you talk, i walk, wanna feel the danger

song+ Get Outta My Way -Kylie Minogue -Aphrodite
book+ nothing
quest+ commissioned plush
upper+ great weather lately
downer+ lost a long-time pair of flip flops
attire+ black leggings, denim skirt and a Thor tee
drink+ Dr Pepper


i'm working my way through the testing phase of the pattern i figured out for a plush one of our gaming friends commissioned from me. i also think i'll take along some materials to work on drafting a Psyduck plush at MSD scale, which was something i was specifically asked if i could do. i'm pretty sure i can, but the one i already promised takes priority.

yesterday was the quilting club, which was pleasant but overall uneventful. Jenni and i pretty much decided to do next year's blocks for the fun of sewing them, then give them to Mom since she likes the colorway and we really don't. like it's pretty enough, but it's really not something i'd keep for myself. i like bright colors and interesting visual textures, this is muted neutral tones and tiny florals. some of the scraps should work pretty well for doll stuff, but the blocks themselves i have no interest in retaining.

anyway, after that when i was home again, for a reason i no longer recall Kyu was gonna walk up to the gas station and asked if i wanted to come along. i said sure, and we're not even around the corner of our own apartment when some jerk takes the turn WAY too fast. Kyu had to literally jump about a foot to the left to avoid being hit, which bumped me and i had to scramble to stay upright. my left flip flop didn't survive the trauma, it snapped at the toe strap, with the ends too frayed to sew back together, so they got thrown away and i'm now on to one of my remaining pairs. i haven't worn them in years and my prior strap callouses have gone away. the walk to and from the gas station in them ripped open the tops of both feet, so i'm feeling less than awesome today, but i'll get by. the plan is crafty productivity, we'll see what i actually manage to get done, i guess.
