i've been trying not to be too down on myself for keeping up with my big planned project. but its hard. if i'm having a good joints day and i spend that doing hobbies instead of helping more then i feel lazy. but if i spend all my good joints days helping keep up with chores then i go a bit crazy from not being able to do my creative outlet. very very very difficult.
i can never remember how much about my Big Project for the year i've talked about on here. i know that i've been trying to keep things vague over on my tumblr, and that i've talked about it with irl friends since i'm pretty excited about it (at least, when i get enough good joint days in a row and think i might actually be able to finish it before the deadline). its gonna be very silly and very cool if/when i manage to pull this whole thing off.
at first i was planning on crocheting as much of a cosplay as possible, but my experiment with crochet socks has been Going Poorly and is currently sitting partly finished on my desk. so those are gonna be purchased from someone who can make a heel not be super uncomfy and bad texture. and now that i've got a sewing machine (birthday present from my very nice girlfriend) there's some other parts of the project i might sew since i think a thinner fabric than what i'm able to make crocheting would look nicer for some parts.
i've still got a lot of months before the event i'm making this thing for, so there's not Too much rush. some rush certainly, crocheting is a slow process when you're working with tiny yarn, but not like "oh no the convention is in a month" type rush. so it'll be fine
