I am working on the Hawaiian shirt quilt... assembling the first 2 disappearing 9-patch blocks to make sure this will work.

1. I hate rayon
2. I managed to sew 2 out of 4 pairs of sub-blocks in the wrong arrangement. Seam-ripped them, redid them, and managed to get 1 of them wrong (in a different way, but AGAIN).

I also set up my bullet journal trackers for July. I've changed my format a bunch and I hope it's more helpful.

Okay, but a Hawaiian shirt quilt sounds amazing.

I can understand hating Rayon but a Hawaiian shirt quilt sounds amazing

I hopefully just finished the final piece of lineart a friend of mine commissioned me; she wanted twelve pieces for a mini coloring book, and I got ten of them done a couple days ago, but didn't get the last two until today. That said, she may want a different option for one of them, so I'm prepared to draw another; I just need to think of a subject for it first...

Also, I finished my rat mood theme! Well, basically. I still want to do a couple alternate versions of some of the moods, but there's officially at least one image made for each mood, so that counts as "done" to me.

I also made a NSFW thing for summerofthe69, in case anyone likes tentacles...

[dianec42]

OMG I love the ratties so much!!

Great job on the line art. I hope your friend likes it!

[soc_puppet]

Thank you! I had a really good time making them, though I am definitely going to appreciate taking a break 😂 Like, I built breaks into the schedule at moodthemeinayear, but having rediscovered how much fun drawing is in thanks to the comm, I had difficulty making myself stop! With almost no more rat moods I want to make, I can finally make myself relax.

She did! I am very excited. And also very pleased with how it all turned out ✌

[cornerofmadness]

oh gosh the rats are cute and yay for tentacles (I wrote one for the challenge too only mine was height difference)

[soc_puppet]

Thank you! I'm super pleased with the rats; they are my cute buddies ♥ And tentacles are lots of fun 😁

I saw that! I was so super excited to see someone else create something for Sot69, especially so early in the fest! It gives me hope for this year going well 😃 Alas, it's not a fandom I'm into yet, but I made sure to boost the link at followfriday, so hopefully it got you a bit more attention!

[cornerofmadness]

I did really like your original work there too. I need to put the other story in the rec post as I did one for the same fandom/couple (It's a fun fandom IMO) like 2 days before the height difference prompt came out.

thanks for the rec I appreciate it

[soc_puppet]

Thanks! I've got two origific story ideas I might do for some future Sot69 prompts (one more tentacle x human, one mershark x human), since I'm kinda between fandoms at the moment. Though I suppose that does mean it's the perfect time to investigate a new one ;)

Sure thing!

[cornerofmadness]

And I SHOULD be working on my original stuff instead of being down a deep fandom rabbit hole

[dragonjournal]

I WROTE SOMETHING TODAY.

It's crappy and needs edited and I don't care.

[dianec42]

YAY WRITING THE THING!

[cornerofmadness]

yay for writing

[soc_puppet]

Woo, progress! You did a thing, and that's amazing!

[cornerofmadness]

I've had two stories come out in anthologies in the last 10 days and I'm ready to submit to my fourth open call this month.

Right now I'm working on my wipbigbang

[dianec42]

That's a lot of stories! Go you!

[cornerofmadness]

thank you

[soc_puppet]

Awesome work! Sounds like you've got things well handled 👍 Keep it up!

[cornerofmadness]

thanks

Started a week-long research project early, which was all compiling articles and looking at titles to narrow the topic down a bit.

[dianec42]

Yay for getting an early start! I bet you'll do amazing.

[cornerofmadness]

good luck with it

[soc_puppet]

Sounds like a good start!

[silvercat17]

I made an appointment for my car to get a recall fixed.

And I'm working on a long to-do list for rainbowlist updates.

[silvercat17]

Got up a whole bunch of new prompt lists

[dianec42]

You can do it! Go you!

[cornerofmadness]

good luck with all that

[soc_puppet]

Phew, making appointments is always a headache for me! Hopefully it goes well.

I've been working on my resume & job hunting since I got let go from let go from work last week.

I haven't made them yet but I'm planning on some fun in the kitchen soon. I'm planning on baking bread & making homemade yogurt for the first time. The bread is an old recipe I've made several times but the yogurt is new to me.

[dianec42]

I'm so sorry to hear you got let go! That sucks!

Good luck!

Homemade yogurt sounds like an adventure! Good luck with that too. :)

[cornerofmadness]

Sorry about losing your job. Good luck with the job hunt

[soc_puppet]

Oh jeez, sounds like a sucky situation with your job; here's hoping you get snapped up quick by someplace even better! 🤞

Good luck with the yogurt! I hope it tastes good with the bread?
