February? Already??

[fishpatrol]

I woke up this morning under a pile of fluffy blankets on my big, soft bed at home. I leisurely checked my email while still in bed (and thanked heavens that my school email inbox wasn't bombarded with emails from my supervisor -- probably because she's teaching all day. Speaking of which, the worst way to be woken up is by a phone call from my supervisor telling me to make changes to questionnaires within the next hour). Then I spent an hour knitting* and listening to Sherlock Holmes porn in my warm sunny kitchen. Now that is an excellent way to start off the week.

But then I had to go back to campus right after lunch. I've dawdled online long enough -- I should consider catching up on readings and preparing for the study I need to run tomorrow. *le sigh*

*- on the subject of knitting: I was inspired by kelene's endeavor to learn knitting and decided to pester my mother into teaching me (for the umpteenth time) this weekend. I think I'm getting the hang of it! I am knitting myself a bright red scarf. :D It's quite relaxing to knit and listen to podfic (that is, right up until the point that my fingers cramp up).

In other news, I had to drop out of j2_everafter because I have absolutely no art juices in me at all. I had several ideas for my entry back in December and I regret not putting them to paper right away. All I have is this little chibi sketch I drew back in, I dunno, December -- I cleaned it up a bit in Photoshop:




One day, Jared wakes up and there is a genie in his house. He flips out. But then things happen. [insert other pictures that were supposed to have been drawn] In the end, he and Jensen (who is freed from his confinement by Jared's final wish) live happily ever after. [insert sparkles and rainbows and unicorns]

I am loving Jared's pajamas

[fishpatrol]

Thank you! :D It was either planets or duckies. ;)

Aw, that is adorable! I, too, am in love with Jared's pjs. And also his hair.

Also: I have recently taken up crochet! I'm also using it as an excuse to listen to podfic. *g*

[fishpatrol]

Hee, thank you! :D

That's awesome! Is it difficult to learn?

OMG, I just ELEVEN COMMENT NOTIFICATION EMAILS for this response. WTF, LJ?

No, it's actually pretty easy! I am making a blanket (God, ambitious much?), so it's the same pattern over and over again, which is nice and easy for me.

D:!
(maybe I replied 11 times! just to be a complete nutter!)

That sounds like fun -- maybe I'll ask my mom to teach me to crochet after I'm done knitting this scarf (which is turning out to look a lot like chain mail. with a few gaping holes...)

Heh, one of the reasons I decided to start with crochet is that it's (apparently) faster for newbies to pick up and easier to avoid things like dropping stitches.

haha that's a cute piece of art :>

lol go us DIY types! I am going to start making clothing soon...and probably kill myself :D

[fishpatrol]

Thanks! :D

Will you be sewing by hand or with a sewing machine? My mom can make simple clothes (skirts, pj pants, etc), but it's one of her many skills that never got passed on to me. X3

[postingwhore.livejournal.com]

by hand, because I has no sewing machine :P ;_;

[scorpiod1.livejournal.com]

Awwww, that's adorable!

[fishpatrol]

Thanks so much! :D I admit, I had fun drawing Jared's flailing arms and hands.
