meme questions to avoid nano. G From Zag

1. How many dolls do you currently own? How many would you like to own?
Around 20. Around 20. I like them all, I really adore all the different sizes and looks. Though my kids are all rather happy or thoughtful.

2. New life, new house - everything you had hoped?

Retired life rocks. New house is so in process. But yeah love the openness of the house and the area. I think the house was redone to take down lots of walls. I don't mind boxey but the open living to kitchen area is neat. No one can get lost, everyone is part of every conversation. Nothing is everything, but my brother is working on an artist studio in my garage and boy is that going to make it incredibly close.

3. Pets?

My kitty Shadow, best and smartest kitty in the world. A black tuxedo kitty of 14 years.

4. Is there a year of your life that you consider to have been Epic?

hmmm, interesting. I have to say that the first year in the Army was totally amazing in the coming of age way. Then the year I learned to snow ski was incredible, unhappily I did do up my knee and was under the sway of cocaine, but other than that hitting the slopes from Friday till Sunday for an entire winter, yeah way cool. And then this past year, since I quit working last November - another very much coming of age again. Growing up, making big changes and really enjoying so much of it.

5. Is there a perfect writing situation in which words flow for you?

Writing is like giving blood. It's really good once they take the needle out.

So while I wasn't watching Keahi and Justin became close buddies. Not sure what the future holds. I need to get the rest of the MSD sized boys home again.

I almost forgot to mention that Kane, Keahi, Shan, Kapono and AleX have recently celebrated their 4th anniversary. Today is actually the day that Shan came to live with me four years ago. And yeah time flies.

Here's a pic from yesterday of the Little Gang who're finally home in Tracy. Minus the biggest boys, who're sitting near the computer.

More doll pictures, quite pointless but fun for sure

2009-10-30T20:46:23Z

We need more dolls on the flist, so yes per thelyn I'm gonna do my part.

So here we go...

The Pukis were really excited about the pumpkin I bought and they all decided to dress for halloween. Only they all wanted to be princes! So yeah what can ya do;

Here are the pukis hanging out, watching the kitten closely

I think they're thinking the kitten is a little to intense so they're all concerned.

The pukis are, kitty who is a pukisha, Puck who's a Sugar, Pepper the wild haired piki, and Mocha the chocolate cupid.

So they all decide they should march to trick or treat. So they all line up for it.

The marching does not go as planned

And in the end the kitten is king of the internet.

Omake; Kitten was not attacking the lobster, Lobby is his friend.

Good grief. I think Soom may have gotten to me.

Learning to use word recognition

2009-10-09T17:19:39Z

So I just started using word recognition. With the Dragon NaturallySpeaking. It takes a little getting used to but it's easier than the earlier versions.

So anyway the cold is better still, achy and chilly. Need more books. I think I've read three mysteries so far, one was good.

Hopefully we'll take pictures this weekend. The boys are looking good.

Studio time

2009-09-30T17:47:49Z

Back to trying creativity. These two started out as two tiny baby dolls from the same mold. I resculpted them for fun and to learn a little of what could be done with a little extra porcelain clay. This is after the first fire.

The changelings.

detail on first baby

Off to the studio

2009-09-25T17:10:15Z

I'll be back Sunday, hopefully with loads of pictures.

Much better thanks

2009-09-11T14:33:53Z

Yeah well I hate to talk about health and stuff here, but I apologize for the lack of art. Pulled back muscle followed by new meds that gave me vertigo. But yeah back is good and I've gotten used to the new stuff for the most part so.

Mom called yesterday to tell me she'd received a long narrow box in the mail. And of course without thinking I said, "Oh, that must be the body from Korea."

Mom's phone: Crickets.

me "Doll body, doll...I have a head that needed a body."

her "Oh! Okay we thought it might be fireplace tools."

me...nods at phone, laughs. "Sorry, just wanted to be sure it got here."

her "What's EMS anyway?"

So my minimee Eric now has a body. I'm working on blue eyes, so far nothing appeals that much. I have found a couple blond wigs, but not too sure. I'd like to find something with no bangs.

In other news watched Doctor Who and Blood Ties while I was out of service. Uhmmm didn't Tanya Huff write Henry as bi? I've watched 3 eps and all straight. Oh well.

I've done a couple drawings, hopefully will do shading today.

Having the construction crew over tomorrow, gotta go shopping.

Off to San Jose for the weekend. A mini vacation to do artwork, take care of a kitty, and just hang out with some old friends.

I'm actually very much looking forward to it all. Will take pics of the porcelain stuff - should be interesting.

Mostly for Heather and Mercy day 26

Crocker art museum and Japanese women contemporary ceramic artists:

A big variety under the cut.

and for variety, this is what the western art room looked like - it was just not a good way to display stuff, I always wanted to see stuff that was 15 feet up.

Heading out for the wilds of Sacramento today. Construction resumes on my house tomorrow. Sunday at the folks.

I think my retirement just jerked up a notch.
