Taking a lil break from the hospital. Ed was in severe pain starting around 12am, he thought it was just his back and food poisoning(the most barfing i have ever heard)around 4:30am i called his mom to take us to the emergency room, thank god she always has her phone by her. At around 10am they found gallstones and he's gonna have his gallbladder removed tomorrow. They gave me a little bed so i can sleep by him. The very good news is he had an ekg and his heart is good and chest x-rays and his lungs are good. We don't have insurance but who really gives a fuck, i just want my special guy to be healthy and home.This is a big wake up call for him/us to start being healthy and he's gonna be 30 in march and i always told him once he hits the big three oh I'm gonna control every piece of food that goes in his mouth! Also tomorrow is our 10 year anniversary, i think i'm getting a jar of gallstones<3

please keep ed in your thoughts and prayers!

Blargh! Lots has happened, Eli turned one and I still haven't gone through the pictures yet, I took too many. I completed my first wholesale order. I really didn't think i was capable of making 20 of the same thing but I did it.They're Stevens from Ed's new game, Time Fcuk.


Ed finally works just from home now, no more paying for an office he doesn't need! That also means Tommy has been staying with us, which was fun until my special lady time started and then I felt like I was in a cramped hole with the most annoying boys in the world...luckily my brain is recovering and T's mom sent brownies, mine have walnuts in them so Ed wont eat em MUAWHAAHAHA! I totally had to share the cookie that she sent, I should have hid them :x


I bought one plush and did 2 swaps!

First with Cassie of TalkProof





I bought my own lil Lauren Smash to live with me and did a Swap with Ninon!! I was her first swap! can you believe that?! JEALOUS!!!




Today I hung with Mom, we had yummy lunch and went to the fabric store. Finally there was new stuff!




I got a new tattoo! It's Guppy as Chococat!

Ooo also this came in the mail last week!


and I'll leave you with something Acacia discovered, I have big auntie boobies! :D

My how you've grown! The most handsome 1 year old in the world<3

A new creature called a Finlump, and a Sea Cucumber<3

When the moon is full and bright and the tide recedes exposing wonderlands of tide pools Finlumps can be found looking for food, tickling anemones, singing, dancing and enjoying each others company.

Nah, it's flippin September 2nd! Whoa where has the time gone...In November I will have not had a "day job" for a year, I should probably celebrate with a giveaway!

We drove all the way to Salinas today , cuz Tommy can only get a prescription (for his vd) at Walmart. Now I know this a regular place for some of you, you have one close by, someone on my FL works there even (Hi!). But lemme tell you, this place scares me. The first time we went to one was in Sacramento a few years ago, so just kinda try to imagine what that would add to the experience, just like the commercials there were 2 elderly people there to greet us at the door. All we needed was packing tape, no one knew where tape was.


Today I was scared going in, mostly from screaming children outside and just as we walked in and I was telling the guys, look! there's no greeter here, this decrepit man bracing himself on a cart welcomes us.That's pretty much it, not very exciting. But explain to me how this place is supposed to be so cheap with 4-5$ clothes but a full size bathmat is flippin $22. I know you were expecting more from this story but I try to stay out of trouble these days.


Then we went to the Mall that has a Sanrio store. So so so disappointing, hardly anything there expect a big display dedicated to Kuromi? I think that's what she's called, a sort of goth bunny thing. She does absolutely nothing for me. I need a store just dedicated to classic Sanrio, even Pekkle can be there, but no Pichacco!


By this time I was disappointed,achy, and bloated. Yes I know, not a good recipe for shopping especially for clothes, but I wanted to buy something to cheer me up. I passed up Torrid because the people there are never nice to me, I'm not fat enough for them so they snub me. So I go to forever 21, I see they have a plus size section, the clothes get uglier and uglier they didn't look like they belonged in the store not to mention I went from the regular clothes, mostly way too small, to ginormous clothes. So either someone bought everything in the middle or there's nothing for me. I'll just keep squeezing into larges for now.

This is my sad attempt at blogging part of my day. I'd like to keep it up but lately it's been me home sewing with the kitties and Ed working suuuper long hours so there's no real time for shenanigans :D

Blargh! Today was filled with sewing machine lameness. I thought my machine was beyond me fixing it so I bought a singer at Sears...I liked the singer enough it seemed really heavy duty but parts of it are not convenient to use at all, anyway I wanted to see if my old bobbin thread would fit...the thing was cracked, that might have been my problem in the first place but I was so consumed with the inner workings of it. So I lubed it up, switched out the bobbin, messed with the tension and so far so good. How come it's always me that's wrong and not the machine! Watch it mess up as soon as I got back to sewing, guh I hope not. I am on my 3rd skinny Monkey because the first two got mangled in the chaos. Any who, here's some pics.



Meet Tobias Hipposmith,Kat Kittington, and Max Pupplesworth!



Babette Beaverling, Franz Fox (the 2nd), and Olaf Owl
The owner of Shmancy suggested that we keep out pieces affordable since the ecomany is such poop! So I figured I would do just that. I did have 2 weird creatures started but I figured why not keep it simple and also people that haven't seen my plush before will get a good idea of what I do since these are shop staples. Good idea no?




In case you wanted to see Babette's tail ;)

I bought myself 2 presents off Etsy for my birthday and they came on the same day!

www.allthosethrees.etsy.com

I had this favorited for a long time and as soon as Baby D was born I ordered it!

Then a print from YaelFran that I have wanted forever.

An interview with me is up on a very cool website called Crafters Attack! and if you'd like to win one of my brooches just hop on over there to find out how :D



This is Sophie Lambington, she's been hanging around for awhile and today I finally made her a frock.

The weather has been so strange, I'm not ready for summer to be over but it did feel like fall for a minute and I got a warm fuzzy feeling inside :)

I need to get my Plush You stuff mailed asap, with lil D being born and a new kitty I sort of lost track of time.

I don't have much to say these days....but i have pictures.



Percy Pig!



I made a little red fox as a gift for one of my favorite customers who also happened to be my 300th Etsy sale.



Acacia looooves Moxie.



He had to take a nap between all the hissing and growling at Moxie....They have made progress though, he is very interested in her and they have been nose to nose without him hissing, I believe snuggles are coming soon!

that you can sneak into Sears portrait studio and use their lights,backdrops, etc.?!

You can! but you have to supply your own sweaters/sweater vests.





Also I'm 25.

We have a new nephew, born on my birthday, Dusty Elijah.



I've helped with 3 births in 3 years....still not sold on the idea :)

I have a new tattoo.




last but not least, we have a beautiful new kitty names Moxie! She was rescued by a friend in San Jose and we picked her up yesterday. She is the sweetest baby ever, even Guppy is coming around pretty quickly, I think they'll be snuggling by tomorrow night.



More pics on Flickr.

First an awesome dev. video he and Tommy made at IGF in March for Super Meat Boy!




and new Flash game!



He is sooo busy these days but at least I'll get him to myself on Friday, my birthday :) The big 25 ya'll :x

Sometime you have to take a lot of pics to get a really flattering one like this.

I had this big body lying around since a made Fat Frank, long time ago. I decided to make a monster for Acacia's birthday, I'll get to give it to her tomorrow night. I hope she loves him and he doesn't scare here, his mouth is a pocket!



aaaand since I've been riding my bike lots again i got myself a new seat, a big comfy cruiser seat.



almost done with a few commissions...


I wanna wish Franny a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! even though I dunno where he went off to.

Aaaah yesterday was a good day. I started out riding my bike to pick up Ed's lunch before he woke up. I'm trying hard to lose weight, i feel like I look fine but I am sooo uncomfortable in my clothes and I refuse to buy a new wardrobe when I have 2 closets full of cute stuff! I've been eating well but it doesn't seem to matter if I don't exercise. The ride was good, I took an easier route than I used to when I was in shape but it was still hard and I switched my gears up when it was too easy for maximum leg burnage!


After lunch we went over to sis' because Acacia was jonesing for us, they went to aunt deb's(joe's aunt) earlier and well that is NOT aunties house but my sister said "aunt+house" thus I had to see my bub :) Weeeell the other day I gave my sister a bunch of fabric that I bought when I worked at harts, yards of things that I'll never use, including some adorable flannel that I got from SuperBuzzy with the intention to make myself a pair of pj pants but I never did. So because I have the most awesome sister in the wooorld she made me pjs!! :D



Then when my day couldn't have gotten any better Ed surprised me with roses when he was out getting dinner, 2 dozen long stem pink roses<3 I actually didn't realize they were long stem till he asked me how much I caught off, oops!



Ed's at the office today for a beta test/nerd party and I'll be working on commissions. Spinnerette tomorrow!!

7.27- Spinnerette in SF!!

7.29- Pick up Tommy from the airport, the bromance continues...

8.2- Acacia's crazy Butterfly birthday party, my sister is renting out a ginormous park and made tons of butterfly wings and antennae for the kids (you know I'll be snagging a pair) and we're decorating white baseball hats. Woot should be tons of fun! We're trying to get a gameboy sp set up with tons of Games for Acacia but if that doesn't work out I want to get her a fisher price car, I always wanted one of them when I was little but my grandparents ended up getting me some type of go kart looking this with pedals, which was cool... but I just wanted the simple flinstone car :x

8.3- The SF zoo for Acacia's actual birth date day!

8.9- Sunn O))) @ the "haunted" Brookdale Lodge

In between these times and the rest of the month I'll be finishing my Plush You pieces and shipping them, being Jackie's labor coach! I bet the baby comes on my birthday :D Turning 25, Guppy will turn 7 aww my big guy<3 Also Ed's mom's bday is on the 3rd, my bro in law's is on the 12th, and my grandma's is the 27th....jeeeeze! Leos abound, we're taking over the world! (yes my grandma is actually a virgo, but if you met her you'd know she's a true leo.


Commissioned owl brooch.


Guppy contemplating turning 7

Oh woooow! I haven't really updated since before Bizarre Bazaar.

BazBiz was grand! I was only able to go the 2nd day but, I met a lot of great people and I'm pretty sure I would have totally sold out if I went both days. I was so nervous the night before I only got maybe 3 hours of sleep, by the end of the day I was totally delirious.


The opening of Stitch Wars looked awesome! and my Twi'lekling was not in the online shop the following day, meaning it sold the opening night, that gave me a much needed boost :)

Now I'm working on finishing up my Plush You pieces.

Uuuh I thought I would have more to say but....I don't!

Franz Fox, I am in looove with him!




Something fun to do with your fabric scraps! I made this a few weeks ago and when I showed it to Ed he thought it was for him so now it's his :D
