So while I have another post almost ready to go (just need to finish a teeny-tiny bit first), let me start my latest catching-up-run with two more than overdue SALs. The first one is easy as usual - witness my mighty TUSAL jar (lol):
For Ton of Tiny, I finished te July installment of Magical's ornaments of the month. I really like this one, it reminds me of poinsettas and trees of life ^_^
I also worked more on Dark Force and finished page 4 (and a bit more, which I'm saving for my almost-ready post). Page 5 is only two columns, so I haven't taken it out of the snap for a full picture yet, but I will soon ^_^
I also had a bit of prgress gaming and reading: gamingwise, I finished Sound Shapes, a music-centered game where one of the main tasks (besides some jump 'n run action) is rebuilding melodies and rhythmns by listening, and I picked up a really old GameBoy Colour Game, a Jump 'n Run to the Papyrus-cartoon that I never finished when I was younger, and played right through it so I can finally put it away.
Readinwise, I finished The Martian - I recently saw a trailer for the movie version and that reminded me of how strongly Carla had recommended the book, so I picked it up on my kindle and read the whole thing in less than two weeks, which is really fast given my current schedule and reading speed. I loved it, it was hilarious, while still being technically acurate. I might even read the whole thing again sometime, or listen to the audio book of which I have heard great things as well ^_^

I love how Dark Forces is looking!
I have given The Martian to every geeky person I know, I really ought to read it myself.
Dark forces us looking great!
Great progress! Glad you like your new laptop.Your orts are very nice, and congrats on the pretty finish.
Ooooo a new laptop! Enjoy it. Great progress on Dark Forces. Love the ornament, you did really well with all the backstitching - mine always looks "eh".
Beautiful progress and congrats on the new laptop and finishing the game!
You have been much busier than I have! I'm so glad you are getting stitching done in between all of your events and family!
Cute monthly tiny and great progress on DF.
It's nice to be busy even if it does play havoc with your stitching time!
Thanks :) You really should, it's awesome!
Thank you :)
Thanks! I love my new laptop indeed, it's so much faster than anything I've used before ^_^
I do, I greatly do :) The old one was five years old and got some serious damage at one point (though we're not totally sure what happened), so the new one is a real treat to use!
I think those ornaments have improved my backstitching a ton - there's so much on them, but it all looks so pretty too!
Maybe a bit too busy for my taste, I'd rather all those events were spread out more evenly over the year :D
Thanks :) I like being busy once in a while, but I really need a quiet weekend to relax from time to time as well!
Love the ornament! and what great progress on dark forces! :D
