I'm so out of love with handbags right now...

Seriously, I haven't seen a bag that I really like for years. I search... but always come up empty.

All I want is a veggie tote, messenger or large satchel, preferably in black, that will go over my shoulder if not over my head. Also must be neither too stiff nor too floppy. And no dangly or frou-frou, please. I would, though, like something attractive. Silver hardware is a plus.

Also, I would prefer not to have to take out a loan to get it. Because I couldn't.

Argh.

Silly blog, I know. Just one of those things that always bugs me.

quickie...

Just wanted to get a quick post in before midnight. The power went out earlier, and I was afraid I wouldn't make it on time. No work tomorrow, so I should have time for a better post.

Rahr, recession. My poor little paycheck...

Anyway, I think the lovelies are ready for bed now, so I'll sign off until tomorrow.

out of the mood...

Do you ever get like that? Just out of the mood for anything.

Sitting and staring. Maybe I should go and read for a while.

*stirs from sugar coma...*

Oh, kitty, grow up.

Have I mentioned that I need a haircut? Badly.

No art to show today. It has just been difficult to get time alone with the computer for the past couple of days. Hopefully tomorrow... I had to insist upon time to post here today.

I have been working on my Empress card for the Suzi Blu project... (By "working" I mean, well, there's gesso down.) I hope to have it done by Friday, but if not, I'll just get it done when I can.

I have a good idea for her. I'm curious to see what I actually end up with.


Here's a baby picture of Mr. Oliver Squeakers. Just because. Doesn't he look ferocious?

Well, today the financial pinch of cut back hours at work, and the physical pinch of my clothes on my compulsively over-eating body didn't stop me from buying... a whole, whole bunch of heavily reduced Halloween candy. I now have quite the little stockpile. Enough to last well into spring.

I also have a new blue wig and Pussyfoot pajamas and a little Ty "Fraidy Cat" and, for ze reading, Steven King's Duma Key.

All set for hibernating. I wish I could hibernate. Well, not the sleeping so much... I just want to hole up with the lovelies and paint and read and write and snuggle and such for a few months.

The Lovelies:



Actually, I think we'll just snuggle up on the futon and read a couple of chapters. Wow. I find myself looking forward to that.

thirsty?

This is another little 5x5 plaque... I think she's done. Not sure just yet.

First...

Can you guess what's in the neato little pocket?

Need help?




A little over three months ago I won this lovely from Rose at What I Made Today on Win A Whimsy Wednesday! (Link is in my blog list, over there on the left. Go make with the click-y. This blog is amazing.)

I love this little witch. She always makes me smile. The scan doesn't really do her justice, so just know that she looks like this, only better. The blue and red are, hmmm, I think the word would be pearly. I love the design and just the overall "feel" of this piece.

Belated thank you, Rose!

I'm coming back...

I know, I know. I've said it before.

I really am tired of letting depression get the best of me, though.

So... I signed up for NaBloPoMo. Yep. Me. Kitty. That woman who was going to start posting again (again) over a month ago. (Again.)

I have a lot of catching up to do, and I'm going to do it one day at a time.

yes, i'm a latecomer...

But I am falling in love with Amanda Palmer. And it's probably because of this song.



How's this weekend for that update post, huh?

wait... i was gonna... but...

I sit down to post, and end up staring.

And end up looking at the awesomeness of other peoples blogs.

And stuff.

I have lots to share... so please don't give up on me, huh?

(Just, you know, watch. I have enough stuff for a superwhammobangup, erm, update. I just have to get the fingers and the brain to sing together.)

(No, not like Gwyneth Paltrow and Huey Lewis in that movie.)

(Did I spell either of those names correctly?)

(I should probably just go and watch Torchwood and practice shading my Petite Dolls until this passes.)

(Please love me back.)
