Another weekend! What are you up to? What have you gotten done? What do you need encouragement on?

Remember to encourage other commenters.

FYI: I only barely have internet this week, so I won't be on much

I haven't gotten anything done but it's a rest weekend for me. Hope your weekend was nice!

Still puttering away at quilting stuff over here. I randomly showed the practice pinwheel blocks to a coworker (yay for video 1-1s, I can randomly trot out props) and they said "That's amazing!" Sometimes I forget the stuff I do is really cool and kinda magic.

I randomly set myself up a 4-day weekend. Plans for Tuesday include a rare trek to JoAnn for cheapass batting and whatever else falls into my cart. Ooooooooh I should see if I can score a coupon. :D

Sooooooo close to finishing this cosplay jacket I can taste it (well, aside from the embellishments, but the main bulk of the jacket is almost done). I haven't made anything like this in...*does math* almost a decade????? so this is pretty exciting for me.

Please don't taste the jacket. :D

Difficult week. I'm drowning in unfinished projects & all of them are lacking one Thing for me to finish them, so I start something new and the old ones pile up. It's a bad situation and I'm very stuck, because I generally *can't* get that extra thing but I'm loath to bin them and they don't have enough value to give away or sell.

I started making some D&D dungeon scenery from thin strips of cereal box and tacky glue, and they look **really** good - chunky and solid and extremely appealing. I've sealed them with neat PVA but it's stayed sticky so I'm considering my options for putting sealer over the top so they're nicer to handle and safe to paint. Maybe model primer?

Tried making a doll coat, but I'm very lousy at it & considering just getting rid of all my sewing stuff and admitting I will never be a sewer.

Oh no! That's a lot.

Good luck getting unstuck. Maybe you could trade your sewing stuff for the other Thing(s)?

Are the Things you're lacking crafty things? Because I know I've sent and had sent to me random bits of thread/buttons/etc that I needed that I couldn't practically get to finish a project. So maybe the crafty community could help you?

Okay, so this week was busy, because work and trying to find doctors, and etc etc. (When you move cross country, don't forget that you have to find new doctors and when that includes several specialists, that can be a chore.)

I still haven't tackled half my list, but my room is clean, my bedding is changed, and the thought of turning on music and writing/editing does not fill me with dread. Right now I'm considering curling up with a book, because why not?

On the creative side, I wrote this week! I wrote words that weren't editing notes! Now, there wasn't a lot, but they were there! I might go out and find an easy crochet pattern (ravelry, why hast thou forsaken me?) and get yarn and get to work on that. But I dunno. I'm waffling. (Really, I want an excuse to buy new yarn. Can you blame me?)

From:

dianec42

Wow, that's a lot! You are WAY ahead of my on the doctors thing. Go you!

What is it with the cross country moves lately??

I've worked some on my July break bingo fills and on this month's event in the allbingo community.

Other than that, I'm doing some adulting as solving stuff to move to basically the other side of the country.

The nicest thing of the week: my cousin's back, he got a job (but he's a little upset that I'm working on moving away. It's kinda adorable that he still thinks the two of us living in a rented apartment is a doable thing).
