*humming the sesame street song*
Giving further thought to the cast of The Quinlan Chronicles.
I have students, professors and general dwellers of the city.
Sometimes it seems like I have far too many cast members, sometimes too few.
Why is that?
Does it have anything to do with managing to score a new figure or
two? Or perhaps, because I [...]

I’ve been mulling it over the last couple weeks… Normally Merrit would be 1st on the list, but I’m hoping to use some of the shots again as flashbacks or bit scenes in future photostories.
So I’ve been thinking about which of my characters would have been likely to travel around England.
Merrit & Mallory: nope. they [...]

Reflections on the hobby:
I really started with this hobby in 2000. I got into it primarily for
stress relief and a way to channel some of my energy in a constructive
manner. Sometimes it feels like I’ve only just started since there’s
always something more for me to learn or figure out. I keep at it
because I constantly [...]

Here on the home front there’s a lot fo stuff going on. I’m not going to go into it, since it’s stressing me. Instead, let’s talk about…Nanowrimo!
Yes, yes, I know…you’re wondering what the hell NANOWRIMO has to do with one sixthscale goodies!
Well, I decided to take up the challenge. Yes, among other things I am [...]
this week I’m fighting off a chest cold, and temping so I’m not posting or returning emails until (either tonight *fri* or else saturday. Sorry all, but I’m just knackered!
I promise all sorts of pictures & emails over the weekend!
Posted in Eh, what?, Sewing in 1:6 on Oct 30th, 2008
As soon as my fingers warm up a bit (the downside to living here is that the building seems to hold more cold and damp than anywhere else!) I’ll try to finish up my mini sewing projects. After that I’ll snap some pictures…
So look for an update a bit later!

Over the weekend I had a pretty good roll of repainting. This week I’m working on sewing up some clothes for those of my figures that are less gifted in the fashion department. (Looks accusingly at Cy Girls & Volks E bodied Raven)
Its one of my goals before the year end to see that
Raven actually [...]

Well I’ve make a bit more headway in the cyclone of mess that is my office! I at last have enough space to work on doing some re-paints.
I’ve got the following heads slated for a re-paint:
2 otaku heads
1 PB/Cy Kat head
1 electra head that I got in trade. The repaint someone else did on it [...]

This one wasn’t the most productive.
Things I got done:
Figured out the layout for Cass & Tori’s apt.(this was harder than I’d planned due to some communication difficulties w/ Mark.) Decided which walls will need windows & doors and where they need to connect. Now need to purchase (haha, I quit my job so when this [...]

I’m off to dinner but will update [...]

Against all expectations the toy fair was a pretty good experience! I managed to not only get the long coveted Honda CR 750 *and for a really really reasonable price* but I also managed to get some miniatures to use in dioramas as props. On top of that cool-ness I managed to score 3 action [...]

I don’t get to go to things like this much, so I have been waiting over the last couple weeks–anxiously–hopefully–and with much anticipation of what tomorrow might bring!
I am trying not to get too excited–the one last year wasn’t all that great, but even so, I managed to come away with somethings I couldn’t get [...]

Anyway, the state of the doll-union
It may seem that I am not doing a whole lot related to the hobby these days…and I suppose you’d be right. I am however hoping that over the next few weeks I’ll get more into the groove of things with the job and have more energy when I get [...]

NDR It’s been a busy week and it’s cut into my hobby time.
I’ve also had a couple of migraines which also cut down the hobby stuff. However, despite that I did manage to complete 2 more sewn pieces. I’ll update either tomorrow or Friday with some pictures.
(be patient, please?)

I’ve managed to get a really smashing chest-cold this week (started on weds) and I’m feeling pretty well drained. If I manage to get much done this weekend I’ll post pictures. (right now the only thing I have to show is some 1/6 jewelry for the girls)
Hope everyone else is feeling better than I am! [...]

Only a quick update: I have started work on the 1:6 patio dio. (forgive the hurried & slightly blurry pics. My free time is somewhat lacking this week)
Seeing this is the first time I’ve really mentioned this project I’ll give you a brief run down on it!
One of the comments I rec’d [...]
