Monthly Update: May

This is going to be a semi-brief update- mainly because I'm updating before I go to work (as I've been forgetting to make this entry since Wednesday).

Weight: 180.5 -- Only 35-40 pounds to go before I hit my goal! Only 20 pounds to go before I weigh what I did in high school. Sweet! I can fit into a size 16 jeans again, though 16P is pushing it.

Crafting projects for May:

Custom Ponies
Ponies finished: 0
Ponies painted and sealed: 11
Ponies re-haired: 2.5

I'm slowly making progress with these. I hope to have them done by June 21st, so I can sell some of them at the summer convention I'm gong to.

Jewelry
Silver pieces: 0
Other metals: 0
Beaded earrings: 0
Beaded necklaces: 57

Can you tell what I've spent the majority of my time doing this past month? I have a pair of earring and a bracelet repair to get to, though, so I hope to get those done this coming weekend. I've been slacking on the metal work, mainly because it's to cold in the basement for me to be down there for very long without breathing issues.

In the meantime, I've also started drawing again, which is both successful and not at the same time. I had forgotten how irritating it can be to get a pose just right, and I also forgot that I don't have a male mannequin - just a female. This has been making some irritating times, but at least I've completed one piece, even if it is a pastel.
