It’s a sick day from the day job after I woke up head spinning. So we’re take a break from the little quilts to begin the dissection and prep for a new t-shirt quilt.

Stand by an Office Manager who will smack the shit out of a Wednesday morning at 6:30 AM for you.

Just finished the girl’s blanket top. With some changes mid-project to incorporate the orange fabric squares, this one reminds me of a sunset with butterflies and stars ✨🦋🌅.

I think it might be one of my favorites yet.

Main fabric squared are cut. I broke the steam button on my iron so that will be fun to figure out. I changed up the boy color tones after digging out some better matches. These are going to be so cute!

Per usual, the Senior Office Manager is supervising.

2 rows of fabric squares are lined up with four different kinds of fabric used each. One in pastel masculine tones on the left and one with pink and purple feminine tones on the right. A tuxedo cat with medium fur and a bow tie stands at the corner of a coffee table with quilt supplies on it.

The Junior Office Manager teamed up with Acehubby to wake me up from my 10 hour deep sleep.

It’s finally Saturday; time for crafts, creativity, and exploration.

He did not, in fact, put her down.

Elaine kicked on August’s shoulder as he held her over it. His hand clenched on the scarf tied around her stomach as he turned to make his way towards the exit of the high lord’s hall. Her hand slammed against his suit covered back as she snarled, “put me down you Easter Bunny FUCK! August huffed a low chuckle as he did no such thing, his stride quickening though as she raised her voice in pitch, “‘fraid not, darling. Safest thing now is to get you home.”

The tall trickster rabbit spirit (puca) stood tall, his full height of 6’4” feeling like a cliff as he cradles the 5’ 2”, frightened and bound, woman in his arms. With an exasperated and annoyed sigh, he mutters, “you are in fact, not a Daniel.” As she stares up at him with wide eyes. Disgruntled, he begins to carry the freckled woman away to his home.

An exasperated puca was expecting a strapping lad that could help him with hijinks as an offering from the local village.

Not a mousy tourist that is rather petrified she’s got a new roommate (and room for that matter) in the damn spirit and fae realm.

Happy spooky season!!!

Sketch-a-day quick sketches I’ve done since I picked it back up earlier this month. I started this back in 2017, and now it’s 8
years later and I have two- this one for work and one for life. They often end up blended.

Sometimes your party artillerist turns in her fat ass, slow-walking starship destroyer (Barbarossa) for violations of the three pillars (Genghis).

Her husband is NOT happy about her piloting a(nother) walking war crime.

See a goth, post a goth.

Meet Betty- a war journalist that ate her sire, a toreador primogen, and a Primce. She was the NYC archbishop after rebranding the Sabbat and sicking it on the Cam with Anarch help.

She was set to die fighting Malkav under the city when the game ended.

So expensive 🙄.

She is hemmed, steamed, and pressed.

LL: Press, press, and PRESS those seams. Once hung for 24 hours- STEAM!
When you have a low melting point gold foil, use a cotton cover between it and the iron.
Lots of pins for stretch velvet, while zigzag stitch is your best friend.
