A New Friend

Now that we have our very own art room

(which is the size of a walk-in closet, but it's way better than the kitchen table!),

Scribble and I have been having a blast making things together.

Lately I've been working on several little projects, and Scribble has been more than happy to lend a hand.

Scribble kept acting like she heard a noise from the bowl filled with paints.

I figured she was just up to her usual silliness though...

She kept worrying over the noise, so I told her to go investigate.

Imagine my surprise when she actually discovered someone lurking in the paint!

Scribble, being as friendly as she normally is, didn't take long to coax her onto the desk...

"Can we keep her?"

Apparently, her name is Pastel and she decided to join us because I needed "more color in my life."

She's quite interested in seeing the world around her

and was excited when Scribble said she could take her place is my "traveling muse."

(Pastel is a 11cm obitsu with the nano Gretel head. I'll have to make a more detailed post about my thoughts on these obitsus, but I must say, I'm quite smitten with her!)

In baby news, I'm due next Monday!

We went to the doctor today and it looks like Summer is going to be just like her brother

and require a c-section to be convinced to join us.

I was so hoping to hear from the hospital today to schedule it,

but hopefully tomorrow I'll know when she'll be joining us!

Loomy the Laundry Monster

I have a confession to make...

I can never stay ahead of the laundry.

I seriously think my hamper is a bottomless pit and that the clothes in it multiply on their own.

I fear that it's gotten so bad I've attracted...a creature.

I managed to get a shot of him while passing by the hamper the other day...

I found him again later when I opened the laundry room...

It turns out he's a friendly little guy and I managed to catch him to take better pictures.

He even let me take a picture of his cute little tail!

We decided to call him Loomy.

After playing with him for awhile, we released him in a place we knew he'd be comfortable...

At least now I know why I pulled ten of my son's socks from the dryer and none of them made a pair!

Loomy is about 6 inches tall (sitting) and is made mostly of fake fur.

He was handsewn and painted.

Have a great week, you guys!

The Case of the Missing Pie

I woke up the other morning and decided it was a morning that chocolate pie would make a perfectly acceptable breakfast.

(I, being female, believe I have the right to make that decision on certain days.)

Scribble, was very quick to agree and grabbed a fork and plate.

Imagine my surprise when I removed the foil only to discover someone had eaten the filling out of the entire pie! All that was left was a sad little pie crust....and a very guilty fork, covered in chocolate.

Scribble found this to be quite amusing.

I was not nearly as pleased.

(Hell hath no fury like a woman denied her chocolate.)

Scribble, being her typical helpful little self, decided to question a few of the residents to see if they knew what had happened to the pie.

First, she asked Moth.

Moth gave a little gasp and claimed she couldn't image anyone she knows would do anything so awful.

Scribble thought she'd ask Blush to see if she saw anything...

...but Blush just blushed shyly and promised she hadn't seen a thing.

I finally decided to take matters into my own hands and went to our resident fairy.

Fairies, after all, typically make it their business to know everything that goes on in the house.

Trinket happily perched on my finger and giggled at me

(her typical first response when I ask her a question she feels is silly.)

 

She then pointed out that I should very well know who ate the pie. After all, only one person in the house is known for getting midnight snacks...

 

Luckily for my husband, Scribble quickly saved the day by jumping into my hand with a very special surprise.

(I told my husband of my morning dilemma and he just laughed and laughed.

I still did not find it nearly as amusing!)

In other news, I am almost done with my next doll.

I'm still working on my furry friend, but had to take a break from him to complete this doll. Now that the time has changed, I should be able to have enough daylight to photograph her when I get home from work during the week!
