I returned home from Disneyland about a month ago, and I have been going through a Disney withdrawal since. I've been watching walkthroughs of the park and listening to music that they normally play on Main Street, USA.

It's incredible what kind of effect Disney Parks have on me.

Disney people are my kind of people. There's something about that place where once you walk through the gates, it's suddenly OK to let your inner child free. In other words, I'm not ashamed to be a Disney adult.

Once you step into the park, it's not silly anymore to wear mouse ears, sit in a pirate ship and fly above London with Peter Pan, or get excited to meet Mickey Mouse even though you know it's an actual person inside that costume. It even felt natural to wear a Minnie Mouse polka-dot dress out in public!

Many things have happened in the last year for our family. BB has lost 2 teeth, I started a new job, and our family moved into a new home!

As the year comes to an end, we start looking forward to the new year with new beginnings. At the start of the new year, crocheters often start looking at temperature yarn projects. Google searches often come back with "temperature blankets".

Sometimes, crocheting blankets can be such a daunting project. What if you lose interest and don't end up finishing it?

Unless you're working off temperatures from years in the past, you're not going to have all your temperature data all at once. So in those cases, you might only be able to work on it one row or one piece a day.

So aside from some beautiful temperature blankets, here are also some other very creative temperature projects (that are NOT blankets)!

Cosplay is not restricted to just Halloween. You'll normally see cosplayers fully dressed as their favorite characters at special conventions and festivals.

Cosplay costumes are not just any off-the-rack costumes that you would normally find in a store. Many dedicated cosplayers set out to create their own costumes because they want more detail in them.

Cosplay has really exploded since the 1990s. I've seen many amazing cosplay costumes, but here's something different. They're not just crochet costumes. They're crocheted cosplay costumes!

Princess Anna's Coronation Dress

I came across this Princess Anna coronation evening gown on Reddit, and I had to take a second glance. What is this costume doing on the crochet subreddit? I had to zoom in to take a closer look.

I can't believe that it's 100% crocheted. This took Transatlantic Crochet approximately 18 months to complete, and it's absolutely a masterpiece from the original Frozen movie!

She admits that it is quite heavy (around 5kg) and that she needed extra support around the waist so that it doesn't drag down the top.

I have been to Japan more than a dozen times in my lifetime. All of it was with my family. Unfortunately, I relied on them so much that if I were to travel there on my own, I wouldn't even know how to navigate beyond the airport.
