One, LJ is randomly not e-mailing me about comments, so if I don't respond right away it's not because I don't want to, I probably don't know. :/

Two, my face has almost recovered from the chemical peel my friend gave me. Apparently I already have baby butt soft skin, so it was... bad. Not bad enough to scar (she used the really low-level stuff) but I was all scabby and puffy and red. Now I'm just a little lizard-like and pink in blotchy spots. But at least it has stopped burning... it actually kept me up Thursday night, it hurt so much.

Three, LEGO HARRY POTTER! I'm not very far into it (I didn't even play on Friday, I know, the shock!) but it's... okay. I hate to admit it, but I liked Lego Pirate more. The problem with LHP (and possibly the reason I never completely finished the first one?) is that the hub is HUGE. You spend all your time navigating a giant hub and I can never remember what leads where and I get frustrated. Lego Star Wars is still, hands down, the very best.

Four... Craft Update! I am remarkably still not behind!

Craft #12 - I finished altering the beaded bra (the one with the giant teardrop gems that screamed "nipple!"). I'd also done work on the belt, but I think I finished that before November? At any rate, it'd be the same number since it was a set. On the bra I removed the teardrops, moved one to the center, and added all of the white seed beads. Yay!


(stupidly, the only picture I have is a cell phone snap. Oh, well)

Craft #13 - pirate loot bag (for a friend's kid's 8th birthday)



Craft #14 - Army of snowmen. I finished all 24 snowmen in the kit, though I resulted to the G word to secure the scarves. Glue... *shiver*





(Wait, I just counted those! The front of the kit definitely says 24 - I'm looking right at it - but it very obviously made 26...)

Craft #15 - Christmas Spider. No idea why I'd never finished this, but it was a fairly quick finish, so yay!



Craft #?? - Dying a skirt for a 'loaner' for the pirate dance. I'm not sure the black is good enough, in the center where it was folded it's a little... green. But I really don't want to dye it again, the rinsing is a pain in the butt.



Also started: embroidery for the BBC swap, beaded belly drape for friend.

Lost: colored, flipped image for the cross-stitch dragon. Eeep. (It's not the end of the world, it's not like I lost the original, I can flip and color it again...)

The bra looks great and the snowmen are adorable! I like the skirt too. But I like green.

Yay for being not behind!

Ahh, yes, you want the black next to the pink. Well, good luck with the next dip!
