Crafting report!

[soc_puppet]

I'd host an entry at justcreate, but I don't have the spoons, bleh. Anyway!

I've completed the crochet business part of the three large brain slugs for our family Xmas card this year. Now they just need eyes and hair clips, and they'll be done! ...And then Mom wants me to make a little one for the dog, but those take much less time and energy.

I also decided I was finally ready to go look at buying feed corn for heating/cooling bags this weekend; I was hoping for a bag of less than twenty pounds, but the farm store I went to only had forty pound bags. Luckily, the most expensive of those was still less than fifteen dollars, so I went ahead and bought one! I'll have plenty for however many heating/cooling bags I want to make (at least one for me, one for each of my coworkers, and my dad has requested one), and then the rest I can just... make more bags until I run out of fabric and/or use to feed local wildlife. Squirrels and birds won't be turning down a little extra corn in the winter, I can tell you that much.

I made sure to dig up all of the flannel I have stashed in various places in my room, and I've got ten fat quarters from the clearance section of Joann's, as well as some remnants I picked up today, and around two yards of generic winter-themed flannel I got on clearance in, what, January of this year? It's a fairly cute non-denominational pattern that I think at least a few of my coworkers will love. The fat quarters will get me at least one bag each, so even with just those I'm well set, but I think I'll probably have an excess with the others 😂 Guess I'll try to hit up some of my more distant coworkers as well!

I was hoping to make the update to kittens_and_spitefic about mixed rating posts today, but, well, spoons. It also occurred to me not two hours ago that, for the same reasons people might want to post prompts anonymously, they might want to post fills anonymously, so I want to set up a post for that as well. Damn community needs half a dozen pinned posts and I only get two; I wonder if I can increase the number with a paid account... I'm hoping to knock those out tomorrow evening, since I submitted the community to copperbadge's Radio Free Monday announcements. Fingers crossed for me! Maybe I can start drafting the posts out on scrap paper during breaks at work tomorrow...

Is that all for now? Yes, I think it is.

The problem is, the majority of prompt posts are community locked, and I don't know if it's possible to comment anonymously on those. If I'm wrong, of course, then there's no problem, and that much less for me to do!

oh hm, well since one can comment anonymously while logged in (and therefore able to see the page) i’d figured it was possible but i’m not sure. happy to help test if necessary!

As you can see from Alex's response, it is indeed not an option; I just checked myself now that I have a few minutes of downtime, and yeah, Dreamwidth explicitly says "You cannot leave anonymous comments on a protected entry." So I guess I'll be going through with that little extra bit of work. Good thing I already have anonymous prompting set up and can work backwards from there!
