For the things that never make any sense! XD

I'm thinking that one of those trees made from that iridescent white tinsel stuff with lots of Snooki ornaments and other matching items. The "Snookis" would be hung in groups of three and the theme would be, well....

HO HO HO!

Win!

Oh my.... oh dear I am an evil person. I'm a terrible, horrible, wicked prankster of a person. XD

It has a setting for "sinister child laughter" and a creepy whispering of "Can you hear me?" as well as some creaking and scratching noises.... I am going to get this for my doll cabinet and then send my old roommate up there to grab something for me next time he visits.

As for why this is hilariously evil: my old roommate is terrified of my dolls. He used to cover their faces with a bandanna if I left them sitting on my desk at night.

Ain't it amusing how when people agree to leave you alone they go and talk about you behind your back saying stuff like: "I know a bunch of suethors you can rip apart'?

What morons.

I will once again praise the wonders of Dritz Fray Check. I've been doing it all over the forum, I will do so here, too. Having just worked with: costume satin, special occasion satin, satin ribbon of various widths and weights, satin blanket trim and sheer satin-y...er... stuff.... Fray Check has been a life-saver. Seriously, it's worth the extra time to run it along the edge of the pattern pieces as soon as you cut them out. XD ESPECIALLY if you're hand sewing. Seriously. Stuff should be in every seamstress' box, next to the pins and thread.

That being said... My mother sent me a box of Christmas presents, because she isn't going to be able to mail them out around Christmas time, but then she told me I can't open them UNTIL Christmas... so I get to have this stack of prettily-wrapped goodness staring at me and taunting me for ANOTHER MONTH before I can open them. Now granted... my mother lives 1200 miles away, and she'd never know the difference, since I won't be seeing her til the end of Winter, possibly beginning of spring, but I have an overactive guilty conscience, I can't lie worth a s***, and I can't stand that disappointed tone she gets when I do something that isn't really harmful, but is just...well... disappointing to her. It's more effective than all the screaming in the world at making me feel like a turd. So I have to somehow resist opening them. For a month. Guh... might as well be telling me not to open a brand new dollieh.

Yeah, I really need to get some of that >_<

Heck, sometime I trace the pattern out in Fray Check before I cut it out! That really reduces fraying.

Wow I never actually thought of that o.o That's an awesome idea. -makes note of it-

Husband's catching a cold. He turns into a useless, overgrown baby when he's sick -_- Made chicken soup and some bread in my bread machine...

My bread failed. Barely rose at all. *headdesk* well, as long as it's still edible I don't care if it actually rises or not.

One of my friends got me to watch G-Gundam...I now want a doll of Domon.

Gravedigging to add if it mean anything, I have a Kyoji sitting around unfinished because I'm lazy and haven't styled his wig. Granted I'm no stranger to Gundam character customs so...

As for Domon, two words: DAT ASS.
