A lot of assignments due at midnight tonight, a buttload of laundry, cleaning out the trash that's accumulated in my car... I got kicked out of where I was living 2 weeks ago and I've been putting off everything due to scramble mode. At least I'm back living with grumpy old Mango the cat.

Posted September 6, 2020 I really wish I had the time to go through and rename all of my dragons, but even being on this forum right now, I'm seriously slacking on the things I need to get done. I have two assignments due tonight and I cannot focus whatsoever. Share this post Link to post
Posted September 6, 2020 Those assignments should probably be your priority, wonton! Save renaming for later! Though I know DC can be very distracting! Nice that you can do art, Danger! My usual creative stuff (origami) has gone by the wayside as the craft fair I sell my things at has been cancelled for this year because of Covid. Share this post Link to post

My usual creative stuff (origami) has gone by the wayside as the craft fair I sell my things at has been cancelled for this year because of Covid. it's all i've been doing for ten years! i'm actually waiting for a GD mod to help me out and close my super old art thread so i can open up a new one that's focused on all of my new work, because i've gotten a lot better and made a LOT more i'm really, really proud of how far i've come... 7 minutes ago, wonton55912 said: I really wish I had the time to go through and rename all of my dragons, but even being on this forum right now, I'm seriously slacking on the things I need to get done. lol, i'm not even gonna bother trying to rename all of my dragons. it's funny, there are a few dragons that i have descriptions written for and i kinda have to go through and fix them if they refer to me because they still all say 'she'! i did that with a couple dragons already, lol. i've got some tall plans for my dragons now that i'm getting back in; and i'm actually being competent about planning things out... i have a 3rd gen purebred ridgeback and i'm trying to get my hands on a 4th caveborn nebula so i can breed up a 3rd gen purebred nebula to cross-breed them for one of those cool carina dragons so that the lineage will be aesthetically pleasing if i said that to my 13 year old self i'd be like "what the hell are you talking about???"

Posted September 6, 2020 The carinas are really lovely dragons! My problem with the hybrid breeds is most of my pairings are monogamous so I either have to go out and collect the base pairs or make trades for the eggs. Share this post Link to post

Posted September 6, 2020 (edited) Good Morning CPA!! Waffles AND brownies!!! ohhhh YUM! *makes like Cookie Monster - nom nom* I agree with too much to do, no motivation...but I better do something, including naming some more dragons - that might be the highlight of my day.

Posted September 6, 2020 since tomorrow is Labor Day in th US, i don't have work, which means i don't have anything planned out either. i do want to go to my JoAnn's and see if they have something for the Fortnight character i'm crocheting for my nephew for his birthday (it was yesterday (the birthday). i'll be mailing it (the crochet character) when it's done.)

Posted September 6, 2020 (edited) @trystan t-shirt quilt? I need info and help! It's something I've wanted to do with all my Harley t-shirts. I may have to sell my bike but I wanted to have something special as a reminder of my fun. Edited September 6, 2020 by a_god_s *gathers up t-shirts* Share this post Link to post
Posted September 6, 2020 Wait...? You work at Michael's and shop at JoAnn's? Don't you guys sell some of the same things? T-shirt quilt's a great idea! Do you quilt, a_god? Share this post Link to post
Posted September 6, 2020 (edited) @a_god_s - it's something that's been in works for a mmfffmmmpf... long time. yep. long time. it's my longest WIP, actually. but anyway. i have all the squares the same size now, had them that way for that same amount of long time. i also have the little squares and strips to go between the big squares. i also had 59 (!!!?) squares ready to go. 1. that'd be a HUGE quilt and 2. that's not even a nice number, let alone close to square ("close" would be 5x4, or 5x6, or 6x7. even if i had 60 squares, 6x10? i could make two of 'em that would be 6x5,) - in the end, i went through ALL those squares, and picked out 25 of the best. i have two large strips done, and i'm putting together a third. let me see if i have that pic of the two strips so far. ah, here we go. the top strip is stuff connecting to college, the bottom strip is a few random connections Spoiler 5 minutes ago, Lagie said: Wait...?

Do you quilt, a_god? I can crochet and knit but sewing was never my strong suit. The only "sewing quilt" I was involved in was for my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary. There were squares with their pets, travels and hobbies, each daughter had their own square and their children shared an adjoining square(s). In the center, one of my cousins, stitched a pic from their wedding. It was a glorious piece of work! That is a nice WIP trystan... I can hardly wait to see the finished item. I know you have to put the t-shirts on another piece of fabric... I have that now but no sewing machine Edited September 6, 2020 by a_god_s I can needlepoint...but not croquet!!

Posted September 6, 2020 That anniversary quilt sounds amazing! I'll bet it was a lot of hard work by a great many people. Quilting bee, anyone? One of my shop customers quilts so I'm always keeping an eye on the fabrics that come in. We had a box of lovely pieces last week but she was out of town so her husband came to get it for her, then returned the next day to give me even more money because the pieces in the box had been so spectacular! That made a really nice change from the customers who always want more for next to nothing. Share this post Link to post

Posted September 6, 2020 (edited) That is really nice Lagie, you don't find many like that anymore! and yes @trystan its like that only with mallets and wickets! LOL I think you might be onto something Lagie... about a Bee... wouldn't it be cool to have a quilt where each square was a DC dragon? Edited September 6, 2020 by a_god_s Share this post Link to post

Posted September 6, 2020 that looks super cool, trystan! i have a lot of admiration for people who do physical arts, like sewing or carving or building... it's really cool! that actually sounds like an awesome idea, gods. i'm sure it'd be absolutely massive but imagine how cool it would be hung up... i'm especially thinking about all the dragons being arranged in rainbow order, oh man. Share this post Link to post
Posted September 6, 2020 rainbow would be cool but I was thinking of going in their release date order - starting in the center as four pack and building outward (around like a spiral) - so you could keep adding the new ones - like a border Share this post Link to post
Posted September 6, 2020 Oh! A dragon quilt would be awesome! The only quilt I ever made was a baby quilt and it took me forever! Share this post Link to post
Posted September 6, 2020 (edited) but if people took just 1 or 2 squares (4pks?) - and make it 5-6 times, they could swap with others and not only made something cool but made it with friends I mean a smaller projects they could repeat easily and wouldn't take too much time,,, maybe? edit... wait...How many different type are there now??
