I've been working on the tinker's wagon this week, & I have the walls more than halfway done! Today I'll be starting on the roof, but this evening I'll be driving into Gallup for the monthly ArtsCrawl. I haven't tried setting up a booth there yet, but perhaps when the tinker's wagon is done ...

I got the last of the four roof arches cut, & I've got lengths of 2x2 screwed to the bottom of three of them now -- those will help me attach them upright to hold up the roof. Hadda get a new blade for the circular saw so I'm taking a bit of a break.

For those wondering what the heck I'm on about, the blueprints for the back wall of the tinker's wagon:

back wall

I'm working on the arched bit at the top.

Last one's done, I've got them all tucked into the bed of the wagon under a tarp, & now I get to fart around for an hour or two before I gotta head out. Home Despot, Walmart, & then Gallyps ArtsCrawl.

It's been a really fun & satisfying project!

I haven't been painting in a while. Currently living in a small studio apartment with a cat who's curious about everything, so it's been tricky to find a space and time.

But tomorrow, I'm going to go out to the park and paint!

... this is why I gave up on learning to spin with a drop spindle.

Excellent! I hope you have a lovely time! If you feel up to posting updates tomorrow, that'd be REALLY cool.

Yeah, cat and a drop spindle. Not great companions!

He didn't even play with the string, he just wanted it to spin the other way. No matter which way it was spinning, thus dashing my hopes of a cat-powered spinning wheel.

Not a lot. I know what's next in six different WsIP (and can probably start to sort out my Yuletide assignment with a bit more canon review). I just can't seem to get anywhere! with any of them!

also there's a new episode of my canon out and I am having trouble convincing myself to watch it. I mean it's the episode I wanted where the firelight fades to be done and started posting before it aired, which I have like 10K to go on that story, but I am going to have the damnedest time participating in this fandom while I continue putting off watching the episode!

Finished a hat! it fits, but I'm a little disappointed with how tall it came out. Because it's so tall, it's hard to see the pattern on it (wavy lines) because the hat wrinkles. Oh well, still glad I made it. It was a fun pattern to work.

I plan on working on a crocheted shell stitch hat today. Right now I'm on the ribbing. That's my least favorite part of crocheted hats.

It's pretty! But I see what you mean about it being too tall for the pattern to show. (I wouldn't have if you hadn't pointed it out, mind you.)

You could ... stuff a bunch of stuff into it so it stands up tall & tell people it's a half grown gnome hat?

Well, this week I finally posted the first chapter of this fic that I've been working on for the better part of this year, and now I'm working on keeping my expectations low for the stats. ;)

It's a three-day weekend for me, so tomorrow my stepbrother and I are going to go on an extreme hike that will be WAY out of my comfort zone! I'm excited and terrified all at once.

Also I baked rolls this morning. :)

Saving the fic to read later cos I gotta run back outside & screw things to things, but YAY Silmarillion fic!

The hike tomorrow sounds fun -- I hope you still have legs afterwards!

& yay baking!

[ edited -- not Sil fic, sorry! I plead dumbassery on account of the number of Sil fics I've read lately. Still looking forward to reading it! ]

Haaaa. I hope that as someone used to reading Silmarillion fic you will not hate me for this one! I still can't quite bring myself to start the actual book, but this story takes place (in part) during some Silmarillion events, so I did a LOT of wiki searching and cross-referencing and occasionally just making stuff up. (AKA it is probably very wrong.) The world in which the story takes place is sort of Tolkien and sort of just my own headcanon universe where I do what I want. *hides*

But good luck/have fun with the screwing things to things! It sounds like an exciting project!

I mean I also read a lot of Avengers fanfic & have seen precisely two of the movies, so. & the Silmarillion is ... it's a LOT.

I'M SCRUBBING MY HARD DRIVE OF THE STUFF THAT NEEDLESSLY STRESSES ME OUT

AND IT IS SO SATISFYING

Wrote some more letters, yay. Not as many as hoped for but a bunch of paperwork got in the way. This weekend, I have a few social things planned, need to do an online order and hopefully more letters, too!

I'm working on a super-simple crocheted scarf out of nice fluffy yarn. After that I'm going to go through my pattern books and reduce my leftover yarn pile.
