This is a little Sherlock-inspired thing that I made for my lovely lantean_drift.
It's the front door of 221b Baker Street - but as a bag. *g*



I hand stitched the number with gold thread & used a button for the doorknob.


( the lining... )

I had a lot of fun making this & have got a few more fandom inspired craft projects in mind now. :)

I'm in for art (though it may possibly be fic... or both... depending on my stupid writer's block!)

From Twitter:

@JoeFlanigan:
Nathan Drake thing still alive? Oh Hollywood. Working on Fringe right now. Trying to get my small head around their mythology.

Yay! I love Fringe! It'll be so cool to see Joe! ♥



My current fandom obligations status:

+ mcshep_match art is done! \o/ I just need to sort out the submission info & send it in. Go, Team Sheppard! *\o/*
I had so much fun with the prompt I got. Hee! Hope everyone enjoys it as much as I did.
Hmmm, I wonder if anyone will be able to guess which piece is mine? *g*

+ sheppard_hc exchange story has kicked my bum all over the place but the first draft is nearly complete (today, I hope. *fc*)

+ I think I'm going to have to pull out of atlantisbigbang as the prompt claiming dates have been shifted to accommodate the authors (which I can understand, of course, but now they don't work for me). So, claiming now falls while we're away on holiday. The mods have kindly offered to claim a story for me, but that would mean me having no real choice (you know how it is, you need to read the summaries, etc for yourself.) I've taken part in the last 3 big bangs (all 3 as an artist plus the last 2 as an author, too) so it's a shame, but I don't think I can work around it. :(

+ The SGA Art Shindig & the Five-O Fiesta have both been completed. \o/

I've posted master lists of all the art shared:
SGA Shindig
Five-O Fiesta

Everything ran pretty smoothly, & there was a really great selection of art to enjoy at both comms. ♥



( cut for boring health stuff )

And I'll finish by wishing everyone a very happy Friday! :D
*hugs*

I've posted my contribution to the SGA Art Shindig today. :)

With a mob boss out to kill him, Rodney McKay has one last hope: maverick U.S. Marshal, John Sheppard...

Teaser for Safe Surrender:



There have been some really gorgeous pieces posted to both the SGA Art Shindig & the Five-O Fiesta so far & both fests continue until Sunday, so please do drop by & have a look (& show the artists your appreciation.) ♥

I've also archived my contribution to this year's drabble roulette for wordsontongue in my fic & art journal.

A dark... and stormy night (a pair of drabbles telling one story)

Sean/Viggo, PG-13, 2x100 words

... it's time to party!
\o/

We are liiiiiiiiive! *g*

Lots of fabulous art all week long!



Do check/join/watch the comms to see all the wonderful art being posted from 11th - 17th July. :)

My contribution to the Five-O Fiesta is already up (& I'll be posting at the Shindig on Thursday.)

Click on the teaser:

I woke up this morning to lots of smooches in my profile! ♥
That was a really lovely start to the day - thank you to everyone who laid one on me!!



A few tweets that made me smile:

@ActuallyNPH Neil Patrick Harris
Had a wonderful afternoon with the great @stephenfry today. It involved cameras and took place in my living room, and for once wasn't porn.

LOL! I'm looking forward to seeing that at some point!

@wilw Wil Wheaton
Listen, guys: OF COURSE I reversed the polarity on the router. OBVIOUSLY I ran a level 5 diagnostic. Jesus, This isn't my first rodeo.

An earlier tweet said that his internet was playing up, & I assume that lots of people had tweeted him with ideas. *g*

@dhewlett David Hewlett
Our pool heater went crazy and boiled the swimming pool...we're cooking hotdogs in it right now! Over 100 degrees!? #burnmoneyburn!

As it's DHew, I'm not even sure that he's joking about the hotdogs! LOL



My current 'must do' list (as opposed to the very long list of fics/art I hope to get to *g*)

+ art for the Five-O Fiesta at h5oartvalentine (posting date: 11th July) Done!

+ art for the SGA Shindig at sgaartvalentine (posting date: 14th July) Done!

+ art for mcshep_match (deadline: 3rd Aug) Go, Team Sheppard, go! *\o/* Ideas & research material but no actual art yet.

+ fic for the H/C fic exchange at sheppard_hc (deadline: 1st Aug) About 2,000 words done - probably another 3,000 ish to go.



Hmmm, I could have sworn that I had something else to say but my memory is like a sieve these days. (I think it's related to this abrupt shift into menopause after the op. Well, I hope that's what it is! *g*)

So, I'll just wish everyone a happy Thursday!
*hugs*

Yay!
The first round of the Drabble/Flash Fiction Roulette has been posted over at wordsontongue.

I have a pair of drabbles that tell one story: 'A dark ... and stormy night'. :)

I don't know if anyone has noticed but I haven't really been writing any detailed sex scenes in my fic lately. It's usually a fade-to-black or an after-the-deed moment. I just haven't been able to find the words.
So, it was pretty surprising when I was reading about the porn battle over at oxoniensis's lj & a really vivid image of John, Rodney & a dildo just popped into my head.
It's just a snippet but it's honest to goodness (heh!) sex.

Clicky - ‘No substitute’

You'll let me know if this is pants & I should just stick to the fade-to-black moments, yeah?
*wibble*

I have committed fleece!fic. *g*
For zinfic & the_cephalopod's inaugural challenge over at mcfleece I humbly present (before running hurriedly away)...

Not here to forget (clicky) - a future fic set in my Wurlitzer 'Verse.

There's McShep, there's a fleece, there's fluff, there's... maybe it's easier just to read it. *g*

And thank you to celtprincess13 for the lovely card. I love Eeyore & the gang in the 100 Acre Wood!

Wow, I'm really getting into the festive spirit this year.
I've just joined another festive exchange - sga_art_santa!
Check it out & join in.
