Do you remember earlier in the summer when I posted Venus in our pallet garden? It's here if you want to look at it: http://invsagoth.livejournal.com/474928.html

We've been eating really nice salad greens out of it, and the herbs are now about ready to harvest! The two big plants in the back are tomato plants, they haven't borne any fruit though. They're really big! It's gotten really cold and rainy the last couple of weeks (it's felt more like September than August, dratted Alaskan weather) so I doubt they're going to be able to do anything this year. I'm hoping to pot them and keep them inside.
But since we're getting to harvest time for herbs and our other plants are reaching end of life, I wanted to do a little photoshoot with Venus first! The lighting wasn't fantastic, but I'll take any sun I can get!

She's so proud

A few more pictures :3 )

In other news, after the fire scare last night I wasn't able to get to sleep until probably 5 am. Then of course I woke up early instead of being able to sleep in, so I haven't felt terribly productive or functional all day. I even tried to nap twice (and I don't nap). I'm so sleepy but my brain will not cooperate (thanks brain).
sleepy tom
But heading to bed now and hopefully brain will let me sleep.

Tonight I continued on with the pony sculpt! I sculpted on the ears and did a little more face shaping. I added nostrils and a mouth. I got the wire placement to attach the head. I smoothed out the body and did a little more shaping. Now really all I have left is to attach the legs, do a little bit of shoulder and hindquarter sculpting, and then it's ready to bake! (Assuming I decide to go with non-clay hair of course). I almost decided to go for it and finish, but I really didn't feel like I'd have enough time. I could have sculpted the leg areas but I really would rather bake it immediately after, so I decided to wait.

Here's a couple of progress pics presided over by the lovely Frankie. hehe

Venus and the garden!
Here is our pallet garden! Scottie found a pallet to use, then he sanded the sides a bit, attached legs, nailed gardening cloth into it, put in the dirt, and planted our seeds! I helped with the planting. n_n We have a tiny deck attached to our apartment and we decided a garden would be nice. It has herbs and some leafy greens in it. I hope they grow well!

In other news, I had some major plotbunnies the last couple of weeks and was writing a story during breaks at work. I was going to write in google drive, but the new blocker at work blocks google drive. -_- Sooo I was writing in a less safe place. I was planning on putting it somewhere else today actually because I was getting nervous that I didn't have a backup and there was starting to be a lot of stuff there. But early this morning I had a plotbunny that I wanted to jot down really quick because I didn't want to forget it and I didn't have time. In my rush I ended up forgetting to disable a program I have running to help with work, allowing me to select the entire block of text and replace it with the letters nt. And then it immediately autosaved and my entire story now consists of the letters nt.

I was really excited about this story but now I've lost so much. I was kicking myself soooo hard after that, especially since I was PLANNING ON BACKING IT UP TODAY aaaaa. :/
