| I'm selling Damien. Judge is still for sale. Nothing bad, just wanting change.

Post is here, on DOA. I've had him for 5 years, I would obviously be THRILLED if someone from the flist was seriously interested, so please feel free to contact me if you are.

| We're in the midst of signing cards and making meals for our mothers, but it would be criminal to not send my momma love out this way to all of you.
To my sister other mothers, I adore you all, your wisdom, your comfort, your love. Enjoy your day because you deserve it.
To everyone who lets me be a mom, to talk about teeth, to have spots on my shirt and shove pictures in your face, I appreciate every second of it and I sincerely believe that you do care about what those boys are up to and it warms me inside and out.

I'll be sleeping in on Sunday and seeing a lot of those waggly eyebrows.

| One of my pictures of Ramona is featured in an awesome Domadoll article Mercy wrote for the latest issue of Dolls Magazine. They are going digital and a free preview issue (the one with the article!) is online here. Thanks again Mercy for including me!
Good things are happening in my studio. Lucky emails and flattering propositions are reminding me that I've got something here and I cannot rest on my laurels. I need to keep up the momentum -- I hope to share more soon.
In the meantime, Ramona outtakes.

| Well, I have decided that I'd like to have a second go at my Judge character, so my Namu is for sale. DOA thread here or email me at kittykattoes AT gmail if you are interested. He'll be the second doll I have sold since starting in 2003! *places offerings before the gods of pleasant dolly sales*

| I sort of really really need an Alice Cherry Blossom, in any incarnation.
I am going to repaint Damien, my Shin Cho. It feels like a Big Deal, as he was painted by Mink, and my first doll, and has looked this was since I got him in 2004, but his face up is very simple and I need to fall in love with him again. I think it will be good.
I think I'll repaint Pia too. To make them match-y.
Mat is considering selling Rowan. To possibly reincarnate her with a different doll, though I'm not sure his heart is in that. I'm also not sure the old Kid Delf body is worth spit. We'll see...
I keep wanting to thin the herd, but I can't.
I repaint them instead.

| So, I like toys. I also like monsters and puppets, probably a bit too much. We live in an itty bitty little house and we have made a very serious effort to weed through our collections/desires to save room for nice things and remain sane. We try to be selective.
Sometimes, I slip.
And it thrills me.

| Go see Coraline. See it in 3D, even if it means you have to drive further.
It was the first movie we've seen since Toby was born (and for quite some time before as well) and it was AMAZING and we're big fans of the book. It was an unusual case of book to movie when they actually added a lot of bits to the movie which weren't in the book such as characters and bits of background and all of it worked. But really, go see it just to SEE it. It is so beautiful that the credits are amazing. The music is perfect and sent me looking for the soundtrack immediately after (I didn't find it -- it will be released on the 10th). Stop motion animation is such a labor of love and unique talent that I really hope the movie does well.
