  So... I finished the filet crochet of the skull and attached it to the book by chains. It's so metaphorical, isn't it? It still takes me a long time to crochet the design and I'm not sure I have the patience to do it for larger books. Still, I don't want to give up on the idea. I love the mixture of the thread and the paper. Hmm... we'll see.

Yesterday I went on Google image search to find a cross stitch pattern that I could modify for a filet crocheted skull. While working on it in four different places (oh wait - only three - work, couch, bed) I came up with this. Perhaps it would be better to not cart it all around creation. I ended up decreasing accidentally and having to make up for it weirdly. Dunno, maybe that's all part of the charm. It's 9:15am and I have to leave for work in fifteen minutes. Guess who's not ready?!!! Off I go for my last week at the Rathbun branch. As of next Tuesday, I'll be at the Northeast library - only a mile from my house! It's a lovely place with great memories, but it is hard to leave a place like the Bun that I love so much... I'm so glad that Heaven is real and I'll get to be with all my friends there. Or in Hell, if we all go there. :)

Filet crochet sounds soooo fancy, but it's actually very simple and right up my alley - being made with grids and all. This is my first attempt and I know exactly what I want to try next. It will involve skulls and books. Oh, my life is so good. Curse work and how much of my time it takes! (Bless work and how it pays for my house, car and food!)
