I just finished a commissioned doll for the fabulous ghot

Gah!  I'm popping in to tell everyone I'll be out of fandom for a few more weeks.  The show I'm costuming is kicking my butt and I'm incommunicado to all intents and purposes.  Tell me again why I do this? o.O

I'll reconnect with everyone soon.  I'm taking pics so maybe I'll post a few.  Show opens March 13th.  I'm not sure whether to say "The end is in sight" or "The end is near!"  lol!

ttfn.....

Oh yeah...  The show is "A Man For All Seasons" in case you want to know.  Henry VIII and all that...

I decided to make a line of HP Mer-people dolls and just finished Mer!Lupin.  I don't normally squee over my own creations but I really adore this guy!  He came out so open in his expression--a warm personality but still private.  Ok...maybe I'm reading a bit too much into this? o.0  Anyway...here he is in all his wolfy splendor.  For you Snupiners I posed him with Snape in a few shots.  They look so nice together! 

Note:  This is a bit of a self-pimp.  I make custom dolls along with my costumes so I'm open to commisions--any character.  (I can make them with legs btw--I just don't like to make the tiny clothes!)

Oh...and I think there may be a doll tea-party being formed for Azkatraz.  I'll let you know if I can get more details.

Yikes!  One more thing...These guys are anatomically correct in the man-bits department.  I'll include a pic but last time I got busted.  We'll have to see...  *crosses fingers*






 

Thought I'd post a ramble on what I've been up to.  Not much, really.  Have a sniffly cold right now so I'm slow-movin'.
I've been cleaning up my diet to weed back out all the sugary treats we binge on over the holidays.  Sugar is my boogaboo for health.  I don't miss it once I'm off but man its hard to give up those homemade iced sugar cookies! 

Got called last minute on The Odd Couple at Black Box.  They just needed black suits for Oscar and Felix.  It opens this weekend.  Might go down and meet a few friends this Sat.  First time I've been down there since they re-modeled--its nice.  Fewer seats but they got that blasted pole out of the line of site! and put in a few strategic doors so patrons don't have to traipse past the dumpster on the way in.  Gah!  Ran into a friend who does a lot of graphic art for theatrical programs and such.  He's willing to do up a few ideas for a logo for Magic Needle.  I just want something simple with interesting text.

Listened to a fab new CD today. One of my favorite guitarists, Ry Cooder.  This release is Cuban music, kinda the folk/traditional/roots of... stuff he usually gets into.  He's paired up with Manuel Galban.  I'd never heard of him but I definitely endorse now!  You have to hear this.  I can't even begin to describe it.  "Mambo Sinuendo" is the title.  Gotta check with my latino friends for the translation.  (well, I could look it up--I'm not inept!  But its more fun to check with friend who is teaching herself Spanish.  It helps her feel accomplished)

Family is supposed to head up north to visit sister who is insanely living in upstate NY where its COLD!  We'll most likely ski since they actually have snow that comes from the sky.  I'm pants at skiing but get the exercise of lugging my ass and skis all over the place.  Something about sports where it takes you as long to gear up as it does to do the activity is just not me.

I've been working on my astrology.  Got my birth chart done--too interesting.  Its a lot to learn but fun.  I'm working on Tarot too, but not very energetically.  Might want to get back to it soon to see if we should take said trip (see above.)

Trying to walk 20+ minutes a day.  Have been touring the neighborhood.  Felt sorry for the dogs--leaving them behind, so now take them and try not to trip over the dingbats.  What is it about dogs that they have to be right under your feet?  This is not just my experience--ask any dog owner.  Lucky stops at EVERY mailbox.  He gives me that look every time I yank his butt to come on.  Hey!  I'm tryin' to do AEROBICS here!

Have errands to do soon.  I'm not motivated to leave our cozy nest with the temps in the 20's.  I really HATE cold.  Give me a good, humid, sweltering day anytime.  I mean I COULD DIE OUT THERE! when its freezing.  I'm one of those people who has a SURVIVAL KIT in my car from Oct thru March.

Well...I could ramble on some more but that's about the gist of my activities.  Hey...I'm hibernating, OK?  I'll be more interesting when it warms up!

ttfn...
