New Eyes!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Notice the creepy photobombing Santa in the background. Totally unintentional, but kind of hilarious.

Eye update!

Looks like Uri's eyes may be done by the end of this week!  So psyched!

More illness, moving, and pictures!

I had grand plans to post pictures of Uriel in his new hoodie this week, and then the plague descended. :/  I had been battling a cold for about two weeks, but then I started getting really sick.  Apparently I contracted a nasty case of strep throat and I'm finally back on my feet after several days in bed.  I also moved during this time (which didn't help with the rest and relaxation...), so everything is sort of all over the place at the moment.  

Uri as usual is on the only doll to be unpacked and already sitting in a place of honor on my bed.  But everyone else and all their clothes is still in bags and boxes in my closet.  So since I didn't take pictures of any of them...have pictures of my room instead!

My dresser/altar space. My roomie found that mirror at the dump of all places, and it's perfect. The statues featured were ones I bought in Greece.

Our kitty "helping" me set things up.

One of the windows opposite my bed.

My music area, before I brought the guitars in. It's considerably more crowded now.

My bed!

Happy, sleepy kitty.

The living room which my roommate decorated. He's got pretty impressive decorating sense for a guy.  That gigantic mirror also came from the dump. It's huge, and beautiful. It actually still had tags on it from an auction, I thought it was really strange that someone had tossed it.

We shall be back to our regularly scheduled dolly programming soon!

New hoodie!

Uri's hoodie from crazykimochi (on DoA) came in today and I love it.  I had her put an image of a devil's trap (from Supernatural) on it because I thought that was so ironic and snarky.  Uri would definitely wear a devil's trap just to mess with the hunters.

Busy month, and missed anniversary.

November turned out to be a busier month than I expected.  There was some personal, family-related issues going on, and then my best friend in the world (the one I have tattooed on me) came home for a week.  So I was on friend standard time, which mean lots of fun and very little sleep.  But she has departed for her side of the country with the promise to return for Christmas, and we can get back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Something I did miss in this whirlwind of a month was Nowell's second anniversary with me.  He arrived about a month after Uriel on November 15th 2010, so he is officially two years old (with me at least) now!  So here are some fun facts about Nowell:

• He got his name from a Tori Amos song, "What Child, Nowell"
• He was my first real Volks doll. I did have a YoSD Suzuna before, but was really too afraid to do anything with her.
• He is the most well-traveled of all my dolls, even coming to Georgia with me once.
• He is my only white skinned doll, and probably will always be.  
• He was featured on the Volks blog once.
• He was part of a psychology presentation a classmate did for one of my school courses.

Right now he's sort of stealing a wig from Gabe, though I really like this combined with the eyes he stole from Uri.  Not sure if he'll keep both, but we'll see.  I really need to dig all his clothes out of storage so he can be as well-dressed as he should be. He and Uri have more outfits than I do, I swear.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
