The husband – Turbo – has been breeding Argents in ARK. We have two good argentivis and he’s been obsessed with breeding in better ones. He then discovered the beauty of mutations and is now trying to breed those in as well. I admit that I don’t have the stomach for the part where he…

Much Random. Such Blathering.
Yesterday on ARK: Survival Evolved…
I’ve been playing ARK with my husband on a shared server with friends since mid-December. We’ve slowly built up a basis on the Island and have set goals to accomplish for the near term. The aim is to build up so that we are ready for Boss Battles in the future. Yesterday was a banner…
Moar Bagz!*
*Yes, I am a fan of “I can has cheezburger?” I received the custom embroidery designs for the two organizations that I will be making (and donating) stuff to. I made some zip bags with them; I’ll post those up once I get permission to share the images. In the meantime, here are pictures…
The Super Bowl was Yesterday?
I like sports. I really do. However, the lack of a successful sporting team in this area (and there are professional baseball, basketball, football, and hockey teams nearby) has resulted in me losing interest in most sporting events. However, I usually make an effort to watch The Big Game, mainly because I like the commercials….
Well that didn’t take long…
Falling back into old habits is so easy. I ended up not updating my bullet journal on weekends, then went from Jan 24-29 without writing a note. I have to do better. The purpose of the journal is to help me understand how I am using/not using my time; it also allows me to capture…
Modified Shirt Day
Here’s another of my work shirts – branded with something more akin to my personality. Forgive the cat hair – it’s a thing that happens in my home. Thanks again to Urban Threads for having such awesome designs! #nerdyme #ctrlaltdel #embroidery #urbanthreads
Machine Embroidery is Hard
I did manage to complete 2 free standing lace coasters on Friday. It took a lot more effort and attention in order to get them completed, but they looked wonderful. I was so happy! However, things went poorly from there on out. On Saturday, I started on rebranding one of my polo shirts. I disregarded…
Developing the Brand of Me
Two important facts: At the beginning of this year, my employer changed the company logo. I have a bunch of apparel that has the old logo on it. As far as the company is concerned, this is fine to continue wearing; however, I am customer facing and plan on getting replacement clothing with the new…
Sewing Stuff
Since I decided (at GenCon last year) that I would begin sewing again, I’ve made a few random things: Dog collars (for a friend of mine who runs a dog rescue charity) Dog costumes (for my dogs for Halloween) Dog sweaters (for my dogs and others) Sewing class projects: Pillowcase with French seams Car organizer…
Chocolate Frog!
A dear friend of mine went to “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter” and brought me a Chocolate Frog! We were both surprised at how big it is: And I was super pleased that none other than the great Albus Dumbledore was the featured wizard:
