Things Arkani Works On - Updated 13th April!

[blackmageheart]

I was assisted in early awakening via cat bum, at sparrow fart, and then got a killer headache, had a nap that fixed it, and then the fiancée came home with the new sims expansion.

It's all go in your house, isn't it?

Sounds a lot more hectic than it really is! Seriously I've been up since like 5.30 this morning. It's 11.52pm now. Posting pic before I go get eaten by the bed

...and hoping that the cat had the good sense to harass the fiancée tomorrow. >.<

I think I can spot some wheat in that pic, amongst all the grainyness!

Three colours to go!
I went out shopping today, and also sent off my Christmas present for my best friend, so this is officially the last thing on my list omg (tm)

The colours aren't as saturated as they seem in the pic, it blends without looking weird!

Advent

This is what I made for my best friend - I've eve included instructions to open it immediately and some candy canes to put in the pockets. I satin stitched the middle of the star in the tree, too.

Last pic for the night!
Again it looks way too bright.. But that's indoor lighting and bad cameras for you. I guess.

Night!

Looking good!

And the advent calendar is fab - I'm about to start work on something vaguely similar although very non-Christmassy!

I love how that fish is coming together!

Thanks, guys!
I swear i'll do something sprite related ONE DAY, if it kills me. And not for a swap gift, either.
After i've done this, i've offered to make a birth sampler for a friend of mine, who had a little girl a few weeks ago. It's a pretty quick one, which is good, and then, i'll be onto my mum's 50th present, which is BIG. Well, big for me, anyway. That's for a late march gifting though, so no doubt there'll be panic in early march because i'm barely halfway through it xD

Can't see why I won't finish this colour tomorrow, then it's onto the home stretch!


..then to figure out if I want to frame or mount it. :/

[arkani]

And wouldn't you know it, the floss I was using ran out in the home stretch
Ill get some more tomorrow, though, so it's not that bad, BUT STILL.

On the last leg of it now though! Almost time for gap filling and framing/mounting!
