I’m wondering if I’ll try posting every day in may for NaNoBloMo.
Mostly, I’m wondering if I can get my damn posting program to work so I don’t have to compose entries in wordpress (not that theres anything wrong with that, it’s just easier for me to have it in it’s own little… space, if you will.)
Must go, try to write an email for Alex or something because it’s long past due.
ETA: Seems to work. Wondering if editing does too, I guess we’ll see.
So while I probably should be working on the special post Alex and I are working on, or rewriting/continuing any one of my current W.I.P.’s. Perhaps cleaning my room, playing with the cats…
Basically while I shouldn’t be procrastinating…
I want to show you Blind Bertha.
Click to make it bigger.
Bertha is a little plainer than I’d like, and not at all perfect… but I’ll admit, I did her in a rush. She’s probably only five or six centimetres tall and very purple and pink. The beak was actually a more royal purple, but the lighting was crap and I couldn’t be bothered editing it in photoshop (I used Picnik). The reason I made Bertha was for my Aunty Bec who recently had her birthday and I wanted to give her something….
Okay.
Also because I have this obsession with owls. I blame J.K. Rowling. 
Anyway, I called her Blind Bertha because those seed bead eyes I made her are quite light against the white fabric in real life and my bead box is a mess. Someone come an organize my sewing stuff for me, please? I drew the “pattern” myself, mostly as I went along though I think I might have to make a few modifications. And fix/ be rid of that fugly tail.
I wish she had come out as good as Alice’s owls. P.S. She’s all hand sewn, and took inordinate amounts of time. That is all.
So, I promised Alex I’d do this if I remembered – and I obviously do. So if you read/writer or generally have anything to do with webserials please go and help out
