I'm a cute little monster!




What Your Cute Monster Says About You



You have enthusiasm for almost everything you do in life. You have a super playful attitude.

You are curious about the world, and you love to learn. You rather figure people out than rush to judge them.



Your inner demon is pride. You can't help but have a big head sometimes.

People think you're cute because you're adventurous. You always bring some fun, which is super charming.

I have the bestest best friend in the whole universe!

Seriously, she is awesometacular. Christy sent me a box of my things from Virginia, sewing stuff that I'd asked for, and my pillow. <3 That was about what I was expecting, plus a little bit of fabric.

Instead, I got this box of awesome. It's big enough for a pillow across the bottom, without folding, and deep enough for three or four pillows, without squishing them.Photobucket

My pillow was in there, with my sewing bits, ribbons, my good scissors, my eyelets, buttons, snaps, thread, etc etc. But what was filling that huge box, was this:

That's pretty much my entire assortment of doll clothes. :3 It's not organised yet, but I just managed to fit it all in a bottom drawer of the chest of drawers. *squeals delightedly*

When I opened that box I squealed really loudly, and I pretty much didn't stop squealing for like an hour and a half. XD There were a few more things in the box, that I'd had with my doll clothes. Elli's Bass, some of my tiny stuffed animals, and some fabrics. :3

This is what my room looks like now.

And the last bit of awesome was this fabric she found shortly after I left Virginia. X3 Does it not SCREAM Rorek?

After an almost boring month so far, this was just a fabulous surprise. THANK YOU CHRISTY! <3

Me? Sick?

I seem to have caught a cold. I'm already doing better, but for the past two days or so, I've been feverish and having what I thought was, a bad allergy fit. The sneezing has stopped mostly but it feels like it's trying to move down to my lungs now. I'm drinking lots of juice, and I've been sleeping alot. Hopefully I'll be back to my jovial self by tomorrow. :3

Doll Sculpting

Once again I am overwhelmed with the urge to sculpt my own doll. I couldn't explain why I want to, except that if I were to take the bits and pieces of the dolls I like best, and splice them into one, frankenstein style, it'd be far more expensive.

I love the Unoa dolls, specifically Sist and Lusis. I love the cloven-hooved Sard and Beryl from Soom, but I don't want my creature to be that huge. I want to have an approximately mini-sized doll, maybe somewhere between mini and SD10, and I want it to be a Unicorn. I've talked briefly about this before, but I've seen alot of beautifully designed lower legs in the style I want to do, recently and I've got that bug again.

I want to learn to sculpt, and I want a doll of my very own, that I made myself. Ideally I'd eventually have him in resin but right now I'm more focused on the actual sculpting. I have very little experience, save Junior Highschool Art. I can't help but think though, that if I really gave it a try, I'd have the necessary talent to sculpt my Unicorn boy(s). I have it all visualized. I just need to know how to start.

What materials should I start off with? What tools do I need? I don't know the answer to either question.

Fashion Meme

Taken off my livejournal friendslist.

1. What is your default outfit? Khaki shorts, a black t-shirt with words on it, and flipflops or my brown sneakers.

2. What is your most worn piece? The shorts.

3. Do you carry a bag? Big or Small? Usually I just stuff everything I need in my pockets, wallet, phone, keys and inhalor. If I'm carrying more than that I bring a messenger bag.

Hooray redheads!

So the wig I ordered for Declan arrived today and the color is perfect! Unfortunately 6-7 seems too small. I could have sworn the label from his brown wig said 6-7 too. Ooops! So.. I gave it to Seanan. Then I took pictures of him with Declan. The first picture is just to show how perfect the color is, compared to his fur wig.

Seanan looks pleased! But I realized I need new eyes for him. Anyone know where I can get some pretty dark blue eyes in low/no-dome 14mm? I'll be re-ordering the wig in 7-8 next month. :3

I also finally got Code Red again. @_@ I'd been without soda for about four days and was getting sick of the caffeine headaches, and other withdrawal symptoms. I am an honest-to-god caffeine ADDICT, and the only thing that seems to help is Mountain Dew Code Red.

Playing in the yard. :3

I took my little girl outside today. She hates wearing shoes but I put some sneakers on her so her feet wouldn't get all scratched up. The weather was pretty nice, partly cloudy with a cool breeze.

So, when I was online ordering Declan's new wig, I also visited an ebay store and saw some really cute boots, and since Bubbles* has only some white sneakers I ordered them. They were really inexpensive and super cute. They're red like Ichigo's boots, but ankle length. I hope they're as cute in person as they were in pictures.

*Bubbles is her temporary name. :3

Saturday was Awesome!

So, Saturday I went to help my younger sister () and her fiance move into their new apartment. I had Ichigo and Bubbles* with me, and took a couple of pictures while we were waiting for the trucks. :3 Just this one turned out though. The others were washed out beyond saving.

Photobucket

Once Wolf came with the trucks, I helped move some boxes, and then helped unload at the new place, and then it was time for me to go. I would have helped for the whole day but frankly I wasn't being much help (sorry!) and my friend , was in town, and we were gonna get together. She's from Austin as the name implies. So I had James bring me back so I could shower and change before going to hang out awhile.

We had planned to go see Appaloosa with her friends who were coming in from out of town, but we decided after we hit it off so well in the car, to hang out and play with our dolls instead. XD She had Sin and Puki with her (or is it Pookie?) and they were awesome. I had a very difficult time wanting to give her Puki Pukisha back at the end. XD It is SO cute. I will definitely need to get one or two of my own. She let me play with her different parts and such, and I took a few pics.

Ichigo was smitten. He was enthralled by Sin, who is a Trent Reznor MiniMee, and seemed to actually respect him. It was the weirdest thing I'd ever seen cause he's such a mischevious brat. He also LOVED the kitten and wanted to take her home. I need to see about getting a couple once I've found employment.

We had a ton of fun, and I totally want to hang out again soon!

Chibi Roro, and the others. XD

As promised, Yo pics! This doll has been an adventure. It came to me as a girl, I made it into a boy, cycled through around five different characters, and realised it was meant to be a girl all along. I have no idea what her name is going to be now, but at any rate I present (temporarily named) Chibi Roro.





And I think this one screams 80's music video. LOL.




And then I busted out Elli and Declan (And then all the dolls but the heads), but I posted the Declan pics yesterday.



All the dolls except Onigiri and Stabler, and with Vivi (who belongs to Neko's Fiance) on the end borrowing a pink wig from Ichigo.

Hooray dolls! 8D I haven't played with them like this in awhile.

Declan is a skater boy, apparently.

I continue to be inexplicably tired. My insomnia comes and goes. It's barely 10pm central time and I'm already wanting to climb into bed and pass out. Whereas, yesterday I was still very much awake at 5am. Not WANTING to be either. I wish my body would just make up it's mind, seriously. But that's enough whining.

I got some awesome pictures of the dolls yesterday. I'm just gonna post the ones of Declan stealing Elli's skateboard for the moment. Yo cuteness soon, but not right now. ;D

Oh and I've put a different wig on Declan as you can see. I'd prefer something in this cut but with more red to it, like his fur wig. Anyone know where I can find a ginger wig in 6-7 size?

About Me

I post about the things I enjoy, which are sewing, photographing my dolls, designing new outfits, knitting, which I started in September of 2008, thanks to my Mom, and occasionally drawing, or painting.

I also post about Life Events and how they affect me and those that I love.
