Welcome to Crumpled Paper! My name is Christine Star and i'm ever so pleased to meet you! This is my little space on the internets where I can ramble about anything and everything.
I love crafting, crocheting, cats, coffee, comics, chocolate, computers, coding and most things that start with the letter "C", except coconuts. I can't handle coconuts or things that smell like them ~_~
This site also used to be home to my weekly web comic and occasional doodles, but I've had to put my drawings on hold for now. There's lots to look at though so have fun poking around and I hope you enjoy your stay!

I know a lot of people were annoyed by her Hot Tamale train, but honestly, it’s just not the same without her. Mary and Nigel had a wonderful little chemistry with each other, and I find the judges are now missing that… pizazz? I’m not sure what word I’m looking for, but it’s not the same, and I want Mary back. Mia is a talented choreographer, but as a judge she drives me bonkers. She should be working with the dancers, not judging them. As for Adam, for the most part he’s alright, although his comment about being knifed last week was pretty outrageous. One super important thing about Adam that I have to say, and I hope that my blog somehow makes it to there feedback radar, but DO NOT LET HIM SPEAK FIRST. Nigel should be first! I don’t care if he feels like it’s unfair. Adam just goes on and on and on and when he’s last, at least he’s time constrained. I miss Mary.
Or as my mother prefers to think of him, an Ice Cream top without the cone! Tee hee! With all the obsession with cute poop out there, I knew I had to get in on that action !
I’ve got a few crochet projects on the go, and I’ve been working like a busy bee over the last few months in preparation for the fall. I just finished a really cute hat! Would you like to see a sneak peak? Of course you would!
It’s a new stitch that I’ve never tried before, kind of a combo between a V-Stitch and a clam shell stitch. I think it turned out really lovely and there’s a twist to it too! But I’ll save that for when I post it up in Twin Love!
Anywho, I’m off to work! I’ve got a busy busy day ahead of me as my week off starts this Friday!
Six days off in a row! It’s the most time off I’ve had since Christmas and I’m so looking forward to it!
Hope life is treating you all wonderfully! *hugs*
That it’s following my opinion about how the new SYTYCD format stinks is a coincidence I swear!! *wink wink* [↩]
Ok, so apparently it’s Documentary Saturday, but I’m ok with this.
Documentaries and non-fiction books have really taken over my life in the last year whenever i watch or read anything. It’s always fascinating, and today is wonderful proof of that.
I just finished watching We Are Wizards.
It’s a look at the music inspired by the universe of Harry Potter. From young children to adults, multiple generations have forever been changed by the power of the imagination.
One of the groups they focused on was “Harry and The Potters“. They are amazing. Amazing! I’m very tempted to buy every single one of their albums. The only thing stopping me is the small detail of not having any money!
I checked their tour dates to see if they’re still touring, and they are! But in Sweden! No Canadian dates, of course. Sadface.
They also featured a Christian women who thinks Harry Potter will lead people to evil and the occult. Now she’s entitled to her opinions of course, just as I am to mine. And it is my opinion that she’s completely off her rocker and projecting her own small minded fears onto other people. In my experience, based off people I know who love the books, Harry Potter fans are usually smart, a little geeky, creative, and imaginative. The fandom that is created by these people is open, warm and accepting. Like most fandoms in the sci-fi/fantasy world, it’s usually made of people who have felt like a bit of an outsider from time to time, and it’s a place where we can all be ourselves and feel like part of something. When ever I hear anyone accuse people who like magic/fantasy in general of being dark, or drawn to the Occult, it just makes me so annoyed! I remember when I worked in a video store back in the day and the first Harry Potter movie had just come out on DVD. I was playing it when a women and her 3 year old son came in. He immediate was drawn to watching it and she made me turn it off for the duration that she was in the store because she doesn’t allow anything magic related into their lives. For me, that just seems so limiting for a child’s growth and imagination.
Any who, I didn’t mean to go off on a tangent.
If you have an hour to kill while cleaning, or crafting 1 it’s a lot of fun to watch.
