That's a lot of acronyms! I would rather have everything in one large post than several smaller ones. Apologies to those of you who have gotten comment spam from me lately. I have been trying to catch up on blogs and have decided the easiest way to do this is just go down the list alphabetically instead of chronologically!
Firstly! Gifted Gorgeousness hosted by the Serendipitous Jo. I have continued on with Rathalos after finding a pinkish sort of brown that actually looks right (for the interested it wound up being DMC 758 lol). I felt kinda silly having my husband pick out a matching color (since this gift is for him!) but I think he had fun playing with all the floss in the store haha. :D
He finally has his full lower jaw and it is finally not being frogged. I've also started progress on his wing. There's really not much left to him! I've been saving his fireball for last since he really doesn't need more weapons right now.
Next(ly) part 1! IHSW hosted by the Random Rambling Joyce! It appears I wasn't the only one curfluffled by the "full" weekends in August. We'll have two this month though I don't know if I will get much done next weekend due to prior engagements. Final Fantasy III came out to see the light of day but not a whole lot got accomplished this weekend.
I managed to fill in more of his cape in the previously-frogged area above the I and N as well as finish the F in Fantasy. I am hesitating on the rest of the cape as it seems like the next color, as much as I love it, is clashing with the rest of them. I need more time to think on it. Luckily "Fantasy" is a long word. :b
Next(ly) part 2! Singer sewing machine! I think I may have borrowed some serendipity from Jo. Would you believe I found attachments for it in my last foray into a thrift store? I think they must be from the same people as the machine -- the buttonhole attachment was missing the plate adapter... and guess what was in the drawer of the Singer! :D It's funny how the things have wound up in different places.
If you cannot see from the picture, the haul included:
• Buttonhole attachment and five cams (green case)
• Zigzag attachment (unfortunately not the automatic one with all the really neat cams for different style stitches but I will keep watching for it!)
• Eight packages of needles, different sizes (9-16)
• Blind stitch attachment
• Hemstitch and Picot attachment (!)
• Stocking Darner
• Multi-slotted Binder foot
• Lubricant and motor lubricant, both still sealed though I'm unsure if they can still be used. I shall contact Singer directly and see what they have to say.
All for a grand total of $7.50! I could barely contain my joy. And every single one has the original manual and all are in such good shape. From the manuals, I've been able to identify some other odds and ends that were in the drawers of the sewing machine, too.
Lastly! TUSAL!
I feel like there's all sorts of stuff in there since last time, most of which are the frogged bits from Rathalos and FFIII. So my TUSAL progress is mostly negative stitching progress! What fun is that! >:|
And that's all she wrote~ Quick, run away before she finds more to talk about! :D
