that's great :D I made my first candle today, it was fun XD

it's a kick ass blade! Is it your first cw?

it sounds really comical when he does Dad's voice too - that comes across really gruff and nothing like Dad's voice at all :P

Thanks :D The foxy lining fabric was a lucky find in a local shop laughs sometimes I get really lucky and find the perfect fabric, other times they just seem to have boring plain fabric and nothing really interesting at all ;) Not yet on the photos, but I'm hoping maybe today will work for that ;) Any particular idea of what you want to do embroidery on / what design you've got in mind? I found some "soft coat" (basically fake wool so it's machine washable :P) fabric on offer yesterday, so I've ordered some to make a winter's coat from.... I'd love to stitch a design on the back of that to liven it up, but I've not got a clue what kind of design to do, or even if my skill level would let me do that laughs

hehe and if it's me remembering, then that's almost guaranteed that I won't :P Loving the floating eye look today, what's the tree silhouette with the ravens?

takes a few steps back from your HA Now that looks epic! :D

Love the use of those eyeballs! And yes, first CW, by the amazing Cathii.

Thank you! ❤ Good job with the cardigan! When I first saw them in the news I was like...the heck you use this thing? XD

hehe even truer XD Why thank you. It's the just got it XD How on earth did you manage to not have a gaping hole with the whiteout? IT looks great but I just got ugly white cut out holes.

ooh thanks XD hehe. I love Halloween XD congrats!!

that's almost my thought when I saw it - Niamh insisted on having all the colours though (and no doubt

I didn't realise the ravens were a separate item - that's awesome layering! :D laughs more by luck than judgement :P It's the same cutout I used yesterday, then the wood flooring and a coloured filter thingy over the top just to make it all look like it's not ugly white 😇 Private Outfit

thanks :D I see! I don't know if I could ever really work with those things o.0

hehe well you never know - maybe they'll add in some more mid-background height items that would still layer with the whiteout, and that'd help cover the background a little more ;)

Cool! :D I have decorated candles with decoupage. And once I played with making candles too- the candles were see-through- so I added shells and stuff for decorations inside them. In see-through jars.

I bet, would make me laugh. Hearing a budgie talking with a gruff voice. :P

I can't believe my twitness pung myself instead of you, ... XD

especially when it's something that Mum says in a really sing-song high voice and Sparky repeats it in a gruff one :P laughs

hehe I just put it down to you being tired that early in the morning ;).... the other day I realised I'd left out the ping entirely from my reply and I didn't have any excuse on it being early or anything like that 😊

Leaving the ping out entirely seems better than what I did. =0P But thank you, sometimes I get a little scrambled. XD especially when doing two things at once.

or maybe partial vanishing creams....

ooh sounds fantastic :o

hehe that's just a sign that you clearly need to do three things at once 😇 At least you pinged yourself and not a random other person :P

sits and admires your HA that's an awesome lion :D I'm hoping there'll be some more things like that released this month.... and that Morostide starts soon of course laughs I've almost got the jeans blog post written (got the photos done yesterday) so that'll give me plenty of time to spend on here once I've got that finished ;)

That is looking on the bright side. I would feel like a jerk doing that. XD "Hey, poor sot who doesn't know me, come waste a moment of your time confusedly trying to figure out why the heck you were pinged here"

That is a really cute HA, I clicked your heart, because big kitty.

or the times when people have accidentally hit the hash key instead of an apostrophe, and pinged the hashtag S group 😇

...that would be a terrible hashtag for that reason. XD ouch. Though at least on public forums you can click in and see that it was the wrong ping - it's annoying when you're pinged on a private forum and you get "You're not a member of this group!" and you're like...but then, why did you ping me? =0P

[edit] I have accidentally done that to people, forgetting I wasn't in a "public" part of the site. XD

Sounds like Sparky got a really big personality :D Gotta love that in a pet. <3

The candles did end up looking really cute! We bought candle wax that looked like clear gelly- melted it, pouring it into see through jars as I said that has been decorated with shells and stuff. I believe we added some blue colouring too- to make it look more like the sea. :) What kinda candles are you making?

that's very true - I've had group pinged from private forums before, clicked through and just get that error - and you never end up finding out what the ping was actually for! At least with personal pings it's easier to tell the person what the ping was about ;)

Definitely :D I found a new toy for him the other week, which was very similar to the one Raven got for him - Sparky ignores it all day, then when I turn out the light above his cage, he cuddles up to the toy then starts squabbling with it.... I think when it's dark, he assumes it's the same one he had before, but once he cuddles up to it he realises it's different 😇

I think I learned a new word today.. squabbling. lol Thanks google! A lot of fun to say. xD

Aww, Maybe auntie Raven will have to go to the pet store and see if she can find a new one that is just like the one he used to have. :)

hehe it's does have a nice ring to it ;) I wondered after I typed it if it was a word you'd come across before ;) I think it's down to the shape of the toy - Raven's one had wooden shapes that were upright, but the one I got him has more like hoops of wood that are flat, so the edges stick out more. But if Sparky eats a bit of the wood (like he did with that previous one), he'd be able to mould the shape so it's nicer to cuddle 😇
