Bit late today as it was busy. CrossSwap had one weird word, J was very smug when we did it.

modelling a scarf in Blender 5.1

I haven’t been particularly great at concentrating lately. I was going to do a very quick pose render for this character and move along but realised I forgot her neck scarf thing and dragged my feet on it because my brain had decided it was finished and really didn’t want to. Hopefully I’ll actually be done when I next work on it.

@galenkp’s favourite word stumped us for a good while XD

hare-brained schemes

Friday, 3 April 2026 @ 8:40pm

We hadn’t been long after the last update when we accidentally acquired more stuff. We had returned to Bunnings much sooner than anticipated as we had forgotten to buy replacement heat lamps during the last trip and I decided that I really wanted that Elkhorn fern.

And of course a couple more things we “needed”.

The creeping thyme seeds in the picture is actually the result of another gardening argument. There was some really nice grass when we moved in (after we got it under control as everything was massively overgrown, the house had been unoccupied for many months prior). J was always adamant that he would not under any circumstances ever bother wasting any effort on things that didn’t feed us specifically and it didn’t really matter because the grass didn’t care.
