How are you all doing? I am working on installing a menu on a video cms.

I stopped on the way back from walking to the mailbox to poke around the yard of a house I thought was probably abandoned, & now I'm pretty sure it's abandoned. It's got a hole in the roof & one small hole in a window & that's ... really not much wrong with it? I mean. Given that I have no idea what it looks like inside.

But it's obvious the yard was really cared for once -- little walls of some of the pretty local rocks lining pathways, some REALLY big old trees. Excellent shady spots.

I have hereby declared that if I get kicked out of where I am (which is probably unlikely but: my brain) I will break into this place & live there.

This comment brings back memories. We had an abandoned house on our block when I was a kid. The house was set far back in the lot, so had an extra large front yard that was surrounded by bushes. The bushes got overgrown, but us kids used to squeeze through the bushes to explore the yard. It was like our own private forest! We caught butterflies there, and once discovered a den of kittens. Fun times.

On a much smaller scale, I live on the 4th floor with 3 other apartments where everyone moved out. I live in New York by the way. For a time, my partner and I could use the entire hallway to ourselves without concern for our 4th neighbors. It was good while it lasted.

... oh wow, having that kind of space in New York is even more amazing than it is anywhere else!

Working on several projects:

* Drinking Games Shawl
* Hazel Handbag, hoping to finish in the next few days
* Through the Leaves Wrap Top

This week I also made dinner on Monday. I made Salsa Rice Enchiladas, which are easy and very tasty. I will also be cooking tonight's dinner: a dish with beef Rice-a-Roni, meatballs, broccoli and red peppers. Yummy!

I took a break from crafting yesterday to play video games, but I intend to get back to it today. I need to finish the handbag this month so I can enter it in a drawing to win more yarn.

[kellan_the_tabby]

... wait, so instead of drinking, you add lace?

om nom enchiladas

[althea_valara]

Yup! You do yarn overs depending on the buzzwords in the media you're consuming. It's fun.

[kellan_the_tabby]

that sounds AMAZING

Why aren't there more drinking game crafty objects? That needs to be remedied.

Updated a Vid Recs site. Added a new link ("How it works") to display a video tutorial. https://vidrecs.com
Tweeted about it. Really into vidding.

Hey, I didn't notice this last week, and I just want to say thank you for starting one. I keep forgetting until it's late and sometimes I figure it's too late. So, again, thank you!

You are very welcome. I like the idea behind this. We sometimes feel alone in our creative projects and it's nice to know we are not. I am happy I got to contribute in at least letting you know you are not alone. :-)
