My Pokemons, let me show them to you

Underwater gardening is going well.  In fact, I'd say it's going better than surface world gardening since surface world gardening requires me to actually do stuff.

Some of my cheap, crappy Amazon sword plants from Petco/Pet Smart have come and gone, but one of them is starting to outgrow the tank.

(And the zoomed in pictures really let you see how badly I need to get out the old algae scrubber.

This is how much algae sucks: there is no tank light.  Ensign Ricky just uses the regular room lights, and there's still algae.)

Despite my incredibly stupid karate injury this week (don't punch people in the elbow), I'm still able to cross stitch, so I've been working on my Pokemons and my commission for Michelle.

I need to iron Squirtle and Charmander so I can take some nicer pictures and put them up in my Etsy shop.  I've just started Bulbasaur, but meh.  I mean, it's a scientific fact that the plant starter is always the worst one.

Because I am a mature and intelligent person, my new dream is to make a Pokemon cross stitch for "Gas, grass, or ass".  Currently "ass" has me stumped, but I'm sure I'll think of something wretchedly and shamefully inappropriate.
