Sorry my friends, I must annoy you a little more with pictures of my magnets because I'm quite pleased with the way these came out, and because posting about them is one of the best (cheapest) ways to drum up interest for them. FIREFLY MAGNETS. Zoe and Wash please me so much, ahahaha. I put them up on my Etsy shop already. I fully intend to ( Read more... )

Back from Gallifrey One! And I have been since Sunday night, but I'm recovered enough now to write up a little post about it. Phew. Had a great time at the con as ever, though I didn't get to see as many panels/actor-related events as I wanted. I didn't get a single autograph this year! I did manage some photo ops, though. I was just so busy ( Read more... )

So, in light of my change in merchandise, I've renamed my Etsy Shop to "Magnetic Star Stuff." I really like the name because I sell magnets and I love space/the cosmos, and everything in existence once was forged in the heart of a star, so we really are all (as Sagan famously said) "made of star-stuff"--including my magnets ( Read more... )

Yay! People seem to be digging my magnet idea! I've done a few more designs and am gearing up for a big print-out. I'd really like to try to open up "pre-orders" before Gallifrey, mostly because I want to give my friends dibs on anything they want, and because I think I'll be able to offer them a bit cheaper via LJ than I will via the Gallifrey ( Read more... )

Today at work I had a very slow day. As a result, I asked my Twitter and Facebook feeds "What should I draw to keep awake while at work?" These are the results.

(Please note, all drawings were taken with my cell phone within 5-20 mins of the request and posted on Twitter/FB in reply to the person requesting, hence the sloppiness and poor quality ( Read more... )

I don't post fanfic to my personal LJ any more, but I wrote this for a friend and don't belong to any suitable comms to post it. I'd like to have a place to save it to my memories, so please excuse the unexpected fic. :)

Woo! I finished NaNoWriMo today, a day early. I did a post about it on van_writing if you're so inclined to read it there.

I did a Wordle for all 50,000 words afterward to post, and I realized that I'd never done Wordles for my completed NaNo attempts before. Usually it's something I do around 25-30,000 words as a form of procrastination. XD So, for fun ( Read more... )

Here is a post of cute and happiness for everyone, 'cause we all need it or know someone who does. (Lots of big pics!)
