Plymoth - A Fiction Novel

Image
I have posted a randomly generated plots before, though I don't remember when I did it :P, I found the website, called Plot Generator , that I used and created another one and this one is just as funny as the first one. And while I don't remember when I shared the first one here, if I did that, I did remember to save it and print it out. Any how here is the randomly generated plot blurb that I did, using a fake/random author name.

The night of the snow storm changes everything for Daniel Cox, a 60-year-old mechanic from Plymouth. One moment, he is discussing stamps with his intuitive aunt, Stanley Bond; the next, watching with horror as arrogant pixies burgle each other. He knows these pixies came from Liverpool but he can't prove it - at least not without some tattered robots. The adorable, brave m...

Getting Craft with Some Wood

Image
I honestly don't remember exactly when I came up with the idea for this project, but once it showed up it didn't want to leave. Part of how this project came to me is that I had purchased the wood at Michael's for something else that ended up not working with the piece. Since I had already removed the packaging I couldn't return it so I had to think of something else to use it for. The picture I took and used. Again I don't remember how I exactly thought of this but I went with it anyhow.

After I traced the words onto the wood I plugged in the wood burner that we have and went to work burning the letters. With the wood burner it didn't take that long to do the letters and I like the way that they turned out. Before I actually did the letters I used a heart stencil on the ba...

Labor of Love Blanket

This blanket started out as an idea that I based off of something similar that a friend of mine did. And the thought for this blanket came to me on Halloween of last year (2017) and I went with it though it took a little bit longer to actually form into a physical blanket. Since I wanted this to be a surprise for my sister and her husband, I knew that I wouldn't be able to make it all myself. So I enlisted the help of my grandma and some friends to make some squares for the blanket. I also made a bunch for the blanket as well don't worry ;). Originally it was supposed to be finished in time for my sister's bridal shower back in April, but that didn't happen. The day before the shower I went over to my grandma's house to start sewing the squares together so that my sister wouldn't be able to see it. As my grandma and I were laying out the squares that we had on the table, we both realized that we needed to add another row of squares as well as make several...
