yuuago☆ So, I took Karo's drawings down to the framing place! And I did not die! Amazing. :D The woman who runs the gallery/frame joint was very helpful, and it wasn't any trouble to find a suitable matting/frame for those. (Also, she kept gushing about how adorable the Small Trolls painting was, heeeee.) And now that I have this, I'll be able to switch into this frame any future drawings I acquire that happen to be in A5 size. (Siiigh, I really wish I had more display space....) And now that I've done this, I think the next framing project will be to get a proper frame for that one I commissioned years ago from my pal Nunuut (this one); I still love it so much, and the cheapass frame it's in really does not do it justice.
☆ ALSO I discovered that the gallery/frame shop... is also a yarn store. ?!! I didn't even know we HAD a yarn store here. And they have all kinds of LOVELY things, including some Alberta-sourced alpaca yarn that I've been interested in trying for a while, and -- well. This is wonderful and terrible. xD Easy access to expensive yarn? Awful! (Awful for my wallet, that is.) But it's nice to know that I won't need to place an internet order if I want to buy some new needles, at the very least. ...And this reminds me that I reaaaallly should finish the project I have on the go. And block the one I previously finished. Oh dear.
☆ I've had to raise my Camp NaNo goal several times this month. Currently at 10k, and I'm only about 400 off from hitting that... I'm so pleased, even though I feel like I don't have a lot to show for it. :D I have so many drafts that need editing, oh dear....
The following list is of stories that are complete, but not presentable yet - they're typed up from the handwritten version, and I haven't edited them yet.
-Rare Slash exchange fic (of course...)
-YiH: 500-word (ish) genfic slapped down after most recent update* - unsure if I'll finish it before the next page goes up. Oh well~
-YiH: the whole "Veeti wakes up and Jaako has to deal with all that" scenario, with some bonus hints of soulmates-across-universes nonsense. Prrrobably won't finish this before the chapter ends, but who knows.
-SSSS OCs: Vesa/Suvi, awkward courting, this thing was 9 handwritten pages and I am thoroughly sick of it so I'm just going to... let it sit for like a month or so, I think.
-Original stuff: Something from my Jacques/Yuriy stories; it's set in Victoria, so maybe when I'm there, I'll be inspired to finish it.
-MMFR: I wrote a weird Angharad/Coma fic ages ago, and the draft was only finished relatively recently... I guess I'll edit it eventually but ehhh [/SHRUG]
-[Redacted]: Utter glurge and I'm unsure whether this draft is even finished or not. I... uh... need to look at it again.
