Don't you just love how they'll make you take a pregnancy test, even if you've told them, honestly and truthfully, that you've never done the stuff that leads to pregnancies? /sarcasm

yeah, but I had to do a pregnancy test last year, and I have never done any of the activities that can lead to pregnancies, nor do I have any interest in doing so. so in some cases, it is a pointless test.

I'm going to laugh so hard if I ever get compelled to take a pregnancy test, myself.

And Den...don't take it personally. Too many people do lie about such things to their doctors and it punishes everyone.

It's just annoying because people assume someone my age has done the deed.

Yeah I get that. Assumptions are pretty terrible.

-appears- I have achieved absolutely nothing in my brief absence!

I finished the smaller of the dolls I'm working on... construction-wise, at least. I still have to make the hair and clothes, and make her face.

If anyone wants the pattern, and a step-by-step, here it is. The original page is in Russian, so Google Translate is your friend.

It was more complicated than fabric dolls I've made before, but a lot easier than I initially thought it'd be, so it was a nice challenge for me. I've gone a step further, and drafted my own attempt at a fabric doll that I'm working on the prototype/pattern test for now.

@Den: I am an asexual virgin so the pregnancy test is 100% pointless for me, and it sounds like you are in the same boat. I just ugggggh. I get the "people lie" part of stuff but they should let me sign a waiver that says if I crank out a malformed baby or have complications due to not taking a pregnancy test I can't blame them... and then give me my shot without taking my piss. ; n; Hopefully we will be able to avoid it by getting my shots on time now. We goofed this round cuz I didn't realize how the schedule worked and of course the doctor didn't really explain it. -epic eye roll- Also your doll is awesome looking so far!

@Sparx: Yay for accomplishing... nothing... cuz... yay?

I started making a Baymax plush for my Big Hero 6 cosplays! I have an official one, but I want a bigger one for cosplay reasons, so instead of splurging on another one, I decided to make one. Cause I can, and I have the fabric already. xD

(But I do want the hero suited one eventually. Least he's not too expensive. ;u; )

that sounds like a fun plush to make!

Lol. The place I work at doesn't require we make our own aprons, though they do encourage it. Or did. I know the dress code is changing soon, but I don't remember if we can use our own aprons or if we have to use the new ones that are coming. Either way, I have a cute vintage style pattern for one, but I'm still such a sewing newb that I'm afraid I'll completely fuck it up. Also, I think I really need to invest in a rotary cutter and cutting mat and other important tools before I get too into "big" projects.
But I do like the idea of aprons being next month's theme. Maybe I'll finally make mine then...

one nice thing about being an asexual virgin is that you don't have to get tested for STIs, so yearly exams go quicker. lol

I've got all the parts for the prototype big doll cut out, but I haven't started sewing him yet.

I still have not had a yearly exam and my doctor said I don't need one unless I have something unusual happen or become sexually active. 8D My doctor is pretty good to be honest but the rules his clinic makes him follow for stuff can be quite limiting and frustrating.

SEW DAT DOLLEH!

Also Kaderin maybe try a "simple" apron to start? Kinda like this:
http://www.designsponge.com/2011/05/...ing-apron.html

Well, I've a history of menorrhagia, and severe anemia, so this is the first time in a year that I've been told that I don't have to come back until next year, so I'm celebrating. kinda.

I have un-diagnosed menstrual issues that I am seeing if the birth control will help with. Like periods that last a month and are so heavy that nothing can stem the tide on some days. All my medical chart says about it is "irregular heavy periods"

Menorrhagia is unusual uterine bleeding, which pretty much describes what you're dealing with, Damies. The birth control should help with that, and if it doesn't, you do have a few other options, including a higher dose, or a different form of birth control, such as an IUD.

I'd be happy tp have the thing ripped out but at almost 30 I still get the "You might want kids later soooo no" reaction.

HOBBY RELATED:
I painted some Halloween rocks xD

Ugh. I hear you. I'm not much older than you, and I've been told pretty much the exact same thing. Except, no, I knew in my early 20s that I didn't want kids. My parents know they won't get grandkids out of me, and it's my *bleeping* body. Plus, my boyfriend doesn't want kids, either.

In crafting news, I have to go back to the church that caught on fire and burned down on Monday and get smaller brick pieces for my gift of a shadowbox with a brick piece inside it for my dad (he was baptized at that church).

Sounds like an interesting trip, pretty unique month of October already haha.

It's just across town, so I won't be gone too long. I have an idea for how I want the shadowbox to look...

Like pandora's box concept?

naw. more like a box with a black inside, the brick piece mounted with some information about the piece below, and the box "front" being a frame with glass.

ETA: Something like this.

Ah gotcha, that sounds very aesthetically pleasing. A brick within a crafted brick.

I almost feel lucky to be sterile so people won't.....oh wait, they still offered to re-test me when I went in to inquire about my surgery.

So sorry Daimes and Den, wish doctors would be more open to what the patient says and wants.

I swear the quick reply function eats my posts a bunch....

Here are my latest rocks:

i made a hat...

back here -->

WEW LOOK AT THAT QUALITY HALLOWEEN HAT HELL YEAH
Damnit, no money to order one ,0,

hee, thanks sparx!

i don't like to make things that need to fit (hat, gloves/mittens, slippers, sweaters) for people who don't live in my house....sizes can be fidgety.

I know that feel. I'm having to adjust a pattern I used to make a hat for myself (I have a fairly big noggin), and make it bigger for the recipient, but thankfully, the way I'm increasing it? I can work it into the pattern so it doesn't end up looking odd.

well that's good that it won't look odd! =)

i've made a hat for hubby, gloves for older daughter, and boot cuffs for younger daughter - but that's because they were all able to try things on while it was in progress, and if something was off, i could fix it right away.

big doll prototype head test showed that I had cut the head pattern way too big and strangely shaped, so I went back and chopped part of it. The smaller doll that I shared a picture of earlier on has the beginnings of a face...

I want to share my project but I can't get imgur to work on my cell :/ when I run out of 4g my cell turns to poop :p-cry:

thanks tsukiko =)

the orange/pink bath bombs I made have a red/pink pigment in them and it stained spots in my tub.... Guess what I can't selllll.
