9k, so only a thousand words behind... until tomorrow

Caroline talks to an irreverent raven, and Mara is walking through the Jungle. Walk, walk, walk, bother these vines, oh look, I'm not dead. How nice... I hope.

What I hope is that this latter is not as boring as I'm currently afraid it is. Perhaps she'll either have to meet someone (human), or get where she's going so we can have more conversation. However, I have had an excellent hot chocolate, gotten enough groceries to survive another few days, and remembered that there are brownies in the freezer downstairs. Currently, there is also a cat sitting on the floor under my skirt.

I got a jungle tree of my own in the mail today, along with some other neat swap stuff. Some days, I think this swap thing is worth it...

That tree is really cute. I wish I were that creative.

It's actually a simplified version of something found on etsy (which had bizarre owl applique as well as the cool tree part.) My partner for this last swap actually did a good job of making things off my etsy favorites that I really liked, but would probably never have gotten around to making for myself.

That's a clever idea. I don't feel like I've done anything creative if I take ideas from others, though. Maybe that's why I never get anything interesting done XD

I think it's creative to see something you mostly like, and make one with the modifications so that you completely like it. Especially with all the crazy stuff out there on the internet, making intelligent modifications on a design so that it works for you, or combining multiple ideas that you like is probably worth more than spending all your time trying to think up something that nobody else has done before.
