AT ANY RATE yes I'm alive, yes I am busy, yes I ...still knit.

For those of you who knit, or are just starting, or are just thinking about starting, this is for you:

A new pattern is available on Lulu (epub file) by Cal Treves.

New hashtag word: #Hedgehoggieness ❤️ A bit of spine, indeed.

I think I'm still alive? Fall Festival was a success, sold rocks and a hand-sewn Teddy Bear, plus have a bear already paid for that I have in -process, plus more in the pile (why make just one when I have the ability to churn out more in case the folks that showed interest are still interested? And/or I can just sell the others online?), and paintings were a big novelty but only three of the eleven went away to new homes...

...I only sold one scarf. Seriously. I'm standing there with $2 hand knit scarves, and people want my rocks like whoa. I almost didn't take them.

Also have a side project for angel wings, Halloween costume. Free gig. Because I like to challenge myself sometimes. And I don't like taking money for self-challenges.

Love to you and yours out there, I know I don't say much. <3

New fashion statement?

2021-06-22T02:57:48Z

I'm a shoe designer, now. Apparently.

Share if you wish, especially if you think there's someone you know who might be interested. (I think they're kickin'.)

For inspiration?

...how about doodling your characters on an outing? Doesn't matter where, but we could all meet at the fair. ^^;

(Ink in a notebook, but I'm trying to color it on my phone. -_-;

You can never have too many sheep.

2020-06-05T11:03:25Z

Okay, this is the Sheep!Collection. It is, by no means, finished.

And there are stickers now available, but I can't keep myself awake much longer.... x_x

Thank you for your purchases, I hope they find you well! :D

Sheep!

Also? Feel free to pass the link around. The more the merrier, the way I see it - I'd like to know there's a bunch of people ready to smile at new cards and such, maybe that will put a good reason to me staying up all hours. <3

They have square note cards!

2020-06-04T12:16:33Z

I know, I'm posting a bunch of cards at random.

I have my reasons.

Sheep! :D

Sheep! BLANK Note Card

by TheImprintedGoose

I actually submitted the drawing (b/w photocopy, actually) to the Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival in 2005 for the image contest re: 2006 book, etc.

Why a b/w photocopy? This smooth paper is BEAUTIFUL and SLEEK and... tears too easily. I would never dare send it by post.

comments

Whee!

2020-06-02T08:57:33Z

I'm still up at almost 5am. I know.
I'm making stuff. :P

Sharing is caring, so long as it's legal. ^^;

Norse Horse - BLANK card

by TheImprintedGoose

Not only that, but I made a little stamp for the back! :D. So now the little signature squiggle on the artwork has a pal with a signature squiggle name beneath it~

comments

I did it! :D

2020-06-01T06:05:10Z

I can now say that I have finally gotten one of my best works on a card. <3 There are a few others up, and more to come, cards and more - should time allow. There's even one up for Christmas! :D

NO WHERE NEAR THE GOOD BITS YET (I can't wait to see Stella slap him. Multiple times. :D )

Hopefully that works. If it doesn't? Eh. >>;

Rude awakening this afternoon upon overhearing a phone call.

I always forget. I don't pay attention. I can't calculate time.

I say that I feel like I'm stuck in 2004 far too often. My mind stays in 2005-06: June? I feel just fine other than a few storms passing. The rest of the year and the beginning of the next, too.

February comes, and things start to get off-kilter. March, my mind wanders. April, I'm in a state of 'blah' and my work slacks off.

May is coming.

I forgot that May is coming, and I should have known better. May puts me into a mental whirlwind of emotions that I can't shake. Then June comes and I start the loop again, feeling better and forgetting I just leapt through hell.

If you don't understand the backstory I've not stated, don't worry about it. I'll just be an emotional basket case for a small amount of time.

Hopefully not long - world issues are pulling at me, I'm constantly stressed, and I creep into Subeta and my knitting for comfort. I don't want to pull anyone down with me. This is always my burden - more sleep, more inattentive behavior, more crawling up and trying to figure out where to place my next chess piece.

One down. I lost count a long time ago.

2020-04-20T07:06:35Z

Monday, Monday is now finished, complete with author's notes.

Also? OMG I forgot I had Quick Fix up on Teaspoon! :D

I keep forgetting how many avenues I walk down, only counting steps taken

2020-04-18T10:34:15Z

I know. "What does that title even *mean*?! "

I forget that I have accounts on LJ, DW, Twitter, dA, and so on. Between lack of time and lack of attention? I post on Facebook because it is just easier - I hide in Subeta because I need downtime. Everything else blurs.

I can say this: I have almost finished transferring a bit of fanfic from paper to digital. Once the last chapter is up, I'll even put an author's directory to references throughout (as there are a good handful, especially since no one knows who Jean-Marc Dumas is or where he came from or why he's with her).

Life is hard - fan fiction is harder when you're putting too much thought into it. Especially when you don't include any of the usual fan fiction main characters into the mix....

Monday, Monday

I amuse myself, sometimes.

2020-03-26T12:01:32Z

There was a masque thread on Subeta (don't look at me like that - I have my amusements as much as others Pokemon go and all that other stuff I've no inclination towards) about dancing. That's what the masque is, a "dance" - I actually spent an hour and a half intentionally declining them so they could get the Denied! Achievement.

Ahem.

At any rate, this thread was one of those silly "in my pants" blurbs. To be placed behind a song title. And 'you remind me of the babe" popped into my head. I scrapped the ball gown for the Goblin King garb I had collected randomly last week - tweaked it, as the items combined were hideous - and...

"Dance Magic Dance" (in my pants) because it is a "Good Good Day" (in my pants)!

...was posted in response.

Was my brain wrong? It slaps me more than you might think.

Am I in my right to go with songs both Bowie and Cave? "You better bet your life." <3

Don't mind me, I'm researching.

Baby shark...

The baby shark song IS NOT NEW. Try finding it under 4-H Baby Shark song - old as me if not older, I swear.

I'm all over the place -_-; I've spent the first hour catching up, the second hour flitting between pages, and the third is still up for grabs.

Please note:

Saturday, May 6th, and Sunday, May 7th (2017)?
MARYLAND SHEEP & WOOL FESTIVAL!! :D Not going, but I've wanted to be able to go since 1999.

Why 1999? I took second place in an essay competition for the chance to win a purebred registered katadin ewe lamb. I've been wanting to go there ever since (and actually used the show as an excuse that year to get out of feeling guilty for telling someone no to their prom invite).

[...] There's a $5.oo fee :O It's always been free ;_; But still - if anyone goes (doubtful), make sure you take LOTS of friggen pictures :D

Life, so silly.

2017-04-18T12:30:31Z

Not enough time to do everything, but I can say that I'll have my old 'separate' art journal transfered over soon to midnights_pawn. I'll get jingle_jangle sorted out at some point, but I'll probably just keep that on LJ anyway. Bother the Republic, I'm my own--

Wait a tick. Why did LJ make me sign *DING!* on jingle_jangle and midnights_pawn, but not stellie?

Am I a--

(No, couldn't be.)

--spy?

EDIT: Oh, look! ~~A distraction!~~ Mood-Bunnies!

Going back through some of my old LJ posts I've found a few things that have interested me a bit. Doesn't really matter, now, for some of them - I don't belong to them anymore.

Here's two that might pop back into memory for some, but I doubt it.

The Johari and Nohari Windows.

Yes, it has been a very, very long time. I'm due for a repeat, as I am no longer me.

Hurrah.

Sit. Stay. Good blog.
