked... Well adds to the derpiness, I guess?

Just to babble on like I always do, I absolutely adore wolves! They are my favourite animal and majestic as fuck! I would even move to Alaska or Canada just to be near them. Of course, they are no pets and wild at heart, but it'd be nice to have a wolf-dog hybrid as a pet. There aren't many documentaries or books on the interactions between human and wolves, but the ones out there are definitely heart-warming and soul touching. Here's a National Geographic article on A Wolf Named Romeo for a different view on this beautiful animal.

Obligatory cat photos nevertheless, don't think the cats liked their limelight taken away from them!

Ossi's "Don't Give A Fuck!" face and trying to push Boris off his pedestal.

Here's a wolf on a cat on a computer chair! Where am I suppose to sit?
