Dracula

By in Art!

So I totally re worked the vampire doll and he’s coming along nicely. The picture made me realize that he needs hands AND the non-raised eyebrow needs to be lower. And I think I might make those buttons gold. Other than that, he’s pretty much done. You know what I wish? Well, I wish a […]

Nesting II

By in Art!

I swore I wouldn’t work on them tonight but taking that picture made me get the itch, so I fiddled a little, as you can see: It might be hard to understand, but Frankenstein’s monster is wearing a hospital gown and little else. I made the ghost look like Jason in the first Halloween movie, […]

Nesting

By in Art!

I have been sitting on these nesting doll blanks for so long now…Periodically I would think, oh, this would be good or that would work or something (up to last night when I suggested a girl, then her muscles, then bones, guts and finally, the smallest doll, a poo and I still stand by that […]

Tink

By in a good day, we have fun

For the second year in a row we haven’t had the responsibility of taking Ari trick or treating, but we have reaped the rewards of her hard work. Good thing Shannon and I love candy, otherwise, it would go to waste. I think Ari only really likes gummies when it comes down to it. She […]

Mmm, carrots.

By in a good day, food

No Frills has bags of carrots that are all different colours. I ate a purple one last night, it was great, but it stained my hands like crazy. Then Shannon ate a white one, and it was the perfect carrot-crunchy, sweet, delicious. I need a new purse. The zipper on mine is completely broken (and […]

Painting

By in Art!, babies

Less than a year ago I made three paintings, one each for my parents and one for my sister. I hadn’t painted since, the past year has been SO crazy, but because the babies first birthday (see previous post) was rapidly approaching and I’d been meaning to do a painting for their room since their […]

First birthdays must be noticed

By in babies

I went to the twins’ first birthday party this afternoon. It was super fun, those kids make me so happy, I just love love love them! Everyone was oohing and aahing over watching their first bites of sugar, so I didn’t burst that bubble by talking about feeding them McDonald’s ice cream a couple weeks […]
