“Diamond Dots painting at the library was WONDERFUL! Look at these cute things we made!”

“Brittany and Alvin teamed up on the butterfly and Theodore and I did the hummingbird.”

The dot-ification of data has begun!! The makers turned him way more peach than the photo I sent them (I guess they thought a white-gold man with yellow eyes was too unnatural or something?) So I'm making some slight changes to maintain his lovely android sheen ~

I'll post the finished piece when it's done!

“Diamond Dots painting is going on at the library again tonight.”

“Absolutely nothing else noteworthy about this day. Nothing at all.”

“Definitely nothing worrying me!”

Process photos of my diamond painting. The last one I tried to show how the diamonds sparkle when the sun hits them.

I was in a hospital for a few weeks, i got myself a buddy, they got us these so we wouldn't be too bored so we we're sitting an putting small, plastic rocks one by one. Weirdly soothing.

Craft Goals for 2023

Upcoming Craft Goals for 2023:

January: Finish the Big Boba Fett Cross Stitch and get it framed.  Hope to have the stitching done by the end of January.  Framing will take longer since I still have to find a good frame.  (I’ve found some good frames for other projects at Goodwill, still looking for the right one for this one).

February:  Gingerbread Tree Skirt.  This is a pattern from the Crochet Crowd and Yarnspirations, and the yarn has already been purchased.  The hope is to have a full-sized Christmas tree next year, so this is the skirt that will be used for it.

(I want to do it in these colors, I think it will go well with my living room.  The pattern also allows one to make a round blanket, so if I like it I may make one for the back of the couch).

March: I bought all the supplies, um, before the pandemic to make a spring wreath and I never even unpacked the box.  I want to actually do it.

I picked different colors when the silk flowers were on sale, but hell if I remember which I chose, so I guess I have a surprise in April.  It was pastel but not pink.

April: I found some sock yarn I still haven’t used so this spring I want to knit a pair of socks for me.  I also expect to be doing some yard work so I’m not planning anything bigger than that.  Hopefully I will find my sock needles by April.  They are . . . somewhere.

May: I bought an embroidery kit at ALDI sometime during the pandemic and I want to actually start using it.  I already know how to cross stitch but other than a kit I never finished sometime in the 2000′s the last time I learned to do embroidery was in sixth grade home economics class.  Eventually I want to put together enough supplies to cross stitch and embroider regularly.  Friends IRL, expect thready gifts in the future.

June: Another kit I purchased years ago and never used is the Star Wars Crochet Kit.  I definitely want to use this (and if I like it, there is now a Mandalorian kit).

July:  July is going to inevitably be hot, so it may be time to break out the rock painting kit I bought and stop trying to work with textiles.  Yes, I’ve been buying kits because I haven’t had the brain space to buy supplies and everything is ready when I am.  I also purchased this one from ALDI (this year.  I was about to buy a second identical embroidery kit and realized I already had one at home).  I have no idea what I will do with them, but we’ll see if I like it.

August: I have a knock off Diamond Dots kit and August seems like a good month to try that.  It’s supposed to be similar to cross stitch, but again, no textiles in the heat.  If I like it, I already have a few more kits that I bought on sale/on a whim/for free shipping on amazon. Those can be considered in 2024.

September-December:  When fall comes Christmas is just around the corner.  I want to keep some time available to start doing holiday gifts, but I hope to do some craft painting.  I’ve got quite a few ceramic ornaments to paint that I’ve collected over the years, so I can work on those.  I also used to make marbled glass ornaments and fall is a good time to do that because they can take weeks to dry but only need to be turned 1-2 times a day so it’s good to make a bunch at once.  Also I will be doing Inktober again, so that covers October.

I have a few orphan projects I may do when I have time (like that Mandala blanket) and I know I won’t make all of these goals.  And I’m sure holiday gifts will totally derail some.  But these are the fun plans.  And I may do some smaller cross stitch projects in between.

Diamond Dot painting

Took me many scattered hours throughout January. I think I’ll have to keep track of my progress on the next one.

hello! i have a question about GG20's sunset! i think she is very interesting and her design is so awesome!! okay the question, what would you think her and celestia's relationship would be in the au? would it be similar to their show relationship or would it differ more?

Very similar to the show, actually. AU Sunset was Celestia's pupil, similar to Cadance (although not an adoptive daughter). However, Sunset always felt like an outsider and was eager to gain a Canterlotian title and join Celestia's court of witches. She grew resentful and bitter after Celestia denied her, stating she wasn't ready. After unleashing the sirens, Celestia banished Sunset to Earth, only to return once she's defeated the sirens. Sunset loathes Celestia and blames everything on her. Celestia feels guilt and regret similar toward her sister. After the incident, she fell into a depression (only to be taken out of it when Thea enters the story). Celestia still cares about Sunset though and sometimes secretly sends tributes to aid her quest, like Sunset's rapier sword and magical horse, Shimmer.
