This might actually tempt me back just to walk through.

You are still creating amazing things. I feel honored to be able to tell you that. Thank you.

I can only imagine. I just, when I saw your name, I wanted to let you know that Capalini Fine Furnishings & music boxes wouldn't have happened for those 8-10 years if not for your influence.
Your work is amazing.

I'm so sorry, I didn't know there had been an accident. I'm not really in SL anymore.

Thank you. I decided the same.

(btw, huge fan of your virtual world work, MASSIVE fan, you're one of the reasons I started created inworld years ago. Thank you.)

If you see this, post a robot.

Honestly, Anthony Bourdain would be my no. 2. I still can't talk about him, his way of acerbic hopefulness with the importance of understanding how much bigger and wonderful the world was, even with terrible things.

Henson would be my no. 3.

Which celebrity death hurt you the most?

I know he was a deeply flawed individual but sunshine on your shoulders was the first song I sang at age five and his voice was everything to me as a child.

I have a library card, a pet, AND a bus pass.. where are my suitors?

Me too!

White wool rabbit poppet with black eyes, standing on a black table in front of a grey felting pad, with tv (Young Sherlock, DEFINITELY Guy Pearce, don't even need to look that up) on and misc furniture shapes behind.

OMG, he's standing.

Today is a 2 coffee this morning day.

White wool rabbit poppet, with green eyes

White wool rabbit poppet with amber eyes.

White wool rabbit poppet with black eyes.

Late night crafting. Which eyes are better? I think the black read “cute”, the amber read more “hare”, and the green.. I don’t know. Thoughts?

wait, what?

And I know I'm being pedantic, but everything I've seen quotes him saying "teenage girl".. Not teenagers, not young people, but worried about a teenage girl having more sugar?

You'll have to pry that iced coffee out of my cold dead hands.

a white needle felted rabbit poppet.. no detailing yet on a black and grey background with a needle and handle lying beside it.

backside of needle felted rabbit, you can see the derriere is getting more rounded, and the thighs are thickening up. On a black and light grey background with a needle and handle lying beside it.

So.. worked for a couple more hours on the wool last night. I was exhausted after work. It doesn't look like I did much, but in truth, I rounded out the hips, bulked up the thighs, deepened the chest and gave the back a bit more roundness. #needlefelting #wool On and I added the other ear.

Be not afraid [Picture of a bird with a bunch of googly eyes placed around its head]

Happy Wednesday

Or obeying rudimentary traffic laws, like not turning right when there's a sign that says "NO RIGHT ON RED".

Prodigal Son

That was my first thought as well.

I had to do a lot of driving around the holidays, so I did my annual The Christmas Carol reading by listening to him. It was kind of awesome, because he's not perfect? Like, he'll stumble over a word, or take a drink. Feels much more like someone actually reading to you.

I have not! oh wow, that's amazing. I'll have to keep track of her.

If you like the accent, you might enjoy The Cultured Bumpkin. I am on his Patreon, but he reads classical literature with.. this accent.

Oh no, I'm proud of it.

You'd think it'd be easier to find with all the leaf rot, tree mold, limestone caves, dampness, coal, mining, snake handling, folklore.. someone would be writing more of it.

I was born and grew up in the Smokey Mountain range. I have that long I in my iced tea, and have never been able to get rid of that accent.

I loved the podcast Old Gods of Appalachia, but finding written S. App. horror is actually kind of hard.

OMG, thank you! I'm REALLY tired of being handed book recs of the female protagonist who's "older" and is like.. 35. Like.. what??

Also, really into southern Appalachian horror as well, considering I grew up there.

A very peeve red starfish named George.

A cross between Cthulhu and Totoro, a Tothulhu, with a red starfish on his head.

A stand of christmas ornaments, snowmen with multicolored ear muffs, and santa claus faces, needle felted.

A grouping of plush needlefelted bunnies (and dragon) in front of ferns?

My mother taught me the basics of crochet, but I really started doing more 2 years ago. The needlefelting, just looked fun. And I started making these little furry things.

The green thing is my Tothulhu (totoro/cthulhu) and was a music box that played "Killing Me Softly With Your Song".

LLOOOOOOKKKKKK at these! OMG, so adorable.

OMG those are adorable!! I envy you for knitting. I can't manage the whole two needles thing. 1 needle .. in anything really.. is the best I can do. Crochet, needle felting..

THANK YOU! I'm so tired of reading about the youts in my fiction. Give me older people, please.

See? It's like the brain gets caught. I'm not complaining, mind you. I'm happy to make bunnies all day long, you're right.. they are frigging adorable. Would love to see your socks!
