Sorry

Sorry about the lack of updates lately; I've been sort of busy, and when I'm not, I just haven't been motivated to crochet, or write out patterns (although, to be honest, I don't think I've ever been too excited about writing out a pattern). I'd like to say I'll have something up soon, but I just don't see that happening. Once summer's over, I'll probably start posting more again. So, sorry to anyone who's been waiting for a certain pattern; you're gonna have to wait a little longer.

Munchlax and Pokemon are owned by Nintendo. The pattern is my baby; please do NOT sell anything you make from it, and don't try to pass it off as your own (that's bad karma). Making one for charity it ok, though (it's more than ok, as a matter of fact). Feel free to share the pattern, but, again, give credit where it's due.
