New York and Dewey's Knit-a-long

Casey came over tonight to plan our upcoming New York trip. We purchased our plane tickets, made reservations at a seemingly-nice hotel, bought tickets to Coraline for almost half off, and got most of the week planned out. Coney Island! Strawberry Fields! Sardi's! We are really excited!

Also, I finished the Coraline-themed octopus/squid/kitty thing and gave it to her. I owe Casey, as the "Gryffindor Lion" I started for her last year is languishing in WIP-Hades. It turned out pretty cute!

I made the button eye out of Sculpey. It was my first time using it, and I loved how easy it was. I'm going to try a mini-version next.

Oh, I love it! What a fun project! If it's okay with you, I'll use the photo and feature it in my update on Dewey's Knit-a-Long next week!

Whoa, wait a minute, there's a Coraline show on Broadway? We're going in May and would love to see that one. I'm jealous that you're getting to stay for a week - we'll only be there for a few days, but our list of things we want to do is a mile long.
