Journal Entry: Thu Feb 28, 2008, 12:23 PM
:sushi: Welcome :sushi:
Yes, my gallery is rather random, mainly because I have the attention span of a three-year-old. My main craft is crochet, but you'll also find all sorts of other crafts, plus the occasional drawing, painting, and, every once in a while, I get lucky with my camera and capture an interesting shot. I also have a bizarre sense of humor, which is reflected in more than one of my pieces. Enjoy!

Heh... this is so simple! I just got featured on *pcmommy2b's journal, so now it's my turn to post this...

Rules:
The first ten people who reply to this journal and tell me that they want a spot, will have me go through their gallery and pick three deviations, which in turn will be featured in this journal.

The catch is that to qualify, you MUST post a similar journal.
This gives us an opportunity to really appreciate and support this artistic global community we've got going on here.

Well, that should be it, but since I got such a great response to this offer, I think I'm gonna keep going for a few more features!

On the craft front, I've been so busy working on my competition crafts that I nearly forgot about my grandma's birthday next week! Good thing I have some partially done projects set aside for just such an occasion. Hopefully, I can finish something tomorrow so that I can get it in the mail before the weekend.

:sushi: Work in Progress :sushi:
This is a competition year for me, so I will be focusing on crafts that I can use as contest entries. I will be working on the other items already on my WIP list as I find time, but I will not be adding anything new until I have completed the 25 craft items I will need for the Homemaker's Competition coming up in October. I am also no longer going to promise gifts for specific dates because I never seem to be able to get anything done in time lately. Instead, I will just say that there will be a gift forthcoming...

:bulletgreen: B-day gift for Isabeau-Gower (this is very late :( ) ~~~ Nozomi Temari
:bulletgreen: B-day gift for ~nekojitachan (this is now late, as well :( ) ~~~ Rufus doll (from Final Fantasy VII) This is to match with the Reno doll [link] I made her in 2006.
:bulletgreen: gift for ^JunkbyJen ~~~ Melville II
:bulletgreen: gift for *hedspace77 ~~~ Kokeshi doll (in reds)
:bulletgreen: special request for Mom ~~~ Godzilla
:bulletgreen: just because I really want to ~~~ Audrey II, Usagi Yojimbo, Momotaro
Random Ideas:
:bulletgreen: Grocer's basket with fruits & vegetables
:bulletgreen: Gourmet cheese selection
:bulletgreen: Chess set
:bulletgreen: Nesting dolls

All Homemaker's Competition 2008 items are tentative entries as I am prone to changing my mind about an item midway through actually completing said item. I will be making crafts for these specific categories, but the rules for entries have changed in recent years, so I may not be able to use some of them. We'll find out what can and can't be entered in the competition when the entry forms are distributed in August.

Oh oh oh... pick me! Pick me!! Oops.. sorry... this is what happens you watch too many episodes of the Simpsons! =p

If you would be so nice to feature me though, it'd be greatly appreciated. :) I'll just have to find a way to re-pay you.
