Tuesday Tunes Anticipation

Only one more Tuesday tunes before the concert, I still have had some trouble finding some of the newer songs, so here are a couple of oldies but goodies.

Aya Matsuura Good bye Natsuo

I wish I had seen Matsuura live, too bad she graduated so many years ago, she was great. But this song is epic, and since no one can compare to Ayaya, I have doubts as to how good this could be sung by some of the newbies, but since it is sung by all I have hopes that it will be ok. This song is really hard to sing.

Usually sung by Petit Moni I had to show my favourite H!P group W singing it live. I am not sure this will be in the concert since they seem to change some songs, but this song is great live. Wahahaha

This song is so much fun!

A-Z Challenge W

W is for Wips or Wisps

If we follow my UFO reasoning I don't have many UFOs but I would have a ton of Wips and Wisps...

A Wip is a work in progress and a Wisp is a work in slow progress (which is why I think a UFO is something you have given up on rather than just something that isn't finished yet)

So would you like to see my ton of Wips and Wisps? Here are my crochet Wips and Wisps, a skirt, one afghan, three baby blankets and one lapghan. Maybelle squares that might turn into a blanket, a shawl that I am unsure if I still have the pattern for, one finished and one started mitt, and a scarf/shawl depending on how much yarn I have. All in all, not that many projects on the go, and I have finished some of my longer Wisps lately, like the baby bunny blanket. I have another wip though  that I didn't take a photo of which is Mister M's vest.

Not too many projects right? Some that are easily portable, some that require brainpower and some that is just a breeze to crochet, I usually do these when I have company over or when M and I watch TV.

So 11 wips and wisps, but I am not quite sure where it turns into a wisp, I think that the colourful lapghan might be my only real wisps as all the others have had a stitch or two added this year....

*

Then there are the cross stitch things I have found so far, there may be a couple of others....

Some small cards, some bigger things, mostly bunnies and some are presents that I want to finish. Frederick is on black aida so I have given up doing him when it is too dark, but here in this apartment I have lots of light so it might be time to take him forward in the pile, just need to finish some of those smaller ones first I think.

16 cross stitches, and I know I have five more starts somewhere in the office.....

I think only two of these have gotten any stitches this  year so they are all wisps.... I will need to finish two before I can start something new, that is the policy and we will see how well it works over the next few weeks. Please cheer me on.

Regarding knitting, I only have three starts, one blanket, one sitting pad and one jacket so I didn't take any out to take pictures of today. I wonder which of those will be finished first... I have promised hats and socks and perhaps mittens for Christmast this year so those might be bumped up their queue...

Do you have more wips than me or do you feel appalled by my startisis and lack of stamina to see things through? I have seen some who actually have more starts than me, thankfully, I sometimes feel like I am a lost case.

Speaking of Romance, I miss you Ok.

This time I have some songs to show. Both C-ute and Crayon Pop are one of my all time favorite groups that still exists that is, and since Berryz Koubou is making their last single, I should include them too, but they are not in my top five group list, maybe top ten. But they are still enjoyable. I will miss Momochi, Risako and the background girls.

It is here!

And I LOVE this song by Cute. The music video is rather fun too, seems the company is experimenting with cute's songs and videos now.

What do you think?

My favorite twins from Crayon Pop has formed a sub-unit and made this awesome song. I had to buy the mini album right away. This reminds me of the crazy antics of W. I so wish W would come back, but Way and Choa are cute and funny and fills my sugar level to reasonable heights. I love this kind of sugary up-beat songs, I hope someone will always make such happy little tunes.

I love their dresses. And the song sound so Christmassy, it is nice to listen to Christmassy songs and making gifts without trying to get into the Christmas spirit because it is still pouring here and Christmas needs snow. Anyway, I am happy Momo is without her musubis and Risako looks and sounds great. I like the fu fu white romance and wow wows. To think they used to be background dancers to W. 

I & U, Du och Jag Alfred

 From the secret-season revealed: One other Christmas present for a friend!
I forgot to take a picture before I gave it away. But when I went to visit my friend she had put the picture up so I ninja-snapped a picture to show you. I adore this design, so cute.

It is this japanese idol group by the name of W. ( Pronounced Double U.) On the left ( in the real picture) there is Kago Ai and on the right is Tsuji Nozomi. (in the cross-stitch it is opposite) My friend and I loved them, and one year even cosplayed as them. Sadly now the group is disbanded and both girls are now married with children. Anyway, this is my first own design, but I could not show it because I really wanted it to be a surprise and if I had shown the design she would have known it was for her.

 I made them deliberately as Kokeshi-dolls because my friend has a thing for kokeshi-dolls. 

(if anyone is interested in the design I'll put it up)

 On Friday, I had some friends over, and one of them helped me to grid my new big project. My first real big project. Can you guess which piece it is? It is from DMC, but that is all the hints you'll get;) As of Saturday, this is how far I got.

This is today, but I hope to make a lot more on it before I'll call it the night,

On Saturday bunny I and I was home alone and she sat on the sofa for a bit letting me pet her, whilst I sewed and watched Charmed. The entire Charmed boxset was a gift from boyfriend and I love it so much I saw ten episodes in a day.
