Crazed Christmas is Coming!

So these past few months have been non-eventful since I got sick and remained off work and am finally going back.
And I know I haven't been posting anything; it's not like I did nothing while home ridden.
My hands since day one were screaming at me to keep myself sane and do more projects with my crochet. And of course, with no sound mind to count on, I accepted the crazy challenge my hands encouraged me to set upon.

Surprisingly, I was able to finish 5 projects all of which are for Christmas. Two of them were commissions, and one of those was a simple remake of Ash that I had done for the fiancee's uncle. The rest were for my family and friend/room mate. And to explain why I was surprised at this; normally a project, depending on it's detail, hair, etc, can take around 3 weeks to a month to make. I made FIVE! ZERO FIVE! In about 2 months.

EDIT... I actually made 6, but the 6th one is wrapped already...
RE: EDIT.... 7 if you include the thing I made personally online and had shipped...

(For obvious purposes, I've blanked out the two that are going to family that know how to get to this blog....nice try suckers!)

I've even started a recent one, Princess Peach, and have planned a room dedicated to Super Mario Bros. but will call it the "You're just like Zelda" room. Why the name? Because I'm making the room full of the castle enemies like the small Boo's, and the Thwomps, etc. Once I start I will be sure to post photos.

Other than all that, I'm poor. The new meds they have me on cost $99.70 a month!!! So needless to say, Christmas this year is being made....and they are all going to like it! I've been going crazy worrying if they'll like them, do the projects have enough detail, am I missing something, WELL TOUGH! If they don't like it they can suck it! :P

EDIT... not literally, it's just something I say...

I just hope I'm not going more crazy than I already am to make these things in time and have them all look and act like 5 year old's getting underwear for Christmas instead of that cool looking remote control car or that new ....*gag*.... Barbie.
