Yesh! I can just imagine that going over well. The things
they could do to my wee garden is horrid to think about. Not that it's yielding
all that much. This dry heat sent my spinach to seed immediately, has dried my
beets to stringy little husks, and is causing my tomatoes to rot on the vine.
It's not looking like I'll have enough for tomato stew, let alone to jar. Oh
and I completely forgot abut my poor little strawberries! They didn't even make it past 2 inches before
they shriveled and died. Man I hope we get a hard frost so that next year will
yield better.

Granola bars for Daniel. He wants them smaller! |
I still haven't done a photoshoot for my most recent
costume. I feel quite lazy about that. However, since the costume is made to
fit me I would need a model with my build or a photographer to take it and my
friend is constantly busy. The only time she seems to have is when we go
walking once a week. It's frustrating to no end! She has said that she would
assist me in creating a modeling portfolio so I hold out hope. I'd have Daniel
take the photos but he's constantly working. And my sister ... well she's have
three wee bairns to deal with. Man aren't I just full of excuses!
I do have other crafts to speak of. The lucet I'm making is
coming along. I got the wood picked out and the template drawn on. I'm just
waiting for Daniel to cut it out for me so that I might begin carving. Then
again if I get really bored today I might just cut them out myself the hard
way. (with my wood carving chisel) I'm excited to start using it. However,
since it might take some time I think I'll play with one of my hair pieces to
see if I can create a cord without the proper lucet.
Then there's the 2 bracelets I made for Daniels mother.
They're quite pretty. One's pearl and the other's Swarovski crystal. She didn't
want any fancy patterns so it's just one bracelet of each type.
I've been knitting up a storm on my Gansey. I've been
neglecting this sweater for far too long. Damn cables have just got me all
flustered. But I prevail! I'm working on the last sleeve then it's just
stitching up the sides and done! Another hour perhaps till completion. Here's
hoping it still fits Ryan. >.> I do love the cables but I think after
this is complete I might just take a break from them and make a sweater for
myself in plain old stockinette.

It would seem however that I'm out of luck this year for craft shows but I found a few that I'd like to attend next year. There's this all
I still have my commissions keeping me busy though they seem
to be slowing down at the moment. Which is fine really since I need to get a
second job and continue my search for a home and now a car. Winter is right
around the corner and my motorcycle just wont work with snow or ice on the
ground.
