the creative gene

[lavandarlizard2]

I have a creative gene. It's kind of cool most of the time, being able to turn an idea into something concrete. I'm not inventive enough to be a pro at any of this stuff, but it sure makes my leisure time fun. ^___^

The only really annoying thing is that it seems to be an 'either/or' sort of gene. Either I can write or I can knit/crochet/sew/stitch/draw(don't laugh; I used to do a LOT of that when I was a dragonette), but I cannot write AND crochet/knit/stitch/sew/draw. Lately, probably because of the employment angst, I've been in 'OR' mode. >_>

What am I leading up to, you ask? O.O Well, mostly this...






This is Leo, my Lion Brand Yarn lion. Leo is the patriarch of a growing family. ^___^

And the reason why fic is scarce at the moment. ^__~

AWWWWWW IT'S SO CUTE!!! *w*

PS Is that a mane I see?!? *3*

PS: Looks to me like you could get away w/ being a pro at this! ^3^

When we find out what I can be a pro at, we can trade trades? 8D

Hmm... Could you make me a tiny little black hole? Just to suck up a few enemies? ^____^

[lizard-little.livejournal.com]

I'll see what I can do... ;)

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

Much obliged. ^___^ I have a list... O.o

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

Yep, that's a pain-in-the-tail mane. ^____^ He's a very butch lion.

[lizard-little.livejournal.com]

How'd you make that? \O/

(I had missed it the first time I saw the pic!!)

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

It's a row of novelty yarn. Looks great, but it's a bitch to work with in crochet. Much easier in knit. ^___^

[lizard-little.livejournal.com]

It looks adorable!

Do you have a pic of the rear view? (And, does it have a tail?) *curious*

[merula31]

He's finished!!! He's adorable!!! His little expression is too cute- and that mane!

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure any that I make from now on are going to pale in comparison to Leo. Even if they come out better. ^____^

So we need to steal your crochet hook in order to get more fic? *griiiin* I want purple wool now... I feel a trip to Joann's coming on... :P

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

Oh, man! Don't get me started! I have that shawl pattern flittering around in my head! A calico cat, another bunny, a lioness, a puma....

HELP!!!

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

A puma... where did the puma come from? Or do I need to ask? *grin* Don't yell for help from me, my list is as long as yours! ^o^

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

You shouldn't need to ask. ^__~

My list is getting shorter. Just finished a *scarf*. ^_____^

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

Ok, FINE. Lemme shower and I'll get out the knitting needles...

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

I haven't managed either the fringe or the lousy pompon, yet. >.< I have a fur-coated impediment on my lap. >_>

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

Threaten to knit the impediment a sweater and see how she runs! ^o^

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

The furball laughs at your threat. And steals my straw instead. O.o

I am actually making the thing at this moment. ^____^

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

DONE!!!

^____^

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

I uh... got a flower sewed together? *sigh*

[lizard-little.livejournal.com]

You need to post pictures!!! Pictures!!!

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

Oh, I will. ^________^
