For reasons unknown to all three of us, Jet has picked up an Outrageously bad British Accent. He's clipping his words and turning them and he's doing it without even being entirely aware of it until we start giggling ( Read more... )

Hehehe, that sounds so cuuuute! Yeah, blame it all on Monty Python. It happens. My daughter and I do that. Speaking with accent is such fun and once it gets into you, you don't realize you're doing it or can't stop at will for some reason... XD

Yeah! He just can't stop. *laughs and laughs*

But we're all enjoying it.

I owe you one... for taking that other orchid... *laughs*

Do you have any preferences??

What? the orchid was beautiful! Is beautiful. I still have it in my box of work stuff, and will put it up when I get a new job. :)

*hugs you*

Yay! I'm glad you like it. Would you like another? With what I've learned from the wallpaper glue and all the other painting stuff I've been doing? Or maybe a chrysanthemum or bamboo or?

The origami is fun. The cards are utterly *lovely*. My favourites are both bamboo - the one that's top left in the picture, and the one that's center bottom - both of which are next to gorgeous flowers as well.

Thank you!! Yeah... I like those bamboo ones, too... and the flowers were fun and not too frustrating this time. I need to do more birds. Hm... *grins*

Yes! Origami is fun and we're spending a lot of time after school on it. *smiles*

The paintings are really pretty. You've come far fast in doing those (from when I first saw you wibbling over getting everything just so). I like the bamboo on the bottom right and the butterfly with the orchid at the top right. That splash of colour is just wonderful.

The dyed wool looks interesting. Is it going to stay that vibrant or is that because it's still setting/wet? That shade of blue looks gorgeous.

*grins* It's fun to see that improvement actually works. And, yeah, it's a lot easier now than before to just paint 'em.

It's still wet in that picture, and the roving was pretty thick, so not all the color saturated through all the wool, so it's a little paler than in the picture. Plus, since it is just wool and no silk, it didn't come out quite as brilliantly as the partially silk yarn.

I do love that shade of blue.

I would think that the patches of lighter blue (and other colours) would've made it even more interesting. Are you gonna show us what it looks like when it's all done drying/setting/whatever?
<--- is a yarn whore

Oh! Certainly! *grins* There are actually a lot of folks that joined my f-list 'cause of my spinning, dyeing, and knitting binges... so, yes, the yarn will be shown when it's finished, too.

Yeah... the lighter colors and the mixes are very nice, and the transitions are good and long because of how fat the roving is.

Josh loves the Outrageous Fake Accent, too. I'm not sure exactly what his fake accent is, but it includes the most adorable trilled R's in it.

We need to teach them more songs, so they won't keep playing Stop that! No singing! :)

And those cards are gorgeous! I love your flowers.

*giggles* It's amazing how many rules are chucked more from embarrassment than need...

Thanks about the cards! I'm having fun thinking about doing more of them.
