Nerd Games Discussion Thread

Thanks! I just can’t resist tiny weird and cute stuff! It’s my favorite wall in the house. Sometimes I just stand there and look at everything and feel happy. :smiley:

Let me know if you want me to send you some stuff in the future!

I’m sorry I haven’t been active the past few months.

I haven’t been very active, either! I do have a couple of items to post, but I need some better light and I’ve been getting home after dark. I’m reviewing my rather ambitious project list, and I need to swap some things out for more achievable goals (I’m definitely not going to get a room divider made in the next 2 weeks!).

I need to knuckle down and focus on gifts. We’re not exchanging gifts in my family, but I need some co-worker gifts, so I need to get busy on those. Plus, I have a few random gifts to make. I need to get myself a bit more organized so I have it down in my brain what I’m making.

You still have plenty of time to post! The season closes at the end of the month. The only two prompts you can’t post for are the October and November battles. All of the prompts, including the 12 advent prompts, are still open!

I feel like I haven’t posted much, either. But once the 12 Days swap gifts are open, I’ll have 8 projects to post for that. I also have a few more I can share after @roler gets her gifts.

I do hope you’ll pick the punny team that strikes your fancy and share :blush:

Yes, after the 12 Days swap gifts are opened I’ll have some things. I haven’t had much crafting time lately, either.

I have some items finished, but since many of them are gifts, I’m going to wait a bit to post them.

@roler, I finished my first gnome! I had to watch the video to see how she crocheted in the plastic ring, but it was pretty easy overall! I worked on it over a couple of nights. I’ll definitely be able to get 3 finished!

I just posted a bunch of projects! I had a bit of a crafty burst after Thanksgiving (I took a class that gave me some momentum). I’m at my mom’s in FL right now, and we usually do a craft project or two. We have a couple of them planned, and we should get at least one of them done, if not both.

The good thing is that I have my craft mojo back, so I should be able to get more projects finished in the next round!

I was terrible last season, I’m sorry for letting my team down! We’ll see what I manage this year (one more class this spring!). New prompts are posted!!!

A few things…

Discussion thread

I’m not going to create a new discussion thread for the Nerd Games. There have been so few of us crafting lately, I think we will it will be just fine to keep everything contained within the season thread. If anyone feels differently, let me know. I have no objections to creating a discussion thread for the new year if anyone wants it.

Raffle

Last year we held a raffle in the spring season, which runs from April to June. Is anyone interested in doing a raffle again this year?

  • Yes
  • No
0 voters

I’d like to also propose the same raffle stipulation as last year.

If 10 prizes are committed as quickly as last year, we can hold the raffle in the spring season. If not, we can hold it during the summer season. If the summer season works better for you, let me know and we can move it to summer (July - September) when enough prizes are donated. I can donate two prizes again. I’m not sure what yet.

Swap

This season we are doing a swap. @gozer was kind enough to host the swap for us. Anyone that wants to join is welcome. You only need to post one project to the Games and you’re eligible to participate. :gift:

Special Prize

@LovelyMiss is offering a prize to people that meet specific criteria during the Winter Season. She will update her post soon with the rules. Thank you for offering this, LovelyMiss! :hearts:


I hope 2022 is kind to us all. Happy New Year! :partying_face:

If I can get myself less frazzled with my time again, I hope to be more active.

Is there a new thread for 2022? I didnt see it…

Would you prefer to have a discussion thread? I really don’t mind making one if you think it’s better to have for updates and conversations. We can also just do it on the main thread. Let me know! :blush:

I’m fine with keeping the same discussion thread, but it might make sense to take 2021 out of the title just to avoid confusion! :slight_smile:

And woohoo, go So Corn-fused!! XD

To piggyback on this, I wonder whether “CLOSED” might be confusing to people if this is the ongoing discussion thread.

The logic for continuing this thread makes sense to me, but I don’t have a strong preference about doing that/starting a new one.
