Moon Power

      No Comments on Moon Power

For my sins, I have never given any iteration of Sailor Moon a fair shake. I saw the first episode when I was a kid and didn’t know it was the first episode, so I was super put off by Usagi sitting down and crying until someone helped her. I should probably go back and watch it because it’s probably… Read more »

Give a Hoot

      No Comments on Give a Hoot

Yes yes, I know, again with the terrible jokes. This is a section of my other, less used purse. I love it, but it needed surgery to be appropriately useful. Thankfully, said surgery was completed in the last couple of day, so I think I’ll switch my stuff over to it for a bit and let it be my primary…. Read more »

Floor Below, Fan Above

      No Comments on Floor Below, Fan Above

One of the big things we had to do before moving into this house was get the entire house rewired. It hadn’t been updated since the house had been constructed in the 1960s, and well. We’re a tech-heavy family, and need more than a plug a floor. It also meant that we were able to pick some new light fixtures,… Read more »

The Bookshelf Less Seen

      No Comments on The Bookshelf Less Seen

There are two bookshelves in our lounge. There is a third in the foyer by the front door. Since I’m not usually standing or sitting near it, I figure I’d take a picture to show off its assorted contents and clutter. I direly need to pull out all the bookshelves and re-re-resort them. I also am thinking that the glass-fronted… Read more »

Wide

After a bit of fiddling to make hair and tail occur on my unicorn, I declared her completely done this morning. I had to stop knitting because my back and shoulders started aching. They’ve been really crappy all day, even with pain meds thrown at them. Knitting in chunky tends to bother it more than most other knitting, so I’ve… Read more »

Nearly There

      No Comments on Nearly There

I’ve been slowly plugging at my sewing all day, and the unicorn is nearly done. I just have to sew in the blue star (which ended up looking more like a flower), and then start threading the hair and mane in. I don’t know how tedious that may or may not be, but I guess I will see when I… Read more »

Slow Progress

I’m in the boring sewing-up stage of having made a toy. I’ve got the head and body joined, and one of the legs attached; the other is pinned on so I have a vague idea of where to place it. It will still probably take me a couple of tries because this is absolutely not my forte, but I want… Read more »

Oh No

My last hairstick broke today, quelle dommage! I’ve got a couple chucked into an Amazon basket for perusal, but I might see what Claire’s has as well. I don’t use them all the all the time, but when it’s warm like it is right now, I tend to find myself reaching for something to twist my hair away from my… Read more »

Sure, Why Not

      No Comments on Sure, Why Not

If there is one thing I cannot help but admire in small children, it’s how they can fall asleep in all sorts of goofy situations. I realise that this isn’t that odd a set-up, but it was cute. I mean, doesn’t everyone sleep with one wellie on, tablet in lap, a light saber, and used lunch dishes? Really, it’s the… Read more »

Bits and Bobs

      No Comments on Bits and Bobs

The unicorn pieces are slowly nearing completion. I’ve hit my usual ‘problem’ of doing toys — I get bored doing lots of tiny bits. I’d rather do big bits and join the big bits together, yanno? But it’s fine, it’s fine. I will get it done ’cause it’s a unicorn, and I will love it and gently squish it, and… Read more »
