Sometimes I sew things such as plushies and accessories although I'm pretty much an amateur at making both. I'm currently working on (procrastinating first) a white fleece bunny hat - the inspiration for making one came from the fact that I'd really like to have something to wear for Halloween, even though bunnies probably aren't exactly scary. We'll see how it turns out if it does.

I write, sometimes? Mostly fanfic, but I'm slowly working my way through an original novel. (when I say slowly, I mean glacially). Also, I sing

My grandma embroiders T-towels and pillow cases. We have a lady at my work who makes some pretty epic cupcakes. During the eclipse on Auguest 21, she made Eclipse Cupcakes! They looked quite nice and tasted good. She made Halloween Themed cupcakes the other day but I was not feeling up to having one.

I've tried to learn a new skill each summer and have taken on bookmaking, jewelry and metalworking, leather crafting, and sculpture. It's fun to learn each skill and while I don't become the best at it, I like thinking I'm a jack of all trades. I want to take up screen printing next because it'd be cool to have my own shirts and stuff made.

Oy, this. I really want to publish a novel, but I keep jumping between three of them and feel like I make no progress. I think all of the ideas have been alive for like 5 years, so two of them are technically about 1/3 through, but lately it just seems like I'm not even adding anything on even when I reach a word count goal. I keep thinking I want to make a career out of it but am seeming to show that I don't have enough dedication.

I really need to get back to some sculpture and animation. I most consistently make costumes for cosplay. The last one was Rey from Star Wars but it wasn't as much hand making as I'm used to. Usually I go for a prop centered costume because of the whole sculpture thing.

I generally do humaniods (like humans, fairies, elves, anthros, etc) and equines, finding myself inadequate with pretty much anything else. >.> And even then I am not really good at it. I don't care what people say - I can always find a flaw somewhere that bugs me about my stuff. xD I occasionally attempt scenes or other creatures, but having little time to practice on them due to schoolwork, I don't usually draw those.

I always have a hard time drawing horses, I really find their legs frustrating to draw. I also think the people who enjoy drawing backgrounds are far and few between.

Oh, by me the list goes on, even if in the last times I had icredibly little time:

- Drawing, did that more often when I was younger, but I still tend to make pictures, though I'm kind of the option that dragons and clothing designs are the ones which I can truly make look good... I still need more practice, but my Chinese teacher is also teaching me calliography so I'm probably also going to end up something with that

- Writing -> fanfiction (due to little time I started to make notes for my fics...the current one ended up becomming a crossover and...rather scarry if the currently lenght of my notes is already by 70 pages...

- Cosplay costumes, till now the hardest project I did and will be re-doing sometime would be my Szalyel (Bleach) cosplay...of course I needed to pick the resurected form nightmare and not the sympler one...

- Cosplay accesoaries and jewelry: Currently I have made a pair of earrings and working on finishing up the God Slaying dagger from the Saint Seiya series

I balme my father for all of this as he is the one who tends to thinker on something, though he can also make selves unlike me...I once mentioned using the saw and both my parents yelled no in unions...

I'm super excited because I finally got a serger! My cosplay seams will be soooo much better now.

Decided to make a dress out of some clearance fabric I've had for YEARS. Giant photo of me under the spoiler. Dress is missing the straps so I'm having to hold it up, otherwise mostly done.
