I’m doing my first crochet-along this year. One block a month to make 1 blanket by the end of the year. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/pretty-petals—12-square is the 12″ square of the month.
And have a hat that curled up on the pattern.
So, I’ve been playing this a bit in beta, and since launch. Now that my computer is worth a damn, I can actually enjoy playing it. So I joined up with some fellow goons started playing. I’ve also joined up with another group of goons on an rp-pvp server in a guild called “Oldlings”. To join, other than being a goon, your first character in guild must be an elderly jedi and play till you get your ship. So I made Sta’nah (too much Castle lately and I like her name), an old Jedi Consular at the moment. She’s probably going to go healer though not 100% sure what she’s going to do yet. Am thinking her back story, if asked, will be kind of like Shepard from Firefly. You know, pretty sure it wasn’t pretty but it was never explained by him in show. (I know about the comic book, just never read.)
Anyway, have a badass granny shot!
My cute little haul from my santa, Urban Wizard. Some candy, a manicure set (the little red kit), an awesome Edward Gorey card, and polish. Orly wild wisteria & fantasea, China Glaze ruby pumps tiny bottle, lightning bolt crackle, and Pure Ice new lilac, naughty girl, & mint dream.
And unfortunately, the little kitten passed away yesterday at the vet as they were starting to treat her impaction. Chris picked her up this morning to take her out to the farm to bury her. She may have only been with us here for a couple days, but she was loved and snuggled the whole time. Even Chibi was interested in her, on her own terms.
Ordered the new computer last night, room enough now for the new kitty’s incoming vet bills. Though she (we think) won’t be coming home for 3 more weeks. I’m waiting until she hits 12 weeks as apparently it’s healthier for a kitty by that age for the location change, knows how to be a kitty and personality all develop by then along with learning to not eat from mom and using the dirt pile/litter.
I was out looking for the Niki Minaj or however her name is set. Found out the Paul Mitchell school here sells things. And apparently usually gets all the sets before the stores. So, I had out badly today.
Two large glitters from Claries, DS Extravagance & Reflection, Metallic 4 life & Super Bass shatter from PM, the 4 finger paints, and CVS got me Wet n’ Wild Hanna Pinktana, I only eat salads from their Spoiled line, and Essie’s As gold as it gets.
It’s been a long couple of months

I guess I just haven’t been feeling up to posting since Lupin & Sammy. Though I’ve definitely have been working. Did a blanket for Chibi as after Loopy as I realized she didn’t have one. Making a round ripple blanket at the moment. Been making scarves, a crab, little things.
Chris and I decided we’re going to look at what happened and come out with things we’re going to do more next time. More pictures is at the top of the list.
Well, going to add some pictures, update ravelry and then get some Star Wars: The Old Republic on for a while.
Lupin 2002ish – 9-27-2011
Sammy 1997ish (We got her in 2005 or 6ish) – 10-9-2011
It’s been awhile. Again. Nothing special has been going on with nails or even drawing. Randomly working on drawing ponies for a My Little Pony plan; Coming up with furniture my husband needs to make so we can have some room; and relearning crochet. Again. I’ve randomly tried to learn crochet through out my life, do it too tight and quit. Taught myself knitting once. So I now have a whole mess of needles, crochet & knitting, a bunch of books my mom let me have and a couple I’ve bought and a ton of patterns scavenged from across the interwebs. So far, I haven’t touched the knitting yet, that’ll come after I feel more comfy with crochet. I have made a few things to date: a lap blanket/dog blanket cause the Sammy loves it, an owl, and 3 scarves, which have all gone to the same friend since she likes scarves. They just work great for learning I think, which is why I picked up Learn a Stitch Create a Scarf. Currently, I’m making the first scarf in that.
I’ve also picked up a bunch of nail polish and am slowing down my buying finally. Grabbed a 7 box set of Color Club neon from T J Maxx for $10. As I was water marbling, I found out that they’re also scented. Color club is a brand that I’ve never had any problems using to water marble my nails. This time was just filled with a strong grape smell on top of it all.
Time for some pictures! All crochet is done with red heart colors from years ago, as it was scavenged from mom. The owl is a multicolor pink, blue and white. The blanket is a multicolor purple, green and magenta. The current scarf is made of 3 colors, thus allowing me to work on long double crochet and changing colors, dusty rose, green and blue.
Let’s start the month off with some pictures of nails! First up are my naked nails. No polish of any kind. Just Cleaned up. The pink ones are a kind of cup cakey thing I thought I’d try and came out neat but not really happy with the glitter or more correctly how much I put on. And the blue ones are my current nails. A nice blue with Bundle Monster circles stamped on them in a rimmel metallic blue. A rhinestone was put in the center of the big circle.
Here are some kind of orky nails my hubby came up with for some Warhammer 40k themed nails.
