A Sleepless Soul

The books are almost ready. Recent family events kept me away from working on them. But now i painted them and only the lettering remains.. which is the most difficult part.

I have been working on a video for R too.. is a proposal. Im asking him to be my boyfriend. He states i am his girlfriend already and he ask me to marry him almost every day. But i actually never said yes officially to be his girlfriend.. which is stopping me to take the things to the next level...things like pushing him to make plans for a future together and work for that... so we are in a kind of limbo. I have been working in the video for days and im guessing is my fear of commitment what is slowing it... but im determined to finish it tomorrow. I would love to make it now but is 5 am so...

I worked a little bit more in the new pattern, and im thinking to flood the thieves forum with spam until they take my pattern down but if i dont have energy for my own work i have it less for cyber attacks.. legally nothing can be done.

R's mom explained to me that the rice cooker i got is also a slow cooker so i can make really good dishes with it but it will take hours. I made rice and pasta, for that was pretty fast. Maybe some of this days i will try something slow like a stew. Difficult since my refrigerator is not working. My neighbors messed with the electricity (trying to avoid paying i guess) and my refrigerator broke since then.

It's my first entry here.
But no.
As probably many, i had a journal here many years ago, and since then I didn't find a blogging place that feels like LJ. But that is the topic of another entry, I'm not going to make a proper introduction now.
I'm working on a 1/6 scale replica of Hedwig standing on some books, the books obviously the same scale. If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's Harry Potter stuff. The man I'm dating likes to display his movies with figures and props, so I thought it was a good idea to make something nice for him. The plan is to make Hedwig in needle felting and sculpt the books in epoxy clay.
I was working happily stressed (as in every project) when it occurred to me that I should show him the progress, which was the initial sculpting of the clay blocks... (he does not know I'm making them for him) and his first reaction was: they are coming out perfect but that is not 1/6 scale...
Yeah, he has the superpower of noticing inaccuracies faster than flash running :/
I did not believe it, but then I checked the dimensions and my annotations, and (again :/ ) he was right, i made the books 1/4 scale, all my notes and measurements matched the 1/4 scale, but I swear I planned it to be 1/6 :(
Now, maybe this not much of a problem, but I'm going through really hard times in my life and I have always suffered from short memory loss, so this makes me think I'm getting worse..or something..
I don't know...
Here you can see the blocks in what I thought was 1/6 scale and in pencil how it should be... u_u


So I'm going to start over and post the updates here.. stay tuned..
