Grady the Giraffe

So, anybody got $14.98 just sitting around burning a whole in their pocket?  Now, those of you who said yes, do any of you want to buy me something cool?  Ok, the two of you who said it depends on what it is, would you buy me this awesome giraffe?

Isn’t Grady awesome?!?  Well to be “PC” his full name is Grady the Giraffe, and I love him.  I mean honestly what’s not to love about it?  I mean first of all, he’s a giraffe.  Second of all, look at that retro vintage replica fabric he’s made out of.  And third of all, did I mention he’s a freaking giraffe?!?  I know right?!?  Wait?  What?  You aren’t that impressed with Grady?  Color not jazzing with you?  No worries.    There’s a Grady for everyone!   Observe.

So is this orange color more “a-peeling” to you?    Haha!!! Get it?  A-peel…oh you know what, forget it.  Geez, tough crowd.  Moving on.

Eeyore to overdone for you, but you still want something to help reflect your sad yet colorful emo-ish mood?  Then look no farther than this lovely blue gem right here.  Isn’t he awsesome?  What?  Flowers a bit much for your depressed mood?  Fine then.  I haven’t given up yet.

Perhaps something more sunny for those you who are mourning the loss of your beloved Summer.  It’s ok guys, only 6 more months and it will warm up again.  You can do it.    Come on, you’ve got to be looking forward to the bitter cold and blizzards some parts of the world are bound to have this Winter.    Humm, no?  *rolls eyes*  Ok, give me one more try guys.  I’ve got one more trick under my sleeve.

Pink, girlie, cute, and pretty all wrapped into one. What is not to love?  I ask you.  Honestly?  I mean what’s cuter than a guy not afraid to wear pink.  He’s awesome, n'est pas?  Humm, I’m starting to think that perhaps I’m the only one who loves as Grady as much as I love Grady.  I just don’t see why Grady doesn’t have an awesome following.  He’s super cute in all the fabric choices, and has a different personality for each one.  He’s unique almost like…ummm…hummm….Pokémon!  Yeah!  And you simply have to collect them all.  LOL!  Humm, collect them all.  Doesn’t sound half bad.  Hey the two of you from before who said you’d buy me a Grady for $14.98…could we possible make it all of them for $74.90 plus tax and shipping?    Hey, where are you going?!?    I still stand behind what I said before, tough crowd. 

But seriously guys, I just had to make this post to share the awesomeness of Grady.  I think one of the main reasons I like him is because Grady for some reason makes me think of the name Brody, which is one of my dogs’ names.  And Grady seems like this silly big loppy animal kind of like our Brody.  Brody is big and loveable but also has his kind of silly look and way about him.  So I love Grady for that.  The vintage looking fabric also helps, I love the look of vintage fabric and vintage replica or vintage themed fabric.  So this guy is perfect for me…except for the price.  LOL!  15 dollars is a bit to much for me to spend on a stuffed animal, so I will just admire him from afar.  Oh and of course add him to my Pinterest for easy viewing of course.  LOL.

And now I am off my lovelies.  I am going to settle down and watch a movie or two before going to sleep.  My sleep pattern is off again sadly, and I need to work on sorting it back out before I am waking up around 5 p.m. again instead of 10 a.m.  I’ll worry about it tomorrow night.  Tonight it’s movie time.    Talk to you later.  Be good until then.  Bye for now.

Happy Autumnal Equinox!!!

{source}

So that’s a wrap on summer 2011.  And I couldn’t be happier!!!  Sure we’ll still have some summer layover weather but other than that it is cool temps for the rest of the year!!!  *does the happy dance*  So I want to wish you all a Happy Autumnal Equinox and Happy First Day of Autumn!  I hope you did something awesome today and managed to stay cool seeing that the date is the only thing that makes me think of Autumn today, well that and the rain.

So what are you all doing today?  Me?  Well I don’t plan on doing much, but I do plan to finally clean up my craft area and finish work on Estelle/Estella…working name for my Bitty Bitsu.  I wanted to give her hair time to set.  I think the layers are done.  Now it’s time to do her face-up, which I am nervous about.  Granted I won’t have to do the dreaded eyes because she has acrylic eyes, but still I want to give her a soft childlike glow and feel so I am worried I will make her to adult looking.  Fingers crossed I’ll get it right.  Then I am going to work on some outfits for her and my Monster High Frankie Stein, if they work up right I will be reproducing some for sale.  So fingers crossed tight for that too. 

And that’s about it for this post.  I am off to have some crafty fun!    Hope your day is awesome times infinity and beyond.  Talk to you lovelies next time.  Be good until then.  Bye for now.

Who’s your fave monster?

From Monster High that is.  Why do I ask?  Because you or someone close to you may be forced to make a choice.  Why?  Well for Halloween of course!

Clawdeen

 

Draculaura

 

Frankie Stein

Aren’t they cute?!?  I love Frankie’s outfit the most, but they are all cute.  I saw them in the Party City flier today.  But they really aren’t monsters to me.  Humm, I’ve gotta be able to do better than this.  Humm, oh I know!

Hehehe.  This is a morphed picture of me and Ariel.  I have to say we do not make an attractive morphed person.  Should I tell you which belongs to who?  Hummm…nahhhh…I’ll keep you guessing.  :-D  Ok, I really need to try to get some sleep.  I just feel icky to the tummy, and it’s hard to sleep when it feels bad.  But I’m going to try now since it’s so late.  Later lovelies.

One more to torture you with.

So I made one more morph of a friend I forgot to make.

This one is of me and my friend Brian.  He always said he’d love to be the mommy of his child.  He’s gay but would like to be a daddy one day and it honored me that he considered me as potential mommy material.  So I had to try a morph with him and not to bad if I might say so myself.  :-)  Ok, now I’m seriously taking off.  Night all.

Loves ya,

Boredom, babies, and Brad Pitt.

I know what you are thinking.  “Um, Chelle, what’s up with that title?”  :-D  Hehehehe.  I was bored tonight after doing some cleaning and not really getting to other things I wanted or needed to do and I decided to take a break and try out this morphing website I heard about.  I had always wanted to try those “See what your baby will look like,” sites but they want an email and a cell phone number and umm yeah so not worth it to get spam.  So when I heard about the Morph Thing website I had to try it out.  Following is my adventure in baby making…with random men.  :-)

We’ll start off with this little beauty.  She’s a mix of me and Prince, as in the singer.  He and I have decided that we are either going to name her Diamond, Pearl, or Nikki.

Next up and my baby with Taye Diggs.  Seems to be a little messed up in the genes there.  We aren’t sure who’s genes messed things up but we love this little one just the same.

This next little darling looks a lot like her father Steve Martin.  Why Steve?  Why not?!?  Ok, I had a mini crush on him back in the day…and maybe still do have a tiny one on him now.  :-)

My next beautiful baby comes from my brief affair with Adrien Brody.  We lived, we loved, and then I left.  He had to many issues.  So not a situation to raise children.

Now this next one is a prime example why you shouldn’t sign up for those free science evaluations.  I thought I was going in for sleep therapy and nine months later this little one came along.  Come to find out, I was one of many experimented on to produce the spawn of Hitler.  I know!  But alas, he’s mine, so I love him.  :-)

So my next child is the next great wizard of all time.  He’s just missing his daddy’s scar, thank goodness.  I think Harry Potter proved that having a cool lightening bolt scar isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Now this next one gets more to the title of the post.  Brad and Angelina have decided that instead of running all over the world to adopt a child they’d just open up a program to allow people to reproduce for them.  Since I had nothing going on at the mo’ I decided meh why not.  This young lad is the product of that program.  I was paid handsomely and you can expect this little one’s photo spread in the next issue of People Magazine.

Now after having Brad’s baby, I decided I needed to up my stats and make it a little harder to get my quality genes.  I wanted my next child to really make an impact on the world.  It was at this time I got a call from Obama in search of the original Michelle.  Well, this was an opportunity I was not prepared to turn down.  So here is our little one Miylieta.  You like that name?  So do I.  :-)

Now my last, and I must admit, favorite celeb baby is with my believe Ewan MrGregor.  The cutest thing, right?  So cute, and I’m sure Ariel and Ewan’s wife will understand.  :-D

Now these next few are just babies I could potentially have with some friends.  David.  This one I had to try because he was my first boyfriend and we’d always planned to have kids one day.  So this was interesting.

Shawn, who almost didn’t make it in this post because he had an issue about me posting this picture.  Um yeah, you can’t tell what he looks like from this picture alone.  I will say this much, I don’t wear glasses so those are his.  The rest I’ll let you guess on.  :-)

Kenny.  I don’t know why I’m kind of disturbed how girlie she looks in this one.  If you all knew him you’d understand more about what I mean.

Now these last two babies are products of me and Ariel.  This one I see as being our son.  He has my nose and cheeks and his daddy’s brows and chin.  The eyes seem to be a mix of the two leaning more towards mine.

And this one I see being our daughter.  And oddly enough she looks a lot like me with a strong hint of him in there.  They eyes are my shape but the coloring really isn’t either.  Maybe a mix.  She has my cheeks, his mouth and chin, and I believe a mix of our brows.

Now one funny thing about all these pictures are no matter how I morphed them they all ended up with the Serba nose.  The folks on my mom’s side of the family have this little ball at the end of their noses and I got it also and it passed on to all these babes.  It does make me wonder if that will carry on to any kids I have.  Ariel has strong facial features like a strong nose so his could win out or it could be a mix of both which would be interesting to see.  LOL!

And for a final morph, I decided to try morphing me and my favorite actress ever Audrey Hepburn.  It’s interesting to see myself morphed with her.  There’s a lot of her in there, but even she has the Serba nose.  LOL!  The nose reigns supreme!!!

So I hoped you enjoyed this and run off to morph yourself with celebs or people you know.  It’s a fun way to kill some time.  I wanted to post something doll related, but since I have nothing to report on right now I decided to just post this instead so I have something to post today.  But I’m off now to get some sleep.  I still have a lot of things to catch up on *coughemailscoughcommentscoughetccough* But just wanted to make sure I posted today.  Talk to you all tomorrow.  Bye for now.  :-)

Hey! Buy this house…but only if you are a doll lover. :-D

What?  I’m dying to know who will buy the recently finished house across the street.

Let me just say, drawing compared to actual house is spot on.  It’s been interesting to watch this house be built from destroying the woods that once lived in it’s spot, to building the foundation, to loud early mornings of banging and sawing, to the finished look.  Let me just say, it’s the newest house in a neighbor hood that was built in the 70s.  We have like two houses that were built in like the 90s but the rest were 70s and 80s.  There is another plot next to this house that will have a house on it eventually.  I’m so surprised they will get two houses on this plot of land.  But let me just say, that when the second house is built, if you fart your neighbor will hear it.  :-D  Ok, so some internal pics.

Living room with fireplace.  This is at the back of the house.

I actually love the kitchen.  It’s big enough and it’s open.  But the cabinets look kind of dated to me, or cheap.  One of the two.  The counters look ok.

This right here seems like a wasted picture.  Showing the ceiling fan.  I think that is common in most new houses now.  But it does show the crown molding which is not common for houses in this neighborhood.  Perhaps the rich neighborhood they built behind mine but not my middle class neighborhood.

Double vanity in the master bathroom.  Nice.  Counters still seem cheap or out of date to me.

I believe this is a garden tub.  I think I read it had one.  And I believe it’s under a frosted window.  This is on the side of the house at the front.  I believe this is the master bathroom since the house has only two bathrooms.

And here’s the second bathroom.  So the other tub must be the master one.  This one looks nice.  Simple bathroom for guests and kids.

Backyard.  It’s kind of on the smallish side so if you aren’t much for gardening then this is for you.  I think I’d want a privacy fence because the yard is completely open.  I can see half of it from my craft room upstairs across the street.  And since the house is for right now the corner house the people on my street which is the main street and the street that it corners with can all see into the backyard.  So yeah, I’d want a privacy fence.

They really took crap  pictures of the house.  They should have taken one of the front and not take internal ones until the house was done.  And not one of the garage.  It doesn’t even tell in the listing that it’s a double garage.  And the listing has it in the wrong zip code and on the wrong street.  LOL!  No one it hasn’t sold yet.  But I am surprised it hasn’t because it’s in one of the best school districts in town.  I’m sure it will sell soon with all those military people being moved here over the next few years.  But still, I wish I knew who will move there.  I hope they aren’t jerks.  If I could I would move there, but alas I can’t.  Oh well.  I don’t think they will be starting on the second house until that one sells and two others on the main street outside of our neighborhood.  But the lot is for sale so I’m sure the person who buys it will be able to build a very nice house just how they like it.  So if you are in the market for purchasing a house or wanting to build your own on a corner lot with a nosey but polite neighbor living across from you, and you happen to like dolls, drop me a line and I’ll hook you up.  ;-) 

And just so this post isn’t completely boring, here’s a sneak peek into what I started on today.

Ignore the messy desk, it always looks like that.  The focus are the ten pieces of fabric slowing drying from no-sew glue.  Tomorrow I will sew across those sewed hems and make “hopefully” ten cute little dresses.  I have the threads I want to use all ready to go right there, so tomorrow will be a busy sewing day.  :-)  Looking forward to it.  :-)  Ok, I’m off.  I want to go watch an episode or two of the new Korean drama I started.  I finished the last one that I will review for you in a bit.  It was ok, nothing to write home about.  Ok, talk to you later.  Bye for now.

Miss A - Breathe

So today has been a rather crap day.  One of my “friends” did something really wrong to me and it caused me to get so upset it affected my health.  No one should have that kind of pull over your life, so I have temporarily banned them from my life.  Sorry to post negative stuff in the blog but sometimes you just have to tell what’s going on in your life to help deal with it. 

Anyway I needed a pick me up bad.  I was going to sort out some Fall fabrics for my sew-a-thon when I learned Miss A’s new video came out today.  It’s so bubble gum pop that it put me in a good mood.  So I bring it to share with you all.  I hope you enjoy.

I won’t be blogging about much else today.  Sorry about that.  Just really sad over what happened.  I’ll be fine by tomorrow, just today I need to go into hermit mode.  I’ll be back tomorrow with more to share.  Take care until then.  Big hugs to you all.

Loves ya,

Dark Hunter

So there is a book series out there called “Dark Hunter” by Sherrilyn Kenyon.  Not sure what the series is about.  Seems like hunters that hunt demons or vampires.  Not sure, but I want to find out, it seems very interesting.  I wonder if they are in ebook form so I can pop it onto my Nook?  Must find out.  But anyway, so this series has a big following, and you know what that usually turns into right?  :-D

The characters are turned into 12 inch poseable dolls!  :-D  And I have to say I love the two dolls so far in the series and wish I had 300 dollars just laying around collecting dust.

Isn’t he beautiful?  I have to say I have a soft spot for cute guys with black and read hair.  I rooted an Obitsu male doll with the same color combo, but he has read hair in back under his black hair.  But I love how this one is done also.

This is Acheron, from what I gathered, he’s the main character of the storyline.  I think the first book in the series was called Acheron.  Please don’t quote me on any of this info as I have yet to read the series and I can’t gather much from the websites or wiki of the series.

He comes with some pretty cool accessories too. A very detailed doll here.  He’s so well done I could even overlook the side glancing eyes.  If you have read my blog long enough you will know that I HATE side glancing dolls.  But he’s so beautiful I’d get over it.  Heck, he’s got shades, I’d just use them more often than not.  ;-)

The second doll in the series is Simi.  I don’t know who she is, but something tells me she’s either the hunted, or the hunted love interest.  Think of Buffy and Angel.

I love this picture.  I love how the red light makes her hair look red.  You can almost picture she’s in hell and the light from the flames are making her hair appear red.

She’s very pretty, and I love her horns.  Her outfit is cute too.  But one thing that stand out to me are her eyes.  The reminded me of another doll.

Victoria from the Twilight doll series by Mattel.  She also has red eyes.  So is it a running thought that evil beings have red eyes?  I’m curious about that because I am writing a novel with vamps and I am wondering what color their eyes would turn when they vamp out.  I think red has been over done, I don’t like gold, maybe silver, I thought blue but that has been done.  So far their eyes turn pure black but I just don’t like that.  Oh well, it may end up being red after all.  LOL!

Like Acheron, Simi comes with some cool accessories.  I am curious about the hot sauce.  Is it a think in the books or is it just a cute accessory added to the doll?  I’m thinking it’s in the books kind of like a true blood thing.  I love her coffin purse.  Once again, she’s a side glancer, but once again she’s so pretty and cool that I could overlook that.  :-)

I’m so curious about this series, I wonder if my library has the series?  I’ll have to find out.  But I just wanted to show you guys these dolls.  This was the post I was going to make before the shoe post, but I had to put if off until I did the shoe post.  Oh speaking of shoes, I was on Etsy looking for stuff for a new segment I want to do on my blog and I saw people were actually making Armadillo shoes for their dolls, mostly Blythe.  I don’t know if it says much that they have not sold yet.  I’m sorry, but even on dolls those things look weird, and that’s my non-final say on that.  :-D

Ok peeps, I am off.  Gonna lay down here and finish my Korean drama that is turning out nice, and I hope it ends on a happy note.  I’ll do a review about it when I finish it.  Talk to you all later.

Loves ya,
Mouse
