Date: 2021-02-07 12:32 am (UTC)Currently doing laundry and trying to prep for my game tomorrow, which I should've prepped for earlier this week, but all the cleaning disrupted it (the noise of the vacuum is painful for me even from the other side of the house)

Date: 2021-02-07 05:09 am (UTC)The new tournament of my crafting challenge started, so I got a healthy dose of motivation from that. Plans for the challenges:
* Finish a crocheted shawl (already done!)
* knit a shawl out of green cobweb weight (very thin!) mohair and silk yarn, in progress
* crochet a beaded bracelet out of sterling silver wire. Materials arrived today!
* knit a racerbra, materials arriving on Wednesday.
* finished crocheting a purse, just the handles left
If all that wasn't enough, my friends started a kiss battle! I've always loved the idea of writing, but for years I haven't written because I've been fresh out of ideas. Therefore I'm thrilled that they started this, because I read some of the prompts and thought, "...I can do that!" And then did. I've posted two fics:

* https://seventhe.dreamwidth.org/437147.html?thread=6060955#cmt6060955
Tonight I worked on a third! It needs some polishing but I hope to post it tomorrow. I still can't believe I'm actually writing fiction again!

Date: 2021-02-07 03:22 pm (UTC)The silk and mohair is soooo lovely. It was weird knitting with it at first though because I'm a loose knitter and am usually fighting to make tighter stitches, but the shawl I'm knitting is *supposed* to be knit at a very loose gauge! The end result will be this ethereal wisp, and it's going to be lovely.

Date: 2021-02-08 03:54 am (UTC)I also started writing a very self-indulgent nice AU fic for What We Do In The Shadows (the show), then distracted myself from that by starting to write an even more self-indugent, even more niche crossover with Huge in the same AU. I crave validation, so if anyone wanted to go leave a kudo or a comment on any of my fics, it would make my day: https://archiveofourown.org/users/Lonespark_the_friendly_kraken/works
I also built a snowperson & dressed like George from Zoey´s Extraordinary Playlist & printed out his face & taped it on. Then I got Harvey Guillén to endorse it as legit fanart, on twitter, so I got to be ecstatic about that for a few days: https://twitter.com/MapnerdB/status/1357089171949690882/retweets/with_comments
