Welcome to Whisper Sweet Joy. This blog is going to be my Diary of all the weird activities I do craft, food, and what ever. This also will be where I post about my rats and my Etsy shop.

I will post tutorials for some of my critters or at least where I found them. I hope this will give you the inspiration to go and create your own fun, or as I call it "My Productive Boredom"

Happy Jelly Fish

Watermelon Jelly Fish
I have been obsessed with Jelly Fish for the past little while. I think they are cool and fascinating.  I started Crocheting them for my niece who loves Jelly Fish. She loves to go the aquarium and just stare at them. They have a light that makes them change colors and she loves that. I made her a Jellyfish plushie and she absolutely loved it. She loves when I make her stuff.

My love for Jelly Fish started with an email I got at work. It was called Jelly Fish Bad Day. It was talking about a deep sea welder who got a Jelly Fish down his suit one day at work. The moral of the story is that your day at work can't be as bad as having you butt swell shut because of a Jelly Fish sting, so just tell yourself "I love my job" when things get rough.  I don't know how a story of a jellyfish sting made me like them but they did. My sister-in-law even bought me a Happy Jelly fish  Neacklace that I wear when I need a pick me up. I even watched an Anime called Princess Jellyfish. The anime is what gave me the idea for crocheting them for my niece. Then I went to the Aquarium at the Mandalay Bay Casino in Las Vegas on my husband and I's anniversary trip, and saw some stuffed jellyfish there, which helped my modify the pattern I used for the first jelly i made to the pattern I used now. (no I didn't buy one of their plushie I did but a cool Jelly Fish Keychain though)

I started off with some fun variegated yarn, and the plushies started to grow little personalities. Watermelon Jelly loves everything about summer, and so on and so on. yeah I probably should name them more properly but oh well. I love Jellys I hope you do to :)
