Various Thoughtstuffs
Jul. 31st, 2013 10:33 pmAm now at the stage of pregnancy where turning over in bed at night is uncomfortable and difficult. Fortunately, that is about the extent of my difficulties.
I've started a new embroidery project. At some point, I found at Savers a couple stacks of pre-printed quilt-blocks-to-embroider, and as they were $cheap!, I bought the lot. One of the sets is sixteen squares, 18" each, of butterflies and flowers. I'm on block two at the moment, and am planning on doing them all in different colors since cookie-cutter embroidery just seems boring for this project. Plus I'm delighting in using up some of my floss. I have three boxes of embroidery floss. Some of it needs to go. Now, granted, I don't expect to have this done much before Squiddle goes off to college (I know myself and my average attention span), but for now it's keeping my hands busy.
I find myself slightly disappointed in the Pacific Rim fandom on AO3. There's a goodly number of stories... but they all seem to be either pairing-based (which, I suppose the basic setup of the universe makes that all too easy...), or exact retellings of the movie substituting in characters from a different fandom/series. Which, c'mon, people, you're writers. Can't I get a little creativity here?
