Angels and bunnies and more bunnies, oh my!

Just finished a little Wintery batch. I was in an icy-blue mood. Needed some wings and bunny ears to melt my cold cold heart. And so it is that this trio, guaranteed to thaw even the frostiest among us, is here.

I made some new stuff last week too, only I failed to share them here in Bloglandia. I think Facebook has sucked me into some sort of time vortex, leaving little time for other endeavors. If you miss me, you'll probably find me over there. But be warned. . . time vortex.

I'm forever trying to figure out how to better mange my time. Apparently, working ALL the time isn't good (even if that work is fun). Working ALONE all the time is apparently not conducive to having any sort of social life, and one might find oneself talking to one's creations a little bit TOO much. Not good. And if super-happy-creative-funtime always wins over time-to-pay-the-bills time, and numbers make me itch, and there's homework and paperwork and what-the-heck-does-this-even-mean work, and practice-the-guitar and learn-something-new-every-day, and make sure to exercise/take-your-vitamins/meditate/journal/bask-in-gratitude/get-out-there-and-meet-people because it's good for you, and you're not getting any younger, and today is the first day of the rest of your life, and , and, and. . .

So I'm doing my damnedest to find that balance that apparently exists. . . somewhere.
Doesn't it? 

In the meantime, Lulu and I will be in our blanket fort.

Thankful

Wanna make a Thanksgiving tree?

Click, print, cut, write, glue. . .voila! 

Gratitude galore!

Of course I'm thankful for so many other things (peanut butter jumps to mind),

but this motley crew is at the top of my list.

How about you? 

What are you especially grateful for this year?

I think I'm the most grateful for the love and support shown to me by my family, friends, and even strangers, in this ridiculously challenging year. Every word of encouragement, every shared story, every act of comfort. 

Thank you.

Moons, Socks, and Things with Wings

In between bouts of pounding my head against this computer screen (learning stuff is proving to be more challenging than I imagined),  I managed to do the kind of thing I'm actually good at.

Aislynn here insisted upon a make-over. She wanted wings. (And really, who could blame her?) 

Here she is holding court. She's MUCH bigger than my usual fare, so the other goodies have no choice but to look up to her.

  

Emerald, the anthropomorphic pine tree, is generally unimpressed.

 Celeste and Harvey are just plain cute. . .

 . . . as is Honey Bee. She's a happy sort, but she promises to like you even if you're having a bad day/week/year.

Olivander, Oliver, and Olivia don't care one way or the other.

 However Percival, Oxford, and Princeton, are always cheering for your success. . .

. . .while Edgar and Allen have no qualms about laughing when you trip.

And this sweet oddity is Skellyfly. She's my favorite this week. I love her strange little buggy arm/legs.

And now I must return to things that are far less fun. Computery-numbery-mathy-type things. I bought myself some stripey socks though, as a reward for my perseverance. It's scientifically proven that striped socks make everything just a little more fun.

Hope you're all having a stripey-socks kind of day!
