1) chile: I generally don't watch regular TV but I was absolutely glued to it for much of yesterday watching the chile mine rescue as it unfolded. I think inspirational is a pretty good word to sum up the amazing feat they achieved yesterday. It's good to cry happy tears over something so amazing for a change =)
2) icons: I seem to have lost my icon-fu. I'm sure that's a made up word, but nevertheless, I've lost it. I have a batch half done (about 30 or so icons) but can't post them as to me, a batch isn't complete until I've done 50+. And yet I cannot get past this block I have right now. I'm very frustrated.
3) paper legends: I've slipped a little on my BB reading again the last week or so, but having read over half the stories posted now, I'm not going to be too hard on myself about it. Hopefully I'll pick back up with some more reading next week. I feel weird about reccing any due to my close associations with the community - but also because I honestly believe they all deserve to be read - but if you want to know which ones I've kept so far, just check out my { paper legends tag } on my Delicious bookmarks.
4) photos: Speaking of BB fics, I decided I needed new folders for keeping my favourites in. I tried to find more Animal ones like I got last time (sadly there weren't any) but I did find these red Bench ones and they were only 2 for £2.50 which I figured was worth it!
My friend Nichola has also given me a stress ball for use at work when doing the cover. Very useful:
Good day:
Not such a good day:
Hope you're all doing okay ♥

2 - I hear you about the creative blocks. I don't know what to suggest, because it's different for every person, but I hope you're able to move past it soon. It can be insanely frustrating wanting to do something creative and feeling stuck :P. *hugs*
3 - I'm slowly working my way through them all as well. You're doing better than me, but I know I'll get to them eventually, so I'm not too worried! :)
4 - I continue to enjoy your binders :D. Also, I love that stress ball. So cute ;)

2) It's so frustrating =(
3) I figure I'm actually not doing too badly at all. Plus, I'd initially wanted to go slowly as I'd hoped my operation would be sooner so wanted to save some for my recuperation time, but as it's not now till January, I might just save the longest ones till then.
4) Me too; those pretty binders and what they contain never fail to make me smile =)

I think I'm actually doing pretty well with my BB reading, just feel guilty for the authors I've not left comments for yet.
I have a thing for textiles, stationary, crockery. Stuuf that's functional but artistic.
Me too! Glad to hear there's someone else that does =)
Hope you have a lovely day ♥

I hope you'll get your icon fu back soon! They are always so pretty!
I need to read more bb's as well. I haven't read that much yet but the ones I read were fantastic!
And I need to print them out, too *nods*
Love your stress ball =D

So do I; it's so frustrating, especially considering that I used to bang out a post every couple of weeks or so.
There are some absolute gems out there amongst the BB's, and some ones that are really surprising in such a good way, too =)

I know, how creative block feels, it can be very frustrating indeed. I don't know, what strategy works for you of course, but for me challenges and deadlines are the best to get over it.;)
Now I'm in reading the Atlantis BB's stories, awesomesauce! But I want Merlin stories to read as well! I'll definitely check your bookmarks, thanks:)
Lovely folders and the stressball is so cute! Me want one!:D

Hope you enjoy the Merlin BB's; there's some absolute crackers in there, but don't just rely on the ones I favourited, check out he masterlists over at the community itself and see what else appeals to you =)

Love the idea, to save a hardcopy of fics you enjoy. and you can read them away from the computer, even when the internet isn't working. LOVELY idea!

Hope you find your "icon-fu" soon. It's very frustrating to have a creative block.
New pretty folders :) I've been (slowly) reading the paperlegends offerings. I'm finally using your wonderfully organized master posts on the comm to systematically read through all of them (well, the A/M ones - eventually I may get to the other pairings). I have 2 left to go on the A-Q post. The fics have just been wonderful! Thank you so much (again!) for organizing everything ♥

I didn't see the chile mine resucue, but they had a bit about it on the news. So nice to know they were all rescued. Good news seems so hard to come by these days.
