Craft #13: the beginning of a bag, plus muffins

Today, I did two crafts. Firstly, I started a bag I plan on wearing at San Diego Comic-Con this year. I'm embroidering felt onto a black canvas bag into the shape of one of my favorite comic characters, Delirium of the Endless from Neil Gaiman's Sandman (pictured above). So far, the bag isn't turning out exactly how I want it, but then again, when does anything ever in the crafting world?

Muffins are delicious. Today, I made banana oat muffins with chocolate chips and cherry jelly in the middle. I used a recipe I found online, but added the chocolate chips and jelly on a whim. Considering how many my boyfriend is eating right now, I'd say they turned out pretty well. ;)

Craft #2: sushi

Story: Now normally, I wouldn't count cooking as art (not for these purposes, at least). However, in the case of sushi, appearance is just as important as taste. In fact, maybe even more important - it's hard for sushi not to taste good; the real challenge is making something appealing to the eye. Unfortunately this time, we didn't make enough rice to do anything really cool, but sushi is sushi nonetheless!

And, just because I'm really proud of these, here's some sushi we made a couple months ago!:
