Tali Crochet Doll - Mass Effect

I just finished playing Mass Effect (the first one) and Tali'Zorah nar Rayya is definitely my favorite romantic interest. As a result, I made a Tali doll over the weekend. Most of her clothes are hot glued on since my hand hurt too much after crocheting the doll so fast to hold a needle straight. Progress pictures on the bottom.

Made her a mini boot knife

Mask On

Removable mask

Here are some progress pictures

Head! And the start of the body (it starts at the feet)

The legs and bodies are crocheted in one piece

Attaching head to body. I used bamboo skewers to support the head

Arms attached! I used a piece of yarn for the "tube" on her arm

Waiting for the paint to dry

Most of the straps are made from felt

1st Kyudo Class

I started kyudo (Japanese archery) today! The dojo is very beautiful, the people are easy going and the style is very traditional. It felt almost like a dance class!

Carbon fiber bows. Sensei has bamboo ones too

I like the different prints on the grip of the bow

Arrows and a quiver

28 meters to target

Path to the dojo

Emma loves pets while we get ready for class

Bento #27

Spam, cucumber and carror sushi...I guess it's not that bad considering I still don't have a sushi mat to roll them with...

Bento #26

First day of summer internship today! I am super excited to meet friends and new people!

Today's Bento includes:
Teal (yay more food dyes!) onigiri stuffed with sardines with a light dust of furikake
Diced apples

I'm trying not to bring too much food as I'm on a don't-stuff-my-face-in-front-of-strangers-on-the-first-day diet...

Close up of the onigiri!

Drinking my Greens

I don't think it surprises anyone that I hate vegetables. I got a blender and turned this:

Banana, Carrot, Spinach, Broccoli and Celery

into this:

It tastes horrible. It's not bland at all but it does taste like I'm drinking green (not red!) vegetable. I'm going to try it again with more bananas and more milk...blah!

Crochet Bunny

I started this out following a pattern but kept on losing count because I was crocheting it during down time at work. The ears have wires in them to keep shape.

This is where I stopped following a pattern

Made this for a friend! Jiji comes with a removable bow!
