Tooth Amigurumi (Free Pattern)

Recently, my orthodontist's office held a contest; patients were challenged to create homemade ornaments for the Christmas tree in their waiting room. A reward was offered for the ornament that received the most 'likes' on Facebook.

This project was my first amigurumi, and I created it entirely from scratch without a pattern. Some call me crazy, others call me ambitious. Whatever you want to call me, I am very proud of the way the ornament turned out:



and so I've decided to share the pattern with you. I know I would have loved to have this pattern before I began!

Obviously, you can omit the Santa hat. I forgot to snap a picture of the tooth without the hat, but it's easy to leave out.

If you decide to try this, send me pictures of your results! Good luck.

The Angels are Coming

Finally, it's Christmas time. Awesome. This is honestly my favorite time of the year.

My only complaint about this gorgeous season: ANGELS. EVERYWHERE.

#&^%#@*!!!!

If you haven't wet yourself with terror yet, you don't know Doctor Who. I feel very, very sorry for you.

Basically, If you haven't seen the iconic episode Blink, leave now. 

Spoilers!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My Dad was teasing us about the Angels, sparking yet another Doctor Who conversation, and at eerily exactly the same moment, my little brother and I reached the conclusion that the four angels who were quantum locked in this episode are loose wreaking havoc somewhere, right this very moment. An Angel being observed turns to stone- it can't get you, but the moment you look away, they attack. The Doctor tricked the four angels into standing in a square, looking directly at one another. But what happens when the lights go out in the basement, and they're no longer observing each other? 

Good luck.
