Is card stitching okay?

And can I take photos of my progress instead of writing about it?

I don't get what's with this words counting...

kitty_fic October 1 2016, 22:04:49 UTC

Card stitching is definitely okay!
Though you do need to include at least a small summary or list or outline that explains your process or what it is you made and how it relates to fandom.

By any chance, would coloring count? I have a Beauty and the Beast-themed adult coloring book and I was hoping perhaps that would work. I'm not creating it from scratch, though, so I totally understand if not. I'm just not creative in any of the other ways you mentioned, so I figured I'd ask lol!

Perfect timing, just tonight I actually made a full meal for my brother, sister in law, and nephew, with placemats and everything! Soup (clear soup with green onions and meatballs), roast tomato salad, rice, grilled shishito peppers, and chicken kara-age (Japanese style fried chicken, not shown because it didn't fit in the photo). My favorite part of the meal is the dipping sauce for the chicken, which is made of soy sauce, grated ginger, and green onions. And a dash of rice vinegar. Came out great! Plus it seems light and healthy even though the chicken is crunchy and fried ( ... )

Mmmm, sounds delicious! What fandom does it represent?

catko October 5 2016, 05:02:50 UTC

Oh I rambled on so much I forgot to say. My bro, SIL, and nephew and I were going to watch My Neighbor Totoro, so this Japanese meal was in honor of that. We also had rice with umeboshi in it, like they did....

Okay, so I've been obsessed with OMG Check Please! recently, and if you know OMGCP, you know that the main character Bitty is all about hockey, boys and pie. Since I've never baked a pie in my life, I figured it was about time. So in honour of Eric Bitty Bittle, I decided to bake a pie.

Of course, today's a holiday in my country so no shops are open, so I had to use what I could. The pie turned into a Banana Tart Tatin because I had bananas and not much else in the way of fruit, but I'm sure Bitty would have appreciated the effort. *g* (And I'm sure the rest of the boys would eat just about anything...)

I used this recipe and started with the dough early this morning. Since there are four ingredients, it was pretty easy. After a few hours, I started the filling. And realized I didn't own a pie form... /o\ BUT I do own a small heart-shaped baking dish, so I ended up using that. Whatever works, right?

Anyway, things went pretty smoothly after that. And the Banana Tart Tatin turned out pretty tasty.

Didn't know what to do, but the discussion up there in the question thread made me think of cupcakes. Can't actually bake any because we have no oven (and while I love baking them I am not much for eating them and neither is dance_the_dance, so...) but since we have a Pinkie Pie action figure I got the idea of making a cupcake / cake for the action figures. For that, I made a really small pancake and put it in a bottle lid. Then I put some frosting and some decoration on it, which was really fun, even though it was harder than I anticipated, because the frosting wouldn't stay the way I wanted it to be, I think I put too little powdered sugar, and I obviously made the mistake I always make of putting the frosting on the still warm (pan)cake, LOL. But well, it turned out okay after a little stint in the fridge.

I then arranged Janeway, Seven (who is basically incapable of sitting, seriously, what?), Deanna and Pinkie Pie around the cake that they really loved sharing, even though Deanna was pouty that there was no chocolate in it.

I just wanted to say that this was so cool and a lovely way to use your action figures!

Loved it! :-D Made me smile and just what I needed to lift my spirits up before heading to bed, so thank you! :D

Recently I discovered card stitching, so I decided to go with that.
I probably should have made my own pattern, but it's only my third card, so I found this nice image of a rose.
Now, normal people would just print this pattern, but since my printer is a nasty little rebel that refuses to co-operate with my laptop, I got to be creative.
So, I taped a piece of baking paper to the laptop screen and I copied the pattern with a pencil. Lots, and lots of dots.
Grabbed my construction paper pad with dyed coloured sheets and picked a nice yellow one. Taped the pattern to it and copied it with a needle. Lots and lots of dots, so that part was really tiresome.
Then, I used my new shiny and sparkly threads (and scissors and tape, because knots are bad) to make the Rose from Beauty and the Beast.
Then I glued it to another coloured sheet and finally it was done!

Wow, that looks amazing. Now that's a card you keep!

Thank you! ♥
