Here’s an old Nya sketch I did to prove to myself I could still draw women. I may have forgotten how at some point but I got there

I'm once again hemming and hawing about if I have enough fabric to sew a linen shirt loosely inspired by Bernadette Banner's pirate/Mr Darcy shirt pattern.

my assignments have got to stop coming with the instructions to be creative because i have NO limits on the subject matter I will write about. I called the American College system the AntiChrist and said I'd sell my soul for my goals on my college applications. I have a concerning obsession with eyeballs. I will invoke fields of study only tangentially related and combine them into the most nonsensical and yet totally functional metaphors, god so help me.

Fig and apple pie with pecan-cardamom crust. The figs and the apples were both foraged, which is always fun. Smells super good !

It was supposed to be in a pie tin, but I had 3/4 of a pound of figs rather than the half pound the recipe called for. And then needing to scale the recipe complicated the already confusing situation of reading while dyslexic. So I largely gave up on reading, and this is more inspired by the recipe than anything else, but here it is nonetheless: Fig, Apple, and Walnut Tarts. Anyway, it ended up too big to fit in a pie tin, hence the cobbler dish.

Baffled by how the general perception of programming is that it's not a creative hobby, as if it doesn't involve making countless decisions based on your vision for the finished product just the same as any other art form >:U

When you live on computers like so many of us do, programming is literally bending the fabric of reality. It's MAGIC! You can do LITERALLY ANYTHING* with it!!! I cannot stress enough how much the world opens up when you realize what sorts of things you can write or use programs to do. Sure, you can make tools that are generally practical (and yeah, those can be really nice), but you can also make things that are really only useful to you, or not useful at all and just fun! It's not like you're limited to only making boring things you'll never use, no matter how dull and confusing online programming tutorials make the process seem.

((* Except tell when a program will run forever. You can't do that. You can do most other things though!!))

And even when you only have one specific thing you want to do, there are as many ways to implement it as there are people to give it a go. While there are generally accepted "good ways" of doing certain things, really, there are no hard and fast rules. If you write something that does what it needs to do, it's usually fine no matter how you accomplish it. I always end up putting a lot of myself into programs I write, and I imagine it's the same for other people. Programming is EXTREMELY creative, and artistic, and fun!!!

For such a popular thing, the public perception of it as a hobby is horrible, and I think that's just a shame. Not only is it not too hard for most people to learn (the usual worry), it's ALSO not boring (or for professionals only, for that matter)! Programming as an artistic hobby deserves better rep fr

So this one is another I don't have a ton of good progress photos on, as I initially threw it together in a MAJOR hurry, with an impending international flight the next day, not to mention most of the packing I hadn't finished yet!

Y'see, normally I'm used to being easily 85 to 90% packed before such a big trip, so I kinda autopiloted into going "oh, I don't have a neck pillow! Gonna need one of those! Even despite the chaos, to be honest, it was quite a fun process! I'd never done drop patterning before, and it was fascinating to see the difference in my initial idea of what the pattern pieces looked like, in comparison to what came out after a bit of clever draping and tracing, let alone seeing how I basically managed to pirate my partner's neck pillow, haha!

I haven't done a lot of stuffed work before, though, so I don't quite have down how to get the relative density of something like a pillow down pat, even if I was using stuffing from an old set of pillows I was loath to discard. Perhaps (definitely) as a result of that, I had to throw a patch onto the split it gained smack dab in the middle! Made for something to do on the train after the flight, and I luckily had the presence of mind to bring along some of the scraps of the material I made the pillow out of. Is it a 4-h project? nah, I could have straightened out some of those stitches better! but it works, and quite well, I might add. I even managed to get my shorts (whose various mends we've seen around here before) surviving through all the walking I had to do over there!

I bought this “Guess how much I love you” panel and used a pattern from @villarosadesigns to make this adorable EASY baby quilt. The photos don’t really do it justice, it’s really adorable in person! Bought all the fabrics at @creativepassionsretreat quilt shop. This was a simple quilt but it turned out so well!! I found the exact same gray with the bunnies in the big squares in flannel to use for the back.

not saying the writing is perfect in all facets, but what exactly did the writers do that was so bad that some of you write off anything good they do to be the result of pure coincidence?

I get duffer atheists in my notes every time I point out some little characterization/set detail. do you think these characters just evolved onto your screen on their own without anybody planning and writing them? "ohh could this be on purpose?? I know they didn't plan this" why not? remind me why are we so sure the writers of one of the most successful shows of the decade are completely inept?

After 2 1/2 months, I'm finally done! I'm sorry, Mr. Redacted, but merch is expensive, and thread is cheap. I also like being able to control how subtle a reference I'm making, and some of your merch doesn't fit that vibe. This is about 3 in x 4.5 in across, centered over the left breast of a jacket I've decorated previously.

(pleaee ignore the fluff. I don't have a lint roller)

I don't blame you if you don't immediately get the reference; constellations can be hard to identify. This one in particular is Carina, and the focus is on a particular star that makes up the constellation, Epsilon Carinae (that's the one above the fancy E)

[Photo ID: image of the constellation Carina matching the first image, with the names of the stars labeled /end ID]

The common name for that particular star, however, ought to be familiar (and not exactly surprising).

It's named Avior.

Still on my dragon bs... Not sure what to do with this still, cause it will likely end up too big for my intended purposes. But I think it can double as a flat wing pattern for the dragon amigurumi I've been brainstorming for the past weeks if this current wip doesn't work out 👀

Sometimes I feel very sad that I didn’t just focus on one creative skill. I look at my art some days and go I wish I’d spent all my time making only that, because that way it would look better and I’d do more and it wouldn’t matter if I couldn’t write very well because my art would be amazing and I’d be able to make the stuff I really want to and maybe even get a job related to it and I wouldn’t feel like so much time was wasted. And often times it really does feel like you’re wasting time and everything is telling you to just pick something to focus on so it can mean something and you can never seem to pick one of anything.

And then other days I feel like an absolute GOD. Anyone else able to write your own fic and then draw art for it just because you can? Can you make an edit/amv after writing a silly little analysis post on the show/character that is so perfectly on beat and fits the lyrics and with transitions so slapping you get chills while watching? Can you write a short silly ditty on the guitar about how you’re feeling using the eight chords know and belt it out only a little bit off key then do a choppy little animation of your sona singing it?

I may not be the most skilled at all of the above, and it can be a little lonely to be a one man band who doesn’t play half as well as a lot of people out there, but when your power goes out or your wifi dies or you have a day off, everyone else is busy and you’re alone...

you play the best gosh dang music in existence

I haven’t touched my cross stitch project in months but sure, I MUST do a sampler for my cousin’s wedding in May, it’ll be fine.
