@Totalanimefan: It's warmed up now thankfully! Our water had frozen and we were not prepared...
Yeah, I figured it'd be a quickish post. *^*;;
How'd the snow there go?

@Totalanimefan: Yeah, it was cold. Lol Now it's back to the 50s during the day. *^*
Not yet? I haven't been very active lately. I got into crafting again and started needle felting little plushies...
They take a while cause I forgot the multi-needle so I'm stuck with a single needle. XD

@Totalanimefan: I think I jinxed it, it dropped in temp again. Lol
I'm doing some for myself just to remember how to some of it again atm.
(It's been a few years since I last needle felted, like 15yrs lol)
I want to sell but not sure about pricing and whatnot?
Yeah, can't say I dislike it though. I'm getting pretty quick at it. XD

@Totalanimefan: I kind of did but prices varied quite a bit. Anywhere from $20 + for similar-sized felted toys. I thought about just doing $25 since I know how to keep my cost down with filler so it's not very pricey for me to make them so I'm just charging for my time but I'm not sure they'll sell so I guess I'm just worried about trying? *^*; I mean honestly, I've only sold a few of my artworks for real money so I'm not well versed in costs and how too. XD

@Totalanimefan: Well, for a small plush that fits in your hand, I thought 25 would be a good medium price?
If anything I could do 30 and made to order, I guess. *^*; I'm honestly not sure, it's just been a thought atm.
I'm mainly using poly-fil and very little wool so I could have several ready to go at first if I do open a shop.

@Totalanimefan: It takes a few hours to make one. Not sure on the exact time though.
I know a multi-needle will cut the time down a lot, like over half and I plan to get one before I open a shop if I do.
Oh? Like an extra 10 or something? I might have to remember that. X'D

@Totalanimefan: Lol Yeah, I kind of figured it'd be better in the long run. Plus for now, I can practice. *^*;
Oh, yeah. I forgot they might ask for larger ones. I'll have to take notes so I don't forget all this later. XD

@Totalanimefan: Lol Yeah, it's mostly helpful. As long as I don't lose my notebook. I've thought about sticky notes but forget to get any. XD
I'm doing alright, just a bit tired since I didn't sleep well since my grandmother fell and broke her thumb and it was bad enough to need surgery.
I plan on calling her tomorrow and checking on her. My aunt said the surgery went well at least.

@Totalanimefan: She's hurting a bit but she's doing alright. She's 72.
She dropped something, leaned forward to get it, and just tumbled over on her hand wrong.
She's frustrated that she's stuck doing nothing but she at least knows she has to let it heal.

@Totalanimefan: Yeah, same here! It'd be better if she didn't have so many health issues.
But she lives with my cousin and his wife atm so they'll keep an eye on her.

I'm alright, a bit frustrated since I'm having to recreate all my Sai 2 brushes but otherwise good. *^*
How about you? The weather sounds dreary.

@Totalanimefan: Yeah. Apparently, there's a notepad file that randomly jumps into the Doc folder when it should be in the Sai folder and since I cleaned my pc out, it got deleted since it appeared to not belong to anything. ;;>> Big oops on my part.
Yep! Lol I hope you do well! Sounds like a lot to deal with.

@Totalanimefan: Nothing to thank me for. It's really impressive honestly. I get too distracted to do something like that. Lol
It's going alright. I've just been cleaning and such so boring day as usual. I'm still trying to remember all my settings for Sai and putting them all back. I have a feeling it's going to take me a long while to get it all how I had it.

@Totalanimefan: Yeah, seems like a good day for them. Lol
I don't blame you there. I had too, it was chaos with kiddo.
Yep.. Especially since there were a LOT of them. *^*;
Just means I won't be drawing for a bit, at least until I can get my main few back on there anyway.

@Totalanimefan: Oh, he went to school. I'd just be waaay messier if I hadn't cleaned. He's a tornado. He's 7 now. :)
I'm not sure. I had at least 15 brushes I used the most so it'd take a few minutes to hunt down the texture file and figure out the settings.
So maybe a whole day just for those? I know it took me a month to set them when I first got Sai 2, but that was for all the brushes I had.
Oh, it is!! Very much so. *^*;; I've been trying to get them set up quickly but it's so frustrating I keep doing the needle felting instead. ;;>>

@Totalanimefan: Very true! (We have 3 cats and a dog too) XD
I collected and made my own, unfortunately, there's no import for settings so I just have to remake them as I go.
And nope! It's been a week since I deleted all of that so I learn after the fact. *^*;
Yeah, I know... I just got to really sit down a start on it.
I do have a few photos of settings from others still on my USB as I just checked so I'll just start with those.
