Exploding Corpses for Fun and Profit

      No Comments on Exploding Corpses for Fun and Profit

After cacking up a few things and my bank getting whiny because I gave money to Blizzard (true story — all my Blizzard purchases get flagged), I was able to role myself a Necromancer this morning. Of course, I had to wait until after work and bath to give her a go, but man. I’m having serious fun. And that… Read more »

Too Many Pictures in the Year

      No Comments on Too Many Pictures in the Year

My mother-in-law’s birthday is in a few days, and her one request was that I whip up a new filler for the picture frame we got her last year. The filler currently in it was pictures of the girls from the previous year, so what I’m doing is the same again. As I’ve taken *thousands* of photos in the past… Read more »

What you see here is the back of Shirley the Sheep. We bought her as a Christmas present for Littlerbit’s first Christmas — because we thought it was hilarious to buy her a plush toy big enough to ride on. Her tail had gotten ripped off at some point in the past *mumble mumble* months, and has been sitting on… Read more »

Inside the Bag of Holding

This is my magical messenger bag. I briefly switched to a ‘proper’ knitting bag for going to my knitting groups, but I gave it up and returned to said bag — because it holds everything and then some. I’ve not even loaded my tech into it, and yet there is still plenty of room. I’ve got my bowl + sock… Read more »

I am pleased, because my second skein of the Chroma wool cooperated with being turned into a cake. I love the watermelon-y feel to it, and after a bit of looking around, i found a pattern that looks interesting. I’m pretty sure that the skein should go the distance, but if not, I might do the toes in the remnants… Read more »

I realised earlier today that I’ve been chewing on my lip. I’m not sure why I have, but like all those ‘bad’ habits, I guess I’ll have to try and pay attention and break myself of it. Again. At least it’s not as bad as when I gnawed a ridge into my cheek, or the callous that existed on my… Read more »

Not Exactly My Forte

First things first — I finished my socks last night, as I thought I would. I think I am going to debut them tomorrow, as they would look grand over a pair of black leggings. Secondly, as my cool-down project, I decided I would finish the poor mouse that has been languishing on my desk for… well, quite some time… Read more »

Bright Light

Today’s picture comes to you via Littlerbit deciding she was the one taking the picture. She managed to crank the exposure right up, so we look even paler than we actually are (which, to be fair, is pretty damned pale). I was actually trying to get a picture with both of the girls, as I have less pictures of Smallhausen,… Read more »

Not Enough Popcorn

We came, we voted, we… got a hung Parliament. I’m somehow okay with this — to a point. That Despicable May has chosen to form a government with the DUP, and not even able to make a ‘proper’ coalition of it… well. As people pointed out today, the fact she’s having to rely on non-English MPs for various legislation makes… Read more »

Nearly, but Not Quite!

      No Comments on Nearly, but Not Quite!

Looking at the ball of wool, and looking at the first sock, I think I can safely say that they’re not going to end up near identical. I’m fine with that though, more than fine with it. I’m pretty sure I’ve said it any number of times, but one of the joys of variegated wools (to me) is the little… Read more »
