Hello world

One week and 1 day to go till code wars. Last year the QLD team took home all three prizes.

This year we are a team member down, but are still hoping to bring the trophy back to where it deserves to be!

I’ve known for a little while but realised I should post…
I’m speaking at webdu again this year. My talk is on getting underneath your flex skin. I’ll be showing some interesting techniques on getting custom states and skins into your custom components.

I noticed that google has a new google fav icon. After putting up with it for a little while then my curiousity got the better of me (as I’m working) and I did a little research to find out that it is to stay.

Oh well, I guess I will get used to it.

That’s how I felt tonight, well honestly how I’ve been feeling a lot this week. Anyway with some of the things I ‘had’ to do out of the way, I decided to take the night off and do some sewing. I tried to continue some of the applique work but my concentration levels were just not high enough. I then decided that I wanted to make a soft toy lorikeet (random thought) and after drawing up a pattern, I realised I didn’t have any bright green or yellow fleece. So I decided to make a crab since I had red fleece.

Here is the final result.

He is pretty rushed as tonight I didn’t focus on quality but just wanted to create.
I made up the pattern and went for it. Those little feet take forever to turn the right way around!

Andrew likes his new crab and I’m happy I got to spend a few hours being creative.
