Projects in Process
Let's
see....
* Ongoing work on a website for my daycare. (Take the pictures, tweak the pictures, upload/caption the pictures, notify.... rinse and repeat.)
* Occasionally updating my journal. (I will write regularly. Dammit.)
* The Sweater That Will Not End. (I have one more sleeve to finish knitting, but I'm a little nervous that there might not be QUITE enough wool, so I'm hemming and hawing about "finishing." Have been for some time now.)
* A coloring book of the daycare kids, for the daycare kids. (May never finish it, but the occasional page goes over quite well.)
* An iDVD as well, same as above. (You so want an artist working at your daycare. You have no idea.)
* A baby doll I started (making it up as I went), but I hinged the legs wrong and threw it in a closet in disgust. (I've since figured out how to fix it, but haven't actually DONE it yet.... Also, I don't think I could physically throw a baby doll. And I didn't even have Toy Story as a kid.)
* A drop spindle I made and a bag of rabbit fur.... Who knows if it'll ever be a whole ball of yarn. (I get a pass there - spinning is amazing, but also very hand intensive... Unless of course I'm doing it wrong.)
* Knitting squares and ears so the daycare kids can stuff (and possibly try sewing? some of them, maybe) their own bunnies during our Summer of Textiles finale week.
* I have a bunch of these.... fake red berries (for flower arrangements) that are just dying to become a crown for my Evil Twin, something akin to the one I wore for my wedding.... (Yeah, we bought the berries before then... I'm pretty sure.)
* For several, SEVERAL years now I have been, off and on, working on a gargoyle for a dear friend. In recent years this work has mostly consisted of pulling "Max" out, glaring at him accusingly as though it's his choice to keep having all his limbs fall off like that, and shoving him back in the closet while I go off researching a new technique to maybe make him work. (Not to jinx anything, but there is the beginnings of a Max Revival beginning to take shape. SHUSH!)
* Maybe even longer ago, my sister gave me this really big bead. It's a sort of near-amber... whatever amber is before it finishes becoming amber. I'm supposed to be carving it, and still have every intention of doing so, I'm just afraid to ruin it with my early attempts at carving such things, and have never been able to settle on a design. It recently occurred to me that I could, were I so inclined, make some samples of the same size and shape out of plaster and try some things out.
* My never-ending paper Journal. That one has been getting lots of love in the last few days.
* Oh, hey? Guess what! I actually used to DRAW. Yeah, I know. Shocking. I'm trying to do that more lately. (The paper Journal has been helping.)
.... I know I'm forgetting things.... Karen? :)
