Dear self,

No, posting over at [community profile] queerly_beloved still doesn't count as posting over here. Maybe you should think about cross-posting?

Yours,

In other news, I'm finally getting some work done on a creative project I've been planning for a while: Ocean in a Jar. It starts with a large, clear plastic jar (cylindrical for preference); add in one crocheted mermaid, two to four crocheted sea creatures (dolphin, stingray, octopus, maybe turtle?), and an ocean play mat (two fat quarters sewn back-to-back (corners rounded off, lace around the edges), to look like a little patch of ocean/water, so the mermaid and friends are never stuck on dry land). Optional: Glue some sandy-colored fabric to the top/outside of the jar lid to make a little island.

Mermaid and two of a planned three sea creatures are finished; the jar still needs to be rinsed out and attacked with Goo Gone, and then I can make the lid an island; the play mat is cut and pinned together and just needs to be sewn. Once it's done, the plan is to donate it to a local worker justice group for their ten year anniversary silent auction fundraiser thing. I hope it does well!
