Two to Go

      No Comments on Two to Go

There is finally an end in sight on the blanket squares — there are only two more cakes of wool to get through. I don’t know how long it’ll take me exactly because I haven’t been keeping track of that. I guess I could circle back and get an estimate, but honestly? I can’t be bothered. 🙂 What I CAN… Read more »

Not Quite

      No Comments on Not Quite

One of the reasons I charge the prices I do is that it can take me a long time to come up with, and execute suitable designs. While this one came out super pretty, it also came out a bit too short. Which means reevaluating what I did, and finding a way to add a few more beads, but not… Read more »

Dangly

The French hooks for earrings came in today, yay! I immediately crammed a pair of blanks into my ears to see how it went. And then I eventually took them out and made earrings for myself, and the first stock of such for the store. I think that doing the same with the various colours of my other danglies will… Read more »

New Cake

Today has become another day, another cake of wool. I don’t know that I will finish a full square today, but that’s fine too. I’ve been gaming and chatting, and I even stopped to make another bracelet. Said bracelet promptly sold ’cause my friends are awesome, and I can hope the recipient loves it. I know I do; I’d be… Read more »

Breathe

      No Comments on Breathe

I’m not exactly sure what the deal is today, or the combination of deals, but breathing? Yeah, not happening. My nasal passages are clear-feeling in spite of snottiness, but like… lungs. They are protesting a lack of air anytime I get up to do anything. I know I’ve still got a cold, I know the pollen count is up there,… Read more »

Le Grind

Today has been… floofy. I had to check myself at one point to make sure I wasn’t rocking a fever ’cause I was feeling on the edge of hallucination-y. Instead I’m apparently cold-blooded, but never mind. Work got done, writing got done, and I didn’t dissolve into a pile of spittle on my desk. I’m going to call that a… Read more »

So Not Impressed

So. I went up to bed last night, performed my normal ablutions, and laid down… only to find out that APPARENTLY, I had a head cold just waiting for me to lay down and discover I couldn’t breathe. I managed to get to sleep somehow in spite of having to mouth breathe, and woke up completely crusted up and over…. Read more »

Nearly

Today, I have done an exemplary job of doing almost nothing. I finished the level of Caesar III I was on last night, and have moved on to good old Londinium. I’ve gone so far as to bust out Excel to try and get the best mapping for my Palace blocks in situ… we’ll see how and if it works. And,… Read more »

16

      No Comments on 16

As I had finished the super duper rainbow cake of wool, I decided to stop and take stock of how many squares I’d made so far. If I’ve counted correctly, I have 16. The two full cakes I did each made six, while the remnants of the orange after I made a cat hat for Seanan McGuire was four.  Smalls… Read more »

The Colours, Duke!

      No Comments on The Colours, Duke!

I just got get started in on my next cake of wool for blanket squares, woo hoo. I decided to go for the rainbow because it will be more fun to work, and because it was the one that was easiest to get to. I don’t know how many I will or won’t get done today, but at least I’ve… Read more »
