New Home
http://emeraldthundercreations.wordpress.com/ This is my new home because LiveJournal won't stop being grumpy. I wish I hadn't had to move, but I need to be able to post pictures with my entries. -
Come on LiveJournal
It's becoming increasingly irritating that I can't upload any photos to my entries, because what's the point of the entry if I can't show off what it's about? I want to know what's wrong with this feature and when it's going to be up and running again, because I actually have stuff I want to post about, but can't at the moment. How else am I ( Read more... ) -
The End of the Summer
Classes officially start tomorrow, meaning I don't know how much crafting will get done during this semester. I do know, however, that with my Celtic Thunder concerts less than a month away, that there will certainly be posts chronicling those adventures, starting with my reactions to seeing them on QVC this Wednesday. I'm also going to try to bake ( Read more... ) -
Birthday Presents
A friend of mine's birthday was in July, meaning I had a legitimate reason to craft and such. There were so many things I wanted to make, but I decided on one big thing and two little things for her that I think she'll enjoy. I thoroughly enjoyed making this particular thing, and I think it's beyond adorable. Now it just needs a name, and I'm ( Read more... ) -
Oh the Things that Happen...
I've been breaking in my kitchen by making some of the few things I have ingredients for. The other day when a friend was staying with me, I desperately wanted to bake, and what resulted was snickerdoodles. Unfortunately, I remembered that my wonderful cooling rack was 250 miles away, which meant I had to find a different way to cool my cookies ( Read more... ) -
The Return of Baking!!
I'm happy now. My kitchen is fully functional, my room is finally organized for the most part, and I'm spending today inside because it's perfect rainy weather for that kind of thing.
In celebration of finally having salt and other basic baking ingredients, I made scones this morning. I'm so glad to have a kitchen again and to be able to ( Read more... ) -
Not What I Expected.
I'm all moved into my academic year housing, which means that I'm finally reunited with a kitchen in which to create delicious treats and actual meals. Or so I thought. . . . I really wanted to make some scrambled eggs in a skillet today, because really, microwave eggs don't even compare when they're being eaten alone. Happy me turned on the ( Read more... ) -
Keroppi!!
Late last night I was browsing through Ravelry's free amigurumi patterns, and I came across a few things I'm really eager to make, including some Christmas presents for a certain cuteness-loving friend. Soon after finding those patterns I found one for a Keroppi, and it is beyond adorable! I managed to finish the entire thing before going to ( Read more... ) -
It's a Robot Invasion!
When I went home, I was able to go to the store and buy stuffing, as well as five skeins of yarn in colors I desperately (in my own opinion) needed. I had been itching to make this girl robot ever since I saw the pattern in a crochet book I bought, but I needed gray yarn, which I didn't have. Now that I have the colors I need, I can crank out a ( Read more... ) -
A Long Time Coming
Last week I went home for the first time since January, and I must say, I was FREEZING in my house. I'm just not used to being in air-conditioned places for long periods of time, so I spent a lot of time under a blanket. One good thing about the cooler indoor temperatures was that I was able to bake without personally baking. I ( Read more... )
