Time to sit down and make it!

Wow. Very cool.

Ahhh, that sounds so fun, I'll see if I have a friend who would do that with me. :D

I'm slowly working on a reference sheet for Wolpertimon (an digimon OC). I made a few of zer parts in Blender because you can use 3d objects in Clip Studio and drawing is hard. I probably should do a blog post about it.

Today I'm gming the conclusion to an adventure in Dungeons and Dragons and tomorrow I'm playing a game of Iron Edda, which is a Fate Accelerated game. And I really need to look at the game book

I also watched Del Toro's Pinocchio (on Netflix) and really recommend it (tw for alcohol, drowning, child abuse, war [it's set in Italy during the rise of Mussolini], child death, skeletons, burning [to Pinocchio, but you hear him yelling] and probably some stuff I'm forgetting)

It's gorgeous and I wish there was more discussion of it going on on Tumblr

From:

Awesome!

From:

Thank you for the rec, I've seen it mentioned a few times but I didn't even know it was a new movie!

Also I love playing Dungeons and Dragons but I'm such a newbie at it and not good at all (yet). xD

From:

sounds like fun!

snowflake_challenge 4 is the world's continuing insistence that I get on the Miraculous Ladybug chronology project for serious and immediately

if the fanfic plots in my brain would stay put while I have the document open to type them, that would be lovely

From:

alas that plots are so SPEEDY

From:

Good luck with your project!

I started AND FINISHED a sewing project in just over 2 weeks!

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.

*wild applause* it has POCKETS

Wow!

From:

Very nice! Kudos to adding pockets!

From:

Yay! Pajama pants with pockets = ♡♡♡ I don't think I've ever seen any!

Good for you for a finish! I so far have not been inspired to try to make my own clothes, as I can generally find acceptable clothes commercially and I had sewing machines. So I'm very in awe of you actually doing this!

From:

I built a house. It's a very small house -- under 200 square feet, with a second story -- but it's a house. & now me & my partners have a place to live.

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.

From:

dianec42

Yay house! That's amazing. You must be so proud of yourself. <3

From:

Mostly I'm just tired. I figure I'll me impressed when I've caught up on sleep, which should be another 4-5 years.

From:

Way to go on building a house. That's amazing.

Good luck on the soap business and finding that nap

From:

thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

From:

This is honestly so impressive! ♡ Good luck with all your other projects, especially the napping one. :D

From:

*bow, flourish*

tbh all my other options were worse; that's a powerful motivator

I'm enjoying my mandala coloring book esp since I got a pencil sharpener for my colored pencils.

I'm also knitting on my scarf still. I'm on the yellow garter section. The plan is to transition to black yarn and knit the end section in black.

From:

oooo yes mandala coloring books are GOOD, & thank you, you have reminded me that I have some of those!

From:

you're welcome 👍👍

From:

Nice!

From:

That sounds like a lot of fun! :) And yellow = ♡♡♡ (And your icon is the prettiest, coziest thing! ♡)

From:

Last year: I'm most proud of learning to knit and my 31 days of crafting & posting to Instagram about it in October. My computer dying in June and having a panic attack every time I try to buy a new one is what held me back the most.

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.

From:

Yay for two fun activities at the same time! :)

ETA: Any recs from what you're currently watching? :)

Multitasking is my jam ;)

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).

From:

Oh, yay, I watched Wednesday (I liked it A LOT, and it's pretty much exactly what I expected tbh :D) and The Sandman (I really liked many parts of it, I've never read the comic). ♡ I'm bookmarking We Baby Bears, I haven't heard of it before and sometimes I really need a silly kid's show, it sounds right up my alley, thank you. :D

From:

Awesome! I loved Wednesday and The Sandman both dearly, but I have been seeing so much backlash from Addams Family fans and Sandman comic fans, I have been reccing with caution.

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.
