jinkeez awhile back but hadn't gotten around to asking Vogon to do it for my edification until this week. It was interesting to see how different our wants are.| Mine: 1. Words of Affirmation 2. Quality Time 3. Physical Touch 4. Acts of Service 5. Giving/Receiving Gifts | His: 1. Physical Touch 2. Acts of Service 3. Quality Time 4. Words of Affirmation 5. Giving/Receiving Gifts |
Perhaps sometime when I feel like writing a bunch of stuff out again, I'll fill out the Love Bank/Love Busters questionnaires from Marriage Builders (one of Vogon's favorite sites to recommend) for him. I did it a few years ago but I think they got lost in his study before ever being read.

I've wanted to acquire a photo tent for a couple of years. Vogon came up with an idea for a homemade one last year, but only got as far as buying some wood and halogen puck lights. My limited woodworking and electrical wiring skills aren't up to that, so I let it go and kept dreaming about the light tent kits advertised in photography magazines.
Today, while following links from craft blogs whose syndicated feeds I usually skim on my LJ Friends view, I found directions for a homemade setup using a plastic storage box, interfacing, clip on lamps and a sheet of poster board. I've got almost all of that on hand and what I don't have can be scrounged. Whee! I hope to be able to produce great product photos for eBay listings in less time than my previous method, which involved a lot more futzing in Photoshop.

The on-hold-until-I-draft-a-pattern project of making a case for Vogon's MP3 player may start moving again after I finish the volunteer sewing bits. Savvy Seams' MP3 Player Case #3 looks like it would be easily adapted to fit that MP3 player. (His other one came with a rubberized bumper and I haven't traced its various dimensions onto paper to start a pattern anyway.)

The Fantasy Faire 2006 series of cross-stitch patterns is available now. Unfortunately, it's not in my budget this year. (I bought a copy of Teresa Wentzler's "You Were Hatched..." from the FF2005 set last year.) I feel so silly lusting after something like that, but it is nice to have something to dream about. Perhaps I can swing a copy of Cross-Eyed Kat's Snowfight: Blue later this year. (Snowfight: Red is part of the FF2006 set.)
