We were without power for 8 days - we got lights back yesterday around 3PM. I've been updating on facebook for the whole week, keeping my foreign friends informed, and yesterday I decided to change up my update:

Science Officer's Log, Day 8. We are still running on auxilliary power. The Chief Engineer thinks maybe we'll have the warp engines back ( Read more... )

Well I'm almost halfway through the month, and I've been keeping up with the 30 days of creativity challenge. Blog posts here, and if you just want to see pictures, you can check out this Pintrest board (I actually really like this photo bookmarking service - it's great to keep track of image searches one does for inspiration and research).

I've ( Read more... )

I've been buried under all sorts of projects, work, and deadlines, so I haven't been keeping up with the blogging here or anywhere, really. Getting readiy for the Big Quilt Show this weekend, and neice's wedding the next. The only good thing about it is that once these are over with, they are OVER with, and I can get on with the rest of my to do ( Read more... )

...be with you. Happy Star Wars day. I know I'm overdue for an accountability update, but it's going to look rather lame as I don't feel like I've managed to finish anything in April on the personal front except maybe gain a few pounds.

I dropped out of the parent group on Sunday. I am not a laissez-faire memeber of the organization since my ( Read more... )

Chaos Theory is quilted and bound, and only needs a label made and then affixed on the back. Also needs to be photographed.

I also made a mug cozy for the Iron Craft challenge this week (I've managed to submit things for the last 2 weeks, and we'll see how that goes). I am actually using it this morning, as my tea mug is much to hot to hold.

I'll be ( Read more... )

After at least 18 months, I can park my car in the garage again! The car's been in there since Sunday night, actually, due to the Herculean efforts of my husband (rearranging the remaining items to one side of the garage ( Read more... )

I keep wanting the costume sewing to be finished... but I think I'm short some poufy shirts. I stupidly handed out a bunch of things over A MONTH AGO to the kids and said "take these home and wash them" and most of them are not back yet. So it's really hard to tell what belongs with what at the moment. I don't have a dedicated wardrobe mistress (I ( Read more... )

I was sketching this while waiting for my laptop to be returned and then a video render. This is an "excerpt" from a larger piece that isn't inked yet, because I need to do some anatomy research before I can finish it..

and I have 3 trash bags full of shredded papers that were in my father's large file cabinet, still. I also have a sizable stack of bowling award patches. Apparently, he was a pretty good bowler. I didn't want to simply toss them, so I'm thinking of making a bowling pin costume and covering it with the patches. Or something like that. I find it ( Read more... )

In the office:

• curtains are hanging properly from curtain rods
• 4 Billy bookcases have been schlepped from Ikea, assembled and placed in their upright positions
• 11 boxes that were on the second floor are unpacked.

and I have clean clothes for the week, and folded towels.

I also discovered a decent couch online that is 1/3 of the price of the other couch ( Read more... )
