So, the BFF and I love to go to antique stores. For many years now, we've had this fun thing, a slight competition where one attempts to find the ugliest and/or creepiest item in the store. Alas, I won today. What the heck even is this monstrosity? Those teeth, good god. Nightmare fuel.

not being Lego brand, it had some tiny issues. But overall, I'm really pleased. It had a color scheme from my favorite painting. I need a diff holder, but that will come later. Something rustic and stoneware, I think.

still crocheting, still trying to stay sane and safe. almost done playtesting my #dnd module I designed, this week should be the finale. Not sleeping so well with everything that's going on.

mayoral runoff - I do NOT want an ex-cop in charge.

haven't been able to do much lately due to my hands hurting. trying that mile-a-minute crochet pattern, though.

finally started that D&D pattern from Etsy. Not too hard, I think it'll be cute. Might back it with felt or make it into a dice tray.

Well, the Friendica blog has been not working for a couple months now and they're still "continuing investigation into the issues"... So I'm moving house for that. You can now find me at desertiefling.substack.com and I'll get it all set up in a day or two. It's mostly my honest opinions of the […]

so pleased with how this is going. just a few more flowers as the glue cures and they'll be done. These are some rose petal beads. #dnd #d&D #tieflings #cosplay

I have a small blog where I review purchases and generally update my life, super simple. It's on a Mastodon-style thing, though, and it hasn't been working right for several weeks. Anyone know of a simple site to use with an easy editor? Free required. I just upload pics and write. I'll go back […]

horn progress - added beads to this side, drilled a hole through the other tip for a jump ring, deciding what to hang from it. Will be attaching flowers around the base of each. Really loving the personalization so far. #dnd #cosplay #tieflings gonna work on the tail today w/EVA foam. wish me luck.

Also started a new section, decided on spirals. #embroidery #blackwork

got some burnt umber paint and did a thin wash to get some shadows into the seams and such for more aging and depth. I think it worked. Looks much better now. #dnd #tiefling

If you park in a no parking zone so close to a car in a disabled spot that they can't get in to go home, you're definitely an asshole.

tis only a 1st coat (I also need to buy some burnt umber to do some shading) and there will eventually be some gold chain and dangles, but I've discovered the versatility of paintable foam clay. :) #d&D #dnd #tieflings

final pair of tiefling horns arrived. Shadowfall workshop is so awesome! this is their "Twilight" color, a kind of iridescent purple-gray. #d&D #dnd #tieflings

done with that bit! there was a rather narrow bit on that side, so I found a cute set of "cut gems" and have two so far. There will be a few more there. #blackwork #embroidery

Next section is almost done. I oopsed on the 3rd line up, but just stretched it all the way across for consistency. I love how these patterns can do that. #embroidery #blackwork

SUPER CUTE! Tiefling horns that attach to your headset with velcro strips. I love them! ("gray silk" color on mine) Made by BeamTeam3D.com, they're also on Etsy. They'll be loads of fun for gaming sessions via discord/Roll20. #dnd #d&D #rpg #tieflings

next little area finished. #embroidery #blackwork

Pink Pony Soft Serve in Albuquerque is da BOMB. woman-owned, makes their own ice cream with local dairy milk, real whipped cream, even the cherries are clearly not cheap maraschino ones. This was a total delight and an amazing rich treat. #icecream #albuquerque

and now the right side is done. #blackwork #embroidery
