After months of this painting sitting neglected on my desk, I finally was able to finish it. Hopefully will send it to its new home soon.🖌️🫟🎨🖼️
Acrylic painting on 8-inch by 24-inch canvas hanging vertically on a dark orange wall. The painting is divided into three sections. Subject matter is Legend of Zelda's Link from Link's Awakening. Top panel is Link finding a sword with a blue pommel; he is centered in the frame, wearing green hat and tunic, with blue and white ocean waves behind his lower half, tan and burnt sienna ripples of beach sand behind his upper half, a seashell in the upper right corner, and the sword in the upper left corner. Middle panel is Link centered in frame wearing green hat and tunic, holding a green and tan shield on the left, with white stars dotting a black background. Bottom panel is Link centered in frame cutting grass with the sword; he is wearing green hat and tunic, surrounded by green grass on a tan background, with four darker green leaves floating next to the sword; the sword is to the bottom right and has a blue pommel.

Finished! Only took me 4 days and was WAY easier than I had thought. Fair Isle knitting has intimidated me for ages, but this helped me figure out it's not actually that hard.🧶

Day 2: got about 8 more rows done then had to back out another row, so I put it time out for the rest of the day.😂😅🧶

Day 1: made it through row 15 of the pattern. Had to back out 2 rows when I discovered Chart 1 is missing a MC square on the left for rows 13-15, but I managed.🧶 So many ends to weave in, but one of my bfs has agreed to do it for me ❤️😍

Getting two skeins of variegated yarn that are pretty identical means I just *had* to make sweater sleeves with them, right?🧶Trying to alternate between them so I don't fuck up the increases, and succeeding so far.
#crochet #yarnaddict #yarntherapy
On the left, two skeins of variegated yarn with gradients from light grey in the middle to black on the outside, partially used from a center pull hole. In the middle, two partially crocheted sweater sleeves in light grey with white cuffs. One of the sleeves is lying flat on a brown fabric background. The other sleeve is modeled on a light-skinned forearm with a red-handled crochet hook lying across it.

Finally. Fucking. Finished. Sorry, Gyarados, you're gonna be a one-and-done project; I'm never going through that one again.

Just got one more fin to crochet, then sew it and another fin on, and this fucking monster will finally be done. This WIP's been in the Bucket of Shame for 3 years, and I finally got tired of thinking, "Oh yeah, I should work on that."🧶😅

Made a homebrew-ish magic item for my 4e D&D party (11th level). I think it's funny, but maybe I'm just deranged...
#d&dshenanigans #d&d #dungeonsanddragons #pathfinder #homebrew
D&D 4e magic item stat block with text: Carpet of Flying? Level ?? This 10ft x 20ft decorated rug appears to be able to fly. But will it? Property: You may speak the carpet's command word (if you can figure it out) as a standard action to make the carpet hover and fly. It moves according to your spoken directions (if you're nice to it), provided you are within 6 squares of the carpet. The carpet can hold up to 800lb (if it wants to) and has a flying speed of 8 squares (if it's feeling speedy); it can hold up to 1600lb but reduces its flying speed to 4 squares.

Putting this WIP crocheted cardigan aside for a bit. I like the pattern, but this yarn isn't right for it. Got the front and back panels done, trying to decide if I want to continue with it or frog the whole thing. 🧶 #pensive #yarntherapy #yarnaddict #crochetsky #knitsky

Wore it out today for the first time, one of my metas had a roller derby bout. Got lots of compliments on it, and I felt really good for actually making/finishing something for myself.🧶

Freehanded this tank top for myself out of lace-weight yarn - knit the bottom black section in the round, crocheted the top rainbow part and straps. Just a few ends to weave in, then I might wear it this weekend! 🧶

Baked 5 loaves of sourdough bread today. My bestie was given some starter and mixed up a bunch of dough before she realized bread baking is not for her, so I brought all the prepped dough and the remaining starter home and spent the day experimenting with it.🍞

My best friend is amazing - she just dropped by with some cheese bread, and we chatted for 20 mins about all sorts of things. Since I live in the middle of nowhere and rarely get out of the house, it was a beautiful surprise.
