Damnation plush toy

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

The Damnation command ship is a beautiful piece of engineering. The sleek lines of the prow give it a menacing apperance, but the plump, stubby wings make it look comforting. The Damnation has the capability of hurting its enemies whilst welcoming allies with a warm embrace. Almost ...

Sewing a fox tail

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

I like exploring the furry in me. After getting the raccoon hat, I am excited by the new fox hat on Shana Logic's site, enough to make me think about making a tail to go with it. Finding some affordable, long-strand fake fur fabric, in both white and ...

Preparing to roam low-sec

Saturday, October 25th, 2008

Still being wet behind the ears in EVE Online's galaxy of New Eden I am far from capable of spearheading an attack in low-sec, but that doesn't mean I cannot be useful in a fleet. Whilst I understand that ratting, particularly in high-sec, needs little more than tanking and ...

Leftover jambalaya

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

I can happily report that the chicken jambalaya I made heats up well and tastes just as good as leftovers. It looks like I have a new meal to add to my recipe book. NOM NOM NOM

Weekend report

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

I popped in to my local town over the weekend, trying to avoid crowds by turning up when I thought most people would be going home. It didn't work out that way, and my arrival may have coincided with some early cinema traffic, but that was okay. I ...

Tiger fur duvet cover

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

Months ago I was encouraged to try my hand at sewing. I personally need a tangible project to complete for me to get involved with a hobby, and I was able to come up with the idea of making a duvet cover from fake tiger fur to get me ...
