crochet:: amigurumi mario mushroom

Hi.  Happy Sunday 🙂

Yesterday I was sitting in our recliner with my laptop balanced on my knees when my teen-aged son walked into the room.  Now, he normally could care less what I am doing on the computer, but yesterday he started looking over my shoulder at the screen, and chatted a little about his plans for the day.  I was scrolling through page after page of thumbnails on iCrochet, and he stood there silently for several minutes as I clicked a few links.

Finally he spoke, and asked “Is this what you are always doing online?”  “Pretty much” I say.  Then, with utter amazement in his voice, “Mom, you need help…you’re addicted to yarn porn.“

I laughed so hard I cried.

After we regained our composure, and giggled just a little more, I asked him what kind of yarn porn I should look at to make him something fun and he suggested a mario mushroom from the video game.  Lo and behold, I found one quite easily and got to work.

After it posed for a photo shoot in my office, it was whisked away.

And, not that it is useful in any way, shape, or form; but it’s darn cute on his nightstand.

He was kind of jealous that I never made HIM the amigurumi food like I am lavishing on his cousins for Easter this year.  So, I am guessing there will be an afghan in his future.

Thanks for stopping by ~ have a lovely day 🙂
