I has the dumb...
It's funny how my brain works.
Like, last month when I was feeling super sick, I thought to myself: I know, I'll get replacements for myself at church, and then nobody will notice and won't wonder why I'm not there.
This went on for weeks, where I thought I was incognito.
Yeah.
People noticed.
And since my only reason for not going to church in the last four years we've lived here was because I was pregnant...well...let's just say they all connected the dots.
It happened again a few days ago.
I had a moral dilemma: Should I buy My Little Ponies for my kids for Christmas?
I mean, they are $25 a piece. And Jeremy wanted to get ALL of them if we were going to do it.
That's kinda steep for a stuffed, fictional animal.
I hemmed and hawed, and then finally thought, I know! I'll crochet them all!
Yeah.
That would take me forever.
And I don't like forever projects.
But I looked up all the patterns, and a good chunk of them were free, and that solved the money issue, but not the stress and time issue. I mean, I'd have to make six. And then Jeremy said he wanted one.
Seven.
Seven, crocheted My Little Ponies.
I was starting to feel myself turn inside out with anxiety.
Then I had another thought...
What if I SEWED them all??
There had to be patterns, right?
Yes, indeedy-do.
So, I found all the patterns, figured out how much it would cost for fabric, and felt pretty good about it.
Until I realized it would cost the same as buying them from Build-A-Bear.
But, in theory I could make two to three times as many ponies.
Because I really want to make 25 My Little Pony plushes.
Yeah. I bought the fabric and patterns. Because it made sense. Lots.
