Elves and Supermassive Black Holes

Today I was driving home and I was loving listening to Muse. I was listening to Supermassive Black Hole for about the 5th time for the day and imagining making an elf outfit when I got home.

There is a strong link between listening to music and enjoying building for me. No music, no concentration.

I got home started building, fed a family, continued building... and here is the outcome.

Pretty Cute, huh?

A taste of Real Life

It's the end of year for rl endeavours and we celebrated with show and tell. Catehrine Wheel quilts and MBOM were started in my classes and I am so proud of the ladies' achievements!

another old favourite

Victoriana

..... by the way... I did buy more land... eeeekkkk
I think I need to swap it for another part of Victoriana though as the trees play havoc with my cameras when I am building.
I like to build at ground level, not in the sky, as I get lonesome....

Dawn

In the last year, I have seen more dawns than in my life time put together. That's a lot of dawns!
Though I never was a morning person

I have all my life been a night person.
It's when I concentrate. Its when my house is quiet. I feel creative at night.

For a year I have been watching dawns. And I have still sought those quiet times in the late hours. By gum I am tired!

Doings

I have been busy and not busy...
I did buy more land!
What a surprise!

I am very much struggling to build there as the trees are messing with my cameras at ground level, and I am too easily distracted

So I have sort of stopped building the house at the moment.

Instead I went on a little building spree for kitty winter dresses to celebrate Christmas in. Sometimes I find picking names as much trouble as making the frocks!

I start by googling something like...

frock, dress, Victorian

Then I might look for textures by googling things like:
red, Christmas, satin, brocade, lace or fabric

Then it is time for fun.
Last job is name picking.
I try to think of a name that I will remember so that I do not have to keep looking them up to work out which is which. But it hasn't worked. I simply don't remember :)
So here are the most recent ones. Peaches has been named for Peaches Latrell who was giving me some land advice while I was making it.
So the dresses have gone out into Raglan, Southend and Victoriana and I am enjoying a small trickle of funds towards all my crazy rent obligations :)

Side bar

I am looking at side bar.. where it records some of who comes...
Some(s) arrived because they searched "I hate traffic Easter egg hunt"

Remarkable!
