Anyway, my plans for the MacBook included:
1. Knitting a grey and red cover to protect it from scratches.
This was part of the Knitting Adventure of Glory Mel and I embarked on, in which Mel set out to make a scarf and made a blanket, and I set out to make a laptop cover and made -- something, uh, secret, that you're not allowed to know about.
2. Buying a grey cover and embroidering a design in red on it.
Cover bought. Cover still grey.
3. Sewing buttons all over the grey cover.
I did manage to collect all the buttons ready to sew. They're rattling around in one of my bags.
4. Covering the facade of the MacBook with a collage of magazines clippings and stickers.
After nearly four years, I stuck one sticker on this week: progress! The rest of the clippings and things I cut out are having a PARTAY somewhere with the buttons.
But this week everything changed, because I rediscovered the joy of icons. And now my desktop is an assortment of Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and some other nice things courtesy of PixelGirl Presents.
The whole desktop. That picture in the center is actually a painting, by the way.
The LOTR icon set are so beautifully intricate. I love the lembas bread. What's that? Of course it makes sense to use it for "projects"! Sam had to ration the lembas bread very carefully otherwise they'd starve and the quest would fail, dooming Middle Earth forever! - TELL ME THAT'S NOT A PROJECT.I love icons, although somehow forgot about them since primary school, where I changed my animated mouse and desktop icons on a weekly basis, until my computer crashed. The two events were, of course, unrelated.
