Just Create - Sleet Edition
Jan. 7th, 2023 02:35 pm(we've had rain and sleet here a few days)
Thank you Dianec42 for stepping in last week!
We're over the holidays! It's a new year! It's a good time to look back on last year. What did you get done that you're most proud of? What held you back? Is there anything you'd like to do more of?
Over at
allbingo the Public Domain Day Bingo Fest is on. Use the media coming into the public domain in your own creations, or just use the prompts as inspiration. Some of the big ones this year are the last of the Sherlock Holmes stories, the first three Hardy Boys books, and the Jazz Singer
And the standards: What are you working on now? What do you need encouragement on?

Date: 2023-01-07 11:50 pm (UTC)if the fanfic plots in my brain would stay put while I have the document open to type them, that would be lovely

Date: 2023-01-07 11:52 pm (UTC)Granted it wasn't the project I intended to finish, I'm still fairly pleased with myself. Usually it takes me forever to finish anything.
I finished a pair of fuzzy flannel pajama pants. If anyone wants to give this a go, it was pretty easy. I used the "Margo" pattern from Tilly & the Buttons (included with the book Love at First Stitch, but can also be purchased separately). I've had success with this pattern before so I felt pretty confident. The major addition this time was CARGO POCKETS. I found a video by Professor Pincushion on YouTube on how to design and sew cargo pockets which was very useful.
This is my second pair of flannel PJ pants. Now I can be warm even when it's laundry day, and have some idea where my pocket knife is, and have one less excuse for leaving my phone in random locations!
Edited to add: I'm very happy with 2022 in general. I finished several projects and did a decent amount of designing.

Date: 2023-01-07 11:56 pm (UTC)This year? I gotta build the soap business that I was mostly ignoring -- because I was busy building a house -- back into something that actually makes a fair amount of money.
Also I'm hoping that someday I'll get a nap.

Date: 2023-01-08 09:28 am (UTC)This year, I've been doing a "stitch and stream," daily knitting while streaming a TV show or movie. It helps me work through the pile of scarves I'm working through (I'm on 2 of 4 right now) and I have an excuse to whittle down my to watch list.

Date: 2023-01-12 01:53 pm (UTC)Yes! -
Wednesday - It's a bit different than some people are expecting out of the Addams Family, but it's really well done overall and I especially like how they handle coming of age with fantasy elements.
The Sandman - In my opinion, it's an excellent adaptation of the comic.
We Baby Bears - It's a children's show prequel of We Bare Bears. The show features Griz, Panda, and Ice Bear as cubs traveling in a magical cardboard box to different worlds looking for a home. The episodes are only 11 minutes long and it's adorable.
Harley Quinn (cartoon tv series): it's nuts and definitely a unique take on the characters, but it's good.
Most of the rest have been catching up on final seasons of shows I haven't been able to get to or prewatching the movies from DC Animated Universe with Damian Wayne in them for a friend (not that I am not enjoying those too, it just felt weird to rec them).

Date: 2023-01-13 11:16 am (UTC)You're welcome. I hope you enjoy We Baby Bears. It has become my comfort food show, for sure.
I forgot to add Glass Onion to my earlier recs, if you are into mysteries at all.
