Found a small stowaway in a returned library book today

#ragsycon exclusive #I'm just. look at it!!!#is that not the sweetest thing ever.#it's an adult nonfiction book and this looks like a child's craft project #so i have to wonder if a kid didn't see their grownup reading about Charlotte's web and decided to make a Charlotte to go with it

Ahoy mateys! Just conquered the high seas and completed this epic Flying Dutchman 3D wooden puzzle! This intricate pirate ship was a true test of patience (and rum-drinking skills ) but the final result is a treasure to behold.

Currently getting crossfaded in my underwear while boiling some shoelaces in Kool aid to make them purple

Today is a good day :)

#being an adult had fun things in it too #sure its got taxes and worry #but its also got the ability to buy your own pizza rolls and make them whenever #and weird craft projects your mom cant say no to

Crafting update/crafting forecast! Short term: - I’ve made more progress on the floral crumb quilt (super fun, but going to take a while) - I’m going to embroider “fleece navidad” next to that tiny embroidered alpaca and turn it into an ornament - I’m going to crochet a tiny rainbow stegosaurus! That’ll probably be this afternoon - probably another Halloween something? - probably more embroidered flowers Longer term (aka holiday crafting): - a chicken - a binosaur - a dinosaur (yes those are two separate projects) - something octonauts themed?????? - something for my nieces (no idea what though) - minecraft quilt (for the kidlet I used to babysit! :D) - oh I might make my nieces beanies!! one a unicorn and one a cat - a crocodile - either a griffin, a cockatrice, or a cat in a fancy outfit. I have not decided yet - necklace chains for some pendants - four memory teddy bears Even longer term (aka stuff for the MTH charity auction, which has bidding next week): - another crocodile (this one will be crocodile Loki) - a Bucky Bear or Winter Soldier Bear - possibly more! I added tiers this year so I might make up to two plushies for each of three auctions (the first Jeff the Land Shark is already done)

#the person behind the yarn #crafting update #I sewed a BUNCH of the floral crumb quilt #but it's still at the 'trust the process' stage #which is always fun when I'm making the process up as I go lol #wooooooooooooo it's crunch time #for holiday crafting #that said: I only really have three projects to get out by mid december #(three kids that are not local I give presents to)#and two by late december (two kids who live closer to me I give presents to)#everyone else on my list to make stuff for is adults and if their presents are late it's not ideal but it's okat #*okay #...that said it's mid-october and I need to order fabric for the quilt for the kidlet #so maybe that's what I'll do this afternoon #or I'll text the kidlet's mom and see if she can bend the 'no more plushies' rule for me if I also make the kidlet #a plushie storage net thing #I understand the plushie storage struggle but also I want to make him plushies #oh my gosh maybe I can make a little octonauts hat and octonaut boots slippers #to give to a certain toddler who loves octonauts

i dont have an actual name for it but depressed college au is probably one of my favorites. i dont really care for the adults in paranatural and thinking about how the activity club/others might grow up and continue their lives is so much more interesting to me

#i started reading this comic when i was 15? i think? and now im recently 23. i cant really say i relate or want to relate to 12 year olds an #y more. and yeah i prefer a lot more nuance and complexity when crafting+ reading stories #but when your protags are 12. well. yeah pass #pnats adults are fine but the kids are the ones i have any actual emotional interest or compulsion towards #so when i write something that might be less 'yippee whimsical wacky adventures' and the options are spender and zarei. again theyre fine bu #t i dont really care enough about spender and zarei #but i still want to write about adults you know. BEING 12 was hard enough you could not PAY me to go back into that headspace #honestly thats actually why most of wizard au takes place in their later school years #like you know those aged up mob psycho 100 aus. where mob is like a fireman and ritsu is an english major and theyre not exactly having epic #adventures anymore but theyre coming into themselves etc. god. thats the stuff 2 me #i used to hate aged up aus as a teenager bc i thought it was the author/artists excuse to put kids in weird situations. and idk considering #it was 2015. yeah fair. but i do think i get it now. teenage years are hard and theres a certain part of that hardness that i love. things #like growing up [from a 17yo perspective] and people you love going to college and trying to find yourself and dealing w friends and fear #for the future. THOSE are the kind of teen stories i like reading about. but when you start getting tired and mellowing out and things that #come with the end of college and grad school and growing up [from a 22yos perspective] is similar. but its more somber. youre older now #when the protagonists become people. thats what i like #wizard au is fun as a huge intense magical adventure project but depressed college au is just like. where i can project.#drinking an entire pack of mikes hard lemonade by myself and lying on the floor talking to friends about how im scared and pushing myself #towards a career that i love but dont know i can achieve. friends leaving. getting an apartment for the first time. and the second and #the third. that feels better when i can sit down and go 'okay. someday isabel will do this too. i might not understand. my friends might not #understand. nobody could understand and i could be alone. but max woke up with a hangover today and i know what that feels like' etc #idk just feels better. taking your favorite characters with you while you go through things. by which i mean #'taking my favorite characters and making them go through things'#you want them to be safe and happy and having fun. i want them to feel fear. we both know what we want from fiction and treasure each #depressed college au

The Polite Ransacker and the Boy with the Rocktopus

Hey there! Well, look who’s back after a little rendezvous with life’s chaotic rollercoaster! It’s been a whirlwind, let me tell you. I’ve survived some questionable culinary adventures (failed homemade mac’n’cheese), played detective when my car turned into a crime scene, and worn the “bad cop” hat with my kids more times than I care to admit. But amidst the madness, there was a shining moment…

Emptied and moved the shelves (after dismantling the anchors holding them together), got the rug in place, and now I'm working on putting everything back. There will be some amazing bruises on my arms tomorrow, as well as the toe that I crushed. I've got a few more changes that I'm thinking about before I'm done for the day (also still need to run over to my mother in law's place but she doesn't wake up until late so I'm not rushing).

#birdy tries to be a good adult #this would have been a lot easier if i had put the rug down before i built the shelves #but i don't always think ahead when it comes to my stuff so this is also pretty common #I'll have to vacuum the rug once everything is completely done and put away #but i love this little corner now #i can't wait to set up my lamp and chair and just relax with my craft projects

Hobby Hoppers Express: Decoupage & You

The Hobby: Decoupage (French for "cutting out" ): This centuries old hobby and art form involves using tools such as a brayer, scissors, synthetic polymer brush, sealer, crafting knife, burnisher, cutouts (usually paper but fabric can be used too), and lots of glue. You glue your paper cutouts onto a surface of your chose using a variety of tools and techniques, and then apply the needed sealer for the project.

The Book: Stuck On Murder (A Decoupage Mystery #1) by Lucy Lawrence

The Book Blurb:

"In the small New England town of Morse Point, Brenna Miller glosses over her painful past by watching her decoupage students create eye-catching projects out of cutouts, glue, and varnish. But when the mayor's body is found stuffed in a trunk at Morse Point Lake, it's up to Brenna to clear her enigmatic landlord's name of murder-before his fate is signed, sealed and delivered."

The Project: Decoupage Flowerpot

My Book Thoughts:

I got Stuck on Murder because I have cozy mysteries and to be honest I had never heard of decoupage until checking out this book. Yet I gave great tips about decoupage projects so much so that I wanted to try my hand in this super old hobby that even Marie Antoinette did from time to time.

I checked Lazy Crafternoon out from my local library and I love how cute the projects are and how many I already have a lot of the supplies for and I will say the crafts are very late 90s/early 2000s.

The Cast and Crew Don’t Deserve Your Hate

I know many of us feel hurt and betrayed by NATLA. I know this. I feel the same.

Please stop cursing Albert Kim and the production crew. The fact is, he inherited a huge mess that was already behind schedule. Studios nowadays want the fastest turn around possible and are willing to pour money into projects.

But not time.

I’ve said it before, but LOTR is the absolute gold standard for production. They took years of pre-production time to hand craft their costumes and props and wigs. They hired artisans to hand make tunics and chainmail by hand. They sourced and layered real human hair for their hair pieces. It was incredible.

GOT also attempted something similar though not nearly at the same scale.

That’s why both of these productions have such fantastic and realistic feeling costumes, wigs, and props.

Modern studios just want fast turn around. They’ll pour in money but they want it fast. That’s why the modern takes on LOTR and GOT (ROP and HOTD) look like mediocre cosplay by comparison. The stylists are doing their best, but there’s only so much you can do with so little time.

That’s exactly what’s happened here. You can tell in how awful all the wigs and beards look, even compared to the Shyamalan film of all things! It’s why you can see machine stitching and the fabrics aren’t thick enough to pass for animal pelts. It’s why Iroh’s beard looks like it’s going to fall off, and Yue’s hair looks like a Lego piece, and Azula’s bangs are visibly attached extensions of a completely different sort from the rest of the synthetic wig. It’s why Zuko’s scar looks like a birthmark and not a burn.

It’s why the bending, despite having impressive animation, doesn’t line up well with the actors’ movements and feels pasted on. Almost as if the artists and fight choreographers didn’t get to communicate and plan together.

It’s why the scripts are a poorly juggled mish mash of plots, with threads left to hang in the wind while others are so oversimplified that it feels like a playschool version of ATLA rather then the “adult” version it’s supposed to be.

And it’s why the the Chinese writing is grammatically a mess like they just ran it through Google translate.

I have nothing but respect for Albert Kim and the cast and crew that worked tirelessly to bring this disaster to life under these conditions.

I worry about the poor crew being put through some awful crunch time for this show…

Yes it’s bad. But it’s not only bad as a piece of media. It’s bad as an indicator of what studios prioritize now, and it’s neither audiences nor their own staff.

Oh Brother, where art thou...

One of the things I requested as a gift once I became an “adult” is a sewing machine. It struck me as the sort of thing a real adult would have. (Like a tool bag with a set of socket wrenches and a drill -which I also own via gifting from other more accomplished adults in my life). My mother- who taught me how to operate her old machine- obliged for my 24th birthday (or Christmas?).

She bought me a “Brother” Sewing machine- apparently its a good one....

That machine sat in its box for two years gathering dust

Next thing you know its 2020 and I’m on hiatus from work and basically confined to my one bedroom apartment for the foreseeable future. I then decided to actually break that baby out to make myself a face mask or three. Then, once i got the hang of it. I was sewing scraps together and calling it a quilt for my cats. I got it into my head to make an actual quilt.

Like the dumbass I pretend not to be, I just started cutting squares. I didn’t really measure or pin or anything like that. I just went.

It was only AFTER I had a lot of the patchwork completed that I actually looked up how to make a quilt. I had thought I was nearly finished at that point. It was a bit of a rude awakening...

It took me sooo many hours spread out over months to complete. It didn’t help that my cats had decide the sewing machine and all the fabric it spawned was the perfect toy to play with

But, I completed the Quarantine Quilt before the end of 2020. I felt so accomplished! ( even if it is terribly uneven and already starting to split in places...)
