Today officially marks one year of being on Tumblr! So, to celebrate I decided I should attempt to make a master list of my fics. I’ve never attempted anything like this - and I still haven’t really mastered the links, so here goes nothing!!
I’ll put it all below the cut so it’s not too long!
I also want to thank the Thunderfam for being such a welcoming and encouraging fandom! You have all made me feel so much at home. Big thank you hugs to all of you!
This week’s achievements 😁
That's an beautiful shape.
Can I ask what type of cluster stitch you used?
::hugs:: That is either puff stitch or bobble stitch, I’m not sure which as it seems to vary in naming - I thought it was puff stitch, but it is five half doubles joined together with one final loop (in American stitch labelling, which makes more sense to me than UK even though I’m Australian - sc, hdc, dc, tc).
As part of this very pink project, I’m planning on overhauling my website and alongside all the pink pretties, I hope to offer affordable patterns for both my beadwork and crochet as pretty much all the designs I make are my own.
This pattern has been typed up, but I’m still refining the notes to come with it. I want my patterns to be well annotated, clear, and a good product in themselves (I’m neurotic about all my products being good quality).
Long story short, the pattern will likely be available down the track 😁💚
Nutty
(I need to pay for my yarn addiction, it is so much more expensive than beads)
i love hearing what lines from film/tv people quote with their family all the time because they’re always niche and forgettable to everyone but that specific family
wait i’m curious reblog this with the lines you quote with your family, mine are “shut that gate” from withnail and i and “i’m not gonna eat dirt” from fantastic mr fox
Push the button, Max.
From The Great Race.
Finally figuring out resin. This completed yesterday with no major errors to fix.
Air bubbles fit given turtle swimming.
The blue millefiori is a fused bubble I made.
Good way to use some of my bead/scrap stash too.
Nice end to a long work week.
Yes… I will try stuff other than gears.
I love this! It looks awesome.

FAB!
Day 17 and Day 18
No photos for day 17 - it was an air travel day from Calgary to Toronto and my seat on the plane was an aisle seat.
The first part of day 18 included meeting my dad’s cousin - my Toronto relatives are from an arm of the family that I’ve never met and know little about, so it was really nice to meet him, spend some time by the harbour and chat over a lovely lunch.
And then there was a little sight seeing time!
I was headed for CN Tower, but I stumbled across the Roundhouse.
There’s a railway museum here … I was tempted, but I didn’t end up going in.
Stood in line to buy my entry ticket for the CN tower for about 45 minutes, then had an hour to kill before I needed to stand in another long queue to get into the tower itself!
So, I went in search of a drink, and found these guys hanging outside the Rogers Stadium.
Then it was Tower time.
I was a little disappointed with the “main” observation deck. There were no information boards to inform me what I was looking at in any direction, the mirrors on the ceiling made it next to impossible to get photos out the windows without reflections, and half of the windows had tables and chairs for the cafes up against them.
Then I had to go down one level to the other elevator bank (for the elevator down, or the one that would take me up to the Skypod), and found out that there should have been another observation level, but it was closed for renovation. That lower observation level would have had slanted windows instead of straight ones. And maybe that would have had the information cards. It probably would have helped thin the crowd too.
There was a glass floor here, with a view straight down to the aquarium!
Anyway, up I went to the Skypod - 100m or so (or 33 stories) higher that the observation deck. Restricted numbers and timed tickets meant less crowds, and the slanted windows allowed for looking down …
on the people doing the EdgeWalk on the roof of the restaurant level.
(Roundhouse looks cool from above)
That beige (or light brown) building with the 2 towers, just below the two boats on the water … that’s where I was staying. On the 31st floor of the near tower.
And that’s the view from my room.
The birthday fic I wrote for Virgil finished yesterday, but it didn't make me happy enough to post it...
The last wip I shared was unfinished and now when I reread it, I realize that I want to change everything except the main idea... 😕
When I re-read the parts of What happened there? that I have already written, I see many places that I would like to change.
I don't know what is the reason for this dislike. I've been on vacation for two weeks (It's really enjoyable) but I can't like what I write.
Wanting to change the way you’ve written/explored a story or idea in a WIP is not necessarily a bad thing. The fact that you’ve got that first effort done and now you know there’s another way to approach it means you are making good progress. The effort is not wasted, it has helped you hone your ideas.
Be proud of what you’ve achieved so far, but if you can see ways to make it even better then go ahead and make the changes you want to.
...Anyway, I created a Userscript for the Chrome/Firefox Stylus Extension that reverts the new dashboard to the old format. This took a lot of tweaking and it's not perfect at all, but if anyone wants it I'll be uploading it soonish now!
Be sure to check for updates, I'm fixing things as I go! To update click the Manage button on Stylus and click the check for update button below! If you experience any bugs let me know - feel free to edit it yourself as well! P.S. Works just fine alongside Xkit!
Check under the cut for the changelog and known issues!
NEW UPDATE as of 16/08/23, 20:12 BST v6.0
