Elvis lovers! The question for this week is…soundtrack songs! What are your top three songs from Elvis movies? Don’t forget to say why they speak to you! I love reading all your choices and the reasons why they mean so much to you! ❤️
Return to Sender (Girls, Girls, Girls) - This is a song I’ve loved since I was a little kid, long before I became an official “Elvis fan.” Even though the lyrics are actually kind of sad, the music for this is so bright and cheerful that it always makes me smile. I love the percussive part that sort of sounds like someone is tap dancing. And after seeing Girls, Girls, Girls, I can’t help but picture him doing his cute dance moves with that big smile on his face.
In My Way (Wild in the Country) - I love the simplicity of this song. This really lets the beauty of his voice shine through, and it is just magical to hear that. ❤️
Trouble (King Creole) - Elvis does so well with bluesy songs like this, and I love how you can tell that he loves them and really gets into them. I love his cute accent on the spoken part, and the way his voice goes up and down when he sings the word “name.” I also love King Creole and New Orleans from this soundtrack. The style is just perfect for him.
Honorable Mention goes to basically the entire soundtracks for Jailhouse Rock and Loving You, especially the song Jailhouse Rock because it is just absolutely iconic from the opening notes on. Another one that I’ve loved for years and at one point would have said was my favorite Elvis song (back when I could probably only name 10-15 lol). “If you can’t find a partner use a wooden chair” was always my favorite line.

mmg,, i might hiatus again,,,
I'd hate to do it, but there's no joy in crab posts as of right now, and also as of a long while ago.
Managing messages and responding to people in replies and being tagged and all the stuff in inbox is. a lot.
I never intended or expected crab blog to get this big, and it feels like such a chore to do at this point. Not that I dont like it, and not that I dont enjoy the fellow crab lovers, but it's certainly overwhelming.
That plus other socials and such that I manage and real life stuff is just. IDK, it's a lot. Usually, if I get to this point, I just drop off, maybe delete the account if I really can't stand it, but I'm definitely not going to do that here.
At the very least, I'm going to empty out the submissions that have been piling up, but after that, I'm not sure. I may not even get through all of those, I've already been relying on those for a long time at this point, and I think that's pretty obvious.
It feels like a hassle to deal with those anyways since most people don't even identify what type of crab it is that they submit, so I have to take the time to find it, which is usually not at all easy. There are so many posts that I've just had to guess what to tag it as because I just don't know, and there's no solid answer that I can find, at least not usually.
Which is also partially my fault, I've never said anything about it before, and I never specified it at an earlier time to make incoming ones less stressful to deal with, but even so I just. I don't know, I don't.
I don't know exactly when it'll happen, but it's the most likely thing to happen from here. I think I'll modify some stuff about how I handle the daily-crabbys blog to make it easier on me when I come back, but I'm not entirely sure what that'll be. I've never managed a successful daily posting account before, I haven't the slightest clue how to make it all easier on me.
Sorry that this has gotten so long, I didn't mean to rant. There's just so much that I feel like I need to say.
This isn't something coming out of nowhere, and it isn't going to be immediate. I've thought about wanting to do this for a while, and I know I did this already not too long ago, but I didn't really change anything for myself, so I'm just burnt out a lot faster.
Sorry again, both for the length of this and the fact that it's going to happen, but I've just got to make things better for myself before I carry on long term. I really just fucked myself over by not doing this the first time, but if I don't do something about it eventually then I'll just end up hating this blog too much to continue.

Fiber arts (crochet and knit, especially) tip I found helpful: It's great to be a yarn snob, but first, find what you actually like to work with. When you're beginning, you might be working with acrylic, and that's fine. There are plenty of great options for acrylic, and even that one material can be vastly different between brands (honestly, I think people don't recognize this enough! Acrylics are actually a diverse material!). However, you might like working with other materials more as you progress, and it's good to see what you'll like! I've been working with 100% cotton recently, and I really, really like it - much moreso than the acrylic I bought when I first crocheted, and I never knew that I would have liked it more.
It's okay to work with whatever you can, especially when it's your only option. When you get the chance, though, think about some things you like in a material. What textures do you like? What colour options do you prefer (bright/muted/natural)? What is realistic for you when it comes to caring for your projects once they're done? These are all important, and they're things that are specific for you. There is no such thing as a "bad material," only materials you like and want to use. It can be intimidating to feel like you're not at this pristine place of yarn-snobbery, but truthfully: it doesn't matter as long as you make things that you like, and being able to explore what you like can be really helpful.
