I know a lot of you love to play Apples to Apples.  I found a place online to play!

go here to download the game program and the module.
  I just downloaded the basic module 1.0 for now.

Then, even if we're not all in one place we can play Apples to Apples some night.

If you do decided to download it, leave a comment with the name you're using on the game.

27th-Apr-2009 09:03 pm - WIP: Mystery Lace Weight Shawl
ghostworld
More work has been done on my lace shawl.  I figure it's a small enough project for me to work on at work.  I even got complemented on it by our HR lady and the CEO.  So yeah, it's an easier pattern than I thought so it's going quickly.  Here's the latest picture.



25th-Apr-2009 10:38 pm - More LARP stuff
ghostworld
LARP last night was a blast.  Addy started the night at humanity 3..and well, she was given a choice of her 'unlife' or the life of the police officer which Mohammad had captured.  Obviously, she chose hers and well, diablarie occurred.  Police officer is no more.  So she's down to humanity 1 and is in the process of picking a path. 

I'm seriously leaning towards death and the soul...it seems really interesting and it would fit in if I decided to go to the Giovanni game in Iowa City.  And plus my clan-mate can teach it to me.  I'll have to do a bit more research.  And since Addy is at humanity 1, it may just be a little easier to get a house since she has basically no money.  I was thinking of having Addy break into the house she found, tying up the owner and then stealing her (if it's a girl) identity. It would be a way to keep under the radar..and well Addy has a Tzimisce in her pack to make her look like the owner.  I'll just need to check and see what abilities Addy would need to get to pull this off.

And once I finish Boone's Doctor Who scarf, I promised to make a Cam character for the Iowa City Cam game.  I'm scrapping my first concept because it just seems cheesy now.  Or maybe I'll revamp it.  I was thinking along the lines of "Paula Dean, the vampire".  Which could be interesting.   But I'll throw out some ideas and see if anyone could find any problems with it.

I ordered the Sabbat Guide, Cam Guide and the Laws of the Night off of Amazon.com.  So I'll have my very own copies.  *evil laugh*  That way I won't feel bad about taking Brad's all the time and him not knowing where they went.

I have decided to hold off on the Mystery Lace Weight shawl.  I've tried starting it several times, but it just hurts my fingers.

So I made another Ziggy Scarf one in purple and one in blue.

I don't have a picture of the purple one (which I made for my friend, Cassy), but here's the blue one (which I made for my friend, Jenn).



And I'm working on a hat for Brad that I promised to make for him.  Skater hat

I'm not quite finished with it since I don't know if it will fit yet.  But here's a pic of it so far:



At this point, I have a bit more done.  I have another purple stripe.  I'll get an updated picture posted later.  It's basically finished, I just hope it fits.

3rd-Mar-2009 02:00 pm - LARP-age
ghostworld
I will actually be getting my butt in gear and will actually be LARPing on the 13th.  I think it was Brad that said "Most Sabbat members are really young and have no idea what's going on".  I guess that just struck a chord with me and I thought to myself, well there ya go.  And of course there was a promise of chili if I actually played.  *grin*

I had trouble sleeping last night so I was thinking about LARP and stuff. 

Technically my character has really only met Gator and James' character, whose name escapes me at the moment.  I got to wondering if my character would actually have access to the in character list.  I was going to make an introduction post that basically said this:

Greetings my brothers and sisters:

I recently moved to your city after meeting Gator and <James' character> at the Palle Grande while I was visiting Decatur last year.  They spoke of their fight in Birmingham and how, upon their return, their city was taken over by the Camarilla.  I got my affairs together back east and moved here to aid in your fight.


And then maybe add a bit more to the note.  Not sure that this point.  I'll need to think and get my creative juices flowing again.

Now...does anyone know of a good place to get a hot pink bra?

3rd-Mar-2009 01:41 pm - WIP: Mystery Lace Weight Shawl
ghostworld
I stumbled upon a group at Ravelry for a mystery crochet-a-long.  I decided to give it a try.  I still need to go buy yarn today.  I have no idea what color to use.  I was thinking of a grey color so it might go with anything.  But we'll see.

The pattern can be found here.  One clue will be released each week.  I need to get the first clue done before this weekend.

When I purchase my yarn today, I will post some pictures.  Yay!  It should be easy to get this done since I'll only be working a bit at a time.

3rd-Mar-2009 01:38 pm - FO: Ziggy Scarf
ghostworld
I had decided to test out a lace pattern (with cotton yarn) for Christmas presents this year.  I really like this pattern which can be found here.

Ziggy Scarf


I used an I hook and I used some of the Cotton-ese in Berry from Lion Brand that I had in my stash.  I will try to get a pic of me wearing it at some point.  I do like that with the cotton yarn the scarf isn't stiff and scratchy.  And it lies nicely too.



2nd-Mar-2009 10:51 am - Decorating Cubicles
ghostworld
So it has been brought to my attention that I need to decorate my work space.  I am currently trying (and failing) to make the invincibility star from super mario brothers.  Any ideas or thoughts for decorations or stuff to put on/around my desk.  Keep in mind, it needs to be "work appropriate".  I was thinking of maybe some funny comic strips or pictures to print off.

Let me know your ideas.  I'm pretty clueless at the moment and well, I'm a bit lazy. :)

Bring on the ideas!!!  Please?
