FINALLY! (long post ahoy)

So I'm finally 95% over this damnable cold, and I'm FINALLY getting some stuff done.  One of the two commission wigs is finally done and I'm getting to work on the other, slowly but surely working on it a little bit every day.  For some reason these SD wigs are just hell on me... probably has something to do with the fact that I'd rather be making wigs for Lotus and Izuko, but I was having problems with it well before that.  It might be the uncertainty with the size.  I LOATH the uncertainty I feel when making wigs without an appropriate head to try it on... I don't like flying blind.

My mom's Ya is due to come home either end of this month or early next month, we're all so damn excited it's stupid.  in preparation for her coming home mom and I went and did a shopping spree down at hobby lobby and ben franklins... and holy cow did we come out with some fun stuff.  New stuff is littered around my house, I still need to make the necklaces for Xuza and Cassie.  I'm gonna make one for Lotus out of the spare bits, and earrings for Cassie... I've got a full plate... which brings me to my largest excitement.

Dolly bed!!! Mom bought me a metal... Thingy, I guess it was a plant stand or something, and it' going to be converted into a dolly bed.  Not just any dolly bed, a full size/queen bed for Val and Cassie.  I've honestly got my work cut out for me a bit, gotta make EVERYTHING for it, mattress, sheets, blankets, quilts, pillows, the whole shebang.  But when it's done... Oh man.  I thought the couch was cool, I just KNOW this is gonna be epic.  And best part is, if it turns out I don't like the first set of blankets I put on it... I CAN MAKE MORE!  Nothing about the bedding is permanent, it's not like the cushion on the chair where I had no choice to change it afterward without ripping the thing apart.  If I decide to change something.... I can just do it!  Mom's bed is in yellow with green and pink smattered in, Mine... well we all know I can't resist purple, and being that the bed frame is kinda earthy tones Purple will be the highlight and I'll probably go a chocolate brown and a comfy green to join the purple.  we'll have to see what Delights I can get from the Fabric store for this >.>

On a side note, the kids now have those melty beads... you know.. the ones that you put on the little peg boards and Iron them... and after makign a few stock items I've begun making them plants and zombies... from plants vs zombies.  The sunflower came out a little lack luster, but the face is really kinda hard on that one...  the squash came out fantastically.  Now I need a few shooters and some Zombies  to fight off and we'll be going to town.  I do love making stuff for my kids and these are fun and fairly easy, so... why not!?!

One thing I failed to get while I was at Hobby Lobby was magnents.  they had the high powered magnents that I need to put in Lotus's torso so I can put wings on her but I failed to remember to.  I need to pull her wings out of the closet and atleast make her a rig for them >.< poor little fairy... having to run around without wings!
