I always find funny and cool stuff to post about, but then by time I have a chance to blog, I forget what they were.

I had to title this post. Ugh. Anyways, yes. I am making a Winter Soldier long-sleeve shirt. There are no shirts like this for women. I looked. They have a Bucky Barnes shirt for men, but that's on Etsy. So I made one myself. I used this tutorial as a base to go off. Here's what you'll need: 1 black, long-sleeve t-shirt 2 cans Tulip silver fabric spray paint 1 bottle metallic, black fabric paint 1 small bottle red fabric paint (I used Tulip slick Deep Red) Some masking tape A few cleaning rags/towels A star stencil First, practice on something other than your shirt (I used an old, cut -up t-shirt we use for cleaning): Then, find some pictures of the Winter Soldier... I mean the Winter Soldier's arm! Take your shirt and the spray paint outside, and cover all your shirt that you don't want painted (Trust me on this one). Use the masking tape to hold down the cloth where the sleeve touches the rest of the shirt. Spray it down! Follow the instructions on your spray can for how long to wait between coats, etc. I, um, kinda forgot to take a picture of the shirt while I painted the stripes on it. So here's a pic of Tom Hiddleston: It took a few days to get the stripes painted, mostly because I really didn't want to mess this up, so I only did the stripes when I felt like I could do them successfully. What I did was I looked at the two arm pictures up there^, then I painted what I saw. Instead of laying the shirt down flat, I took a roll of wrapping paper and three cups of overlapping sizes, and I filled in the sleeve with those. For the star, I had to print out a stencil. Mine was 2" wide, but I think I should have done 2.3" or 2.5". Let it dry, then voilà! You may now commence comfy cosplay. What I would have done differently to this:
As always, have fun and be kind! Coconuts are weird. Like, who-the-llama saw this diamond-hard sphere and thought, "Hey I wonder what it will taste like if we open it? Doesn't matter at all that (since this is the first coconut we're talking about) we may bruise our fingers and poke our eyes out trying to do so."
Anyways, It's ridiculously hard on the outside, but so soft, it's liquid the inside. ????? Reading about coconuts the other day, there's supposed to be this way to tap on one, and they'll just fall open. Kudos to you who can do it. When I do it, like, it's so useless that I might as well be trying to use a pen in my pencil sharpener. I don't even know. I got on here to share a great toasted coconut recipe, but what good will it do you if you can't get the coconut open and out of the shell. I will be sure and follow up with the recipe as soon as I get it from my mom. At any rate, *insert fun and witty closing, because I'm too tired to think of one.* UPDATE: I did it. It's in the Daily Favorites, under "Reasons Why Clint is Awesome"
Imma try to make a whole post about Clint Barton in my Daily Favorites. I have a whole bunch of good stuff, and I've done long posts about Loki, so Imma do that. Don't let me forget. SPOILER ALERT for a book that's over a hundred years old.
Guys, look at this! In the Sherlock story The Final Problem, it reads: "My hand has been forced (to write the story of Holmes' death), however, by the recent letters in which Colonel James Moriarty defends the memory of his brother, and I have no choice but to lay the facts before the public exactly as they occurred." And in The Empty House, Holmes remarks to Watson: "But, then, if I remember aright, you had not heard the name of Professor James Moriarty, who had one of the greatest brains of the century." Did Sir Arthur Conan Doyle set up Moriarty's return himself??? Why is this? Conan Doyle was not always consistent with such details. More importantly, what can we do with such information? Mattie and Lily (Our Nigerian Dwarf goats) had their kids. Lily kidded last week, and Mattie kidded Monday. Here are Lily's kids: This is Easter Lily. (She's my favorite) I don't have a picture of her brother, Bronco, right now. He's passed out on one of my sisters. Recently disbudded, he still looks a little funny. Mattie's kids: This is Bambi. My mom named them, so ask her why she's named Bambi. And Flower. Contrary to the movie, Flower is a girl. And finally, there's Thumper. It's wonderfully crazy having all these baby goats running around. We have put them in old doll clothes; carried them around while we did housework; napped with them; played piano with them in our lap; in other words, FUN. Getting distracted is insanely easy with these cuties running around. We will have to sell them, because the city we live in will only let us have two goats. Anyway, they have started jumping all over the furniture, and we don't really have a problem with them pottying in the house. Goats are actually really clean animals, and in some ways, better than dogs. They are quieter than barking dogs. Even the girls are much cleaner. They give you milk. They are smart, - it's not uncommon to train them. Did I say Adorable?
Also, the baby goat's aren't always inside. Sleeping in the "barn" (a normal shed, just set up for goats), we only bring them inside for some of the day ;) Happy birthday to my Mum.
Happy birthday to my Mum. Happy birthday to you Mum! Happy birthday to my Mum. Hey guys! I'm sorry for slacking off with the daily favorites. Pinterest has been extremely uncooperative, and seeing as how that's where I get all of them from, that's a problem. As soon as I can get it running smoothly again, I'll resume posting them. Until then, I'll try to make more posts on my blog. Have a blessed day, and remember to show kindness!
My cousin and I were discussing the fact that you live 80 milliseconds in the past, because that's how long it takes your brain to process stuff. Anyway, we determined, that if you were to die instantly, to your brain it would be the same as dying in the future, but it affecting you now. Basically losing 80 milliseconds of your life because your brain can't process stuff faster.
Let me know if I made any sense :) |
