As you might have guessed, my back hurts a lot. But I'm working on a reference sheet for a Thundercats oc.

I'm also in talks for a job, but it means relocating for five months to a city eight hours away. So that's scary/exciting. (Anybody know somebody in Silicone Valley with a room to rent?). It won't be for a while, because there's a background check and all the foofaraw to go through first.

Job stuff sounds exciting! But also stressful. And fraught.

Good use of the word "foofaraw" tho.

Good luck!!

Good luck with the new job & possibly relocating

I am slowly unearthing my craft room after the move. And making lists! Lots and lots of lists.

I am happy to have Monday off. Some sort of crafting will happen. It might be practicing cutting strips for quilting. It might just be trying elastic instead of drawstring in my ever-evolving pajama pants. It might just be cross stitching the cover of my sewing notebook. Who knows?

I am looking forward to either getting Mr Diane to find a new home for all these random arts piled up in the craft room, or just sneaking them elsewhere myself, so I have enough room to do sewing projects.

Oh man, moving is the worst. We just moved cross country and are still trying to unearth everything.

now trying to track down a source that isn't Wiktionary for the assertion that 百合 (yuri) means

a style of 襲の色目 (kasane no irome, “color scheme of layering garments”), featuring a red outer layer and a reddish-gold inner layer, and worn in summer (from the way the color scheme resembles the coloration of the petals of certain varieties of lily)

as well as 'lily' itself and 'f/f'

[dianec42]

Good luck!

I did find a source—had to spend a lot of time swearing at Google Translate, bc the translate whole page thing refused to translate from Japanese, and I do not trust what it says when it is translating from auto-detected Chinese a page I know perfectly well is in Japanese—and then the story rearranged itself in my head anyway so the character is sticking with the blues we see him wearing a lot of in canon

which I still punned on, it's just a different pun altogether

I started knitting a new hat on Thursday and I'm about 6 in into it. I have another knitting project on hold, my bralette top. I've got to do a new technique on it so it's waiting till I have brain space and time for it.

Re: knitting

[dianec42]

Yay for bite-sized projects. I know the feeling, I hope it all comes together for you soon.

Re: knitting

[readera]

I'm hoping to have time to work on it this weekend. I have Monday off too.

Re: knitting

[dragonjournal]

Oh, do you have a pattern for the hat? I'm always looking for new hat patterns!

Re: knitting

[readera]

Yup! It's a free pattern and I've made at least 3 of them. https://www.tincanknits.com/pattern/barley?g=2

After swearing last year that I wouldn't run such a fest, I caved and created summerofthe69 on Friday. It's still got some polishing to go before it's ready to open to the public, but it's not officially starting until June 9th regardless, so.

I have Very Good Ideas Always and in no way will regret this.

I've been working on gardening. I've got a lot of stuff planted or potted up. Today I weeded the cistern garden.

Re: Thoughts

[silvercat17]

Go you! Weeding is what gave me the backache (neglected rather wide flower bed that had gotten taken over by a weedy ground cover)
