A cell doodle! The cells of the immune system are one of my favourite topics and I'm hoping to finally start a project that features them.

The no-name girl from the previous daily doodle! I drew the protection around her that's preventing her from using the evil demon stones.

Multi-Blue Granny Square Crochet Maxi-Skirt Update #1

Update 0 | Here | Update 2 | Update 3 | Update 4 | Update 5 | Update 6

Technically this is update #2, but the first post was very bare-bones.

So, to get you up-to-date:

I decided to make a granny square maxi skirt. I started with the light blue yarn as that was what I had. I bought the multi-coloured blue yarn next and planned to make a 2 coloured skirt.

I needed to do some math to see how many squares I needed to make. Here it is:

Granny squares- 4 inches Hip measurement- 36 inches Length of skirt- 32 inches

Divide the measurements by the length of granny squares: 36 ÷ 4 = 9 and 32 ÷ 4 = 8

Multiply the results: 8 X 9 = 72

So I have 72 granny squares to crochet. To get how many I need to crochet in each colour, I divide 72 by 2 which is 36.

This changed when my sister said I should add a next colour.

I stuck with my blue theme of course. This addition meant that the math had to change. So now I divided 72 by 3 and got 24 which seems much more manageable to me even though I still have to crochet 72 granny squares.

I'm pretty close to my goal! I believe I have 15 or 16 of each at the time of writing this post.

My hands get REALLY sore after a short while crocheting, so I only crochet 3 a day. It's slow going but I'd rather practice patience than bust up my hands.

I also recently got these cute stitch markers! I'm not working on any projects that need stitch markers at the moment, but they worked really well at holding my squares together so I could see how the skirt looked so far!

Daily Doodles- Day 182- 18/10/24

This week was a rough one and I was tired, so I just did a simple doodle of a girl with her hair blowing in the wind.

Don't get it twisted. Jesus didn't hang out with prostitutes because He approved of their lifestyle. He engaged with them - He loved them! - because they were in desperate need of a Savior. Real love doesn't tolerate sin. Real love holds you in His arms and asks, "Child, why do you keep hurting yourself like this?"

a lot of people on tumblr and Ao3 seem to think Christianity (mainly Catholicism) is just a cool and sexy esthetic narrative force to make your characters guilty and repressed and I'm just like...

hey what about the grace? the grace of God? the grace God gave specifically so we wouldn't need to be guilty and repressed? God's grace? that grace? do they have that grace?

Another OC! This is Bruna Draven, a bird-type character. I remember putting a lot of thought into her design, but I never got around to working on her story.

She was supposed to be a jealous rich mean-girl, but she slithered her way into being the oblivious yet well meaning friend.

She, Rowen and Iris are all from the same universe and are friends.

Y'all, I woke up from a nap yesterday and opened tumblr to browse some dp x dc.

Tell me why the first fic that popped up was Danny being held captive and s**ually assaulted by the GIW! (I'm censoring the word because I don't want to assault anyone's eyes like mine were)

Like, I know this fandom likes angst, but geez!

I banished that thing like it was a demon and I had to cleanse my pallet or whatever the term is because I was immediately put in a bad mood.

This is why you gotta block certain tags or words and probably don't reach for your phone first thing.

I need to get back into reaching for my Bible instead. Let my eyes take in the good news instead.

Private Eye might be throwing stones from their own glass house, but I still enjoyed this:

[Text reads: Book review - Nevermind by Neil Gaiman. Strange, otherworldly tale in which a weird, gothic author is accused of inappropriate sexual behaviour over several decades. Mysteriously, by some dark magic, nobody in the real world pays any attention to the allegations, everyone looks the other way, and strangely cannot see anything wrong with the writer's conduct. What on earth is happening? Could it be that sinister forces, i.e. vested interests in publishing, film, television, theatre etc, would rather this story disappeared for good? Yes.]

Won't it be a terrible waste of the money he must be paying Edendale to bury this story if we all refuse to drop it?
