@0v7: More hairstyles? Are you just exploring at this point? Still trying to expand your portfolio?

@sunny: I got some groceries and am taking care of a few things around the house as well. Tomorrow is our Thanksgiving holiday, which is all about food and family and being grateful for what we have, so I'm kind of preparing for that, but it's going slowly, which is fine actually, since it's just going to be us and my stepson who will be coming over. So I'm trying to take it easy and not go overboard with the food or preparations, but it's hard to do that when there's a holiday involved. :3 Are you still doing the editing on that one story or have you gone on to something else now?

@Wildfire: See my last post lol - I made a lil guide on how I draw curls for someone who had no idea how

@Purpsy: drawing fabric can be difficult. Like with anything though, more practice and experience tends to make a task easier

@0v7: Nice image and documentation of your thought process, Seb! Way to go! I'm guessing this is what you've been working on?

@Wildfire: Yep! I already submitted my pixelist app last night so I get to draw... whatever lol.

@0v7: That's awesome, Seb. I'm happy for you :3 Good luck with the position! You are really enjoying the pixeling thing, aren't you?

@Wildfire: Thank you! It's pretty interesting to learn the Voltra style - I mean, you saw the concept I did initially for that one hair lol - certainly a learning curve for me, because I don't remember the last time I painted something before that. I'm hoping I'm accepted - if not, it's a good learning experience and I can always submit my items in the item suggestion thread for someone else to redo and publish.

I quit Voltra. Read my profile.

@0v7: That's an awesome attitude to have and I hope things work out for you :3 Learning anything is always a good thing IMO! You never know when or how the skills may come in handy! ;)

@Vixen: Hey Vixen! How are you today??

@Wildfire: Oh that's right,Thanksgiving. I knew it was coming up sometime soon! I hope you manage to chill and bit and don't get TOO stressed about it....
I am still technically working on those edits from the other night, but I keep distracting myself with another story. I just want to live in this world forever :D

@Purpsy: they do a lot of funny things that I wish I'd caught on camera XD

@sunny: Thanks Sunny. I'll be ok. I'm actually scaling back the dinner preparations quite a bit for this year. It'll be more of a regular meal, with turkey instead of some other protein and a couple of extra veggie side dishes than what I might normally consider a proper Thanksgiving meal, but that's fine. This year has just tuckered me out in terms of wanting to do things - including cooking elaborately (which I didn't think I was doing, but in retrospect, it was more elaborate than what I've been doing lately) -shrug-

Which story world do you want to live in? - the one you're writing about now, or the one you're doing edits for?

@Wildfire: It sounds like alot of stress to me, but it sounds like you're prepared for it. I'm sure it will be delicious, your food always is!
I want to live in the world of the story I'm currently writing, the one I am using as a distraction. It's about two women who live in the Arctic circle and they have magical powers etc.

Wildfire

Friend PM Trade

@sunny: Oh! That could definitely be an interesting world to live in!!

I'm so used to cooking all the time, it's not a big deal at this point, but I'm taking some shortcuts that I don't usually... like using canned cranberry sauce, and jarred gravy instead of making it myself. My menu: Turkey, out-of-a-bag bread stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts with bacon, carrot and mint salad/side, kale salad with cranberries, rolls (bought), canned corn, maybe spaghetti squash and/or roasted root veggies (pumpkin, acorn squash, carrots, parsnips)... then some of the usual sides (applesauce, cranberry sauce, pickles, olives, pickled onions, etc.), pie (frozen and premade) with ice-cream.

@Wildfire: That sounds like so much food! How many people is it for? It all sounds delicious, and there's a good few things in there that I've never tried.

Wildfire

Friend PM Trade

@sunny: Five total - me, my husband, our two boys, and my stepson. I may not end up making all of it. We'll see. If I was smart, I should have made the carrot-mint salad today, but I didn't. The brussel sprouts and spaghetti squash are super easy in the pressure cooker. The hardest part of making the kale salad is massaging the kale and letting it rest before serving. Pretty much everything else except for the turkey is opening a can or a jar and maybe warming it. BTW, you're English, right? I have a fuzzy recollection of my grandmother (English) making some kind of onion gravy... I don't suppose that rings any bells for you??

sunny

Friend PM Trade

@Wildfire: That's good that it shouldn't take too much effort. I always worry about you with how much cooking you seem to do :O will the others help?
Yes, I'm English and I do recognise onion gravy, we have it with sausages and mashed potato, sometimes. Not with other meats like chicken/turkey.

Wildfire

Friend PM Trade

@sunny: Yes, I do a lot of cooking. I blame my Italian ancestry but nobody goes hungry around this house!! XD
I may have to pick your brain about that onion gravy at a later time. I remember my grandmother bringing it to holiday meals. I also remember not liking it a whole lot as a child, but I'm sure my tastes have changed since then, and it would be nice to reconnect with that part of my ancestry a little. :3 What you describe does ring a bell or two in my fuzzy memory!

@Wildfire: We also have onion gravy with pies etc. But I don't know anything about making it, I am quite a novice when it comes to cooking, and I never cook or eat meat so I don't eat anything in order to need onion gravy.

currently: new novel who dis?
