Vampire in the Garden
Want 5 episodes of anime that will rip your heart out? Go watch Vampire in the Garden. The storyline is heavy-handed, fast-moving, but fantastic. Vampires versus Warms. Aka Humans. It’s a “modern” day setting, which is really cool. You can find it on Netflix right now. I really like Fine and Momo. There’s not aContinue reading “Vampire in the Garden”
Inktober52 – Week 19: ORIGIN
Here’s another drawing prompt done! I’m running behind. I think we’re on week 20 technically now. I thought a family tree would be a good way to illustrate ORIGIN for this Inktober52 prompt. Different colored leaves for the different times in life that each branch experiences. And the blue balls represent the family members.
Monster Care Squad
What happens if someone crosses Monster Tamers with Studio Ghiblieque artwork? You’ve got Monster Care Squad. Whimsy. High Fantasy. There’s no HP. You don’t have the threat of dying. Ever wonder what it would be like if a tabletop game was focused on the roleplay instead of all the dice and min-maxing of your characterContinue reading “Monster Care Squad”
New NEW Hobby?
Fox Pick only has a Twitter account. I think. They were one of the vendors at BSides and I had a ton of fun while I was hanging out downstairs. A long time ago, my ex-husband had bought me some lockpicking sets. I have no idea where those are right now. I’m sure the setsContinue reading “New NEW Hobby?”
Friday the 13th was BSides
My SO was paid/reimbursed to go to an IT security conference. When he attended college, he actually volunteered and staffed the conference. Back before COVID and such. Last two years it was virtual. And this year they had it in person again. It was $25 per person to attend and children were free. We almostContinue reading “Friday the 13th was BSides”
Shopping Spree … Fairly Affordable
I went to the actual Walmart so the price was a bit different, but I had to finally do this! I’ve been reading and some part of me needed something to do. Buying a kit makes life easier because it has everything you need. Eventually, you might like to do your own pattern so you’llContinue reading “Shopping Spree … Fairly Affordable”
Hoop There It Is…
I was looking at more Embroidery books in the digital library and came across this. It has some embroidery projects, but I was amused by the different ideas you can do with hoops. I don’t know if I’ll actually make any of these, but it really inspired me. I’d probably love to try and makeContinue reading “Hoop There It Is…”
Mille and Jet Update
Puppies typically do not leave their mothers before 8 weeks old. We got Mildred and Bridget under special circumstances. I honestly believe if they hadn’t stayed here with us they would have gotten adopted out. The rest of the litter was given away the very next day. I will admit… I’m frazzled. I have NOTContinue reading “Mille and Jet Update”
Can You Fix It?
I was excited for this one, but the format was hard to read. The online reader didn’t allow me to change the font size. I think it’s a matter of how the book was scanned because the text still overlapped and ran together with no matter how much I scaled things up or down. AContinue reading “Can You Fix It?”
