Slow Progress

      No Comments on 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 »

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 »

Time, She Flies!

So like, it’s been fun here at R and C’s house, but it’s already almost time to go. Whut. At least it looks like, knock on wood, we’re going to get a sunnier trip back than we did to here. And I leave with some goodies too, hee hee. R picked up the Pokestop sticker for me, and some Twizzlers,… Read more »

On the Way

Today’s picture(s) come to you compliments of the school run. There’s always lots of pretty things to see in peoples’ gardens along the way, to include the sassy cat I spotted lounging under a tree. I took more pictures than these, so maybe I’ll use them some other time. I managed to achieve all my objectives today, which were: A. … Read more »

It’s Magical

Well, I did manage to get the socks done last night… I think I mentioned that. So I spent today winding up the remaining wool, moving crap around on my desk, and eventually getting the pattern for the toy kit I wanted to do next printed. It happens to be for a unicorn, which yanno, yoink! I also printed out… Read more »

And Finally, The Sky…

Today, the rains finally came. Well, it rained a bit yesterday, but today seems to have been the day for the rain to come in a way that caused peoples’ headaches to eff off. I still feel fairly awful, but my head pain has been mainly manageable. It probably helped that I went to bed stupid early last night. Like,… Read more »

It Burrrrrns

I don’t know if it’s the pollen or the air pressure or both, but I have a brutal sinus headache. It’s not a congested thing, but rather, more of a ‘everything in my head is in pain and on fire’ sort of thing, to include my eyes.  It’s not pleasant. R thinks it might get better if/when the thunderstorm we’re… Read more »

As you can see, sock #2 is starting to get off to a good start. It’s a pretty good match-up colour-wise so far, but we’ll see how it goes. I might get further along and find that someone has done a random-ass grafting like in the other skein. *shakes head* Whatever the case, I’m enjoying the turn of speed that… Read more »

I cast off the first sock of the current pair this morning — yay! I’m a couple of rows into the next one, so yanno, hooray for getting a start at least. I didn’t expect to get much done today because gaming. Maybe I’ll pick up and do a bit more once we have the girls tucked up… we’ll see…. Read more »

That Was Quick

So, I rolled my character yesterday morning. I had work, I was out on a night, and then I had work again today. So, how am I level 34 already, ha ha. Granted, I’m currently on Expert difficulty, which is juuuuust about challenging. I think it’s the first time that I’ve ramped up the difficultly on a first run-through for… Read more »
