Free Your Imagination

Whooo, I'm a bit late with this, but I got another holiday card in the mail. I also found out one card I'd gotten had hidden itself, and I just found it back the other day. So, thanks to tanisafan (Yaay, Christmas pets! :D) and jamesinboots!

I've been pretty active at crocheting lately, so here are some more pictures from projects I've finished:

( Pictures this way )

I'm getting pretty much all these patterns from Ravelry. Anyone else on there? My username is the same as here, Sillie82. Add me! :D

Happy 2012! Hope everyone had a great time, celebrating the way you wanted too.

I see a lot of people making posts looking back at 2011, but I'm so incredibly done with it, that I'm closing it off and leaving it behind me good and proper. So yeah. :)

Also! I got some more cards, so thanks to carolinecrane (aww, thank you! I'm so glad you liked the card. :D), sheryden and dauntdraws (Adghd! I absolutely adore the card. Spn!Ponies!! Thank you so much! <3).

Got more cards! Thank you to quantrail (Thaaank you! I'm sure a great time will be had in Rome. :D), damanique, rugzakje (Oooh, very pretty card!), bflyw (Awww, that picture! Very pretty card. :D) and beelikej (Awesome card. Tot Gaaauuw! :D).

Last weekend we had a belated Saint Nicolas/ early Christmas with our family. We drew lots, and I got my middle sister (sbslink). We buy a present and make one ourselves. I'm pretty proud if what I made this time, so here are some pictures:

( Handmade present and cupcakes this way. )

She really liked it, thank god. Took me a long time to make, but I had fun doing it, so. :D My dad had me, and I got a CSI dvd box (season 8, part 2), and a wooden jewelery stand (which my dad made himself, of course.), which is very awesome. :D

And once again I let more than a month go by without really updating. >__> And now that I do open up de update page, I don't really have the time, 'cause I really should be in bed right now. XD So for now, you get kitty pictures. :'3

( Some Boris pictures, made by my sister. )

Been working on my Christmas/ holiday cards this week, but they're not done yet. I hope to get at least some of them finished this week.
I already got my first two cards in the mail last week. Thank you violet_eyes and maichan808 (so cute! <3) for the wonderful cards! *smishes*

Right. Bedtime.

A reminder:

If you're on my friendslist, and you want a Christmas/ holiday card from me, vote on the poll HERE if you haven't yet. :D

(You don't have to send something back to get one too. If you want to, I wouldn't mind though. *loves mail* :P)

So yeeaahhhh... I really didn't plan to fall of the face of Livejournal. Life suddenly got very busy, and somehow posting here didn't happen. I have been reading my flist though, although I haven't been commenting much. *feels bad*

...I actually had to look up just now what the last thing I posted was. *facepalms* I'm going to keep it short, 'cause it's a lot.

* First, my mom. She had her operation which went well, thank god. She was actually recovering pretty nicely, but about a month ago, her ribcage started hurting badly. The pain is making her pretty tired, so the recovery isn't going as fast as we were all hoping. She has an appointment at the painclinic at our local hospital, so let's hope that'll help.

* My middle sister has moved out and is now living with her boyfriend! They have a small but very nice apartment close to Utrecht. Not really close to home, but I'll live. That's what internet is for, right? :'3 Her old room is now my mothers arts and crafts room. ...or it will be, once everything has been stored away. Right now, it's a bit of a mess. :'3

* I have a new job! It's pretty much the same as my last job, substituting at a daycare organization. But this organization is way bigger, and much better organized. I'm pretty much working all the days I'm available, so that's good. Hopefully it'll stay that way. And maybe a steady position will open up soon. *crosses fingers*

* I got my own cat! His name is Boris, and he's about 4/5 months old. I got him at an animal shelter, and he just has the cutest face. He's a little devil though. He's pretty much always hungry. As soon as he spots you eating something, he's trying to steal. He's also quite affectionate, coming up to you for petting. ( I'm gonna be a proud kitty-mama and bombard you all with loads of pictures. :'3 )

* Also? Absolutely adoring the new season of Supernatural. Just afdgh... Haven't seen this week's episode yet, but I have some time tomorrow. Can't wait. :D

* I think I never mentioned on here that I'm on Tumblr. I'm not there that often, but if you have a Tumblr, add me. :D

Title: Lost but not Forgotten
Author: peaceful_sands
Artist: sillie82
Genre: Crossover (Dark Angel/The Losers(movie)), gen
Rating: R/NC-17
Word count: 39,200+
Warnings/Spoilers: for the story: violence/ torture, for the art: slight spoilers for the story

Summary: Alec had been working hard with Max to create the new Transgenic Nation, so it was a surprise when he vanished without trace. With the Transgenics trapped inside Terminal City, how could they send out help to track him down and bring him home? The Losers were still on the run, determined to put an end to Max and Wade's machinations when they spotted a familiar face on TV. It had been years since they'd been deployed alongside X5-494 but he'd always felt like one of their own, so maybe it was time to get back in touch.

Notes: So here's my entry for the darkangel_bb. I love me some Alec, so I couldn't help myself and had to enter. I had a lot of fun with this, even though I couldn't make as much as I wanted too. Anyway, if you like Alec, and if you like The Losers, you definitely have to go and read this story. :D

I wasn't planning on leaving anyway, but this is an extra reason to stay.

A happy belated birthday to fleshflutter! I hope you had a great day! *confetti*

Reveals of the spn_j2_bigbang have been posted, so it's time to show you which stories I've claimed! :D

First claim:

Title: jRobot
Author: sandymg
Pairing: Jared/Jensen
Rating: NC-17
Summary:

Jared didn’t do normal. So really it wasn’t as surprising as it should have been that his latest, admitedly gorgeous pickup, wasn’t exactly human. But the identical-looking computer genius who accused Jared of stealing his robot came as rather a shock. And, with Chad driving like a blindfolded stunt driver, two Jensens in the back seat, and a bunch of guys with guns shooting at them, Jared knew he wouldn’t have traded this adventure for anything.

Well. If they all survive.

Warnings: I'd characterize this story as a dramedy. Character death (not Jared/Jensen).

Second claim:

Title: New Wings For Icarus
Author: revenant_scribe
Pairing: Sam/Dean
Rating: R
Summary:

AU, this story re-writes Winchester history pre-S1. Inspired by the film Sleepers. The last time Sam saw his brother was back in 2007, they had just killed the demon, their father had just died and they hadn't parted on the best of terms. Four years later, they meet in Minneapolis where Sam is called to defend two clients for murder. Two clients that Sam remembers from when he was a kid spending time in Blue Earth, two of Dean's closest friends. The more Sam speaks to his clients, Aaron and Jesse, the more Sam realizes that what he'd believed about his brother's absence during those long six months at the end of the school year had less to do with the camp that John had described and Dean had come home with stories about, and more to do with their dad's misguided (and half-assed) efforts to protect his boys. Sam is left trying to piece re-write his memories of that summer, and of the fight that had sent him away from Dean for good, while building a defense for two clients who he wants nothing for than to get acquitted, despite their unrepentant guilt.

Warnings: Mentions of abuse of minors, including sexual abuse. Non-graphic account and mention of murder.

Posting date: july 4th

I've actually read something of both these authors. I've already read jRobot and absolutely loved it (It made me cry. Which is a compliment, 'cause I really don't cry easy.), and I'm brimming with idea's. I've really good contact with the author, and we're bouncing emails and idea's back and forward like crazy. It's awesome.
I haven't read 'Wings' yet, but I have it on my harddrive waiting for me, and I can't wait to start reading. I was actually planning on reading it today, but the day went a little different than I'd hoped (Complications with my mom's feeding tube thing. It's still not entirely resolved, but I'll post about that soonish in another post. Happy things for now. :) ), so yeah. Tomorrow. Can't wait. :D

I also signed up as pinch hitter, 'cause obviously, I don't have enough already.

Flist! If you're also doing spn_j2_bigbang, tell me your posting dates, so I can keep an eye out for your work!
