Everyone went off to different parties and I'm home alone. It's weird, and the house is still new enough to be slightly spooky. Oh well.

I made two more stuffed birdies today! AND a pencil-case thingy for my brushes. I'm still not awesome at sewing, but I'm getting better, and having so much fun at it! :D I want to take pictures but my mom took the camera. Woe.

You know one of the things that make me love How I Met Your Mother so madly? Their awesome gender role reversals. How it's the GIRLS that are afraid of commitment, and how it's the BOYS that want to settle down and get married and have 2.5 kids. It is so AWESOME. (And then there's Barney, who is just awesome on his own, lol.) I'm at 2x15 right now, and loving every minute. :D :D

I'm reading Green Arrow/Black Canary right now, you know, the follow up to their wedding, and ZOMG BUT DINAH IS SO FUCKING AMAZING. EEEH. And Ollie is such a lovable jerk. If I have to admit it I started reading it for the art (which is just gorgeous, by the way), but I'm actually liking it a lot. Hee.

I spent most of the evening sewing a stuffed bird. Yes. You heard that right. A stuffed bird. And it is ADORABLE. :D (even if it took two tries, lol) I found the pattern in here (here's the .pdf), and it was free so I figured why the hell not. I'm pretty lousy at sewing, but I actually love it, and would really like to get good at it. In between that and the stuff I'm painting, I'm dripping artsy fartsery all over, haha.

I'm about 6400 words into my apocalyptothon fic, and it seems like I still have about 2000 words to go. Yikes. o_O I finally overcome my block, though, which fills me with glee.
