Confirmation

Oh man... I got my confirmation today... now I'm just anxiously waiting cus I know I've got a month...  I wanna get sewing for her so bad it's not even funny.

Currently trying to get our living room fixed up so that everything isn't quite so crazy in here... I've been wanting to change our living room for a long time  Yesterday I was like "Oh I'll just"  and everything happened all at once.  I wasn't able to fix things all the way before the hubs came home so I ended up going to quantity over quality.  The main pieces are where they belong now... Except I've decided the old entertainment center has to go.  Went and took several of the old white shelves, went parts are parts on them and made a new entertainment center... It's nothing fancy but once I empty the non electronics off the old one I am looking to move all the electronics onto this thing and go to town moving it into where Things are gonna be.  Kinda exciting... not as cool as new dollies... but pretty cool

Only thing keeping me from just muscling the whole thing is because I messed up my back yesterday >.<

Oh well!  more as this story progresses..

IT"S HAPPENING!

*runs around in circles*

I just paid for Dust!  S'lithaer is gonna be made!! I haven't been this stoked about anything in a long ass time and I'm annoying the hell out of my hubs cus of it XD He's such a tolerant creature.

But yea.  Prolly gonna go buy fabric today cus I'm too hyper or something...  Maybe I'll try to get ancestor silk for him today >.> That'd make the hubs happy... BWAAH!  Out!

S'lithaer

Nickname:  Lith / Dust
Mold
Head: Winter
Body: 1/6th Deer Centaur (with Zi chest?)
Resin: Grey human parts, Custom purple deer parts and clear brown hooves and horns
Face up: By me of course!
Eyes: Hope to figure that out soon, possibly light teal eyes... something sparkly
Hair: Thinking mottled purple like from an Ombre yarn, Kinda wanna give her short sides on it...
Extras: Planning on making her little air like wings
Story:  Workin on it but so far she's a earth and air elemental, a dust elemental.  Probably going to have it be that the pure elements are naturally occurring, the "regular" mixed elements are natural mixes that kinda occurred and are being cared for by their "parent" elementals.  So... Mud, Cinder, Smoke, and Mist are "proper" elemental mixes, Steam and Dust are the "cross" element mixes and are possibly the work of some lunatic mage.  Lith is the Dust elemental, I plan on her having wings, possibly even two pairs or them, like one pair on her human back and another pair on her deer back.
History: Ok.. So!  When RS stealth announced clear resin with pics of stuff in clear resin ( O.O ) I started thinking about how I'd make a doll with clear bits.  Never really wanted a whole doll that was clear, but I was interested in something with clear bits.. Oh wouldn't it be cool to do an elemental?  I destroyed my sister's brain with "Oh wouldn't that be cool"  Then I was like "Oh what about Mixed Elementals be the 1/6th size and pure elements be 1/4th?"  Also cool.  I let that simmer, I had thought a bit about it up until the centaurs came out... Oh boy! Elementals would be super cute if Earth Elementals were centaurs and fire were dragons.. and Oh a little elemental centaur *undignified noises*  So then I realized with some help that I could forgo getting Val reshelled and just go to town on this new idea that I was so gung ho over.... And I'm not looking back... CENTAUR BABY!

Names!!!

Soooo...

S'lithaer  Pronounced S lith air.  Is what I'm going with so far, Nickname is Lith,  My sister suggested something based off of Silicon, I added aether, then as I was trying to combine the two and saw that I could kinda almost make Lithium, which is a soft white metal... and something about that really resonated with me... Not 100% sure on S'lithaer, have to throw it past the husband test first... See if he finds any rude nicknames immediately...  But yea!! tiptoeing closer to her being real!

Flurry of activity

Furious activity even.  I gotta decide what doll I'ma get... Am I gonna get one of the centaurs which I have no pictures of?  Or am I gonna get Aster while I solidify what I'ma do with the centaurs?  I mean Dust sounds like a fairly sure fire bet on what I'm gonna do with her, but colors.... not stupidly sure on.  Aster, I like her but EEEUUUNNNGH!  Centaurs!!! T_T

Honestly I wanna get one of the centaurs.  That is where my heart is leaning.  But before I can do that I have to decide if Dust is going to work, is dust going to be called dust?  Aaaaah!!!

I'll probably continue this line of thought in the shower... maybe I'll come to a conclusion and write that when I'm back from showering.

Post shower:
Ok, so I think on my elementals I might wanna do one clear, one custom and one regular.  So for dust... My idea is clear brown for hooves and horns, custom light purple for deer bits and regular light grey for people bits.  Not 100% on that yet... but getting pretty close to it...  Tiiiime to Email suuuuun! WOOOO!  I"M SO EXCITED!

turning point

So I've been saying to myself and others "I need to stop dragging my feet and actually order Val."  But yet I keep dragging my feet.  I just KEEP dragging my feet.  I mean I loved Val but he never was quite right.  But more importantly... I -Loved- him and Cassie... in the past tense.  I poured so much into the pair of them... And Now... I don't really care for them.  I mean I LOVE Lori.  She's so cute and sweet and lovely.  But Cassie and Val.... It feels Shameful but they have always been kinda formless, kinda empty.  I don't love them anymore.

So I was kinda talking that out without admitting it to myself and Mom just started talking.  Then Don't.  Just stop, don't buy Val, get someone you really want, Get the doll you actually want you don't have to stick with what you had, Wipe Cassie and make her better or whatever.  Don't keep yourself tied to something that doesn't fit.

So I'm not going to.  I have no idea what doll I'm going to get, but I'm actually excited.  Something I haven't really been for the dolls in a while.  I'll keep you posted.

all the things

So it sounds like the roller coaster that was my mom's possible divorce has come to an abrupt halt and everyone is asked very politely to get off the ride and start forgiving everyone around them for the bullshit they said.  I have only my husband and children to apologize to and that's just for being me while stressed.  With that ride halted  all the things that got put on hold in the interim are now back on, everything from the etsy (which hasn't been updated since before Puddle) to the doll stuff has to tri and take the brakes that were so rudely applied.

On to dollies, I got to introduce a new friend to dolls!  YYYAAAAAAYYY!! exciting stuff.  So I ended up taking a suitcase with to olive garden and pull out some babies while we waited for food to show.  That was fun.

Now I'm working on sorting through and putting up several dozen pictures of coats along with getting probably a dozen coats online... Yaaaay... Oh that's pretty arduous in the best of times but I also have to get the rest of the new coats photographed... >.< yikes  works cut out for me again.

Other than that, not much is going on.  I need to rearange my livingroom cus it's driving me crazy, Plus we have way too many things plugged into just like... 2 outlets so I'd like to spread things out a bit...  Well that's all I can think of atm... just a bunch of bullshit really
