Because I don’t like sarcasm or facetious remarks, I’ll forgo the #JusJoJan for this last day.
I don’t know if I shared the black painted “framed” *TARDIS in Starry Night.
Didn’t get the whole picture but I think you get the idea. Now I need to pick up some Command Strips to hang it on the wall.
Here’s a little for those who haven’t crossed paths with Doctor Who.<— Wiki
Here is the progress on my newest diamond project. In five days I’ve manage the lower right, of the sandy beach of Beach Sunset. The whole preview on the right. Sideways. This one is worked horizontally and sideways. I need to use the straightener to get my lines more even.
The slipper socks are nearly finished. I’m still working the cuffs.
Done with the dots and Mod Podge. Tomorrow, black paint framing.
Yesterday, I kitted up the new project.
Here’s the preview and key.
The ‘diamonds’ come in little packets. With this project it’s even better as they are in little ziplock bags. The numbers correspond to the key on the canvas.
One side of cellophane bag.The other side.
I have these containers that I think are less dumpable. So I labeled per key.
Progress so far.
And knitting is still keeping me out of trouble. This pair going to the charity. I’ll give the play by play when finished.
So soft. I wish they fit me! Not really. I feel good that someone might feel more comfortable in their life.
My mission for Fridays is to have something accomplished. Some weeks I don’t even come close to a finished product. This week, there are a few things I’m proud of. Even though close is all I got.
Probably will finish tomorrow on another scrappy slipper socks for charity, using up some small skeins.Only a couple empty ‘drill’ spots. I’ll do those before bed. Tomorrow I will ‘Mod Podge’ and paint the border. Then I will look at my next project. Try painting? Sunset beach Diamond Painting? Rock painting? So many artsy-fartsy things to try!Finish of a perfect day, including a mile walk with Kali.
Now I just need to find music time!
Per Linda:
Your prompt for JusJoJan January 21st, 2022, is “mission.” Use the word “misson” any way you’d like. Have fun!
In the moment, I feel uninspired. In the moment, I feel accomplished.
Another pair for charity.
The next pair toe to foot.
In the moment, I wish I had a TARDIS I could fly away on. But that might take energy and/or inspiration as to where or when to go. Instead, in the moment, I prefer to be knitting or Diamond Painting.
Wow! Can you believe we are back to January in a year that can look like this Y2K22? Beginning Just Jot it January, again, a prompt to write on everyday. Today’s blends with the Stream of Consciousness Saturday with the word prompt appropriate for the day, resolve.
Resolve according to Dar’s silly dictionary is to repeatedly solve. Which is how we all continue an insanity every year. Resolutions have been proven unsuccessful most of the time.
My friend and I choose to sit and write out possibilities. Last year I saw a possibility of getting healthier. It took the whole year adjusting eating habits losing over 30 pounds. And Intermittent Fasting has been the best, easiest method of my life.
This year will mean a possibility of more movement. More music making. More art enjoyments. Of course more knitting. But I’m determined to knit socks on circular needles, flippies or whatever they call those bendy short ones, and I want to learn to use double pointed needles. Right now, loom knitting is fast and I don’t lose stitches. But I am determined to be able to use any of these methods.
I see myself writing more letters and cards. And speaking of writing, I see those many books edited and finding readers.
I see people being kinder to each other. So let’s see if we can make this and more come true!
A Boy Called Christmas grabbed me with the cute boy and talking mouse.
Started watching Tick, Tick, Boom. I’ll try to watch tomorrow.
It has been so cold (high of 22) that we spent most of the day in the bedroom. I did manage about an hour out in the living room. And another hour on Diamond Painting. Oh, my living room time was watching Lost in Space. DP time listening to Les Miserables. 75% finished. It’s long even on Audible.
Getting lots done, just not the things I would have wanted to do for family and friends. Instead, charity yarn makes charity gifts.
Made on 80 pegs of KB fine-gauge Flexee loom. Fold up brim. Flat knit-stitch throughout. Kind of made up the decreases in crown.
The minute the loom was empty I divided it in two and made two 40-peg sock looms. Here’s the Kitchener cast-on (we were watching the Witcher so I called the cast-on the Witchener, hehe).
They will be slipper-socks.
Oh, and just for the curious, here’s the progress on the Diamond Painting. I can’t work at it for very long stretches but I do enjoy it.
