Nerd Wars on Ravelry: Ravatars


 I decided to join Nerd Wars on Ravelry for T8. Now, of course, I needed a new ravatar to show my team spirit. So, I played around a while last night and here's some of the ones I have got so far...

 

 


 
For some reason it won't let me make these smaller.

 
 


 


 

I will add more as I finish them.

2012 TrueBlood Swap on Ravelry: Package Received

I am so happy to have participated in this swap again. These ladies are awesome and they come up with the most amazing themes for the packages.

Here is what I received!
Gizmo wanted to help open the package.
Everything taken out of the box.
My spoiler wrote an awesome story to go along with my goodies. They were all numbered so I got to read the story and open everything one at a time. The suspense was killing me, but I loved every minute of it!
An awesome red shawl. The pattern is "Vlad" on Ravelry. I don't think I would have ever found the time and patience to knit this for myself.
A handmade Fangtasia purse! And it is huge so it holds everything I need.
THE softest fingerless mitts ever! Made from sky blue mink and cashmere yarn.
A cute handmade bag, bracelet and stitch markers.
Glitter, Paul Mitchell shampoo & conditioner samples, a loofah, glass nail file, two polishes, and two lip balms.
Candy! Even some from the UK! Everything was so yummy...yes, it is all gone already..except for the drinking chocolate. I'm using it sparingly to make it last. :) Also, she sent the tea to help with headaches.
Homemade white chocolate fang candy too! Lots of them.
A black choker with Eric's "blood" in a vial incase of an emergency.
Two books. I've read through the Palmistry book. Yep, it pretty much says I am artistic and mothering. :) I can't wait to start Wicked Appetite .
Yarn! Malabrigo Silky Merino Yarn - 869 Cumparsita  My first Malabrigo! And a cake of Sky Goddess Yarn in the Crave colorway. It is a light fingering weight. Both of these are currently on the needles and hook.
Orange ribbon and candle. And three TB buttons.
Everything!
I was so royally spoiled in this swap. I can never thank my spoiler enough! Thanks V!
The next post will be the package I sent to my spoilee because this one was so long.

A few new Franken polishes I mixed up...

A deep bloody red with lots of red glitter. "Cocktails with The Viking"...thanks to my True Blood group for helping me with the name.


A light pink base with an assortment of glitter colors. Hubby helped me think of the name "Birthday Girl". Although it could be called "Sookie" lol


Clear base with mainly silver and blue glitters of all sizes and shapes. This one doesn't have a name yet...Thinking "Satellite" maybe...Or "Lafayette" to keep with the TB references..;)


Red base with red, green, silver, and gold glitter. This is also unnamed right now. Obviously, it needs to be something Christmas-y.


Have you ever made a Franken polish? How did it turn out?

True Blood Season 5

Well into season 5, True Blood is definitely capturing my attention. There is so much going on in every episode that I have to watch it more than once.
****Spoilers...****
~ Bill: What is up with him? He seems a little "off" this season. And I'm not talking about from all the crap he and Eric are going through with the Authority. It's like he has a hidden agenda....?
~ Hadley & Jason: So, Hadley is trying to make Jason (& Sookie) believe that Vamps killed their parents...Honestly, I think that the light-fingers blow that Jason & Andy took had something to do with Jason now beginning to make little anti-vamp comments. And the flashback with their parents on the bridge...hmm..could be anyone, really, at this point.
~ Alcide: He finally gets a chance with Sookie, and it's screwed up. Now, he is finally taking on the roll of pack master. The fight with the interim pack master should be good.
~ The Authority: Ok, sorry but this is kind of boring to me. Roman...just isn't capturing my attention. And with the most recent episode, he may have met the true death by Russel Edgington. However, Roman didn't burst into goo....and on IMBD it states he is in 11 episodes, I believe. So, unfortunately I don't believe he has met the true death just yet. And what is up with the tall black guy killing everyone on the bus?
~ Sookie: My goodness. She has cried in every episode thus far. Girl, get your crap together! She ruined it with Alcide by puking on him...not that Bill & Eric wouldn't have interrupted anyway. She is really getting on my nerves a bit more this season.
~Eric: We have learned he has a sister (by Godric) and cares for her. Then makes the statement that he will be at her execution or something like that. And with all kinds of other comments it makes you wonder where his allegiance really lies. He glamours Alcide & tells him to always look out for and protect Sookie...then, tells him she disgusts him romantically. I'm thinking Eric still cares for Sookie...in his own way. Maybe we haven't seen the last of them together. But, if they are eventually together I really hope it's a lot better than last time. Remember the snow scene..yeah, that royally sucked. Lots of people that read the book were hoping for more along the lines of the shower scene from book 4. Alan sure knows how to make us happy & piss us off at the same time.
~Jessica, Tara & Hoyt: I never cared for the old Tara. Now, Tara as a vamp is beginning to grow on me...a little. Jessica wanted to be vbf's but, after the scene with Hoyt...ain't going to happen. I think Hoyt was right when he told Jess that she still has feelings for him. She just doesn't want to admit it. And now poor Hoyt has been abducted by the shifter-killers...they even called him by name when they killed the vamp that was feeding on him.
~Pam: I love that she is a maker now and owns Fangtasia. I think she could be a bit nicer to Tara but hey, that's why I love Pam. She says what she wants and doesn't care what anyone thinks. Plus, she never has a  bad clothes day ...unless you count the sweatsuit she wore when turning Tara. I really hope she & Eric come back together. They have such great chemistry on screen.
~Layfatette: Love him. But, where the heck is Jesus? I'm thinking Jesus' grandfather knows where the body is...and I think the Bruho demon thingy may have had something to do with the disappearance as well. LaLa had seemed more worried about Debby Pelt than finding Jesus' body. Now, after seeing Jesus' head with his lips sewn together, maybe he will start trying to find answers. And he really needs to learn to control the demon (ex: Sookie's car and the bleach in the food). Oh, and love LaLa's mom. She is hilarious.
~Arlene & Terry: After all they have both been through, they deserve to be happy. But, in AB's world of TB, no one can be happy for long. I don't really care for the Ifrit smoke monster storyline. It just takes away from other scenes we could have...unless they tie it in with something else..which I doubt will happen. Anyway, I'm hoping they figure out a way to break the curse and Terry can come back to Arlene...and we can have longer scenes with the vamps.
~Sam, Luna, & Emma: What the crap! Someone is killing shifters. The guy that owns the anti-vamp store is definitely up to no good. He is obviously a part of this whole thing. But, Sheriff Andy won't be able to question him because Sam shot him. Andy thinks Sam saved his life, but..duh..the guy was actually going to shoot Sam. I hope they find these guys quickly. Luna is growing on me. And Emma..how cute is she as a wolf pup?

Ok, so I put together a list of links that I found and have been reading lately.

Goodies in the mail...TrueBlood


I was checking the mail today and got all kinds of giggly when I looked inside the mailbox. A friend in FL sent me some vials of "V" and a mug that says "Keep Calm & Drink Blood". Love it all!!! The friends I have made on Ravelry are awesome!
Thanks, Gail...You definitely made my day!
