Digging for treasure?
My offer is up at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
help_haiti! If you've ever wanted a plush thing made by me, and want an excuse to donate to the Haiti relief effort, this is the perfect opportunity ;) (So nervous, omg *_*)
While you're there, feel free to take a look around the community as a whole, or consider donating something yourself. There's a bunch of people offering all sorts of different things, from BNFs with offers of fics and/or art, to Little Kuriboh of YuGiOh! Abridged fame offering a video with vocals. Check it out :3b

Still working on cleaning my room. I've made considerable progress since when I started, but there's still a ways to go.
Among the piles, I managed to find some of the flashcards I made for myself in the one semester of Spanish I took. I've got eight verbs, fourteen adjectives, and one-and-a-half seasons(?). They're completely adorable, if I do say so myself :)
I also found the Zatar bread recipe I thought I'd lost forever ago. I'll be sticking it up here, in case A) I lose the paper it's written on again, and/or B) someone else is interested in making it.
The recipe is as follows:
Zatar Bread
For the Zatar:
2 T sesame seeds
3 T thyme
1/2 t salt
1 t sumac
Mix together.
For the bread:
2 t yeast
2 T olive oil
2 1/2 C water
5 C bread flour
2 T gluten
3 t salt
1/4 C Zatar
Put in a bread machine on "dough" cycle (or just mix yourself, I guess?)
Line two cookie sheets with olive oil; spread the dough on them, then flatten it out.
Bake at 400°F for about 18 minutes.
This stuff is quite tasty, IMO, so consider giving the recipe a try if you're not allergic to any of it/can find all the ingredients (the sumac can be a total pain to find).
I'd best get to distracting myself, now; otherwise, I'll just end up staring at my computer screen, waiting and hoping for my inbox to become un-empty.

I will email you my address, though! Also ftr I still have not gotten my paper receipt in the mail from Doctors Without Borders (which is pissing me off because I want to file my taxes already). orz

Sounds great :Db And yeah, I was wondering about that. The nice hope would be that they're so overrun by donations that they're having trouble keeping up, but that still doesn't help out with taxes at the moment. I've already confirmed you at the comm, though, so that's one worry down at least?

But yeah, no stolen pink dragon-thing plush, you need not worry on that account! (Whenever I work on him in public, people are all like, "Oh hey, what is that! Is it a bunny? Wait, it has wings. A griffin? An angel bunny?" And I have to be all like, "Er, it's kinda a dragon?" And yeah. OH, CHARACTER DESIGNS.)

ALSO. Since you mentioned it, I decided to take WIP pictures, so you could see how he's going so far~
Ultimate Showdown of Distractiony Things; also a convenient size reference. Burupya-In-Progress vs. (folded) Nintendo DS. WHO WILL WIN.
All things completed, that is, head/ears/horns/mane/body plus as-yet-unattached wings and leg. I've got three more legs, the tail, and his facial features/ruff (plus stitching everything together) left to go, but it shouldn't be more work than everything else so far, so! ONWARD! TO
ADVENTURECROCHET!Edit: Ack! How did both of those links turn out to be the same thing! Curse my misclicking ways... (Should be fixed now. Edit 2: ...Or not. One more time!)

I also wanted to say! He is now FINISHED!
Front Side
His wings are actually pretty floppy, so I can add a bit of wire to them to make them more likely to actually stay in whatever pose you put them in, if you'd like. Other than that, he's all ready to go in the mail - which I will do either tomorrow or Saturday, unless you are still having mail problems or want me to hold onto him longer for some other reason.

I'm glad you like him~ And wireless is less trouble for me, so that works well X3 He'll go in the mail some time tomorrow, then, so I guess expect him in the next week ^____^ ♥♥♥ (TAKE HIM EVERYWHERE AND ADVERTISE FOR ME - wait, I might never get around to doing anything else, or get really bad crochet burn out, uh. WELL, FEEL FREE TO DO IT ANYWAY, and that way people will be extra excited whenever I decide to offer my amigurumi services, ohohoho! [/evil laugh])
