We survived another week! Proud of you guys! This week was a little bit of a departure for me, in terms of programming. I actually led a storytime of sorts! It was a disaster, but a very cute one. Okay wait, let me explain a little more. So at Share-a-Rama this year, one of the presenters showed us a way to do a sort of...create your own story/mad libs sort of fairy tale, where you could bring kids up to perform as characters in the story with props that they chose. And it was beyond cute. So I decided to do a version on facebook live. I let the viewers pick the weather for the story (sunny, snowy, or rainy), the hero's occupation (Princess, Superhero, Rogue, or Bard), the hero's weapon (sword, axe, or fart cloud), and the type of villain we would have (a witch, a vampire, or a pirate). Then we jumped into our story, where a brave Bard named Ziggitha faced off against a Vampire named Ezio to rescue her dear friend Atlas. And my actors? My pets! I'm lucky enough to have four very patient dogs who do not mind dress up, and one cat who doesn't realize he's not also a very patient dog who doesn't mind dress up. We dressed them up as characters in the story, and I narrated the tale in the background. It went about as well as one could expect a story involving three dogs and one cat would go, but it was cute, and the viewers seemed to enjoy it! I'll have to do a more detailed post some other day about sewing and building the props for the story (you'd be amazed at what you can do with some cardboard and paint), but for now, you'll just have to watch the video linked below and marvel at my skill. (ha!) We also did another watercolor paint-along. Our patrons still seem to enjoy them, and again, I just really want to push them to be creative and to do things they don't normally do. We're all feeling some type of way right now with the state of the world, and painting is an excellent way to just zen out for a while. So we're going to keep doing these paint-alongs for as long as our patrons want them. This week we did a silhouette of Hogwarts castle against a skyline painted in our house colors. I also discovered that I don't know what owls look like midflight, apparently, and that's okay! I still had fun, which is always what I want to push as the main goal for these. Lastly, I did another Twitch stream over on our channel. It was a continuation of last week's goal: building Crossroads Library within the Sims 4. We got it nearly finished this week, and it actually looks pretty close, if I do say so myself. I can't wait for our patrons to start downloading our building - sure they can't visit in real life right now, but at least their Sims' selves can browse our library!
Per usual, I've got links to everything we did this week. Check them out here: Doggone Cute Storytime Watercolor Paint-Along Crossroads Builds Crossroads (Sims 4)
