soc_puppetMom followed me to school today to take pictures of me in my uniform and at work. We're practicing knife skills this week, and I am a perfectionist to the point of ridiculosity, which makes slicing potatoes take a while to say the least. I'm planning to practice more at home with fruits and veg and such, because practice is good and I need it :/
Tonight I'm going with a peach, since I'm planning to make applesauce pancakes and the only applesauce we have is peach-mango flavored and we have peaches in the fridge. I figure, brunoise it up, microwave it with some honey, maybe a little water, and then spread the results over the pancakes. Well, I think it'll work, at any rate. If not, I'll still have gotten more practice in. I should probably start with a small amount, see how that turns out, then go for the rest of the peach if it works. Worse comes to worst, I'll just have brunoised peaches on the side. Omnomnom.
I have become incredibly enamored with ear wraps of late. I keep staring at pictures on Etsy and reminding myself that, no, I don't have room in my budget for this, not even for the ultra cheap ones; I'm trying to save up for a 3DS so I can get one of the next Pokémon games when they come out.
I totally can't help it if they're the jewelry of my heart, though. Considering I already have wire, though, and wireworking tools, not to mention beads, I could probably manage to put together some of my own. I'll figure out a way to make it work. ...Eventually. When I'm not busy crocheting and/or writing (which I still only plan to get to next month).
Speaking of crochet, I've been working on getting my griffin pattern ready to go out the door. My goal is to get it out by the end of the month, but right now I'm hemming and hawing over the forelegs. My current design works, and it looks good, but it's also probably more complicated than it needs to be and difficult to explain to boot. I might change it out for something else, but I'd also need to make an alternate set of legs to take pictures of for that to work. Well, I am making a new seal-point griffin for how-to pics anyhow, I may as well give it a shot. I can probably use the claws from the mascot bird in the front, which just leaves the rear claw in question. Something to think about, at least.

Date: 2013-01-30 11:06 pm (UTC)We are snow ALL OVER right now, argh. To the point where class was canceled today :/ I don't like shoveling (though that probably has something to do with me being WAY out of shape) T-T
Okay, these images should print out to be the right size. If not, I can probably scale them again. The dark blue outline is the body of the wings and the light blue part is what I folded over the wire. Though I imagine you'll probably want to make them some shade of red? ;) Pattern zip: here.
Black beak with gray or pink cere, got it :3b (Yay, vocabulary!)
Perfect! I love giving people an excuse to try things they've wanted.
That's fine; I need to order some eyes in the right size/color for you anyhow. I'm totes looking forward to seeing how the opals turn out!
Ohohohoho, excellent >3
Hmm; the tips, probably, though lobes if it's the minimal ones.
