Missed a week

Image
Did you miss my weekly updates? I was dancing around my living room, caught my foot on something on the floor and fell backwards onto my butt and the heel of my left hand. Didn't really hurt at first, but I did something to my forearm near my elbow, over my radius. Needless to say crafting was out for the week as it hurt. Crochet and knitting is still out for the foreseeable future just so I'm not twisting it unnecessarily.  Luckily I'm able to cross stitch. I can also finally share the video I was working on most of the month. The recipient loved it and quote tweeted me. :) Also made this one, while waiting for his birthday.

Two new starts

Still haven't done much crafting this week. So much that I didn't take pictures until today. I started Tropical Dream by Teresa Wentzler. 4x2 on 20 ct. And I finally got yarn for an afghan I'm making as a present. Just started part 2 of the Better Together CAL.   Most of my time has been working on the birthday video. Rough cut is done. Now I'm working on transitions and titles.

Everything but my usual projects

So apparently I've been doing everything but stitching this week. Very little progress on Alcazar Castle.   Instead I put two wooden puzzle kits together. The carousel spins. And I made another video. Today I played around with After Effects and created a fireworks display for a video that's more of a commission. Might have to roll the dice again as the castle isn't holding my attention. I do need to get yarn for a commissioned afghan, but haven't quite gotten to the store yet. The Leverage Reboot starts filming tomorrow (officially, not sure if they did anything beyond the table read last week) and it's been making me happy for a month. Thus the videos. 

Finishes, but not crafts

I had to redo the top left corner because I had messed up on the brown quarter circle. Wasn't that interested in the colors after I redid them. Dice brought up Alcazar of Segovia Castle. A new start. But my focus this week was other projects. One, I got to my 45 page goal for my spec script. Now I just wait for the reboot to see how much I have to change. And I made two Leverage videos. So... Keeping some skills needed for my 2nd career choice from rusting. Bonus if you made it this far, Clyde.
