And now for something completely different. Please tune me out if you're not into #BTS. Ahem.
Yo, ARMY!
If you're going to Raymond James Stadium in Tampa for the concert this weekend, I need to give you the tea, because as a former Tampa resident, it is my least favorite concert venue in the world.
Augh, I thought I'd be okay passing up Stars on Ice this year, but now I see that Amber, Alysa, and Isabeau are skating to KPop Demon Hunters! Oh well...everyone please enjoy and report back!

Three octopus toys shaped like Frida Kahlo.
Three more Frida pods and I'm done for the day!
Two octopus toys shaped like pomegranates, one with brown tentacles and one with green tentacles
More pomegranate prototypes! I like the shorter tentacles on these but I made the crowns too big. Another try should do it.
Octopus toys, one shaped like stone bowl bibimbab and one in teal with a hanging loop.
Still working out the bibimbab prototype. Will have to make the ingredients less orderly.
Two octopus toys shaped like Frida Kahlo.
The Frida Kahlo octopods take so long to make but they're so worth it.
Octopus toys shaped like a smiling pear and a carrot.
Carrotpod, your leaves are looking exceptionally dapper.
Two octopus toys shaped like cats, one orange and one black with green eyes.
Meow?

Your classic red octopod. Always a good choice for friend.
Aauuuggghhhhhh

I thought i had enough hair clips but when I saw this one, I gasped aloud
Ouch. Saw this coming, but ouch.
At a book event in a library, author Linda Sue Park talks to two college students about the chicken-themed sock one of them is knitting for the other one
Hee hee hee. THE Linda Sue Park inspecting the chicken sock my kid designed and is knitting for her friend. LSP also brought out and showed the potato chip scarf she is currently knitting.
Pomegranates are not sea creatures in the least! 🥰
I have written you down for one with larger eyes and green when I do my next round. Will message you when it's ready to make the trek northwest!
Using the Hungarian election as an excuse to post a great vintage Brian Orser video because, well, I can.
Note: The vest contains traditional Hungarian floral embroidery motifs and black leather trim. I've seen it up close, and it's AWESOME.
Congratulations, Hungary!

Yes, pomegranates! Thank you for your feedback on colors and eye beads! 🥰

Does this octopod look like it's wearing a bibimbab hat to you?
Three octopus toys shaped like pomegranates. One has brown tentacles and larger eyes. One is all red with smaller eyes. One has green tentacles and smaller eyes.
Prototype time. Can you guess what these octopods are supposed to be? What color works best for tentacles? Smaller or larger eyes?
I thought this was another promo for the BTS Arirang album. 🌗
Oh good, you're up. You can go to NYU for me and I can go back to sleep. ☕

Philly/Main Line locals! Reminder that you can hear the incomparable LINDA SUE PARK (you know, the legendary Korean American writer) on Monday, April 13 in Wayne. I was stunned to be asked to be her conversation partner (the words "my unworthy ass" have crossed my mind) and I'm so excited. Join us!
