Day 1: first step is the hardest

And so it begins. Today's instructions from the book say: "The first step is the hardest, so start small today and make something that fits in the palm of your hand using only the materials in your immediate environment."

So I've been attempting to make creepy amigurumi dolls, but I had to start out reminding myself of the basics of crocheting. The first couple of attempts of the doll's head were horrible, but as I was sitting here, starting small today, I noticed one of the flubs I made sort of looks like a mouse. *boom* crochet mouse can fit in the palm of my hand.

Now I knew one dinky, sort of a mouse would look stupid, so i added a post-it ear with a thumb tac and put one of my (MANY) lucky cat statues behind him. Added a cartoony "YIKES!", and there was my first creation:

TA-DA! Yes, it's cheesy. Yes, it was shot on my bed. Yes, it was super simple, but it's just day 1 :)
