Update!

Is "back-ish" a legitimate expression? We'll pretend it is.

So I am still alive, just trying to adjust things and get back into my normal routines. Without going into too much detail, I was diagnosed with a health issue over the last few months that threw me for a bit of a loop. It's something I can work with, but I've had to readjust the way I do things in terms of time, energy, and health. Still getting there, but I've been trying to be creative in small ways when I can!

One such project is a new, humorous Instagram account for Spock Bear. He is slightly less complicated to pose and photograph than my dolls for the moment, so I've been doing some work with him. I will also be traveling with family this Christmas holiday, and I've planned to bring him along for some illogical fun. If you're so inclined and have an Instagram, you can follow him @justillogicalthings. I will hopefully be able to upload some of his photos here as well as we go along.


Speaking of photos, the other exciting thing to happen since I last posted is that I got a new camera! It's not particularly fancy, more of a point-and-shoot, but it's the first actual camera I've had in a long time. I am hoping to try it out this weekend so that I can get a feel for what it's like, but I think it will definitely be better than just phone shots. So there should be more photos to come!

Halloween Fun!

I haven't been able to do a lot with the dolls as of late due to my illness kicking up a fuss again, but I was able to do a few small things for Halloween which was nice! I made a costume for work, and a prop for our Halloween decorations which were themed on Hocus Pocus.


The costume was a onesie based on my dog Bear, who is a tri-color Pembroke Welsh Corgi. I have seen a lot of white and tan ones available online, but I really wanted one to match him. This is a picture of him for reference.



A picture of the finished onesie! Very comfortable and warm. I could wear these all day.


This is a picture of the Book from Hocus Pocus, which has always equally fascinated me and creeped me out. 


My version isn't entirely screen accurate, but it was a lot of fun to make!
