Look, it's hard to come up with random words sometimes.

It's the weekend again! What have you been working on? What do you have to share? Have you done, read, watched, etc anything cool lately?

I need to finish that solarpunk story this weekend (and the next unit of notes from my microbiology class so the students can have them)

[dianec42]

I believe in you! You can do it!

[cornerofmadness]

thank you, I got it finished

[facethestrange]

Yay for finishing the stuff! And wow, microbiology is a really interesting field to work in! :)

[cornerofmadness]

Thanks. Yes, I'm sure microbiology is fun (I'm medical)

I'm still working on character art for Wolpertimon, who I should do a blog post about. Yesterday I didn't feel like doing more art, so I worked a tiny bit on the updates to my Neocities site about my conlangs. And tomorrow I'm going to try to start my three pieces of art for the Small Fandom Bang - all fandoms I don't know.

On Wednesday I have to go up with my Mom to Grandpa's. Fortunately there's internet there now, so I won't be cut off from the world (AT&T works up there, sometimes, but I have T-Mobile). Dad would be the one to go but he's currently got a cold or something (not Covid, he tested)

I've been kinda really productive - I vacuumed and did laundry this week and ran errands today. I still need to finish vacuuming :(

"my Neocities site about my conlangs"
Oh, this sounds super cool!

Good luck with the art! :)

Now that I've finished the Great Blanket Project I'm embroidering a tea towel. One day I'll figure out how to iron on the pattern so that I don't have to trace bits around the edges but that day is obviously not today.

[facethestrange]

Yay for finishing your project, and good luck with the next one! :)

This weekend’s House Project: General cleaning, which I accomplished a bit of yesterday. More needed, motivation low.

Current Creative Goal: Writing for the 120th Crowdfunding Creative Jam. Motivation moderate.

Last night we went to see Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania and it was a fun way to spend 2 hours.

[facethestrange]

Yay for a fun movie and good luck with your goals! :)

I'm about to go and teach my younger brother to sew :) Ive been working on art commissions and cross stitching!
only thing ive been watching as of late is SVU and The X-Files !

[facethestrange]

Sounds exciting! And watching older shows is always a fun idea. :D

[verchielmarch]

It really is!! (Dont want to think about how many times ive probably rewatched SVU while working on projects at this point lol) But its always nice to put on something familiar while i work :) The xfiles i never finished so ive been working through it-- gives me the craziest dreams though!

I started a job this week! So there was less crafting during the week because of that, but today I'm working on a crocheted hoodie.

I've also been poking at a crocheted stitch sampler cowl/scarf. A lot of my friends tell me I should teach knitting and crochet classes, so I'm attempting to come up with my own beginner pattern to teach. Right now I'm focusing on crochet, because I have some bad habits with knitting that make me a little more reluctant to teach it. Whether I actually follow through and start teaching classes remains to be seen.

Finally, in case there's any Final Fantasy fans out there who haven't discovered this yet: seventhe and lassarina are hosting a Final Fantasy Kiss Battle in sev's journal, here: https://seventhe.dreamwidth.org/444591.html
The more the merrier!

[facethestrange]

Oh, yay, teaching sounds like an exciting idea! :)

I am making great progress on the cross stitched fashion lady, despite not allocating enough DMC 948. She's missing most of one leg; she'll live until we get to the new house and unpack.

I am also making good progress on some work bureaucracy. It is seriously freaking me out that HR and management are actually on my side, and everyone is determined to make this work. I can honestly say that would NOT have happened literally anywhere else I've ever worked.

"She's missing most of one leg; she'll live until we get to the new house and unpack.

HEEE. :D

Good luck with the work stuff! :)

Hello All! I'm new around here. :>

I've currently been in the planning stages for a collaborative story I'd like to write soon enough...preferably with someone else sharing the driver's seat. Not sure if I'll find interested parties on this side of DreamWidth, but there's always hope I suppose. Barring that, I'd love some recommendations as to where I could find some interest.

I've posted about it here on my journal: https://renaissancesoul.dreamwidth.org/2429.html

Content warning for non-explicit NSFW mentions, the topic of ambiguous consent, and religious themes.

[facethestrange]

I'm not a writer, let alone a collaborative one, but this sounds like a super interesting project and I hope you find a co-writer for it! :)

[renaissancesoul]

Thank you! :) I appreciate hearing that. Hopefully it will strike the fancy of somebody in one of the places I’ve posted it.

I did as much stitching as I could this past weekend, because I felt "behind" after losing a day to the pipe bursting a few weekends ago. However, that has meant I didn't pull my tax documents together, which I really need to do. I guess that is an after-work project this week.

[facethestrange]

Good luck with the taxes (and the stitching)! :)

Two of my exchange drawings got revealed recently. :D
- The Elysian Dragon (Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Uhura as Queen Neve & original dragon)
- Blooming (The Wilds, Martha & Shelby)

Now I'm starting to work on my goreswap and idproquo assignments. :D
