It's been a while! Just a quick post, trying to get back into the swing of things.
Years ago, Marlin picked up a perler bead kit for Minnow and we kinda got into it as a form of parallel play. I find it oddly relaxing and more interesting than jigsaw puzzles or similar piece-setting activities. Perler beads map easily to video game sprites. I used to cross stitch video games sprites years ago, and this is easier and more fun for me. Minnow has created several of their own designs and has a broader range of interests (they briefly got into flags for a while).
I realized I should start documenting more of this type of stuff, for future!Minnow, so here mine and theirs respectively:
Sprites are fun, but I've kinda tapped my interest in that area. Until now we've just cruised for perler images on DuckDuckGo image search or Pinterest (sorry), but I recently discovered Kandipad, which has a ton of user-submitted patterns.
I've been thinking on and off about documenting more of Minnow's crafts and projects, and I came across haltakov's Simple Photo Gallery. It doesn't get simpler than that. The bottleneck is getting the photos from my phone to my PC, which I usually do manually. People suggest Google Photos! Yeah, no. Have we not learned our lesson about big yet? I ought to be able to use something like KDEconnect to transfer stuff from one to the other.
