I'm planning on building an enormous Chess set (with each square at least one square foot in area) as my Summer project. I'm still in the planning stages, so no pictures yet, but I'll post some as soon as I've started with construction.

Are you also going to make 32 chess outfits too? And get 33 people together to play chess?

I'm planning on building/carving pieces out of wood. Though, I have considered producing various forms of head-wear for each of the "pieces" to wear (though, I would probably only use 16 hats, and just let the pawns go hat-less), if I'd ever be able to get 33 people together to play.

How big do you think you'll make the queen/king?

Cheesemaker, are you guys going to be affected by whatever those new rules are regarding artisan cheese and wood aging?

According to what I've heard, darcie, the cheese aging on wood "rule" was only a clarification of some existing guidelines discouraging the use of wood, but not banning it. It was not meant to be an official policy change, but was a response to several questions posed by several regulators in New York. So no I don't think we will be affected. (you can check out this article for more explanation)

That's good to know! I didn't pay close attention, since most US artisan cheese uses ingredients I can't do anyway, but I was wondering if the media coverage I saw in passing was correct. Of course it wasn't.

Thanks, I always love yours! I don't do many doll outfits, so tedious and tiny!

Thanks! I do love sewing American Girl sized doll clothing, but any smaller than that is just a bit too much.

My sister asked me to make an outfit for her Ever After High doll from a pattern she found, but it was so small, and I just messed it up. I did however, then try, to draft my own pattern for an EAH doll, and here's what I came up with:

I'm working on my very first commissioned screenplay for a short film. I'm really excited about this. I've never written a "formal" screenplay before, I've only ever experimented. If the production company I'm working with are able to get everything lined up, we should be able to start shooting this summer.

I feel like I've already posted my cool projects in other threads, but I could post what I'm working on this summer

in the meantime, have some previous art stuff:

My skirt that I shared before got made into another thing. This project was creating a pattern that other people can use. I'm super excited, because it's the first sewing pattern I've published! Yay! Link to the pattern

Pretty, darcie! I don't sew much anymore, but things like this make me want to
